GALAXY STONE cut open w/ BIG SAW!

This lapidary adventure is filled with agates and crystal vugs inside GALAXY STONE! We cut up a bunch of amygdaloidal basalt & rhyolite to see what these host rocks are hiding. Many of them show breathtaking details, shown at the end of the video in a macro slideshow, but one of them, completed a bucket list item, which was to find a beautiful agate inside host rock. We would NEVER have found this Lake Superior agate unless we cut it open. I had so much fun cutting open and slicing these chunks of galaxy stone with my lapidary saw, I hope you had fun too! Thanks for watching :)

Hi Taylor! Just wanted to say it's such a pleasure to have found your channel. Your passion and wonder shine through the videos, and you are such a genuine person. You're not trying to be a character, and that makes you stand out to me. Keep being yourself, and thank you for taking us on your rockhounding and lapidary adventures!

[@TITELBA]

👍, i like this ❤️

[@KS-jm9uo]

Yes! Well said!

[@Debbie4729]

That one,that one!!!!!! So gorgeous! Another thing to do to maximize your viewing pleasure is to look at these with a jeweler's loupe.I have some green stones like this,and looking at the dots with a loupe is on another level! So fun! Who knew it could be so amazing!

[@geosobservations9496]

Super stuff... I finally found some that isn't so darned crumbly... first time trying to cut this stuff was a nightmare for me 🤣 my first slab ended up looking like a cookie that was left to long in the milk 😁

[@GeodeCrackerCollector]

It’s 8:40am and now I want milk and cookies.. thanks George 😅 lol

Great results, Taylor. Your cuts are getting better and better. Man, your Galaxy stones are miles better than ours. Just beautiful even before you cut. TFS 💖🦅🦅

Dude, the one with the bucket list stone looks like a solar system. Aptly named Galaxy stone. Too cool.

[@AgateDad]

Exactly!!

[@kc195556]

I caught what you did there. Tatooine, parsecs, clicks, baby Yoda and then the finale ...all while working on Galaxy Stone. Your genuine excitement was so fun to witness. I like the same stone, but the slab cut with the more rounded orbs was my favorite.

[@AgateDad]

THANK YOU!! I love Star Wars 😂 glad you enjoyed!

[@KP-ev8by]

I have a rock that's really similar to the large gray one you didn't cut. Picked it up way out on the Keweenaw point. I was looking forward to seeing what was inside yours! Guess I'll have to wait. And subscribe. Sigh. lol

[@victoriabryer4710]

If you do a follow up of some of these polished cabs... that would be great. There are pieces there that I'd wear as chunky jewelry.

[@AgateDad]

I will show it when I do

I think I could watch you cut all day, its cool to see what's going on inside. The one from your Instagram short turned out so cool. Great work, thanks for sharing. Just wow

[@gailbhatti3386]

Awesome channel. what do you do with the rocks afterwards?

[@406findings]

I found one similar to your Galaxy stone the other day and all the agate pockets are green I may have to cut it open now.

[@AgateDad]

Do it!! Film it so I can see :)

[@406findings]

@@AgateDad it's to big for my saw unfortunately but I'll try and find a smaller one and see how it goes.

[@AgateDad]

Good luck!

[@GeodeCrackerCollector]

DUUUUUDE!!! That big one in the matrix is CRAZY!

[@TheLoonlady]

Sometimes all it takes is ONE sweet stone to make all the "duds" worthwhile....keep pickin' & cuttin'

[@andrearasmussen8865]

I want to make a resin table with all my collections but then I wouldn't be able to check them out very easily ... hard choice lol

[@patrickbeaton6697]

enjoyed the vid Taylor, crazy what can be found inside eh, makes me wanna go cut some haha. here on vancouver island, bc, canada, we have lots of that on the beaches, we also get it with just blue, red or green crystals, alouth not 100% it's considered the same, but it looks like it. lookin' forward ta the next adventure/vid 👊

[@AgateDad]

Next adventure vid is Friday!

[@kermann-bv8um]

I just started tumbling and have a saw as well but not sure which angle to cut I went side to side on my first but watching your way is helpful will do better in the future
