About us

Hi, Ivey & Bradley Mansell here!

First and foremost, we are huge rock lovers. Whether it’s spending weekends out rockhounding or still being in awe of a specimen we found over a year ago, there’s something incredible about the raw beauty you can find in the dirt.

But as much as we love the "find," we realized pretty quickly that getting it to that glossy end result was a different story. If you’ve ever looked into faceting or serious lapidary work, you know the equipment can be wildly expensive. It felt like you had to be a professional with a massive budget just to start with your stones and see what you could make.

Why We Built The V-Height Pro

We built The V-Height Pro because we wanted a way to turn our finds into something beautiful without the massive price tag. We didn't want to spend all our money on the gear; we wanted to spend it on the hobby itself.

The V-Height Pro is our solution to that "budget vs. quality" problem. We engineered it to be precise where it counts, stripped away the unnecessary stuff that inflates the cost, and focused on making a tool that actually works for people who love to experiment.

Our Goal

At the end of the day, we’re just makers who want to help other people get into the craft. We believe that everyone should be able to take a rough stone and turn it into something they’re proud of. We hope the V-Height Pro helps you spend less time worrying about the cost of your tools and more time seeing what’s hidden inside your next favorite rock.
