Hey everyone! Thank you for your kind comments!!! Super busy this next couple of days and hanging out with the family, but I will be reading the comments and replying to them through the week. Thank you for the massive support from you all. I hope your weekend is an awesome one and I’ve got a video coming out Sunday morning explaining a project that Agate Dad and I are working on! Until then, stay safe and be the good people you are 😉👍
Oh my goodness! These are stunning... I'd be thrilled to have anyone of these in my crystal collection. I'm going to check out the links for Rhonda and Agate dad's channels now💎🤘
The finishing on these rocks is beautiful. The best. Of course I haven’t seen everyone but I’m so impressed. The rocks themselves are beautiful and you do just enough, not too much. I see people slab things and I go no no no. Just the right touch.
Coming from you man, that’s a mega compliment. Thank you for today, I haven’t had that much fun hanging out with other hounds across the world and felt so amongst my peers. So much love mate!!!! I’m gonna push the podcast any chance I get bud 😁👊
@@Rookie_Rockounding you 1000% deserve it! The work you put into the art is on point! And you are most welcome! Thank you for taking the time to hang out! We were all stoked to have you on and we are looking forward to the next time you can make it :)

I love hearing like minded people talk about rocks! I could hunt rocks all day long! Where most people just see a field of rocks we see beautiful pieces of art just waiting to be brought to life. Keep making videos!
I have a question for you on the velcro polishing pads you use in the video. Have you ever tried to use them on a rounded edge of a stone? I bought some after watching this and tried to put a better polish on one of my girlfriends labradorite palm stones. I see to have made the rounded edges worse? Not sure if I need to make an adjustment or if these pads are just meant to be used on flat surfaces. Thanks for any insight. Love your videos
Hey Casey, so definitely these are easier to use on flat surfaces but I have done a rounded one before. It just takes a lot more time because you have to really check that you’ve gotten all over the surface of the curve. It’s doable though. Just make sure before you head on to the next pad that you dry the stone really well, to see if you can see any scratches that are left over from the previous round. I normally rock the curve back and forth and then left and right. It takes a bit more time but so far it’s worked. I hope that helps mate.
I know this I an older video buy man , wow oh wow. Phenomenal pieces. I just live the jasper from there. It's so different from what I find. I would so love to own some of your pieces. Just blows my mind.
Always enjoy your cutting and polishing vids.I use the same polishing pads but have my lathe spinning them because its more comfortable to work the rocks.Just mentioning incase you have access to one.
john riceman Very messy, been there done that on my southbend, slowest being back gear but not fast enough, slowest normal gear like a dog getting dry.
👏👏Well done Jesse! You couldn't have done better. These truly turned out amazing! Boy I have a ways to go to reach you're level. Isn't it crazy how long it takes to polish tho! But when you get results like that...WORTH IT!!! Haha😄 You're a great dude for deciding to give that one back to our sis. It's seriously one of the prettiest plume agates I've ever seen. You definitely did it justice J. Sorry for the late comment. I almost feel bad writing one anymore. By the time I get here you're box is filling up and I don't want to add to it haha. But really, this was so cool. 😎🐾
Thank you mar!!!!! No no, I think I get lucky as well with my polishing, your polishing is just the same mar!!! And please never not leave a comment!!! Haha I don’t care if it’s a week or a year later. 😉👊 we all got busy busy lives!!! I haven’t had a chance to respond to even 1/10th of them! I just hope people know I’m going to! I think it’ll be after Christmas time though cause I’m working on one more and then gonna have a little holiday break with the fam. Just over Christmas times. Much love to you and the family Mar!!!! I’ll talk soon!!!!!!!!!!! 👊✨😊
Wow!!! Absolutely astonishing!!! Ive always had a fascination for collecting rocks and fossils. However I am new to agate and mineral hunting. I absolutely love watching you and agate dads videos. Such wonderful information. Will continue to watch and learn!!! Thank you for giving us beginners such a great guide!! I am officially hooked!! And I really love your style of cutting and polishing. So unique, They are beautiful!!
Hi from Oregon. Wondering how dangerous it is for your fingers with the rock saw! I want one. I just started collecting around here last year; have lots of petrified wood, agates, jasper and other things I want to cut and polish. Thanks
I have to pause because the cut and polish at 5:47 is mind-blowing your skills have dramatically increased it's over 9000. Maximum level achievement uuunlocked!!! that is a beautiful agate it's nice of you to give it to her all polished up but really she's the luckiest cuz she lives so close to all that!
Mahtaju Strachan Oh man thank you dude, I’m just having fun with them. I honestly am the worst at finishing things I start, but cause I know people want to see them, I’m actually finishing them!!!! I’m lucky to be part of this dude. And yeah, even luckier to have a mate like Rhondda. Thanks for your friendship and support dude. I mean it. 👊
Great results! I was sent a handful of petrified and fossilized wood from a friend in Arizona, it it was great material! I sliced mine a bit and tossed them in a rock tumbler, and they came out fantastic. I desperately want more!!!
Brother oh my goodness these are absolutely stunning. I was drooling the whole time. Loved these specimens. Great choice returning the plume agate to Rhonda. Shes such a sweetheart! I have subscribed to her channel. Love chatting with her. Here hoping you and your beautiful family have the very best Christmas ever. Cant wait to see the three new videos. Thank you so much for all that you do. You, through these videos, helped me through a very bad time. You will never know what your spirit means to mine. God Bless and keep you! Merry Christmas!
@@ginalanning5303 haha! And you know your 'you're from your' and I love it! I'm a grammar fiend! Not that I play by the rules all the time but little things like that make me happy!
