"I might have to get another tumbler" 🤪 says everyone!
Ain't that the truth!
Yes! I started out with a 3lb. tumbler. Only took a few months to realize I needed another one. Now I have a 12lb. as well! 😂
HOORAY, another cutting video! My addiction to finding out what’s inside rocks just gets stronger 😁. I was all prepared to say that maybe-granite was my favorite, but they’re all just so magical, even the less dramatic ones. I love the information you provide on each rock and its features. Also, when you mentioned that the boys are having friends over, I felt such a pang... I remember having friends over, back in the Pleistocene era
You know the cutting rocks videos seem to hold peoples attention longer than any other video on our channel. I'm glad because I love to make them!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Me too! It's like opening Christmas presents when I was a kid!
Love that green...would be pretty embedded in counter top. Green is money.
💯💥
White quartz because of the cool designs in it. It would make a beautiful pendant. I also really like the agate and green churt.
Thanks Jannette, I'm hoping to make more jewelry pieces in the future!
@@RockhoundingLife Do you ever sell any of your slabs? I love making my own cabs for jewelry and would love to work some of them. We don't have many rocks here in Florida, but we do have pieces from out west where we used to live.
@@jannettejohnson1100 I'll probably be setting up an Etsy store sometime in 2021. Just need time to sort it out.
The one at 15:00 is super cool, looks like Fighter pilot Snoopy . It would make a nice theme setting
Such beautiful specimens! The two cherts were definitely my favourite, however the agate with black opal, as well as the one with all the pronouced crystals were stunning as well. Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I eagerly look forward to a video on jewelry made from the green chert!
I'll be cutting some bigger pieces of the green chert on the bigger saw and will be using that for jewelry making.
Looks like gold is gonna take a second seat this summer!
😂

Thr green from Newfoundland by far is my favorite!!!
Hi there. New subscriber here. I really enjoy videos of cutting open rocks. You got a nice saw, I was just looking at one like that. Lol, making me wanna get one for sure now. Some good choices of rocks to cut through. Hard to pick a favorite. I liked the quartz Epidote, the second chert was great too. But the final one is very nice!!! Can one have too many tumblers 🤔 Nah! Thanks for sharing
Hey there, thanks for joining us! Our cutting rocks videos are the most popular on the channel with respect to viewer retention. I love my saw but I just wish I had gotten the 10" instead of the 7". And you're right, there is no such thing as too many tumblers. If I had 10 they would all be running!
I love that red one the most!!
It was very colorful!!
I am in the mountains of COlorado on 12 acres of ROCKS everywhere. I learn so much from you rockhounds! I have piles of rocks and fossils all over. Need to start cutting...
Oh yes....cutting rocks opens a whole new wonder to explore!!!
I know this is an older video, but wow, I love all of them. I think as a favorite I would have to say the charts. I've never seen chert those colors. I find banded chert that's gray tones. But that purple and greens. Just blows my mind. Thanks for sharing this one.
You are so welcome!
I really like the andesitic rock at 8:20, I love the big colorful chunks inside! Rock on!
Thanks Peg! That one is an interesting one for sure. After looking at it closer the color profile makes me lean toward it being metamorphic. It looks like it contains epidote crystals and epidote is almost always associated with Metamorphic rocks. Probably a metamorphosed granite or some other intrusive igneous rock..
some excellent rocks and it nice to see inside, nice 1 cool video
Thanks!
You had some good stuff sitting at the bottom of your bucket.
I did!! I'll have to pay more attention to it!
That green banded quartzite is making me rethink my snobbery towards quartzite! Beautiful!
Quartzite can be beautiful. They make countertops out if it.
@@RockhoundingLife I agree, real quartzite counters are nice but I’m not a fan of the engineered composite stuff. I prefer gneiss or granite with giant garnets though! 😁
The e rock at 8:24 is cool, heck there all cool
Thanks Keith!
So loved this! You are getting more and more comfy with the camera! Great video!
Thanks!! I bought a gimble that stabilizes the camera. Comes with a stand.
I have to agree with you on the best 2. It would be really cool to shine a light behind some thinner slabs of those! Thanks!
I plan on slabbing some of it from a bigger piece next month.
I love watching your videos. I went to go toRoss Creek beach today but couldn't figure out how to get down there. Can you help me out on how you got down there? I would really appreciate it thanks. You do an awesome job in explaining about the rocks you find I find it fascinating!!
