  • Join me on this lapidary adventure where we have a blast cutting a bunch of agatized coral fossils we got from Rick - DigDiveDiscover. Inside these agatized coral fossils is inane black, white and blue botryoidal agate geodes with beautiful banding and even some eyes!! These agatized coral fossils were an absolute blast to cut open, each one was an individual treat since they are all unique. I want to again say thank you to Rick, his channel link is below, for sending me these beautiful agate coral geode fossils, they are amazing!
    I plan on polishing a lot of these so make sure to subscribe to our channel so you don't miss those videos! Also, if anyone is interested in the kind of saw I was using, check out the Hi-Tech Diamond link below, not only do they have the 10 inch slab saw, they also have 6 inch and 4 inch saw models, as well as a ton of other equipment!

      Beautiful! Let me tell you one thing, buy yourself a magnifying glass and observe your rocks even the simple ones with it, you will see a whole new "alien" world almost as if you are looking into another world. If you have a good quality camera, it would be nice to get some micro lens which allow you to take extreme close up images.

    They're all really cool, but the one with the shell, it was prettier with the shell left INside instead of removing it. The last one was also super cool, the inside had faces. I love rocks with faces. Thanks for the cool video.

    • @zyrinaz