Hello sir RR my friend! Thanks for posting more content for our viewing pleasure~👍 I'm quite late to the party today with all the content posts from the hounding community, now that i've finally been able to take the time to view...it looks like all the usual suspects have already commented on your video post so there isn't much to say except.....Holy tasty yummy goodness you've found and exposed for all to enjoy! Thank you thank you thank you!!!😁 I too find the "process" very peaceful, relaxing and cathartic.😎 Beyond getting to go and experience magnificent locations, we also have the random encounter with someone really nice to share this amazing hobby with! (like Rhondda and Benny and and and 😉) Am super thankful that folks like you, AD, TF, MeMiner and others are able to put yourselves out in front of the camera but just as grateful for those hounds who are a little more shy and tend to stay behind the scenes but are still willing to share their unique adventures~ I am personally crazy for the material in multitudes of it's forms so am grateful for all the free adventure content folks are willing to put forth the effort to take, edit and make then post. Kudos my friend for your continued efforts!✔ Look forward to your next video and am waiting with anticipation for you to announce the "go live" on your and AD's idea~ Have a super weekend my friend!
Thank you Shaughn, yeah, i just love every part of doing these videos. I actually used to be terrible for starting something and then never finishing it. Like really really bad for it. But since sharing the stones and the adventures I finish stuff! I seriously finish so much more than I ever had. And that because of you guys. I finsh things now like videos and cutting and polishing rocks because I want to share it with you guys. So I’m honestly, so so lucky to have really good people who like seeing how they turn out. I’m just lucky and grateful man. Oh and it’s go time with the hashtag, in your emails I’ve put a picture of what to do. I really hope this works and man I’m just stoked you guys are up for the idea. Big love from down under brother!
Jesse!!! Been super busy getting the hang of refining the platinum. We found out that we've got a natural platinum/iridium mix. And most of its pure... God blessed us bro because we've got pounds of this amazing stuff. Reach out to me I'll send you some specimens. Cool stuff. Beautiful stones!! Be safe !!
That last one was great, but I think I liked the pet. wood the best. I don’t think I’ve ever seen pet. wood quite like that. I’m looking forward to see what you and Agate Dad have done together. I like his channel.
Heyyyyyy mate!!!!!! Yeah, I think the pet wood was really special hey. I love how it turned out. I won’t take credit for it though, sometimes it’s the stone that lets us work how we do. Man I hope you like what agate dad and I are trying to do. He’s such a great guy, and we have been blessed to be part of this community, we think maybe we can make it even tighter. We’ll be doing a video each soon to explain it better though. Do you have Instagram?
Hi, can you please share what are the instruments you use- for cutting and polishing and also the mask. I really want to start polishing as well. Thank you.
Hey! Of course 😉 So I use a wet tile saw with a diamond blade to cut, and then I use a variable speed orbital sander/polisher. Kind of like a grinder. I think you can use a grinder actually. Then the pads I use are called diamond polishing pads. I’ll leave a link to a video that explains it a bit better. 😉👍 ruclips.net/video/c70T9IPk7MU/видео.html I hope that helps 😊
Thanks brother! I’m calling you this weekend!!!! Been hectic busy, but no excuses, wanna see how you’re doin. If you’re out fishing tonight I hope you catch a biggun!
Beeaauuttiiful! Now you know......... why I said..... I have never cut a ugly stone. 😉 they all have a beautiful side. Agate's can be opalized just like anything else, Jaspers,Carnilon, petrified wood, it all depends on the Celica that's in the stones. That's what I've been told anyway. They are so beautiful, great job! They are so beautiful. I can't quit saying that, lol. I hope you, and your family have a very great day mate. And a awesome weekend, Cheers!
#1 Catfishunter Miller Heyyyyyyyy mate!!!! Sorry, I’m late getting to the reply’s this last week!!! Thank you! Yeah the stones are just beautiful stuff. Some of my favourites hey, and definitely, never an ugly stone 😉👍 I hope your week has been kind to you and yours my friend and Have an amazing Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG...those last 3 wow.. oh they would be such a beautiful pendant ! I love petrified wood (I carry one with me everyday as it was gifted to me from Symon).. nice work rookie! Have a great weekend!
Ohh I just got my passport ..,we could really “rock” this event.. marry in Australia..and visit rookie then honeymoon in Canada .. visiting meminer(I heard he has a room in his house for you)....
Yvonne Sebastian (*knock knock) hey guys hahaha!!! Sorry for late reply Yvonne!!!! Only chance I’ve had yet to get back to everyone 😣 Ohhhhh that’s so cool, yeah Symon’s a good man hey. And on a side note, uh please make this union a thing! I would be super happy to offer you kids a room 😉👍
The stuff you find is just incredible and beautiful. I get super excited finding chalcedony you can barely see thru And they're tiny too. Keep up the videos man, they're awesome
Just found your channel as I’ve been trying to learn more about rock hounding in my area. I found a ton of jasper and I haven’t known what to do with it! I absolutely love the way you cut these. The square shapes with rounded edges and the raw faces showing too. Love you channel! You may not know as much as your idols yet but you have an eye for making the most out of these beautiful gifts from the Earth
Well if your not out there making us envious hounding, your there cutting and polishing some outstanding pieces. Just some stunning pieces and your thinking around the presentation of these specimens is spot on.
Awesome great eye in the back yard so sweet she sure does have some amazing rocks I got say your getting dam good at cutting and polishing they look amazing way to go thanks for sharing
Oops, sent too quick, love your vid’s I cant wait to get out where i live and start checking out a few spots here gold town in central west NSW, be sure to let us know if that was a Mookaite jasper or not, either way its stunning, cheers hun 👌🏼
Jojo Brew Hey jojo! Sorry late reply!!! I think you’re spot on. It’s made from the same stuff as mookaite, Radiolarite. It’s slightly a different shade but pretty much the same beautiful stone. 👌😉👍
Rens appeldoorn Thank you rens, yeah I think (Rhondda and i think) that they’re radiolarite jasper. Which is what the mookaite in Western Australia is made from. And definitely looks like some opal in there but it just doesn’t scratch with chalcedony 🧐🧐🧐 so we don’t know.
Hey everyone! Thank you for your kind comments!!! Super busy this next couple of days and hanging out with the family, but I will be reading the comments and replying to them through the week.

