Making Some Quartz Crystal Displays

Making some unique crystal displays for some of my mini finds. These turned out to be a fun easy way to display single crystals I found this summer rockhounding.
Cutting Open some National Geographic Geodes
Просмотров 755Год назад
Decided to buy one of these Nat Geo Geode kits that was on sale at my local Target. 2 geodes in this boxed kit meant to be cracked open with a pipe cutter or hammer. Well I'm gonna use my 6" lapidary trim saw to slice these in half nice for my home displays. Fun time with my son out in the shop getting these cut and other fun stuff.

Great video. I live in Kent, WA, and am just getting into rockhounding. It looks like a lot of fun.
Love that blue agate!!!!!!
Thank you for watching 😊 it's some really awesome agate to find. Even cooler to cut 🤘
Are you coming to the 2024 rally in liberty this year and prospect for adventure will be there and we’re doing some hunting on Sunday
Nope I'll have to miss that one unfortunately..
I would love to take my so. Here on Friday. But I have no clue what road or where that is. 😔
Download the Google maps for offline mode. Search red top lookout, it should have good directions for those FS roads.
Wow. I too found so many of these along the Columbia River!
Wow
Where is this
Central Washington near Cle Elum.
Is that red top material?
Yeah most of it, sometimes I'll throw some jasper in there too. Or whatever I have sliced that's around the same hardness.
@TheRockHugger excellent. What kind of saw do use?
@nicholasnewton6775 Covington trim saw 6" model. Works great for these 3" or smaller nodules. However I've cut a few bigger ones just had to roll the cut. I bought it in 2020 when they were about $650. Not sure what they're going for now but I got it new and it's been a trusty little saw.

@@TheRockHugger awesome thank you for the information
Swift creek agate attaches to the host like that first one you showed in this video. I have some nice agate finds from swift creek this year.
Ive never dug at red top, just surfaced hunt. Seems like a place where a fella has to dig would you agree or disagree?
Depends on the spot but yes usually digging, no more than a foot down is most spots and your gonna hit hard rock that's been broken over time. Busy open those chunks of basalt and ryolite and you'll find some goodies.
@@TheRockHugger awesome thank you really appreciate it
Beauties
What brand of saw are you using?
Friend I can’t afford a lapidary saw tho 🥲☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
???? I want to drill into a stone but not through it. It looks as if that drill would leave a center core. Can that be broken out? Michigan Mike
Generally the core will break and stay in the center of these bits when drilling.
@@TheRockHugger Thank you
Happy to share 🤘
Thank you
My best luck has been down at green canyon where the creek comes out of the canyon have found some nice agetes there!
I'll have to check that spot out, thank you for sharing.
Ive spent a lot of time on Red Top years ago. With the best finds being the cavity filled agates. That once polished look like opals, with a hollow center of cristals casting light back into the blue. Mistakingly people think they can find Ellensburg blue there. But there is only a very small chance of it. Being they got there from washing on the shore of an ancient lake. You can find it as a cemented layer of gravel that time has now mostly washed away. But it is very odvios once found.
beautiful necklace thanks for providing a video
Nice
Saddle rock is not an easy climb, most first attempts people make usually end in disappointment. If you follow the trail up the back side theres some very cool crystalline type rock near the top
Yeah there's mostly seams of quartz presented near the top of the saddle. I've also heard of some people mentioning dog tooth calcite as well but have yet to see any myself.
Looks great but doesn’t look comfortable to lay on the chest/neck.
Beautiful!
Rockhounds 🤘
What bits do you use and what is your source?
Amazon search JINGLING 3 mm 1/8" inch Diamond Hole Saw Core Drill Bit
The ones I got before were made by joiner but these are what I'd buy now if I need more. 🤘

Thanks everyone. I knew Could count on the lapidary community for great help.
Rotation day Rocks!!
Love your channel 👍🏻😃
Wish more people would get out of the cities and into nature more. We may have a more mentally sound society. I live in Indiana so it is flat land and corn fields for as far as the eye can see. If I were fortunate enough to live near the beauty you do I would be out as much as possible. Smart taking protection with you also.
It's beautiful out here and yes always good being safe as well. Thanks fo watching.
WA state for the win !
Language young man. I’m done, thought about watching a new person, it won’t be you because I just don’t want to hear language that’s unnecessary. Good luck to you.
Bye Felicia 👋
What cool stones or crystals did you guys dig into in that kit if you can remember that is. I seen the description and it was posted in November of 2022. 😊
Most of these kits have a mix of quartz crystal and sometimes amethyst. Then usually a few dalmatian jasper, some aventurine, and some random agates.
if you spent less time on Dave's danglers ( and took the product out of the box so people could see what you're referring to ) and more time showing us the drilling , it would be better.
You're welcome?
If you dont like people digging out from under tree's you wont like Hansen's creek
I hiked all over the area looking for signs of Ian remains. Never found anything. His family deserves closure. Very sad story.
Hoping the family finds closure, it's definitely sad. Definitely just wanted to bring some awareness.
Crazy part about the ian eckles going missing happened a couple days before my best friend and I took my 9 year old daughter on her first big rock hounding trip. I hope they find him so his family can have closure finally. @TheRockHugger
Also found a rare one... with water inside.
I've found allot of the blue agate,... best when it's low tide
What r u sailing them in?
I was out there today!! Looking for fire agate and went down the road to another little hill . That wood was everywhere!!! I mean everywhere! Idk what it was! All on the surface! It’s crazy! Such an amazing area- tomorrow I’m getting up early and heading to Fourth of July mountain going to look for some banded agate, painted agate?? Not sure what it’s called. Lol
From the looks of things, none of the treasure hunters are filling the holes they dig, and they’re damaging trees and terrain. Humanity was given responsibility to take care of the earth. Do better.
Yeah some people's children these days...
God your a drama queen
Thanks for the support 😂 your mom probably didn't love you.
@@TheRockHugger When William's parents friends asked about him, his parents would change the subject.
"Into some vugs" @ 1:00 is not a vug. A VUG is a cavity, void or large pore in a rock that is commonly lined with mineral precipitates. What is shown here is called a seam or vein . @ 2:21 is an actual vug. All in all, great finds. The area has some truly magical stuff!!
Love the critical comments. 🤘😂 This was like the 4th video I've ever made. Cheers bro with all the rock knowledge
I hope i see you out there one day!
Was planning to head up there in July possibly, only met one person that's watched my youtube in the wild so far. Cheers!
@@TheRockHugger is that a challenge? If so,I accept. That would be so fun!
How deep blue some of those are naturally, makes them very, very valuable. When you find some with the clarity of Turkish blue Chalcedony, you will make some money if you wanted to.
I've watching slot of videosf for beginners and u r the easiest yet . I'll be watching watch of ur videos several times I'm 74yrs young and Ben making jewelry for 50 yrs. This is all new but I really want t learn. Thank u for ur help Bobbie
No respect for the nature that gives us the goodies. Bastards.
The weird part about that gold mine is that it is one of the few mines in the world where iron pyrite was the gold ore.
Awesome job! Just like the pro that you are. Thank you for sharing!😊
Happy to share 🤘😊
I hate hounds who dont cover their holes i see them every where but for the ones who do i send a secret prayer that they find (the one) and dont have to dig for it
Blue agates, blue clothes, blue tools!
Wow! Nice blue agate. 💙
We used to drive to the very top. It's a beautiful look out. There is also a rocky hill where you drive up to it, then you hike up and chop away.
