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.

@joane.landers9151 14 күн бұрын

@@toneenorman2135 No need to worry, tonee, the diamond blade won't hurt him or anyone who cuts stones. The rim of the is smooth all around, unlike a circular saw with its jagged points all around the blade. Many years ago when I was teaching lapidary and the use of the diamond saw, I would turn the unit ON, place my thumb on the turning/running blade the turn the unit OFF & show that my thumb was undamaged. Hope this puts your mind at ease.

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.

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.

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
