I went on a hike* yesterday and found/picked up so many rocks! I always used to smash rocks with my father. We would pick the ugliest one and crack it in half to see if it had something inside and the majority of the time. It was either marbleized or quarts of some sort inside. Quite fascinating.

Thanks so much for this video Jason! I have 2 or rocks that look just like this, from the same place. I was drawn to the blue color and odd look and when I looked closer I saw some little agates, dark agates on a dark rock. I haven't got a saw yet to cut them, but I'm very curious to know if they are red inside, like yours are. You would never guess it by looking at them!

I am an old rock enthusiast, coming back to it now, as I have a new lease on life after a recent hospital excursion. I’m looking for any tips as a new lapidary hobbyist. I am in the process of purchasing a small trim saw as I do have some creative ideas and other rocks that I can find around my area. Is there decent and much cheaper way to make cabs other than to buy a very expensive cab machine? I already have a Tumbler And I will be purchasing a flex shaft, multitool as well. Just curious as to if this may be enough as a start for polishing, cutting and shaping. Any, and all help would greatly be appreciated friends. Thank you

@RockhoundingLife Ай бұрын

Hey there, Congrats on your recovery! It sounds like you have obtained the typical "starter kit" for a budding lapidary hobyist. It will take you linger to make cabs but it can be done with what you have. When you are ready to move to the next level i cam help you. Just reach out.

@Silasposton Ай бұрын

@@RockhoundingLife thank you so very much man! I was just watching your video about the new faceting machine, so I hope we can see soon some more footage of that because I was also contemplating one of those down the road. I’m excited once I get started here and can share some creations. I am a welder, so I obviously want to incorporate metal or sculptures in with some of these rock cutting projects that I have in mind. Love your videos and thank you for the reply!

@Silasposton Ай бұрын

@@RockhoundingLife Also, I do not mean to bug you, but just curious if it’s possible to put a small say 4 inch diamond wheel on the flex shaft tool, so that I can shape cabs a little easier than with the Dremel side of things.