Sure thing It's easy! Just head all the way down Ross Creek rd. and park at the hair pin turn right in front of the fishing shanty. You can walk right out to the beach from there.
Wonderful Specimens👍 My favourite is the Agate 14:31
Thanks! That one surprised me!
My fave was that agate💜
Great cuts! These are really cool inside. I learned some new rocks, thanks for the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
I liked the blue/green Chert... I love your cutting video's, the samples you have are beautiful 👍💕
Thanks! The blue/green chert is one of my all time favorite type of rocks.
I loved that quartzite, great video 👍
They would be great for jewelry making
It was a toss-up between the last two but I think the chert wins, the green with the black spots. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.
Thank you! That Blue green chert material is some of my all time favorite material to find!
They all look nice on the inside but got to say the Epidote really rocks :) Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks C! I really like the way the quartz is a bit translucent and plays off the green.
Sweet cuts! I really dig the one at 8:30 and the rhyolite... So pretty. That chert has a beautiful color too tho. It WILL make some great jewelry. Please show if you do! 😎
Thanks M! That chert material is awesome. I love it. Definitely plan to do something with it.
I could never play hockey inside the house. Luuuuucky
They have a room for it that's big enough. Plus they use a nerf ball.😀
Right on Nice ones 😎
Thank you kindly!
Hello RL, I'm thinking a couple rocks I've cut just might be chert, they have similar colors and characteristics. I'm liking the granitic, not conglomerate one, very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Would love to see some pics of your chert. You can send them to our email address in the description if you like.
Slab tile on table, bathroom floor, countertop even if you r talented on top of light box with epoxy
I think a lot of people would call those colorful cherts "picture jasper." I'm not positive, but it strikes me as the same stuff. It's beautiful.
Actually I have some other pieces from the same place that look exactly like what others call picture jasper.
The stone at 11:30 - “It’s purple and blue...”
I’m seeing brown and green.
Next big internet debate? 😄
Must look slightly different through the lens.it definitely looks purple and blue in person. Green and brown would be cool too though!!
Oh my goodness, we need another silly internet debate about colors! I’m tired of all the non-silly stuff, it’s time for more debates with zero consequences 😁
Ragnar ❤️ epidote+quartz
Its rad!!
Lovin’ that epidote!
I really like epidote. Underrated IMO
@@RockhoundingLife Wyoming is full of wonderful epidote and unakite. When I moved to Montana, I left some great pieces behind. Still kicking myself.
Quartzite with fanning formation could be caused by barite
Hard to choose a fave but I will have to go with the rhyolite. They were all beautiful! I think it's time for me to get a saw. I have lots of rocks in buckets here too!
You'll have lots of fun with a saw! It's very addictive.
They are all great! Loved them all. My fav was the epidote. It literally looked like a map! Insanely beautiful! Epidote and unakite are my favs and I can’t wait to find some on Lake Superior!! Great video yet again! 👍🙃
Glad you enjoyed it! Unakite looks awesome slabbed and polished.
@@RockhoundingLife I have a lot of epidote in my tumbler right now. They all look so pretty! Tmrw they all go on the last and final stage! I can’t wait to see the outcome and if they turn out!
I was hoping you could tell me what camera you are using? Do you have a go pro or would a nice camera work? I’m debating on starting my own RUclips channel. But I don’t know if I can just use my phone. I also sent ya an email. Hopefully I’m not bothering you too much. Any and all advice is very appreciated! Thank you!
ADORO ESSES VÍDEOS ONDE VC CORTA AS PEDRAS, SÃO MTO LINDAS POR DENTRO
Thanks! The videos where we cut rocks seem to be a bit more popular than our other content.
Me too!
What kind of wet saw are you using? I just sold my old MK Diamond. LOVED it, BUT...it's time for something newer!
We currently use a hi-tech diamond 10" slab saw. Our affiliate link is in the description.
Those pieces from NL are quite different and have some very nice patterns inside. That saw does a pretty fine job of leaving a clean-cut (or is it the cutter?)! I came close to buying another brand of wet-saw last week, on sale, but it had some reviews that weren't great and the price was not much different than the Ridgid. So, for now, I will wait to find a deal on one of those!
I'm really happy with this saw. I only wish I had splurged and got the 10" instead of the 7". The blade is fantastic. Cuts a smooth edge and has lasted quite awhile.
