[@hubrigant]

That agatized wood is amazing! Thanks for the video.

[@spetkovsek57]

This is a good tutorial showing many different examples. Well done. Thanks for putting this together. I did a short video on directional material, which included Labradorite and Obsidian, however, there are many other materials that refract similarly. Have a nice weekend.

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: well said. I'll look up your videos.

[@spetkovsek57]

@@kellyharper367 Thank you. I wasn't trying to steal anyone away from Theo. I only mentioned it because he talked about Labradorite in his video.

So awesome again! Thank you! Love all the excellent information…❤️

[@evamarie5024]

Wow! Theo! If i did not live in an apartment building, i would have a she shed just to build my rock empire. I have a ton of rocks that i find, but i can't do much with them. So, i hold on to them in hopes that i can slab my rocks and make a rock salad of sorts. I thank you for the much needed education!

[@sharlenevowels4125]

Really like the Agatized Wood. Thanks for the demonstration.

[@nickonicifor5638]

You have talent and taste. Sometimes youtubers ruin stones.

[@jasondelgatty3583]

Great info on the water line agate cutting.

[@gibbymcintyre3023]

Theo,you have one of the most beautiful and amazing 😊shows and it's fun to watch Perfect!

[@MegDD3912]

This was really interesting & these look great 💚

[@ResortDog]

When I get a sweet small patterned slab, the next cut is usually thin for use as earrings in matching sets and then maybe more. Also start thru the best lapidary material to end with the "butt" having the matrix baking it, not included in every slab. keep 'em coming.

[@nancywilson9380]

Thank you for a very interesting and informative video!!

[@michelleagnew2864]

Awesome video! I’m learning and this was great to see😇❤️

Thank you Theo! I don’t have cutting equipment, however, if I was going to have a piece cut for me, I’ll have a better idea how I would like it done! Yes! Laboradorite is one of my favorite pieces!! I would be thrilled with that video. I’m sure it will be great!! 🪨🤘

[@empress6491]

Thank you for your time, amazing. I haven't started cutting rocks yet but I'm a meatcutter by trade and I do the same thing with a primal.

[@michaelbearss371]

Thanks for the video! Great rocks!

[@slwtgf]

18:32 18:33 this waterline agate has an incredible amount of banding , too many to count, and barely visible! It’s mind blowing neat that they’re almost more thin than fingerprints!

[@kevinunger433]

Very nice cuts

[@alloveradventures3347]

Love the video Theo, I saw a video about petrified heart stones and the slabs looked just like many of your agates. Medical Biology books might overlap lapidary books. Keep up the great work.

[@tott3457]

Theo, love your videos! Thank you for educating us!

[@beckieg8479]

That multiple zone jasper is amazing! ❤❤ Kinda reminded of jupiters surface, i was thinking could u make a solar system out rocks? Sorta? 😊

What kind of adhesive do you use to glue rocks to the boards?

[@helgavoorneveld1530]

How do I get a cheap rock saw

[@williamscoggin1509]

Cabal it down cutting any Rock depends on what you want to do with it and what experience you have built up along the way cutting. You must got some rocks and then you're on your own and that is the only way to know how to cut a rock.

[@kevinunger433]

The first waterline agate , looks like there might be some iris in the bottom.

[@RandFTPParker]

Why dont you make a giant dop stick

[@reneewilbur4340]

The rock looked liked there was writing in it, did it spell anything?

[@bettyjobraford7419]

I love agates.

[@jordanshierstone]

Very informative and useful! But please stop shoving the stone at the camera, its very hard to watch. Closeups are great! but a little less enthusiastically!

[@Mike-br8vb]

Thanks for the info! Amazing rocks.
