About Us

We love to cut rocks. It’s our passion for cutting that has led us to building equipment that enables many hours of pleasurable and productive cutting. We feel it’s important to actually know something about cutting to design and build quality lapidary tools. You’ll see our 40+ year passion for lapidary when you experience our equipment and visit our other businesses The Rare Earth Trading Company (www.RareEarthTrading.com) and Spheres To You (www.SpheresToYou.com).

At Highland Park Lapidary we manufacture high performance slab saws, sphere cutting machines, specialized diamond tooling and oil cleaners. We design all our products in our shop in Texas and manufacture them in our factory in China staffed with our own employees who we personally manage to insure the highest quality every step of the way.

Simple stated, our equipment is Built to Last a Lifetime™.

Over the last 20 years we’ve seen the lapidary industry in the US shrink in size as less and less people have come into the hobby. We think a big reason for this is that equipment is simply too expensive and often too poorly built to enable a new enthusiast to be successful.

We started manufacturing the Highland Park Style Slab Saw because we believe this design is the very best. Our first saw (acquired when we were age 10) was made by Highland Park Manufacturing and we greatly admire and respect the pioneering work they did in creating quality lapidary equipment that still can be found in operation today. Our Highland Park Style Slab Saws and other lapidary tools are manufactured with this same commitment to quality and performance — at prices affordable to the beginner or the seasoned professional.

We encourage you to compare our products to anyone in the industry and you’ll discover what many others have already found out — our durable, quality equipment will perform for lifetimes of cutting — at a cost far less.
