Where to Find Granite Mill Stones for Sale on Craigslist

Hey folks, so you’re on the hunt for some granite mill stones, huh? Maybe you’re restoring an old grist mill, building a decorative garden feature, or just love that rustic, old-world aesthetic. I get it. Craigslist can be a goldmine for these heavy, beautiful pieces of history, but it can also be a bit of a jungle to navigate. Let me break down what you should look for and some tips to avoid gettin’ scammed.

First off, the search. You gotta be patient. These things don’t pop up every day. Set up alerts for keywords like “granite mill stone,” “grinding stone,” “grist mill stone,” and even misspellings like “grainite” or “mil stone” – you’d be surprised what slips through. Check the “materials” and “farm & garden” sections regularly. Often, they’re listed by folks who’ve had one sitting on their property for years and just want it gone, which can mean a great deal for you!

When you find a listing, inspect it carefully. Ask for lots of pictures from all angles. You’re lookin’ for cracks, chips, and wear on the grinding surface. Some wear is expected – it’s a used tool, after all – but major cracks can be a real problem. Ask about the diameter and thickness. Common sizes range from 2 to 4 feet in diameter, but they can be bigger. Remember, these things weigh a ton (literally, sometimes), so factor in the cost of moving it. You’ll need a trailer, a few strong friends, and some serious equipment.

Now, let’s talk price. It’s all over the place. I’ve seen small, decorative stones go for a couple hundred bucks, and large, pristine runner stones fetch several thousand. It depends on size, condition, and location. Don’t be afraid to negotiate, especially if it’s been listed for a while.

A Word on Modern Milling (And a Product We Love)

While hunting for antique stones is a cool project, if you’re actually in the business of grinding materials – whether it’s grain, limestone, or other minerals – you need modern, reliable efficiency. Antique stones are for show; modern mills are for go.

That’s where our expertise comes in. While we appreciate the history, our passion is building the best grinding mills on the market today. If you need to produce ultra-fine powder efficiently, you should seriously consider our MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill. This thing is a beast.

Here’s why it’s awesome: It can handle input up to 20mm and has a capacity ranging from 0.5 to 25 tons per hour. It’s designed for making super fine powder, perfect for stuff like limestone, calcite, dolomite, and even cosmetics and food additives. It’s got a built-in pulse dust collector and muffler, so it’s way cleaner and quieter than any old stone operation. It’s also way more energy-efficient, using about 30% less power than some other mill types. Plus, no worries about rolling bearings or screws inside the grinding chamber coming loose – a common headache in other mills. It’s built for 24/7 operation.

Another fantastic option from our lineup is the LUM Ultrafine Vertical Grinding Mill. It’s a bit more compact on input size (0-10mm) but is an absolute precision instrument for producing superfine dry powder. It uses the latest grinding roller and powder separating tech from Germany and Taiwan. It’s incredibly energy-saving and has features like double limiting technology to prevent destructive vibration and a reversible structure that makes maintenance a breeze. Perfect for when you need absolute control over your product’s fineness and quality.

Final Tips for Your Craigslist Hunt

So, back to your treasure hunt. Be safe meeting up with folks. Bring a friend. Check the stone in person if you can. And if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. There are reproductions out there, so ask about the stone’s history if possible.

Good luck with your search! It can be a rewarding find. And if your project evolves from a historical display to a serious production need, you know where to find us. We’ll get you set up with a mill that’ll out-grind any stone, day in and day out.

Happy hunting!
