Professional Stone Drilling Services in Orange County

Question
I just visited  a local "Gem Fair" here in Orange County and was overwhelmed at the number of vendors.  However, I was not able to identify a source for drilling holes in some small polished rocks I have collected over the years.  Although I admire the passion of those interested in beading, rockhounding and jewelry making it will not be a hobbie of mine at this time.  Accordingly, I am looking for a person or business that will contract to drill these stones so they can be strung into necklaces.  The stones range in size from 1/2 inch to 1.5 inches and are random shaped and polished.  Stones are all types from quartz, chirt, feldspar, petrified wood, granite and some unknown .

Answer
Brian,

Drilling holes is a problem unless you are set up for it.  Vibra-sonic drilling is the best way to go for production drilling.  

Here is a guy that offers commercial drilling.  Check him out and see if you can do what you want.