A trick : you can watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.

Beautiful specimens.

@5:42 wow! Beauty
Beautiful pieces
Cool👍👍👍👍✌
Thank You for posting this video, I am starting to like the look of cutting and polishing over tumbling because of the raw edge being left intact.
Yeah, I really liked that aspect of it too. A little bit more control over how the end shape turns out.
@8:40 WOW!
I love hearing like minded people talk about rocks! I could hunt rocks all day long! Where most people just see a field of rocks we see beautiful pieces of art just waiting to be brought to life. Keep making videos!
Are you in Australia? I love rocks and agates. In my spear time I go hunt for agates. I leave in Seattle WA.
awesome dude
Awsome
The last piece is probably a pink opal.
I love and watch all your videos with huge pleasure!
Thank you ! Bye

Thanks brother, will do, till I’m old, grey, and can’t anymore 😉
Ill be sending packages out this next friday. Spectacular finds. Love the videos.
Just found your channel as I’ve been trying to learn more about rock hounding in my area. I found a ton of jasper and I haven’t known what to do with it! I absolutely love the way you cut these. The square shapes with rounded edges and the raw faces showing too. Love you channel! You may not know as much as your idols yet but you have an eye for making the most out of these beautiful gifts from the Earth
Well if your not out there making us envious hounding, your there cutting and polishing some outstanding pieces.
Just some stunning pieces and your thinking around the presentation of these specimens is spot on.

Hey jojo! Sorry late reply!!!
I think you’re spot on. It’s made from the same stuff as mookaite, Radiolarite. It’s slightly a different shade but pretty much the same beautiful stone. 👌😉👍
The stones you didn't know could be mookaite or maybe some kind of opal. Look verry nice.

Thank you rens, yeah I think (Rhondda and i think) that they’re radiolarite jasper. Which is what the mookaite in Western Australia is made from. And definitely looks like some opal in there but it just doesn’t scratch with chalcedony 🧐🧐🧐 so we don’t know.
