Rock Tumbling Agate & Chalcedony • Before & After
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Cutting and shaping Agates and chalcedony that we have collected in our local creeks in South East Queensland Australia, I prepare them for the rock tumbler to try and get the best results. Once thats done, we take a quick look at the process of rock tumbling, and then see how they turn out after being polished. The end result is a nice little mixed bag of polished agates and chalcedony of different kinds all self collected from our Aussie rockhounding adventures. I hope you enjoy!

I love that blue rock! I’ve done a lot of tumbling. I’d suggest not using plastic pellets in your first stage. I’ve done that several times and always regretted it. Plastic protects the rocks as you said, but it slows down the grinding in the process. In the first stage, you want to grind away as much as possible, then use plastic in the later stages. I’d also suggest getting some aluminum oxide for the later stages. I start with aluminum oxide instead of silicon carbide at the 500 grit stage. The grit rounds off more instead of breaking and gives a better polish. Keep on tumbling, I’d love to see how more of your rocks turn out.
Michigan Rocks
Hey mate!!!!! Oh man thank you for the knowledge sharing dude! I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I used the pellets in the first round cause I was afraid the rocks would get too worn down haha! But I’m gonna go without it next batch for sure. I filmed the beginning of this before I came across your channel and then I wanted to suggest your videos to others also. Your results are amazing! I’m humbled from your help man. Thank you! You seriously rock!!!!!
You should check out forum.rocktumblinghobby.com . It’s a really great forum with lots of knowledgeable people. I learned almost everything I know there.
Beauties, Maverick. One and all. Hope you feel better soon.
lizzymoore54
Yay! Hey Lizzy! Thank you so much, I’m lucky to find these little treasures!
I hope you have an awesome week mate!!! 😉👍
I love these before and after videos
What a treat! You have a gorgeous little collection there.
Mychael Lee
Thank you Michael, we are pretty lucky out here. I’m glad you liked them. 😁👍
Duuuuuuuuude I never even thought about cutting them first! That’s a great idea
Addicted 2 Rocks
Hey dude!!!!!!!!! Yeah man, it made them look crazy cool. Only I was a bit worried about if they would be too thin and also I really made sure I smoothed out all of the saw blade marks. You totally gotta try it man! Planning on watching your tumble vid very soon! Happy rock times brother!
@@Rookie_Rockounding What kind of tile blade are you using? Beautiful ❤️
A fine craftsman, indeed. Excellent job 💎
That purple chalcedony was beautiful even with the imperfections. Its actually the imperfections that make it beautiful and unique.
Ah thanks man, yeah nothing can be perfect. It’s such a beautiful stone and I’m lucky to have found it. So lucky 😉
I've found that chalcedony and agate tumble up the best. Nice work on the saw. TFS
Yeah they go so well hey. It’s their hardness I reckon, right in the sweet spot 😉
Finely get to watch your video dam your getting good with that tile cutter sweet wow beautiful stones colours and shaping and meminer is awesome guy fantastic job big guy hope your loose your cold soon but working with rocks is our antibiotics lol be safe
milesnn
Heyyyyyy miles! Thanks man, I love playin around with the tile cutter. It’s so much fun seeing inside 😉
MeMiner is just great hey. Such a great guy. Thanks for all your support too mate, I really appreciate it massively! And you’ll be happy to know that through a steady contact of playin with the rocks, the cold has now passed haha!
Have a great week mate! Till next time! 😁👍
Great stuff m8! You need to find more of that blue! And I agree with you on leaving a bit of the character of where it came from intact. 👍👍👍
Thirst Fast
Oh dude I’m so on the hunt for blue. That piece came outta nowhere while we were camping last year and then that was it. It’s pretty stunning hey. Hope your doin well my brother from another commonwealth! I’ll talk super soon! Promise
Wow! That Blue turned out so beautifully! Very nice selection of stones, I like how you shaped them beforehand gave them a bit of additional character. I use my littles as a bit of filler in the tumbler too, take up some of the space the larger ones wouldn't be in contact with other stones. Nice job thanks for sharing.
