Lester Henderson concentrates on a small slab of marble like stone as he explains lapidary work. He hunts cuts grinds sandpapers and polishes semi precious rocks while wife Mrs Henderson mounts stones into jewelry. They travel for finds and show off pieces in glass cases at home.

Lapidary Craft Requires Time and Skill
Lester Henderson estimates a finished stone needs at least 12 hours from marking to final polish. He uses three grinding wheels and a self built polishing setup, with Mrs. Henderson mounting gems for earrings, brooches, and necklaces. The process highlights the long shaping and sanding phases and value dependent pressure. Ozarkite is ground while a plume agate from Texas is polished.
