  • 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.

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 🤣
