  • In this one, we sate our Yellowstone River blues by grabbing some of my top shelf stones to cut! These are all some very high quality stones I've been holding onto for the right occasion, and today just felt like the right time to finally dig into them! We have a wonderful selection of Montana moss agates, Iris agates, Agatized wood, and Green jaspers to dive into this time! The results were fantastic! Not a single dud in the mix! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out very soon! Keep your eyes out for the shop update coming soon, because many of the slabs and cut rocks you have seen in recent videos will be heading there very soon!

    That first jasper was so colorfull and what a surprise with th lace and iris agates. Some of these slabs should be seen under Kim's microscope. Just a suggestion since we are all snowed in. ❄️😉

  • @taramartin6117
    @taramartin6117 Год назад

    Thank you sharing such beautiful stones, the pictures inside the agates are amazing. I lived in Lemmon, South Dakota for awhile and have some picture agate jewelry but definitely not of the scope, size and quality of your pieces. Someday I promise myself a large picture agate pendant should I live so long. Truly amazing what can be hidden inside a rock. Just like turning wood, until you uncover the beauty, you have no idea what you have.

    I work on cell towers doing vegetation maintenance so I would visit 7 to 20 towers the day and I have only a 10in blade. So I picked up a 20 in drop saw that the d-ceased previous owner used for making spheres. I picked it up at first Creek rock shop in Washington, they still had all of this sphere making equipment also I just picked up the saw. I have probably 14 buckets full of agates exactly like the stuff you are finding. Brought to the Columbia River area 10,000 years ago in the Missoula floods. I can't wait to get it going. I also have a couple of buckets of uncut thundereggs for Richardson's Rock ranch Lucky strike Rock shop from Mitchell Oregon. Watching you're videos I'm pretty convinced on the 10,000 years ago Missoula flood theory. Love your videos hope to make it to your area sometime.

    I had a rock that didn't have any cracks in it and I don't have a saw big enough. I only have a 7-in wet tile saw that rock has been sitting on my porch for 6 months and it had a little pattern showing on the two halves that I brought home. One half was bigger than the other half was a little smaller but I cracked an open because I was just getting mad of letting us sit. There is just in my mind that there was something there and I cracked it open. Got lucky as s*** got a nice clean break. Nothing really broke off other than a couple small flakes and it had the best pattern I ever found. I was so happy but I was pissed off the same time cuz it's been sitting on my porch

    Theo if you glue your rocks to a 2x2 or 2x4 you can safely clamp it in your saw. The person that told me about this trick uses wood glue. When he wants the rock off the wood he cuts it off leaving just a bit of wood then soaks it in a bucket of water and the wood glue will let loose of the rock.

    I only collect Big specimens, so when I see your larger pieces I think "Ooh I'd buy that!" Well I have all kinds of smaller specimens but whole raws & raw symbiotics, clusters, Chalcedonies, Geodes, Cathedrals, Free Forms etc. So the larger rocks half polished I'd buy or half polished free forms but not small slices. I do have polished spheres & towers, all kinds of crystal bowls of fat tumbles or Fairy Quartz wands, Spirit Quartz Wands but I love big Druze pieces & my big huge raw specimens. I have way more raw than polished specimens but I have a big raw red jasper Ammonite fossil. In middle of moving so although I've posted lot of photos of my collection on Instagram & Facebook it's always growing & as fast as my new ones come I'm wrapping them back up ready to move. I'll have to do a video 1 day.