SareJen
Hi Sare 😁
Thank you! Yeah I love even seeing how the little jelly beans end up also. You never know 😉
Have a great week ahead Sare 👍
I did not realize it took so long to tumble rocks. I love looking, finding, and bring home big rocks that I like. I put them out in my rock beds.
Yeah it takes a while but you pop them in there and it goes pretty quick. I have a few big ones that I’ve found out in the garden also. Their just pretty to wet and look at 😊👍
Keep rockhounded! I enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you!!
Fabulous just fabulous finds. Aren’t they just so individually unique and so beautiful!! I love every single one 💗💖🇨🇦
Thank you for taking the time to share 💕🇨🇦
And absolutely pleasure Karie! I get so much enjoyment out of doing and sharing it with everyone. 😊🐨
Wooweee that moss agate is too sweet..great job!..Love tumbling rocks..peace!
Yvonne Sebastian
Thank you Yvonne!!!! Peace to you and have a great week ahead my friend 😊👍
Much better than last time u did tumbling 😍😍 that blue looks gorgeous they all do actually
Thanks man, yeah I’m trying to get better as I go along 😊👍
Those were awesome. Great work. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing, Davin
Thank you davin!
Very nice....Oh that blue one is something else. What a beautiful colour. My mother in law gave me a tumbler it looks similar to yours, but it needs a belt. I've never tumbled but I feel inspired to give it a crack after seeing what came out of yours. Cheers
Hey mate, yeah you should, it’s a fun way to play with the rocks. Probably won’t have as good as a result as what you do 😉💎, but still fun seeing how they turn out.
Yeah that blue was the one I was talking to you about a few months back. You can see it was probably way too thin haha!
Have a great weekend mate 👍
Wonderful
Hà Nguyễn
Thank you thank you!
Howzat!!!😊 Awesome I'm impressed with your cutting/trimming skills now! Their all really nice specimens. Oh no another cold...you gotta lookout for those little vegemites!😃 👍
Katherine Doughty
Heyyyyyyyyya Kath!!!!! Thanks mate! We’re definitely the lucky ones in this country.
Haha! Gotta love those little people, even with their snotty noses, they make the working week worth it 😉
Most days anyway haha!
You'll get a shinier polish if you run your tumbler for an hour with dish soap and water between each grit.
Awesome rocks, love them great job! Thanks for the video.
mrsman2006
Hey! Now that’s some rad advice, I’m going to try that for sure. Thank you for helping a brother rock lover out. I can’t wait to try that 😉👌
I like tumbled or polished rocks, I just like seeing them thanks for video
That moss agate! 😍😍😍😍
your point about leaving some rough is a good one. It's really the rock that tells the story. That blue is marvelous! Not to detract from any of the rest...
round51
Thank you round51, very true, I love all stories these rocks tell. But yeah, the blue blew my mind, seriously just gorgeous colour 😁
@@Rookie_Rockounding Yeah I've been looking and have to say, that for 50 some odd years rock hounding I have never come across blue... I'd go back to that spot... that is if that isn't the place you went, focus on that blue. Just sayin, that blue is rare stuff!
Yeah we end up camping there a few times a year so we’re keeping our eyes open for the blue beauties whenever possible. It’s such an amazing colour. Fingers crossed we come across more 🤞😁
You inspire me to want to tumble rocks even more than i wanted to before!!!!!
Erin James
That is awesome! I’m so glad to hear it, 👌👍😉
Very cool, my tumbler is running.me miner is the man.thx
Wildflower 1954
Heck yeah! Tumble times!
Oh and you know it, the guy is a guru 😉
Absolute success!
Kevin Luo
Thank you Kevin!
I look forward to watching your videos. I have watched them all. I live in the Wide bay and Burnett district. Got me thinking of places around Bundaberg I could do this.
Karen Sparozvich
Thank you Karen! Seriously that’s so cool. And another Aussie rock lover!! Yewwww! I’m sure there would have to be some treasures to find up your way. It’s so worth the look 😉
Yeah I've learned a lot from meMiner too. Love that blue!
Your video quality is spot on. Love your videos.
Hey thank you mate, 😊
Very beautiful, looks like a Painting
Thank you Hà!
The moss agate looks like a couple fish swimming in a lake or pond.❤️ Nice job and I love meMiner too.
