Hey Taylor i just got a hi-tech flat lap and i am having a problem not sure what to do. I use the 80 grit to get my slabs flat but when i go to next grit i have to reflaten the stone with that grit. It grinds in the center like the center is high. Is it something i am doing wrong?

I am a nurse and when i see the cut rocks, they always remind me of a body part. That blurry mozambique looks like an Xray of a kidney. LOL!

It continues to amaze me how some people can look at rocks and say *this* one will be beautiful inside.

I love it when the 2 halves have different patterns. It just shows you picked a really good spot to cut in order to get the maximum uniqueness out of it.

I love African agats. I bought some cut Geodes when in Morocco, they are so lovely. No Agats but one geode have grey sparkling, small tentacles inside and one is whitish/yellow and like sparkling glass-pieces inside, they are so beautiful. And I also bought some fossils. Nice to watch thank you.

another satisfying video, thanks A.D.!.. here's an idea for that Botswana with the pocket and fractures (so nice apart from that).. cut into smaller pieces and put in a rock tumbler? Not sure if you wanna get into all that, but I love perfectly smooth Botswana nuggets, even small ones..

Hi, AD! New, ignorant rockhound here! Really enjoying and binging on your channel. But l feel dumb as a stump. Took geology, have a ton of rock ID books, bowls of stones, but still can't figure out how to tell a good rock from a meh rock. Working on it. My uncle lived in Seattle,, had a saw, huge tumbler, a rock workroom, pails of stones everywhere. He and my aunt traveled everyplace. Brazil for amethysts, Australia for opals, crystals in Arkansas...once, they were hunting rubies in a low creek in Burma, looked up, and there were tribesmen watching, who did NOT want them there-despite permission. I live in an area rich in geodes and am trying to figure those out, too. Sorry to run on, but so glad l found your channel! 🌻
