Many people often ask about the techniques we use for fossil preparation. We rely on two main tools to achieve high-quality results: scribes and micro air abrasives. Scribes can be costly, often exceeding $800-$1200, while micro air abrasives can range anywhere from $3000 to $20,000. These methods can be challenging for beginners but can be mastered with practice and experience. Magnification is a critical factor in ensuring successful fossil preparation.
