  • In this video I re-tumble some agates from a previous video that did not take a good shine due to an error in using the wrong grit for final polish. I correct the error and come up with some pretty shiny rocks!! We take a look at the rocks close up and I do a before and after slide show at the end. THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

      When we go on vacation to visit them we do some but I wasn't into it like I am now. I love rockhounding. We would go looking for shells and sea glass on the shoreline. The girls loved that. Sadly with this virus we have been unable to visit them this year. Hopefully next year we will be able to make it out there.

    OMG!!! These are so gorgeous! Many many Jewelry-worthy pieces in there! I'm just drooling--you certainly are in the area for THE MOST BEAUTIFUL Colors & Patterns!! Do you have a cabbing setup & interest in making cabs? I could just see so many of these as set in either fancy wire-wraps or silver bezel settings! Thanks so much for sharing your RICHES with us!!

      We don't have a cabbing machine. Schedule is a bit busy these days to take on too many lapidary activities. Tumbling seems to be all I really have time for. Perhaps someday if the channel grows I can get some more resources and possibly start making jewelry but for now we are just stockpiling all of our tumbled rocks. An Etsy store is another possibility. Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays!!

      @@RockhoundingLife Please forgive my unwarranted vicarious ambition! I do know that full-on lapidary can be an all-consuming energy magnet-I only managed to dodge that bullet for myself by moving away, which ended my own rockhound efforts. In my pathetic defense, it's just that your rocks are SO VERY BEAUTIFUL and I could so clearly see them made up into jewelry. I'd for sure wear pieces made from your little jewels. My apologies.

    All beautiful! Wonderful tumble job. I’d say the last you showed would be my favorite. I’m always conflicted with “ natural as found “ and tumbled. Don’t get me wrong, I love the tumbled shiny, I just see such a change always, and it’s hard to know which would be best. Merry Christmas! Have fun with those boys of yours! You are all super cool! Thank you for the videos!

    Beautiful polished rocks. I'm enjoying exploring your video library as a new subscriber. If I can make one small suggestion? I noticed that the bright blue towel underneath is casting a bit of color and interfering a little with the stones (mostly the blue reflecting on the surface). Makes it harder to see the shadow bands and some of the lighter colors. Perhaps a more neutral colored backdrop would help? Just a thought.
    I have two sons I am also sharing my love of rocks with and we are beginning tumbling and hounding in our stomping grounds in the pacific northwest. So much fun to see what people in other areas are finding. Great content; we are looking forward to more! Thanks!

    • @RockhoundingLife

    Those were beautiful! My faves were the eye agate and the 2-tone jasper with the metallic line. Could the line be some kind of pyrite?

    • @RockhoundingLife

      It might be marcasite or pyrite. I already checked it for magnetism and its a negative so its not hematite or magnetite.

    The eye Agate is fantastic. I am new to tumbling using the rotary tumbler alone. Thinking about getting a Lot o Tumbler check my channel out and give me your opinion on my tumbling results.
