    I have been asked to make a simple chain anklet with a tumblestone
    accent. I normally drill my own stones, but this one is beyond my
    equipment. I need a hole drilled through a piece of agate/quartz (not
    sure of the stone - just one of a mixed lot that the customer liked!)
    large enough to take a trace chain. The stone is 13 mm wide and 9mm
    thick. I need a hole drilled large enough to take a trace chain that
    is 1.5mm x 2mm, through the thick end of the stone (1.5 - 2.0 mm diam
    hole). I only have commercial diamond drills and a small hobby drill,
    which are not long/powerful enough to drill 13mm. Is there anyone out
    there (preferably in the UK because of shipping costs, but anywhere
    will be OK) who could drill this for me? I love this list. I have an
    Honours Degree in Geology, but knowing is not the same as using, and
    I get great pleasure from my first task in the morning - reading the
    Orchid posts and learning so much! Best wishes to all Pat Waddington
