What it is

Stone Age Industries is a first-party lapidary equipment, supply and rough-rock dealer in Powell, Wyoming. It sells through its own online shop and cart at stoneageindustries.com and by phone. The home page says the family-owned business has been operating since 1985, started out advertising in rock and gem magazines, and is signed by owners Bill and Linna Beebe. It is a long-time dealer for Covington Engineering, Diamond Pacific Tool Corp. and Tru-Square Metal Products / Thumler’s Tumblers. The Lapidary Equipment page also names Rociprolap, MK Diamond Products saw blades and Estwing hammers and picks. The shop has seven product categories, including Lapidary Equipment, Lapidary Parts and Supplies, Rough Rocks for Cabbing, Slabs for Cabbing, and polished stones and cabochons. Much of the equipment ships directly from the manufacturer. It is not a membership gem club and not a teaching school.

Who it’s for

Cabochon cutters, slabbers, sphere makers, tumblers and rock-shop owners who want one dealer for name-brand saws, cabbing machines, tumblers and laps, plus the blades, grit and replacement parts to run them. It also suits cutters who want natural, untreated rough by the pound or pre-cut slabs for cabbing. Orders go through the online cart or by phone. Shop visits in Powell are by appointment only.

Why it’s listed

This is a first-party lapidary supplier with its own online cart, a printed Wyoming town and phone numbers, published business hours, a written shipping and return policy, and on-page dollar prices. It is not a scraped directory card, not Amazon, and not an affiliate-only storefront.

Notes

Category is Suppliers. This listing covers Stone Age Industries’ own shop of lapidary machines, blades, abrasives, parts, rough and slabs, along with its published prices and policies. It is not a Clubs gem society and not a Workshops class program.
Stone Age Industries is a dealer for brands already listed on Lapidary Plaza (Covington, Diamond Pacific, Thumler’s Tumbler). It is a different business and domain from those manufacturers. The home page says the equipment “is shipped direct to your business and or your home from the manufacturer”, and product pages give the ship-from point (the Genie page says “FOB Barstow, CA”). The Covington trim-saw page says some Covington equipment “may take from 4 weeks to 16 weeks”.
Closure banner with no year: the home page banner says “Our shop will be closed from October 22 – November 5” and also advertises a “Featured Rock of the Month: Green Moss Agate, Valid November 1 - January 31”. Neither gives a year, so it is unclear whether they refer to 2026 or are left over from an earlier year. Call before planning a visit or a time-sensitive order in late October or early November.
The Rough Rock and Slabs page still carries an expired free-shipping note for “NOV. 23RD TO DEC. 7TH, 2021”. The home page says the current website was built in 2019, and the footer reads © 2026.
The contact email is hidden behind an email-protection script on the site, so it is not reproduced here.
The home page and Lapidary Equipment page mention selling equipment for delivery to customers in “Powell, Willwood, Garland, and Park County, WY”, but online orders ship nationally and to Canada (Shipping & Return Policy page).
Not affiliated with Lapidary Plaza.
No Lapidary Plaza contact, purchase, booking, or publication action was taken.
