Is there anyone in the Mississauga or Brampton Ontario area that is looking to swap mineral items. I have some items to trade and would love to get together.

This is a good place to start, tell us about yourself, what area you live, what collection you have, how active you are in collecting and what is you do for a living.

like some insight on polishing rocks & where to get the right stuff for the job I live in Toronto any local resorces would be great, I seen the video & it didn't look like they were using a grinder & belt sander. & cleaning tips boiling it in the kitchen pot makes my craft dinner gritty. Thanks