Petersen
Oh yeah, I really love the murky water/pond look of that rock. It’s so pretty. Yeah mM is a legend hey!
That blue purple one is gorgeous and I agree leaving in a few basalt inclusions makes it authentic.
Travs Guide
Heyyyyyy Trav!!!! Thanks man, I got that tip from Symon I think. I’m glad it still can be seen as a rock. It’s one of my favs man.
Hi mate. Beautiful, well done . I love the blue n the moss agate, I watch the guy you spoke about a lot., he is very knowledgeable about rocks. Once again great job. Blessings.👍🍀🐞
Judith Allston
Thank you so much Judith 😁👍
Have an amazing week 😉
Nice work rookster..Some lovely specimens amongst that lot..
Thank you mate!
I read about how to make an industrial tumbler out of a rear axle of a big semi truck with the rims and tires in place. You want to cut an opening in the highest part of the rim to load rocks. The article said a cover is not needed but I always thought if I was going to do one I would have a hinged door sealed with inner tube rubber. The idea is to set up a motor geared down so the tires rotate slowly and all the rocks stay in the lowest part of the tire at all times tumbling over each other. Each tire can hold about 100 lbs of rocks and you have 4 tires going at all times each one with a different grit. Always use same tire for the same grit. You rotate the rocks once a week and you have a 100 lbs of polished tumbled stones each week.
Oh wow! That sounds super efficient too. I bet the rocks could also be a lot bigger than if it was the 3 pounder that I use. This sounds really cool 👌
Dude!!! Meminer is the man! I didn't know he inspired you :) He got me here
My tumbler runs 24/7. Never gets hot. Love your videos man. Very nice work.
jason genaw
Oh man I had to turn it off while I was waiting for time and money to buy more grit. It was getting away from me that’s for sure. Haha! I missed it dude! Im so glad you enjoy the videos man, that makes me happy dude. Hope you and the fam have a great week bro
Meminer is a channel I watch also!
The Canadian rock guy and his dog. I think his driveway has a ton of beautys in it. That's where he puts his cut aways and such.
Nice vid my friend.
spectrum of creation !!
Thank you brother! Yeah he’s a true “rock” star 😉 haha! He’s just a legend!
A beautiful collection in this mix.
Beautiful!! I love the beauty of nature. God is such an Artist!!
Beautiful Stones!!
Alan Jones thank you mate
They turned out very nice! Glad to see you are reusing your pellets. Waste not...
mark ruffner
Thank you very much mark 😊
great video rookie, you have the shaping and tumbling down to a fine art, good job mate, some great looking rocks there ! 👍
Kevin Nix
Hey Kev! Thank you man, that really means a lot coming from you dude 😉
you're getting pretty good with that tile saw! cheers m8
Brennen Dow
Hey dude! Thank you man!! Gotta love cutting days 👌😁
Great tumble, nice assortment.
What a great tip to shape the rocks before tumbling, smart. Really nice pieces here! Now that's what I'm doing with this green ocean jasper piece I found, cutting it, shaping th edges and then tumbling. So awesome, thank you for this video. They turned out beautiful! P.S. that's so cool you work in child care! Thank you for doing that!
Very well put together vid Bud. Get rid of those colds. Very nice rocks. Keep them coming. Havagudun!
Thanks mate 😉👍 have a great week ahead my friend. 😊
We enjoyed your video, once again
Thank you guys!!!
love your positive attitude and seeing all your finds, gained a sub in me.
Ohhhhh thank you mate! I’m humbled by your kind words brother. Honestly
You inspire me. You exude life and live for the moment. Thank you☺️
Theo θEΩ
Massively kind compliment there dude. Thank YOU! 😊👍
Oh my gosh you made my morning and my week I’ll be looking at this a few times if not more. No wonder you’re in child care you’re such a gentle spirit. I love meminor he’s amazing! He was one of my first finds I think you were my second. Thank you for a wonderful video. The blue one shows imperfection with beauty. Kind of like us💜
Prevent PA
I’m so glad you liked it!
Yeah mM is the man. Just a great teacher and a seriously genuine character isn’t he.