I just started this hobby just trying to learn the best way to cut the rock to get the best results
It comes with practice but it is fun!
@@RockhoundingLife I am cutting lengthwise after watching your videos. Will keep watching
Oh so that what thisrock is, i have a piece of Chert that green and redish. I got it in a bag of river rocks from a dollar store. It has some really nice greens in it. I want to cut it open one day, I just don't own a lapidary nor do I know anyone that does.
Which saw do you prefer more the saw that you used in this video which they sell at Harbor Freight or the 10-in Trim Saw with Vice made by Hi-Tech?
Also which saw allows the deepest cut radius?
I prefer the Hitech diamind saw. It provides a deeper cut radius.
@@RockhoundingLife okay, and thank you for getting back to me!
thank you for showing us those gems! are you going to show them polished? great info and great video
I'm sure they will make there way into a polishing rocks video at some point. Sooo many rocks to polish!
What kind of saw are you using? I have some small Yellowstone River agates I'd like to cut, along with some cool flint and chert pieces, too.
I use a Rigid 7" wet tile saw. There are a few videos on our channel of us using it.
@@RockhoundingLife Thank you! I just came across you. I'll have to get caught up. :) A task I look forward to.
@@monteweldon7469 thanks for joining us! If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask!
Great video. I’m learning a lot from you. I collected some green stones last year from Cambria and Jade Cove, Big Sur. They are very nice and most of them are translucent. When I posted them in FB, I was told they were chert. I thought they were Jade. My question: are cherts translucent? Thanks in advance.
Hi there! I'm glad you are liking our channel. Chert is Opague, not transluscent. If you collected your stones from a place called Jade Cove and they are transluscent then chances are they are more likely jade than chert. Thanks for watching!!
@@RockhoundingLife thank you so much. More power to your channel. I recently discovered a local area yet with mystery rocks. I’d like to send you some. Do you have a P.O. Box or address? I’d like your opinion on them. If you make jewelry from your rocks, you are going to love these. Let me know.
@@maiguapa8 You can email some pics to rockhoundinglife@gmail.com and we can go from there.
I would like to tile a bathroom with cut stones.
That 4th or fifth rock looks like a chunk of spam ,lil,lol, must need to make dinner .
😆💯
I love chert too
💯🤙
Hey man beautiful rocks. Would a regular tile saw cut rock? Cheers
Yes, as long as you have a blade that is rated to cut granite.
Hi! I have a 7" wet tile saw. We use a diamond blade for cutting rocks. Works awesome! And there are videos on RUclips on how to sharpen your blades to make them last longer. 🙂
I was wondering what kinda saw do you use?
Hi Elizabeth, I uses a Rigid 7" top cut wet tile saw. Here is a video explaining how I use it.
👇
ruclips.net/video/K5F3KgI4EQI/видео.html
Have you ever thought of tiling a bathroom with these?
Yes i have. Then realized how much work it would be and how little time i have. Maybe one day though!
I like the chert. Got anything from Nova Scotia that's blue(ish), and hard enough to put in a ring? Not sure where you are exactly, but we're probably within an hour drive. Collaborate on a piece maybe?
I don't have anything bluish from Nova Scotia.....some slag that is dark blue. I'm actually getting into ring making now and a possible colab in the future is definitely doable.
@@RockhoundingLife well I just bought a tile saw last summer and cut 9 or 10 rocks but got discouraged because I didn't find something great my first time out. Lol 😂
I have a few vids here on YT under this name: DWDIDIT. The same name on IG and FB is where all my pics are. I'd be more than happy to help out if you have any questions in your jewelry quest. HMU any time. By the way, is the slag from NS?
guess? Oregon Opal
New subscriber here. Don’t suppose you’d want to part with a slab, polished both sides of your #2 fave, the green chirt, huh? 😢 We just don’t find this stuff in NJ. Only just starting my collection. Would so much rather find than buy.
Shoot me an email.
Address is in the description
manganese at 13:50? we have found that here in Idaho
I'm thinking so too. We have a lot of manganese inclusions with our silica here in NS.
Do you think you might be able to help me identify some rocks I acquired.. I was told they are from South America .
I can sure try!! You can email me. Our email address is in the description to this video.
Thank you.
Not really surprised about some of these, cut some meself a day ago. There are others though.....extraordinary on the outside....lame on the inside....
🤙💯
the rock at 6:45 is an elephant how could you not see that
I totally see it now!
