That's really cool! Thanks for sharing. I'm an earth science teacher from upstate New York and my wife is planning to go to The Gorge with some friends this coming fall to see Dave Matthews. I'm more into punk rock and cool rocks myself so I was looking for some other things to do while I'm out there

Nice! I find it easier to just fold the cord in half and insert the fold in the cord into the hole in the stone.

Great video. As I do some gold panning, I'm amazed at the agates and such that occasionally show up. My grandson and granddaughter are interested in the panning, but I'd like to introduce them to some of the other more colorful stones they can polish and develop on my machines. Is there an informational trail to eastern WA opals, agates, etc? The other Grandpa is in Cle Elum and they are over there often. Thanks, and be careful out there. Bruce

If you add a swivel to it to attach to the keychain. That would probably help it keep shape and not twist the wire.

@nicholasnewton6775 Covington trim saw 6" model. Works great for these 3" or smaller nodules. However I've cut a few bigger ones just had to roll the cut. I bought it in 2020 when they were about $650. Not sure what they're going for now but I got it new and it's been a trusty little saw.

Ive spent a lot of time on Red Top years ago. With the best finds being the cavity filled agates. That once polished look like opals, with a hollow center of cristals casting light back into the blue. Mistakingly people think they can find Ellensburg blue there. But there is only a very small chance of it. Being they got there from washing on the shore of an ancient lake. You can find it as a cemented layer of gravel that time has now mostly washed away. But it is very odvios once found.
