Cutting the WEIRD ONES: Slabbing unusual rocks from the Yellowstone River
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Kate's rock saw is back in action, and this week she slabs some of the more unusual rocks she has found along Montana's Yellowstone River. From brecciated jasper to an fantastic Treasure State Agate, these stunning slabs show that when it comes to the Yellowstone, there are SO MANY BEAUTIFUL ROCKS - and that Montana agate isn't the only treasure on the river.

Thanks! I was delighted with the surprises. :D
WOW THAT TREASURE STATE AGATE WAS BREATHTAKING!!!
Thanks, Robbi!
That last one was phenomenal, kind of like buying a lottery ticket and discovering its a big winner. 👍👍👍👍👍
It really was!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: found your channel through Theo Kellison. Those slabs are stunning!!
Welcome - I'm glad you enjoyed them. :)
The final one with all the eyes is really cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! :)
Wow. The agate was beyond gorgeous
I agree!
That yellow,pink with gold tones is one of the most beautiful rocks I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning.
Ha! Red wood! lol !! That was really fun, Kate. Happy Huntin' !
LOL, I wondered if anybody would catch that.
That last one was freaking awesome. The eyes made me think of small tree trunks displaying rings of growth.
I'm hooked. Subscribing. 🙂❤
That rock was amazing.
The Weird Ones ROCKED❣️ Thanks for the Education ❣️ Keep on Rockin❣️
Thanks - it was a fun one!
That last agate was an absolute stunner. Very cool Kate.😎
I was so happy!
That eye agate was awesome 🤩
Isn't it nuts?! :)
Those are some beauts, for sure! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Oh so beautiful! My favorite one was the last one with the eyes.
:D It was such a surprise!
Another Great Video!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
That last one was absolutely stunning!
I think so too! :)
Those were amazing!
I agree. :)
That last slab with the pink was so cool! Thanks for sharing, Kate.😊❤️
You are so welcome!
Love that last one. Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Try making slabs slightly thinner. You'll get more and more light will shine through.
Thanks! I actually WAS cutting them thinner, but my cab-maker requested a little more stone to play with. :D
Kate those are some beautiful specimen slabs ... I'm envious excited for more weird ones...
Thanks for taking us along
I actually had you in mind when I decided to do this one. :)
@@KatyDidRocks that's great... I do bring out a different set of creative eyes to the world...
I love the unique
8:21 I LOVE IT! You said it was underwhelming and I was sitting here picking my jaw up off my floor.🤣 It is so beautiful!
:D Glad you liked it! The next slabs did tickle my fancy.
@@KatyDidRocks Mine to girl, mine to! 🤩🤣
Loved the last few, I imagine those shapes and colors would make great inspiration for a painting or mural. Beautiful.
Thanks so much 😊
I agree...let's see some laminated flooring in those designs!!
That last one was awesome! Loved the red/purple flecks!
It really was spectacular.
What a great show! 👍🌞
Thank you!
Gotta love Mother Nature's Magical Makings!!
I agree. :)
The eye agate did it for me. Absolutely stunning!
Yep! I agree! :)
Wow what gorgeous slabs! Especially love the one that looked like a fatty chunk of meat and the Treasure State agate. All of those eyes and the pink, what a beautiful surprise! 😍 Thanks for sharing Kate!✌🤠
It really was amazing.
Oh what gorgeous slabs!!! Love them all!
Thank you! ;)
Gorgeous weird ones! Thanks for sharing them!
Glad you like them! :)
That was fun❣️Can’t judge a rock by its cover ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely true.
Love the weird ones!!! What gorgeous slabs, especially the last ones! Loved the red wood 🥁😂! I wish we could hear each other’s reactions to each slab you held up, lots of ooooohs and aaaaahhs, that was so much fun, thank you Kate!!
Thanks for joining me. :)
Thanks as always for sharing Kate, very much appreciated. Hope all is well up in Montana! Absolutely love the piece at 8:15 with the orbs, really beautiful IMO. Thanks again and have a nice week ahead~
Thanks! The eyes were a big surprise. :)
They are all beautiful but that eye agate was beyond gorgeous.
Thans!
Katy, hi I've been watching for a while on my old man's premium account, and came over to mine to sub again. I absolutely love your adventures and upbeat attitude. Thank you for being you. ❤
Thank you - you are so sweet!
