In this video I show you how I cut and polish agates using a lapidary saw and a flat lap machine. At the end you can see the beautiful mirrors my work has produced!

Moroccan agate collection, 2019

Some of my Moroccan agate specimens. Some are bought and some are own finds. All these agates are from the minerological trip I had with 8 friends from the geology club in 2019. All lapidary was done by me.

Absolutely magical
I really love the Indonesian moss agates that look scenic. I never see them being cut and polished though and wonder do they just not have good access to it? Java Island seems to be the spot, but the clarity of the agate that allows you to see all the beauty going on inside, all the colors just amaze me.
Could you mention in the description where precise in those cities you went? Or post accurate google maps locations?
can you resource me how to get a polishing table and the stuff to polish it?? i want to polish my agates!!!
It's quite difficult. This machine was also hand built. For flat polishing you would need a machine that rotates a flat steel disk with grooves in it. On that you use Silicon carbide grits to grind. Another disk goes on with polyurethane or felt and you polish with Cerium oxide. Hope this helps a bit
Awesome vid
Bam baby!
Nep 😊
100% echt en natuurlijk;)

Outstanding polish. I must get a flat lap. I have rocks tumblers, rotary tools, and a cabbing machine. On my cabbing machine I struggle but mostly fail to get a flat surface and darn sure don’t get that kind of shine. I’m a beginner but watch a ton of rock content on RUclips. I’ve never seen anyone use a flat lap like yours. That is by far the best shine I’ve seen with the exception of channels that only show the rocks finished and not how they got it to that point. I enjoyed your video thank you for posting. I’m now a new subscriber to your channel 😊
Exquisite
Awesome! But I have never seen that flat-lap. If you bought it, please give link to where I can buy it. If you made it, link to video where you show how it was made.
😳🔥
Wow those are beautiful
I don't understand, I got into faceting and contamination is a big issue, but you use the same lap for every grit, how is that possible?
Faceting is a very different sport alltogether. I use a cast iron disk in combination with several grit sizes. I usually do more than one agate at a time. For example, I grind 20 agates with grit 150 to make them flat. Then I clean the disk very well and do all of them on grit 360 or 400 to smoothen. This way the disk gets primed for that grit in the meantime. Afterwards when I get to 800, the first few agates usually get scratches. After that, most will turn out perfect. The ones with scratches just go another round. So, yes, you can use one lap, as long as you use the same grit for longer, so your disk is ground down to the same roughness
Kunt u de locatie van deze plaatsen aangeven waar het mogelijk is om dergelijke snoekbaars te vangen?
Heb ik bij een andere comment bij deze video gezegd;)
Seeing How rarely you upload on RUclips, I'm glad I made it to your video this quick 😅... BTW the Agates are soo awesome, nice patterns and color, I Loved the Pink Geode Agate ❤, Can I ask... Have you ever seen Indian Agates??, because I have a little collection of it. I collect it myself from the rivers and mines 😊❤
Thank you! I believe I have seen some a long time ago, but I don't have any in my collection. I do have some Island agates though:)
@@tonnyvanhemert9826 cool 👍
🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍Beautiful Chinese agates! Excellent polishing. Just a pleasure to watch. Thank you for the presented collection.

THATS MY TEACHER
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I would love to learn more about this method and the machine you are using. I've been searching for someone using this method. I'm starting Lapidary, but everything has been diamond wheels. Thank you again. Beautiful polish.
Hello Tony, very nice work Where did you get the flat lap machine and what does it cost Thank you Carl Zatsick Farmington Michigan
It was not bought at a store. I was lucky to have a contact who knew someone who built them himself. So, I can't really tell you where to buy one, but for a machine like this you should think in the 1500-2000 range:)
The disk you used for polishing reminds me of a pottery wheel machine. What are the chances of it doing the same thing. If it does, I must find it in the warehouse. Beautiful stones and great polishing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I think a pottery machine will not have enough power. It needs to have some speed, but also enough power to not get slowed down when you push a bit. You can try to do some research. The disk I use is polyurethane. I polish with cerium oxide;)
@@tonnyvanhemert9826 You have made the right points. Yes, I hadn't thought about the power thing, thank you.
Nice eye dude! 💯🎯👍🇺🇲

Hey vraagje ik zou heel graag willen weten welke locaties dit is waar je staat te vissen op de maas ik ken deze niet vinden haha
Dit zijn de kribben bij Ammerzoden. Good luck!
Dankje!