Yeah, I really like how you summed up the blue one. Imperfection with beauty, like us. I like that! 👌😁
Meminer...got it. Ty.
Love them all 😍 and love meMiner's videos, been watching him and daisy for a while now.
Anna Milligan
Ah yes gotta love Daisy’s spirit right, both of them, meMiner and her are just good happy hounds 😉
Some of them look as if they have miniature paintings in them. You did an amazing job!
Thank you Crystal and Robert 😁
Love watching you and rocks. We share a lot of the same thoughts - like - it’s rough, but I like it. Or that’s now how some people do it but I like the way I do it. So laid back and you enjoy it without getting all tense and freaked out. That’s me! Just started with Rocks about 2 months ago. Have piles and piles but no idea what they are or what I have or what to do with them
Wonderful, I watch some meminer too,
His stuff came up when I Googled polishing rocks!
Now I have your channel, quest for details and meminer... and a new guy addicted to rocks.
Rebecca Levy
Ah yes that’s a great list of tumblers, another great guy is called Michigan Rocks I’m pretty sure. He’s brilliant and has won comps for his tumbling. 😁👌
Greetings from Arkansas! You gained a subscriber with that shout out to meMiner 👌🏻 Love that dude! Exceptional work, mate! You’ve convinced me that I need a tile saw lol!
Ah you do have a tumbler! Great results.
Beautiful results. That green triangular one looks like a whole landscape from the air. Almost painterly qualities. :)
denise regan
Oh wow! I never even saw that until you mentioned it. Noiccce! I love seeing what others see in them 👌
Aquí en México disfrutamos tus vídeos y tus piedras hermosas gracias rokie
Dude, they came out beautiful. If they're not shinny enough, you can always leave them longer.....just saying. I like them to shine like glass. But that's me. I have 3 tumblers so I use one for the rough stages, and the others for fine and polish. But your stones became gemstones. I hope you have a great day mate.
Thanks mate! Yeah I’d love for mine to be like glass, I’m going to need to try and experiment with a few different things. But yeah, I can’t wait till I can get that kind of shine! 😉
Have a rad week my friend!
Man the things I can make with those gorgeous tumbles!! Specially the ones cut into cabochon like shapes!! I think I need to invest in a tumbler though they look amazing! That blue chalcedony 🤤 that ones my fave!
Stace Wood
Oh that’s so cool stace, it would be great to see what others would do with some of these. But you should definitely get yourself a tumbler. Also you can buy bags of rough rock online for really cheap, so it doesn’t limit you to just the minerals in your area 😁👍
@@Rookie_Rockounding when I find minerals in my area 😂 I'll definantly look into buying some roughs to tumble. That's a great idea thank you
Oh hahaha! 😂 there’s gotta be something out there. Where are you from?
Nagyon-nagyon szépek!
I love love tumbled Agates; Fire(especially), Moss andTree. Beautiful and glossy. Seeing the process makes me appreciate them more. But it is something to be desired about the rough stones.
2lemonades
Oh yeah, tumbling and shining them up is beautiful, but it’s always the rough that catches they eye out in the creeks, can’t beat that beauty of seeing it the first time.
Very beautiful chalcedony s and agates awesome video you all did from the land down under I'm in Arizona we got alot of chalcedony 's and agates even fire agates around great video dude
joshua couldren
Thank you very much Joshua! Oh man to be able to hound some fire agate! Ewwweeeeee! That would be amazing!
I'd buy some of those for my wife. Great job!! We cut some agates today. Nice water lines and all. Rhyolite is quite a pretty thing to cut and the calcedony that fills in the open spaces gives it a sureall affect. Beautiful stuff!!
I have to agree hey. The Rhyolite can capture some seriously beautiful chalcedony with lines and inclusions that are very unique 😉👍
once again my friend,you have created some Bobby Dazzlers! i will be checking the MeMiner mate out. thank you again from RockHound Paridise. {my facebook group}
Daryl Rosling
Thank you my friend! I would definitely check your Facebook group out but as yet i don’t have Facebook... I know, living in the Stone Age 😁 pardon the pun 😉
Beautiful specimens, Love seeing minerals from around the world thanks for a great video
Bobs-Rocks
I’m really glad you enjoyed it mate. 😊👍
I want one to wrap!!!! Those are amazing! You do such an excellent job!
