What's Inside? Cutting Some Top Shelf Yellowstone River Montana Agates, Jaspers, and Agatized Wood!

Very beautiful masyaAllloh

Favorite is Iris, jasper, agate & then the wood. All is beautiful!

Best video ever. So beautiful.

Lindas essas Ágata. parabéns meu amigo

Theo if you glue your rocks to a 2x2 or 2x4 you can safely clamp it in your saw. The person that told me about this trick uses wood glue. When he wants the rock off the wood he cuts it off leaving just a bit of wood then soaks it in a bucket of water and the wood glue will let loose of the rock.

I work on cell towers doing vegetation maintenance so I would visit 7 to 20 towers the day and I have only a 10in blade. So I picked up a 20 in drop saw that the d-ceased previous owner used for making spheres. I picked it up at first Creek rock shop in Washington, they still had all of this sphere making equipment also I just picked up the saw. I have probably 14 buckets full of agates exactly like the stuff you are finding. Brought to the Columbia River area 10,000 years ago in the Missoula floods. I can't wait to get it going. I also have a couple of buckets of uncut thundereggs for Richardson's Rock ranch Lucky strike Rock shop from Mitchell Oregon. Watching you're videos I'm pretty convinced on the 10,000 years ago Missoula flood theory. Love your videos hope to make it to your area sometime.

I only collect Big specimens, so when I see your larger pieces I think "Ooh I'd buy that!" Well I have all kinds of smaller specimens but whole raws & raw symbiotics, clusters, Chalcedonies, Geodes, Cathedrals, Free Forms etc. So the larger rocks half polished I'd buy or half polished free forms but not small slices. I do have polished spheres & towers, all kinds of crystal bowls of fat tumbles or Fairy Quartz wands, Spirit Quartz Wands but I love big Druze pieces & my big huge raw specimens. I have way more raw than polished specimens but I have a big raw red jasper Ammonite fossil. In middle of moving so although I've posted lot of photos of my collection on Instagram & Facebook it's always growing & as fast as my new ones come I'm wrapping them back up ready to move. I'll have to do a video 1 day.

lots of agates and good good success always friends

Very very nice, Theo

That last iris with description. My favorite

I follow you all the time

Love the iris agates! So stunning! 😊

I have been watching rock hounding videos for the last month. I have been looking for a hobby that isn't as expensive as jewelry making classes. I recently picked up some blue lace agate at a rock shop by the lb. Thank you for showing the cutting portion of rock hauls.

Iris agate is my favorite you are showing. Isn't the art nature makes the best?

I understand your struggle. I see your dilemma

my favorite was the iris agate with the triangular mountain. But the piece left from you grand finale had a pair of parrots talking to each other!🤣

Little trick epoxy them onto a 2x4 Ora Rick then clamp the brick that way you can cut whatever way you want and slab the whole stone

Dreams stones, amazing !!

I love slabbing videos! Thanks for sharing your excitement about rocks! It makes me sooo happy!

Hahahaha Theo I really stress about where to cut too!

Nice cuts. Beautiful agates! Good job!
Montana Mom is great too! Rock On!

Miss my home state but now live in World Recognized Geode Field (Cannon County) Tennessee

They are so beautiful

My jaw dropped when I saw that last one!! Spectacular! They were all terrific!

Do you think you could put lead strips around each piece of slab and create a mojasic , almost a stained glass window and hang it in a sunny window.. ???

Thanks, those were amazing.😊 Thumbs-up.

The whole time I was thinking about a cob house ... with each of these beauties making up my bedroom wall. What a treasure to wake up to. Stunning!!

How thick are you generally cutting slabs?

Oh definitely the crazy iris agate. Absolutely beautiful..the small green glow in center with rainbow around it..wow!

It kinda looks like some kind of creatures face there in the middle of the shot at the moment.

That crazy agate was my fav! Also the agaye you saved till this vid to cut!

Spank my eyeballs!

All beautiful!! Why do they call those rocks thundereggs?

Can we see an iris agate under a microscope sometime? Curious to see the micro crystalization. 😃

Sometimes I choose the ladder and and use a dremel just to clean it up

I had a rock that didn't have any cracks in it and I don't have a saw big enough. I only have a 7-in wet tile saw that rock has been sitting on my porch for 6 months and it had a little pattern showing on the two halves that I brought home. One half was bigger than the other half was a little smaller but I cracked an open because I was just getting mad of letting us sit. There is just in my mind that there was something there and I cracked it open. Got lucky as s*** got a nice clean break. Nothing really broke off other than a couple small flakes and it had the best pattern I ever found. I was so happy but I was pissed off the same time cuz it's been sitting on my porch

❤

Mind-blowing!!

Y fave is the red and green Jasper. Overwhelmingly gorgeous 😮

Beautious!

You and MRM have the best agates and cuts on yt.

Nice pieces ! The one dendrite piece has an area with a small full open peacock
