Will this work on Gemstones and rocks?

I don't see why not, I used it to polish concrete all the way down into the aggregate and most of that is rock. The tricky thing will be how you secure the gemstones and rocks in order to use the polisher on them.

Probably not. Desiqned for larger pieces of stone more like tile ,coutertops etc

My general response is yes. You can use this tool to affix rhinestones to virtually any surface that absorbs water. Leather, vinyl and pleather repel water and are not suited for hotfix rhinestones. Always test application on a fabric scrap to be safe.

Depends if you have an wet stone or an oil stone. Spit just doesn't do it for a oil stone

Absolutely. It works beautifully on all sealed stone, incuding travertine. One of my clients has a highly polished travertine floor. We've been using this product on their floor for five years and it positively glows!

I would think so, maybe using a cotton ball. I have only used it on jewelry though.

No. To polish rocks you need to use some kind of polishing media and water. I think it would make a bit of a mess with a vibratory polisher.

Truthfully, I can only guess. It is supposed to work on porcelain tile, etc., so I would think there would be a good chance of it working. I would suggest trying it on a scrap piece of granite first.

noooooo, the pressure is too great. sonic cleaner is best for most gemstones. or u can use ammonia water on them with a soft bristle brush. do not use ammonia on coral, jade those types of gemstones it will damage them.

Yes. The gems will stick very well with this glue. But when you decide to remove the gems, I suggest using an acetone remover so that the gems along with all glue residue is fully removed.

I have not used it to cut gemstones but I have successfully drilled 3/8" glass with a diamond point bit. Hope this helps , Merry Christmas.

It should not, but if the stone is very porous, it might pick up some color.

The label indicates it is good for granite, marble, or any sealed stone. I use it on my granite and silestone and it really does the job!

I think it would certainly be a viable solution. I used this on metal which I believe is the intended use. That said I did "test" it on a brick paver that had some spilled paint on it and it bubbled up and removed the paint within 15 minutes. I will say that this has some acid in it I believe so you wont want to leave this too long on any sort of stone or it may cause damage as it will likely start to eat away. Good luck. IMO it is certainly worth a shot!

As a stone worker of 20 years I would strongly recommend against using this on marble. Having said that, I've never tried it so I'm not 100% sure it won't work. I think you would be better off hiring somebody to polish your counters.

I've not used any of mine on crystal but on stone and some glass. Very pleased so far and I think they will do what you want.

I Have not ever worked with stones, but it works very well on towels. Don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.

I am not sure, I am a jeweler and used thid for polishing wampum (quahog shells / hard clam shells) and it worked wonderfully for that purpose. Sorry, I am probably not much help.
