IRIS AGATE SURPRISE!!! Slabbing a Huge Pile of Montana Moss Agates
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- In this one, we set upon a box of Montana Moss Agates given to us by our good friend Montana Rock Mom and feed them to our new saw! We got some beautiful results! Lots of banded pretties, some mossy goodness, and even a few incredibly vivid iris agate surprises! It was really a fantastic batch of goodness! Huge shoutouts to Kim for bringing that box of rocks over for us to play with! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out very soon!

Rocks must be so happy to arrive into your hands where they are appreciated!
OK, you've inspired me. Even though I am now living off the grid and my only source of power is my generator, I am totally making it a priority to get my rock saw up and running this summer. It is brand new, and I have had it for years but have never run it. My biggest problem has been finding out what coolant at an affordable price to use for running it. Cutting the rocks is like opening a treasure chest every single cut, and I can't wait to dive into my treasure trove of rocks collected over the years. Thank you for the inspiration.

Awesome Montana agates! Great cuts with spectacular showings...
Makes me wanna go to my shop and rifle through my agate pile....
Great video Theo....
Lovely agates....thanks Kim. Thanks Theo....enjoy your Florida hunts. Love the super nice inclusions one.
Kim did you a solid. I think she cherry picked them, so you would just have the best. Beautiful rocks and cuts and the new saw gets a workout. Have fun in Florida!
Lol....I literally scooped out my bin and filled a bucket as a bribe for Theo to bring me back cool fossils from Florida. 😉
@@MontanaRockMom clever lady!
Sunday coffee and watching slab cutting, perfect. :)
Holy Moly Iris Agate Sweet Rock Heaven! I believe the gods have answered your iris addiction and satisfied your craving for them momentarily. If you know agates, you know what a treasure you revealed in cutting that one, so rare to see the iris like that! Theo you have the best eye for knowing how to cut an agate and reveal the iris if it is there to be seen!
Holy Snockers, what a beautiful Irish band all Theo that is beautiful❤❤
Oh my goodness, I can't choose a favorite this time. They are so awesome, and so is Kim! Very much looking forward to seeing you in Florida!
Thanks for making my day better. Nature is so amazing!
😳😳🥰
Gorgeous!!!
My favorite was the last one. It was pretty perfect.
Thank you Montana Rock Mom!
✌️💜😃
That was a beautiful variety of agates! I can't wait to see you polish the iris agates! Great video!
Such amazing treasures. Thanks for sharing.
Suas agatas são lindas...gostei muito do vídeo.
At 6:12 was a beautiful stone!
That was so sweet of Kim (Montana Rock Mom) to bring those beautiful agates over! Love both your, and her videos! Stunning iris! Gorgeous! 😊
And this video, plus many others you have posted, are why I have put Montana on my bucket list for rock hounding. Thank you so much for all your amazing videos. Safe travels.
So many cool iris agate! And just pretty agates! That one with the vibrant color was amazing! So much fun! And the dark one was weird, but pretty! And that last one was just amazing! Really pretty! So many gorgeous rocks cut! Thanks Kim! And thanks Theo for actually filming this one! lol!
I’m becoming a fan of those incredible Montana Agates, those irises so enthralling.
We love your cutting videos, they can never come too soon. Thanks for all your awesome content. 👍✨👁️🌈🔎🪨
Thanks for another great video. I really enjoy the cutting video's. Hope your Florida trip goes well. Enjoy the sun!
I just had a thought seeing the beautiful iris that it would look stunning in a Kalidascope!!!
Theo the slab that you cut that was broken could you take those two pieces and make a pair of dropped earrings out of them like a teardrop style pierced earring with those bands of Iris would show those would be gorgeous absolutely gorgeous or make a little window hanger ride of it you get that rainbow Iris from the sun also❤
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Your videos lift rockhounding spirit. It's been a privilege to watch you and your channel grow.
I really wish we had those in NH!! Those slabs are gorgeous THEO, 6:15 was a jaw dropper! I liked the dark agate that had a lot going on, pretty! Thanks Theo this was fun, love slabbing videos!👍👍👍
The iris was oh wow eye popping. And as to the quarts being present along with the iris. Just conjecture but maybe its the refractive properties of the quarts mixed with the agate that causes the rainbow. Quarts does have some amazing properties on its own. And besides how can you go wrong with the pretty little cut crystals that are in quarts pockets and the beautiful cross sections of them and the agate are truly beauty to wonder over. Thanks for taking the time to do the video sir. 😀
Loved the last one too!
Omg that iris is gorgeous
I hope you read this because I have an idea of what to do with those slabs of iris agates. You could make suncatchers, agate stained glass pictures, and maybe wind chimes. Maybe a kaleidoscope. You are very talented keep showing us your art.
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I've made several over the years. I enjoy them still as they hang in my windows. So much color and beauty!
Iris agate👍👍👍
Whoa they are all my favorite. Have fun in Florida
Gorgeous slabs.
Have a great trip!
very cool Theo
The third one you showed at the beginning was really cool
Hope you’re enjoying the Florida sunshine Theo! Man that iris is amazing stuff. I really gotta cut into the ones i got last summer now…
❤❤❤
Oh wow I'm early!
Nice. This video makes me excited and sad at the same time. Excited to cut so many that I have and sad I I don’t have a nice auto feed slab saw to cut even and thin slabs. I will have to wait.
very" beautifule
So, for those super-thin iris slabs, how do you typically polish them? One-by-one by hand on the flat-lap? Or do you trust 'em in the vibratory and/or rotaries?
I miss Montana rock mom
Awe...❤️😍❤️
Theo, this might sound crazy but with the rock at 9:40, would casting it in clear resin and then cutting it keep it from falling apart? I know absolutely nothing about cutting rocks but was trying to think of a way to stabilize it while you cut it.
LOL ~ Find someone who can read Asian Languages & ask them if the Slab at the 8:20 mark says anything.. It really does look like Character writing in it.. BEAUTIFUL Slabs. Thanks Kim! Those are Lovely..
We keep hearing you say "that will look great when it's polished", but when are we going to see them polished????
Epoxy on a light box an sell the box at craft show
Damn that last agate with the polka dots is so pretty. You guys have some amazing agates over there, truely breathtaking. 🥲❤️
Hopefully you use some of the rocks 🪨 for your rings 💍 that your doing.