Wow look at agate 2
That always comes out so beautifully done. Thank you for sharing your amazing rocks and polishing them up. 😊
Thanks for the ♥️
very cool, i am coming to europe in the summer and hope to find like minded people
That was a really good video. I have never used a flat lap like that. I have a very old, homemade flat lap, but I use laps with silicon carbide or diamonds in the lap, rather than brushing on my grit. It's not very good at polishing large, flat surfaces like you're doing. Have you ever used a vibrating flat lap? Your method looks better, but I was wondering if you'd done both so you could compare the two.
Using a vibrating flat lap produces roughly the same results, you just need some more patience, as the first grit might take a week to finish, before you can move on. Using a rotating flat lap is difficult to start with, but when you get the feel and experience, it is very satisfying and as you can see produces a water/mirror polish😁
great video i love those laps that you have to charge with grit :) they are not often used in the USA but i like how gentle and obvious the results are with the agates your cutting Thank you so much for sharing this video I just liked and subscribed.
Thank you Dave! This method, to me, is undoubtably the best way to get amazing results by hand. No striping, no scratches, only beautiful mirrors😁
To me it will be interesting to see the design of you lap. Especially the way how the disk is driven by motor and spindle mechanism.
It's not an insanely difficult design. It's a ste frame with an electro-enginge mounted to the back. A pulley with snare drives a centre pulley which holds the disk:)
Thanks for sharing your experience. I use the same technology and I believe it’s the best way to polish the rocks, especially big slabs where you need to work with large surfaces
Very nice results with this system. Thanks

🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍 The original reliable, proven, ancient method of grinding agate with abrasive powder on cast-iron faceplates. I also practice. In addition, I remove the missed scratches with a fine abrasive on the glass. Thank you for your video review and additional information ruclips.net/video/AiRyY1Bo1EA/видео.html
very cool, i am coming from canada to germany this july and would like to get out for a day, any help to go out or where to go would be appreciated
If there are any fields empty, you can try walking them in the Freisen region, or around Idar-Oberstein. Just make sure they are ploughed fields and not sown:)
Ik ben dan wel geen leerling van u maar ik probeer een opaal te polijsten met mijn dremel. Maar hij blijft mat. Heeft u advies?
Hm, lastig. Mineralen polijsten zou ik zelf niet met een dremel doen. Het is natuurlijk altijd te proberen. Het is wel belangrijk dat de slijpkoppen die je gebruikt van hard genoeg materiaal zijn. Zo zijn de wielen van een cabochon machine ingelegd met diamant, of silicium carbide. Dan is het zaak dat je in groftes steeds dunner gaat. Dus van grit 200 opbouwen naar grit 600-800 en dan kun je polijsten. Het polijsten gebeurt met vilt en slijppoeder gemengd met water. Het poeder wat ik gebruik is cerium oxide. Het slijpen zelf kan trouwens ook niet droog, dat moet ook altijd nat gebeuren. Veel succes!
@@tonnyvanhemert9826 bedankt voor je antwoord. Ik heb het met de polijstpasta gepolijst en juist daarmee is het helemaal dof geworden.alle mooie kleuren zijn weg ...
Dan heb je de verkeerde polijst gebruikt ben ik bang. Eentje die toch schurend is en niet voor dit doel geschikt. Dan bestaat ook nog eens de kans dat je de kleurlaag weg hebt geschuurd. Als die helemaal is weggeschuurd krijg je het niet meer terug bij opaal.
@@tonnyvanhemert9826 bedankt voor uw antwoord
Ich würde gerne wissen, ob es möglich ist, zu teilen, wo das Angeln ist.
Ja, kein problem. Das ist auf die Meuse bei Ammerzoden in die Niederlande.
Hello I am from Morocco , which place where this beauty, I also have some if you like to share some pieces contact me.
Where did you buy the stone grinding machine?
You can ask shops in your neighbourhood that sell minerals for information on where to buy them. They can tell you where to look. You can also try to find groups on Facebook that sell lapidary machines.
Amazing video i love yours roadtrip!! Can you send me the position of your dig in minglanilla for the aragonites? Thank you very much
hello im 13yo and would like to go look out for some crystals any advice is it accesible ?
