The term, "Ordinary Rock" is an oxymoron. Every stone has a story to tell and has its own beauty. Your excellent video illustrates this beautifully.

@@nunyabisnass1141 its quite a short story.... one day in a brick works, a brick came fresh out of the kiln and was sent off to be part of a house. The house was built probably quite close to a river estuary, then at some time later the house was demolished and one of the bricks ended up at the waters edge. Quite possibly it was a house that was destroyed in world war two, the rubble carried away and dumped on a beach,. over time with the tide, it will have eroded away and moved about, possibly miles from where it began. then one day, it was picked up, polished and shaped into a stunning pendant.....

Limb Casts are created when agate is deposited in cavities formed by tree branches covered by volcanic ash. The wood burns away after being covered by the hot ash. Under the right conditions agate fills the empty space. The result is a piece of agate that has the form of a tree limb, hence the name limb Cast. For everyone who has no idea why he's calling a stone 'conifer', which is a pine tree, and wth does 'limb cast' even mean. Ah. FINALLY, at the end of the video, he mentions the red material is jasper. instead of calling it a pine tree.

Thank you. I find so many that look like pet wood but aren't. I didn't know. And living in the deep south, with an area that has several paper mills, that were lumber company land a century ago, I find a lot of them. But would a limb cast have rings, like a limb would?

Great job on the beach rock. I also love to find ordinary stones and polish them. I started out tumbling then joined a rock club and learned the slab to cab process. When Covid hit I ended up purchasing the Hi-Tech slant lap and am in the process of improving my cabbing skills at home. I do some wire wrapping of my stones or others that I buy and enjoy the process. Nice to see a fellow Canadian here doing this work.

This rock turned into a beautiful stone in the hands of a master gem cutter! This video reminds me of my friend, Jim Livesay, and his sweet wife, Jackie, who cut buckets of gemstones for me many years ago in Franklin, North Carolina. Though Jim and Jackie are probably gone now, I still cherish the beautiful work Jim did for me and I laugh when I recall the summer of the Perfect Garnet Hunt! RIP dear friends! I hope that if Heaven needs some of their gemstones replaced, they'll rely on the world's best cutter to do it! The Garnet Lovin' Gal

HI Carole and welcome! I get that a lot about the fingers. In fact i have been meaning to make a video about it. This particular blade is a sintered lapidary diamond blade. It grinds and does not slice. I can place my finger on the blade and it won't cut because of the low surface tension of my finger.

I'm a silversmith the last 7years, but I'm mad about geology n gems too and started to dabble in cuttin and polishing stones myself.. I live in Ireland, and we get something similar on our beaches here, but I think ours is a sandstone and yours is an agate is it? Not familiar with the name of the rock you said at the start. Sorry I'm kinda green when it comes to what's what but long as I'm being creative then I'm winning. Awesome video, really enjoyed it. You got my subscription too Bud 👍🏼

@RockhoundingLife Жыл бұрын

Hi Ken and welcome to our channel! This rock is actually a limb cast of a conifer tree from the Jurassic period (206MYA). It is indeed made of Agate and red jasper and takes a super fine polish. Sandstone is a softer stone but will take somewhat of a polish if the clay content is low. I wish i had silver smithing skills to make my own bezels!

I love red jasper stones. They are plentiful on my Oregon rocky beaches along with many other colors. I even named my little dog Jasper ! It has always amazed me how a specially designed diamond lapidary blade will only cut hard materials such as stone and glass and not human flesh or any soft materials. 😄

The red actually looks like red Jasper (on my laptop anyway). I've made ALOT of stone pendants, but I drill them rather than mount them, as you then are ''carving-by-grinding'' what amounts to small 3D sculptures, which feel really lovely in the hand. Have used alot of Serpentine from Cornwall (U.K...) which can have the most amazing colours and patterns . Try looking down by the waves...see the colours easier....wet! Good job!

@sharonholdren7588 6 ай бұрын

The way you cut "thin sections" is to glue a chunk of rock to a clear acrylic sleeve (just like used under a microscope) and shave it down, layer after layer until it is so thin that light can be tranmitted through it. Since most rock will in some way contain microscopic single celled organisms or plant particles a researcher can study and photograph them visually.
