🤝🤝🤝I was satisfied, I really liked the interesting video using the technology of making cabochons from fire agate👍👍👍👍👍
Wow, Kurt, these are amazing slabs! Love all the colors, patterns and banding, wow. Each one is priceless, so pretty. Awesome video man!
You have some really good rough. Now for the fun part, the search
for the fire. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Cool. I know the fire agate material from mexico well. I bought some from lapidary dave and sweet jim about a year ago, and sent it to rufotrist and geode cracker to work. They have sat on it and havent done anything with them yet. Which is a total waste of money. So thank you for highlighting the beauty of these stones and to show you dont have to be a pro at these materials to work them. That piece you did was really, really beautiful. Thank you Kurt!
Nice cuts and cab work there Kurt. Another job well done!
That’s was awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!
Lots of work. The last piece was amazing…I love that you left some rough.
These pieces are fantastic! The fire part of fire agates has always amazed me, it's so beautiful. I love the two cabs that you have almost finished, the shapes, the colors in them, everything! They're really artistic. Incredible job Kurt and thanks for sharing!✌️🤠
Ooooh pretty! I honestly prefer the material from Family Stones vs Mexico but those bots! It's all really beautiful regardless. Thanks for the video!
Super beautiful specimens. Love all the swirling patterns. Cant wait to see them finished. Good job cutting them too. Nice video, Kurt. Rock on 😁🤘
Wowzer! How beautiful! Your last cab is 🤯🤯🤯. Perfectly done. I would love to get my hands on some fire agate. Bucket list! Thanks for showing this gorgeous material!
Have a great rest of your week 😄
Stay Crystal 💫
Mari
Well done mate the look awesome 👌
You're a pro on knowing where to cut. Those slabs are amazing. 🔥
❤
I have a question Sir, I have a few handfuls of fire agates from california, most are complete little individual 'grape' nodules, that are completely translucent, some inclusions of black, all primarily standard rust color, but is the fire hiding, or just not there possibly, if no iron around(odd). Cheers and beautiful craftsmanship. cause i can literally see right thru the rust cloud.
So typically the fire is hiding in the dark brown/black area. If you can see right through the stone it’s likely it’s just chalcedony no fire.
If you don't mind me making a recommendation, go check out the Chasing Fire videos by Caleko & Mining America. He gives great info on carving fire agate!
I’ve never used one of these saws but your fingers look so close to the blade. Is it dangerous or is it the camera angle or something else?
This type of saw won't cut you, unless you are trying really hard. Usually the worst you might get is a burn. I was really scared of mine at first too!
@@margaretsouayah2597 I need to buy one! It looks so easy.
You should. They make rockhounding so much more fun. Plus, you don't have to ruin your neat rocks with a hammer to "see what's inside"!
I did not know these saws played loud AF obnoxious music. 😄
A change in music might increase your viewership.
