I was hoping the saw you used would be linked in the description but I'm not seeing it. Could you let me know here in the comments?

[@DanielMillerlife]

Thanks for your video! Based on your experience could you tell what is the thinnest of labrodorite plate possible to retain shining? Is it possible to make 1-2 millimeters thin shining plates?

[@patriciabriggs6328]

this is the second video i have watched by you. i had to stop watching the first one [secrets to polishing rocks] because i could here nothing. much of this one is the same way [how to cut labradorite gemstone]. this is particularly a pity because i can tell you have so much to offer us . i am sure there must be something you can do about it. thankyou .

[@DanielMillerlife]

thank you for watching

[@chelsealindley6950]

Hello! For those of use without equipment, would you cut and polish labradorite to specific size for a price? What would you charge?

[@DanielMillerlife]

Chelsea, I am over burdened right now ... but there are ways to get cabs - check out Kingsley North, Google it there are many sellers that sell different cabs. I also have a facebook page "I Love Rocks Gemstones and Minerals" you can google that too. Keep on Rocking and hope in the future you can acquire the equipment you need.

[@ScottyHawkish]

Hey man love your videos! What are the blade you’re using on the flat lapidary? I’ve never seen them before.

[@DanielMillerlife]

[@DanielMillerlife]

[@Metaphysticles]

Where is the part where you said what to look out for…

[@DanielMillerlife]

Thank you for watching.

[@embovilili2343]

Thanks 😊

[@DanielMillerlife]

Your Welcome.

[@turkeyguy0]

What I've noticed about Labradorite is that you need the fractures running through the rock in order to bend and twist the light into the colors you see.

[@DanielMillerlife]

Yes very difficult to find and make cabs from. It can come and go in layers. Thank you for watching. And thank you for your comment. Have a Great Day.

[@turkeyguy0]

@@DanielMillerlife Someone who watches their comment section, I like that. In the comments section on your videos I see a lot of people talking about audio levels, if you want a little bit of help or some advice on how to fix your audio, let me know. Great videos, some really interesting stuff!

[@rockhoundcustomjewelry]

I'm 2 mins into this video and already wish everybody cared like this guy. He cares about the color flash an well it shows. Not everybody cares, when making mass amounts they just cut them an say fuck it. An then u get some with flash that can only be seem from weird angles or only half the 40mm tall cab has flash or worst of all half has flash 1 way an the other flash either not at all or at a weird angles

[@DanielMillerlife]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Keep on Rocking.

Hi Dan, is this Dan Miller from Pa. GPAA?

[@DanielMillerlife]

Thank you for watching. Nope I live here in Texas.

[@electrichellion5946]

I was told that the labradorite cells needed to be cut out individually. Looked to me you just cut straight through it.

[@DanielMillerlife]

The color comes and goes, that is what I was trying to get across in the video. What you see on the surface may disappear below or may come back. You never know.

[@sayanelson4781]

Hey Sifu Miller, this is your old student Saya! I’ve been trying to find a way to contact you to ask you some kung fu related questions, would you mind? :)

[@DanielMillerlife]

How are you and your family? I found you in Facebook and sent you a friend request. Then we can chat.

[@mysticalcrystallover1409]

Aww all that hard work for pretty much nothing! It is hit and miss with lab!

[@DanielMillerlife]

Yes sometimes things done turn out as good as you expect. I did get a couple of cabs out of that stone but not what I had hoped for. Thank you for watching. Keep on Rocking.

[@electrichellion5946]

Fifty grit to eight hundred grit? Say what? Why?

[@DanielMillerlife]

I just did not show the other grits to keep the video shorter but i went thru all grits in order. Sorry i did mot make that clear.

[@kurniawanpw]

its 50 dollar for rough, in here

[@DanielMillerlife]

At $50 you really need to know it is full of color at all levels. But you really don't know until you do some cutting. Thank you for Watching.

[@Parry635]

I was hoping to learn a little something from this video, not so much.

[@DanielMillerlife]

Thank you for watching.
