Love the opalized petrified wood and the Dugway thunder eggs! All of them are really beautiful, especially the ones with botryoidal and that last one. I heard on another channel that a thunder egg can be a geode but a geode can never be a thunder egg. Makes sense. Thanks for sharing!✌️🤠
The dugway geode are all really good. Whether they are solid or have a cavity. They look pretty darn good! and that black agate is different but still pretty. And i love the wonderstone! the the blue green agate you cut was pretty. Both thr pet woods are gorgeous and ehe large dugway is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Good question. In the mineral world, color represents an "impurity" or the presence of one or more elements that are nor normally part of the chemical formula. Blue can be caused by a wide variety of elemental mixtures, so without a chemical analysis I cannot be certain, but I suspect that iron is one of the elements. Maybe some manganese or chromium.
How do you maintain your saw blade? I got a new blade, cut a bunch but now it's hardly cutting at all. I feel like it's still got life in it but not sure how to bring it back. I've tried using a sharpening stone to clean it but no dice.
I don't, when the blade runs out I buy a new one. I can get a 7 inch blade for $15, and will usually cut around 100 rocks or so before I have to get a new one, depending on what I'm cutting
@@theruggedrockhound Bright idea, trying to help frustrations! Saw the latest geodes and thought, "how to clean that out without also flushing neighboring crystals?"

That does make sense. Thanks!
Ooohhh pretty rocks! That blue though…. Making me drool.
Haha it is nice
The wonderstone was my favorite but that big thunderegg was a close tie for 1st. Sweet cuts and they were all very cool!
Same!
Wow, this was my favorite cutting video so far everyone one was gorgeous, so nice. Well done, great video. Love the blue, but also love everyone!
Thanks!
Great show! Nice to see that array of finds. Thanks for posting!
You're welcome!

So what mineral causes the beautiful blues

How about a Water Pik to flush the sand from small geodes?
Good idea! I will have to look into getting one

@@ikestoddard2458 Exactly!
The wonderstone looked like animal's kissing
It does!
