      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.

    I came across your channel at random and now I am hooked and subscribed. The reason is two fold, at first it was the beautiful formations you find inside these rocks, etc but then what has kept me here is your absolute wonder, amazement and enthusiasm at what you find as you look inside for the first time and take us with you, its so infectious. Love it! 😁😁❤❤

    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

    Congrats on the new 10 inch saw Man! Just watched your other video where u open it earlier 2day. (You are 1 strong dude the way u picked up that 40 lb saw💪😄) I just got my first tile saw, (not even unboxed yet tho I'm SO stoked) but I started right off the bat with a 10 in since that's what necessary to cut 3 inches of stone (without rolling)... Mine however is from Harbor Freight (a budget hardware-ish store in the US) so it is definitely NOT going to be quiet tho, and I anticipate getting sprayed quits a bit as well. Must be pure Awesomeness having such a high end saw made especially for rock cutting!

    I love coral. I have a lot of limestone fossilized coral from west of Fort Worth, TX. Insane how much there is. I would keep everything you cut. Even the ones you thought were substandard. It's coral! And on top of that agatized coral.
