Lapidary Central was founded in 2017, and is a family owned business in Olympia, Washington. Our passion is rockhounding and exploring, and we love bringing new and exciting lapidary materials to your front door! We also enjoy hearing rockhounding tales, and would love to hear yours!

As of right now we run a private rock shop, with 6 rock saws, a genie, a rotating lap, a high speed Richardson rock ranch sander and buffer, 9 rock tumblers, and tons of odds and ends. We are working on our latest expansion, which will be high grade quality rough individually listed so you can select the perfect cutting rough for any project you have.
We are always looking for new and exciting material, so be sure and reach out if you have any interesting finds or old collections! We also buy rock equipment. If you are looking to sell any rock equipment or an old rock collection, don't hesitate to email us at sales@lapidarycentral.com
We come from a multi-generational rockhounding family! My dad, grandpa, and great-grandpa were all passionate rockhounds!
