Grinding the HUSK off Agate Nodules | Exposing HIDDEN details! (Lapidary)
Рет қаралды 84,216
2 жыл бұрынJoin along for this fun lapidary video where we break out our flat lap lapidary machine and start grinding the husk off of six Lake Superior agate nodules to expose their hidden inner and amazing details! By grinding away the husk and exposing their inner works of art, we get to be the first ones EVER to see what in the world is going on inside these agate gem stones! Big thanks to Rockhound79 for sending these over to play with, I have many of my own we will be doing the same to in the future!

loved this video, I think this is the perfect balance between keeping the agates intact as much as possible and revealing some of the banding without cutting them and structurally changing them forever

I like the next to the last one. They are so shiny! I have used a tumbler or 3 since I became interested about 4 years ago.Stopped for a couple years and am now back at it. I am using some different approaches, trying to use the same consistency in each barrel. Staying away from ordinary granite.

The Monochromatics polish well, but don't reveal details like other agates do. In fact I'm fairly partial to them; painted and jelly. I like how the Jellys look like they have puddles in them; like a drop of water was frozen in time. The Blue is my favorite. I mean that agate is Pacific Blue. I wonder if it's going to turn "milky"? The specks on the mountain agate might be Native Copper. Put your flashlight on it at different angles. Really cool. I haven't been watching Agate vids lately because of Cabin Fever. I'm so ready for the thaw. I believe our Snowpack is going to make for a great start this year. Good job.

I wish i could post it on here. It was such a serendipitous find too and it is has a life-size eye on it. It is so cool; I call it my alien eyeball lol! I only have a rotary tool to polish, but I wish I had a lapidary set like yours, that thing is so awesome! Hopefully someday! What method are you going to use to finish polishing the rest of the stones?
