  • This lapidary adventure is filled with agates and crystal vugs inside GALAXY STONE! We cut up a bunch of amygdaloidal basalt & rhyolite to see what these host rocks are hiding. Many of them show breathtaking details, shown at the end of the video in a macro slideshow, but one of them, completed a bucket list item, which was to find a beautiful agate inside host rock. We would NEVER have found this Lake Superior agate unless we cut it open. I had so much fun cutting open and slicing these chunks of galaxy stone with my lapidary saw, I hope you had fun too! Thanks for watching :)
