Cutting Lake Superior Rocks 2020
Рет қаралды 84,649
Күн бұрынIt’s about time I cut some of the rocks i picked up earlier this summer in Lake Superior. I slabbed five rocks: white quartz, unakite, banded iron formation, magnetite, and a rock that contained a bunch of tiny agates.
If you want to see where I found the last rock, it's at 5:28 in this video: • Muskallonge Lake State... (Thanks Jim K!)

Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It's the best price I have found. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.

My saw is not homemade. It's a very old Lortone ST-10. Lortone doesn't make them anymore, but there are a lot of slab saws still being made. I don't have experience with the other ones, so I can't give you advice on what to buy. Some people do make their own saws, but that's beyond my capabilities. I'd suggest searching the Rock Tumbling Hobby forums for some discussions about saws. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com

I like it too, it just doesn't have as bold of a pattern as the others. I just love how pure white it is.

Thank you for sharing! I'm always finding rocks here in Oregon and there are several I done know what they are called. I love the Quartzsite we have from Southern Oregon. Lots of Red Jasper, Aventurine & agates.

Oregon seems to have lots of fun rocks. You have a lot of obsidian there too.

Did you notice that I took way more photos of that one than any other? I thought it was awesome too.

Any way you slice it there all cool rocks !!! Even the white one. Someone commented one looked like meat and that was my first thought too. The last one looked like something you might observe under a microscope. Also reminded me of that white individually wrapped candy that had big spots of color in it. Thanks for the demonstration !

I like the white one too, even though there's not much pattern to it. It's just fun seeing a rock that's that white. I'm not sure which candy you're talking about.
