  • In this video we are going to be slicing open a bunch of little pieces of agatized coral to find out if they are worth cutting open or not! This agatized coral is from Florida and if you are interested in getting some, check out ‪@DigDiveDiscover‬ store linked in below in "all links". I am using my 10" lapidary saw from Hi Tech Diamond to cut all these pieces and make sure to watch until the end to see how all of these are hiding amazing details when put under UV light.

    Based on your previous video on these corals, I ordered a large box. I've cut about half of the order and some do show interesting patterns. I want to polish the cut surfaces....when the temperatures go down (Arizona). I will use a flat lap and will start the process with a medium/fine grit disks. My small saw is the same as yours, and when I cut for a little over an hour, my blade was covered with rust by about 2/3rds of the way through. I didn't think about the salt issue and I have soaked my remaining corals in fresh water a few times. I don't know if the soaking will cause any harm to the coral, but it will probably be easier on the blade.

    • @AgateDad
      @AgateDad  2 года назад +2

      That’s crazy about the rust! I never had that happen, sometimes there’s a little when I forget to dry the blade after use but never during.

    Idk if any other rockhounds can relate, but I always feel like nature is playing a practical joke on me, where some of the most beautiful, detailed, and unique specimens I have ever found are so tiny, while some of my biggest I only kept for their size because they are otherwise average at best

    Beautiful! Its so cool how the UV light brings out more of the beauty and the band's. I'd make Christmas ornaments out of some. If resin didn't take away the beauty and drill a hole to run ribbon through it to hang on the tree. Oh, polish first.