Thanks Kate.
WOW BEAUTIFUL!!! All of them in my opinion. Now I know this has nothing to do with your Beautiful Rocks (pardon the pun) but I would love to have a couple of the water bottles I see you use. What kind are they and where can I get the if you don’t mind. A huge fan…
Hi! :) That squirt bottle is 100% awesome. You can buy one by clicking on the link in my video description. Thanks for watching...
Always love seeing what is hidden inside. You had some beauties there.
Curious what brand saw you are using and is that soapy water or oil to lube the blade.
Just subscribed
Well you answered my question of soapy water or oil near the end of the video. Thanks for sharing
Wow I am so excited at the possibilities this fall. Very awesome. I normally like pet wood and CBA like agates, but love the conglomerate and the last one you cut the best, wow, loved them.
The Yellowstone has so many treasures...
I would like it if you showed me what interest my local rocks held for you. I find some real red ones. I'm in the desert southwest.
Holy TSA!!!! That was the neatest slab ever!!!
:D I was very surprised.
Beauty in the eye of holder or is it that slab of eyes yes yes it is! Very nice!
LOL, um.... yes!
They are all nice but that last one from time stamp about 7:51 onward - rocks it!!!
:D I went back to watch it - it really is beautiful!
Winner winner chicken dinner on the Treasure state agate! ~ Anita C
100% yes!
Hi Katie 👋 👋 👋 👋 I just watched your video and all the are great but I think that last 1 could pass off as a Hubble Telescope shot 😀 you pass a picture 📷 off and tell someone you just spotted a new universe 😀 whatch think hahahahaha. Anyway nice Job thanks Ray 😊
It was such a surprise!
Amazing!!!!
Thanks!! :)
The Yellow Jasp Agate was spectacular!
I think so too!
Man I wish I had a lapidary workshop! I had no idea how much I was going to need that when I was younger… They really should have covered it in 8th grade health class… Your body is changing and growing. Your voice is changing and your getting hairier… and when you turn 40 your going to need a workshop. Seriously 😂 I freaking NEED a big slab saw, and flat lap, cab king, angle grinder… They really should have warned me about this when they covered body changes in school 🤣
:D You made me laugh before my morning coffee - impressive!
I agree with Katy about having a good laugh with what you wrote.
✨ Beautiful ✨
Thank you! 😊
@@KatyDidRocks 🤩
Love the yellow agate
Thanks!
Should send a nice piece of each to Theo. Ask for some carvings. The last one just screams flower to me. Just a thought 😁
That would be cool!
Lots of good slices this round, Kate.
Thanks!
At 5:30 it looks like a little frog in that slab. Do you sell any of these Katy?
The one at 9:05! Who'd a thunk? What a beauty. Just saw you on the Rockhound Round Table FB page and gave ya a sub!
Thank you! I've been enjoying your TikTok channel. :)
@@KatyDidRocks oh too funny! We enjoy your TikToks too. Did not make the connection. Haha
Enjoying your videos. I don't have my saw yet but ordered one of these Slab'assaurus. I bet you could use one. Have you seen this? Thanks
I did! I have a couple MUCH older vices, but that one sure looks great!
Great agate.
Thanks!
That treasure state agate! sévávo!!!
LOL, Dan, I had to Google that, then realized it was from you - Cheyenne is the only answer! :) e pevahe!
Wow at the first one in video
I like them all. :D
@@KatyDidRocks yes I have that same issue when I am at graves mountain in Lincolnton,ga while I am hunting rainbow hematite and lazulite etc.
How do I shine up a piece of petrified wood, one that I don't want to cut but keep in the organic shape.
Hmmm. If you want to keep the organic shape, you might consider just using a light coating of mineral oil to make it pretty.
HI KATYDID ROCKS, FROM DISABLED SENIORS.
HELLO! :)
None were disappointing.
How do you know which direction to cut your slab?
I generally look at the outside, but then see how it fits in the saw as well.
I’d call it the different ones ❤
You're not wrong - it just doesn't have the same ring to it. :)
@@KatyDidRocks Agreed 👍
8:42!!!!!
:) I agree!
It looks like cava agrees with you about the slabs.
LOL, she really did.
The eyes have it!
:D
Sehrschon stein gefällt mir sehr 💚
Danke!