TreeLynn Randomness
Thank you super heaps!
God that blue bit looked great!
Hope you'll get better soon with those colds
Shoonit St. Sinta
Thank you shoonit! I’m all good... for now haha! It’s getting chilly out here this time of year. Well. Chilly for Queensland haha! Have a great week my friend!
Very nice, we have 2 batches of Arizona Fire Agate in right now 6 weeks into coarse grind! Stuff is very hard...
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy mate!!!!!!!
Oh wow! To be tumbling that stuff is a dream for me! It must be tough stone but I’m sure the longer time spent on the rough grit will be well well wellllllll worth the wait mate. Hope you and your lady and the pups are keepin happy and well brother!
Hey I follow meminer too!! He is good value👍
I have also now decided to invest in a tumbler😊
MrTop Hat
Ha! Rad! Both very good choices I’d say 👌😉👍
so much good stuff, watching it for my second time, I like the moss agate the most, and the blue.. so rare , great way to showcase each form, just can't get enough I could look inside stones all day , thanks for doing all the hard work : )
Heyyyyyyy brother! Thank you so much dude! I’m in love with those ones too. They’re just beautiful stones and like you man, looking inside is so much fun I could do it for days. Thank you for watching man, I’ve gotta catch up on some of yours now, it’s been busy times with my work lately, need some Quest relaxation times 😉👌
I watch member too, he is awesome for info! Love your work too.
Oh these are so beautiful! I love how you cut them to fit the natural shape of the stones. I am super jealous (in a good way) of your ability to tumble them. I live in a tiny apartment so having a tumbler running for 6 weeks isn't a good plan lol. The last tiny one I could totally see as a ring and Blue would make a stunning pendant... just saying lol
Oh I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed them! I have to agree with your thoughts on those ones %100! I’d love to see them turned into jewellery 😉👌
Very nice love Agates
I got so many preform cabs that i almost filled up a drawer thanks for the idea I think I should tumble alot of the cuts that don't need to be turned into cabachons and I can do less polishing by hand
Travs Guide
Yeah man! Do it, it’s not gonna be anywhere near as precise as doing it by hand but they’re pretty to look at. Some of that lavender polished would be a beautiful batch brotha!
Each one is so pretty and unique! Beautifulllllll video, thanks for it :) and shout out to #meMiner! Brings joy seeing how much inspiration he has brought to all of us!
Katryana OranGe
Thank you katryana, and yeah his love of the rocks and doing stuff with them is so contagious 😉👌
I was just thinking yesterday it had been to long since a video and then POW a video from you😁😁😁❤️❤️
Petersen
Haha, yeah sorry petersen, I know. It feels like ages in between each video now doing them every two weeks. I hope to get back to once a week someday but for now I need more time... as does everyone I guess ha! Have an awesome week mate.
that agate looks like parts of our galaxy zoomed with telescope,milky,deep and mystic,beautiful all in all
Great picks for the tumble. Turned out amazing! 😀👍 The color of the blue...mmwah!👌 I also really liked...ALL OF THEM!!! Ha!😍 Bennys jasper turned out lovely. The one that looks like an eye...wicked! Great great job mate! I just finished tumbling my poppy's from Damon. Looking good👍 I think I may shoot a vid of them. And my rock art😉 Cheers! 😎
Oh and...congrats on your ever growing channel brotha! Over 7,500!!! Won't be long till you hit 8k! That's wonderful👍 Keep up the awesomeness!!! 🤓
Marlaina Atkins
Hey Marlaina! Thank you! I’m just grateful for the super cool people o get to meet on here and for them enjoying the videos. It really makes me smile inside 😁
Oh heck yes you need to make a video of them Mrs Atkins!!!! The tumbled rocks and the painted ones! We all just love rocks!
Thank you for all of your support Marlaina 👍
those shaped rocks will make awesome cabs! I would make wire wraps with all of them
Oh My Goodness! That was excellent Rookie! Excellent editing, excellent content, excellent rocks! It actually felt like 5 mins not 11. I don't know what else to say except thank-you so much!
