No rock or mineral is ever a waste. They're all beautiful in their own way. Wether we use them and cut and polish or if they're just sitting in my garden, or on my shelf.

That was awesome to watch!!! Being zero schooled in geology, I assume the straws you were talking about were the crystal looking lines? If so could they have become full fledged crystals in time? Nature is the most incredible thing ever. A nondescript rock on a beach turned into a beautiful piece in the hands of someone with the knowledge just amazes me. Thank you for sharing your passion!
@RockhoundingLife Жыл бұрын
The straws in tbis stone used to be the crystals of another mineral, likely a zeolite. Quartz replaced the zeolite mineral but took the shape of the zeolite crystal and left behind a more durable mineral. A similar process to how petrified wood is formed.

Don't be put off! Anyone can learn this skill! It's not even hard exactly, just...fiddly, lol! It helps to have lot of attention to detail, a steady hand, and of course, LOTS of patience! Of course, the equipment that you see here is a bit of a killer....but you can do the same thing with much cheaper equipment. It'll just take a lot longer, is all. Better equipment just speeds up the process and makes it easier. See if there's a local lapidary club that you can check out. The people there are often super stoked to talk about their hobby and give you advice on how to start. :D

We love to beachcomb for rocks along the N. Calif coast. What we have done with our "treasures" is put them in a narrow rectangular container with water, set them by a window, and enjoy the sun shining through. I really enjoyed seeing your creativity and eye for finding novel uses for the rock. This has got me thinking about uses for our "finds" Many thanks for sharing. I enjoy woodworking and making gifts for friends and relatives.

Awesome cab! That was a great find, a lot of ppl go looking for agates and are expecting to see banding and amazing colors. But they have skin like a potato. So even some of the really hit up beaches in places like around lake superior still have treasures left. Not to mention all the great other types of conglomerates, jasper, and granites. And fossils! Great job!! Enjoy watching your process. ~sass