I love rocks123
OHHHHH!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!! That’s exactly what I hope for Rhon! Thank you so much for your kind comment, and for your support of me on here. I really appreciate it! I hope you and your fam have an amazing week! Will talk very soon 😉👍
Hey, nice video! Your so luck to live where you have such stones!
Thank you!!! Yeah so lucky!
Love your channel man. I’m a rookie agate hunter myself here in the southern states. Keep it up!! Happy hunting!!
Hey thanks Bj! That’s rad, happy houndin over there, oh and bein a rookie is great isn’t it! Haha! Just loving the adventure of learning and there’s still so much to learn.
Gracias!
Awesome video!
Hey mate! Thank you!!
Chalcedony is my favorite word
I think it might be mine also 🤣
Bravo. Bravo. Super.
You should be ashamed of yourself! This is great stuff Rookie. I agree meMiner and Kevin are both great great guys with great info. Now you are jumping off the diving board head first motivating slackers like me! Keep it up.
Of course I was joking on the ashamed bit 🤣.......👍keep it up!
Oh thank you mate for the great compliment. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Haha! No no, I knew you were kidding 👍
I like the imperfections
Hi Rookie! Beautiful end results! I started out on a Thumblers Industrial UV 10 Vibratory Tumbler and have never used a rotary tumbler, and I have to say, how can you stand to WAIT so long??? I would go nuts! I can have a batch done in 7 to 10 days and even then I get antsy! LOL. I have been told that this is one of the hardest to learn on. I had gotten a hole in the bottom of my barrel so I talked with the very awesome people at Thumblers (AL & Laura) and I was told that I had actually wore it out! I guess that is the downfall on only having 1, but hey it lasted over a year with near constant use! I only have 3 steps for polishing so I'm working on having 3 tumblers. I don't know why but it seems like nobody seems to use the "Vibes" much. I love mine! I notice that the rotary seems to put more of a roundness to the rocks while the vibe is more angular. I'm like you, I clean my Specimens up really well before I put them in. Seeing as how I'm not into mass production I have time for that. As always Love you videos! Maybe I should do a video on Vibratory Tumblers?! LOL! Keep on Keeping it Raw & Real!! I love it! From your fellow Rookiette Rockhounder Stateside AZ!
Well, what can I say about that video?
Did you actually edit that? Or did you just stop and start your mobile phone?
You did an excellent job of editing, you must have or this would be months long watching the tub go round and round and round, stopped at three, started getting dizzy. LOL
Ok now the serious stuff, the blue and the moss are both worthy of much more, the blue is gem grade and any moss or similar with the clouds ☁️ included is highly commercial so both those and some of the tiny ones are jewellery grade.
Special ones with varying hardness need to be hand ground with different grades of disc and final polished in the tumbler ( or by hand ) .
So well done on another stage of your experience , full marks on identification and description just the right amount of information without being all technical, love it.
Symon Sheppard
Aye!!!!!! I love getting an assignment right!!!! Thank you teach! Haha!
I was actually going to ask wether hand polishing them would make them polish or at least wear down evenly compared to tumbling.
Oh man I was a bit worried about the edit but I really had fun with this one. Working on a rockhounding one this week. It feels like ages since haha!
Hope you’re keeping well brother!
You say you have a “few” nice pieces 🤣… no no no you have a ton of nice agates there 😜🤩. My favorite is 6:26 it looks like the sun is bursting 💥 through the clouds over the ocean. Sooo beautiful 🤩
WOW!
Cat Hers2hberger the 😉👍 thank you
I too love to collect such stones...I have collected only five different colour stones and love collecting...
At 7:51 I have the same green to brown to yellow stone. Found a vein and dug ours out. Some are about football size and then some of the browns are like baseballs.
We have some crazy greens
They seem to be an opal, a common opal.
I'll make a video one day.
Oh and hey great vid
TheStraightPath
Wow man football size would be such a great find. I’d love to find some more of that stuff but so far it’s only been a one off haha.
Thank you dude. And yes! Do it! I’d definitely love to see it 👌
FICARAM MAIS LINDAS SUAS PEDRAS!!! BELÍSSIMAS! PARABENS PARABÉNS.
