Large & Lovely: Slabbing BIG Rocks

[@SurfHI75]

MRM you certainly know how to pick beautiful rock examples. After cutting the stones each appears to be a real work of Art. Thank you...!!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you very much!

[@bonniedentici]

❤ I just want to say thank you Montana Rock mom. You are living my dream. Thank you again for bringing all these videos. I feel like I'm there with you. Please keep them coming thank you again. Bonnie

[@springyt75]

Wow! Beautiful slabs!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thanks for watching!

[@patriciamckean4186]

I really enjoy your videos, my favorite is the microscopic pictures. Coffee in hand and a super vid!!! Rock on 🤘

[@lindaleehulsey3167]

Of ALL your videos I REALLY 😍 the last DROGON 🐲PETRIFIED CUT. NOTHING LIKE YOUR CLOSE UPS ANYWHERE, because YOUR FINDS 👁👁👩‍🌾 🎨 in ROCKS always. 💋😘

[@MontanaRockMom]

😊 thank you. I should cut some more of my petrified wood finds.... they are quite stunning!

[@laurat5143]

Your slabs were gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventure with cuts of you amazing rocks. Thumbs-up 👍👍👍👍👍

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you very much!

[@Algoldprospecting]

That first one was amazing.

[@terrydoucette6037]

Fantastic rocks Mom

[@DeluxeCircuitAB763]

Hard candy. That cover photo is a “hometown honey”. One of those for every 75 trips? (you earned it ) An exceptional petrified and Jasper conglomerate. You know what you got there. You need to make a video 〜 your top 20 cuts. That might keep you busy til spring. 😎

[@greatnorthernviews3052]

I love slabbing rocks. You never know what you will see! Awesome ❤❤

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Outstanding!!!

[@cypressstones3046]

Beautiful selection, mother earth is amazing!!

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Beautiful! Fun! Thanks.

[@8621Charro]

SO happy that I get to see your beautiful rocks Kim! With my little 7" blade I can't cut BIG slabs, but I can get surprised by the beauty inside!! Keep 'em coming! Oh...the temperature here yesterday and today is in the low 70's, SUNNY, and no wind!!!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Oh goodness you are very lucky!

[@janiehand2954]

I am addicted to cutting rocks to see what is insisde. I love watching you find them, but I think I love seeing you cut the even more.These are so beautiful.

[@MontanaRockMom]

It is a strong addiction for sure.... but I'm ready for spring and some sunshine 🌞

[@gemstonejudy5900]

I really love your close up pictures !

[@sandmaker]

What a great pair, you and Drogon. All the pieces suprised me when cut. They are always more beaitiful than I could imagine. One of the pieces at about 11:34 looked like Drogons face at the top. As always, cut, cut, cut! Keep having fun. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒🐲

[@MontanaRockMom]

Just when I think I can predict what's inside...nature throws a curve ball and surprises me. The first one was like nothing I had ever seen before under the microscope- I would have never predicted all that was going on in that one...

[@sandmaker]

@@MontanaRockMom I do agree it was amazing.

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

I was busy watching the Outback Opal Hunters. We LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.

[@Angelogemstonesfossil.72]

Sangat indah sekali motif dari Batu alam ini sahabat ku

[@debralane7408]

I like the petrified wood, the best in the conglomerate

[@RockhoundingLife]

Great cuts Kim!! Hope all is well in Montana!!

[@bebofrazier5690]

Amazing & beautiful…! ❤️

[@bebofrazier5690]

All of those slabs would make a beautiful floor or countertops. They’re just gorgeous.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you Bebo. I agree!

[@jamesblondeau1029]

Okay i should have waited until the end for my comments. Wow the petrified wood and the agate and quarts wow. And the microscope pictures. So in awe of the colours you get to see in real life. Cameras just cant do justice to what our eyes see. Thanks Kim 😀

[@DougAnderson-tv1jd]

We have four seasons for a reason: to get our indoor work done. Your out doors Rock adventures are stunning. Love to see that you are multi faceted with indoor adventures (slab saw & microscope). Well rounded, production is very good. Sending links to other rock hounds to see how it is done right.

[@leannaerickson9745]

Beautiful, MRM! Thanks for sharing with us. Made my day.🪨

[@sylviastreet]

I love your enthusiasm!

[@SRLGemstone]

Magnificent pieces. Love all of them

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you!

[@Copper_Den]

All amazing slabs you have cut today. Thank you for sharing.

[@keithcunningham7925]

Wow I love your rock cutting video so much different colors and rocks thank you so much

[@user-pd2gu6li2n]

beautiful piano music in background.

[@grokeffer6226]

Beautiful!! That slab at 11:40 looks a lot like a dragon's face giving someone the side-eye look. 🐲

[@stevemace1725]

That's what I seen too.

[@michaelvandyke6715]

That 1st jasper will cab up great! Holy Moly that 3rd agate is killer cool ! WOW! That petwood HOLY MOLY! I cut a lot of jasper out here in Oregon, they always come out great .. My favorite material still has to be petwood! Your cutting orientation is spot on also . Thanks for sharing the video 👌

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thanks Michael. I'm excited to cut more petrified wood. I'll never stop being amazed at how it can look so much like live wood. The banding was crazy on that wood. I'm going to email you a close up photo and see if you know what species it is...

[@stephanierocks8503]

At 11:58, this slab makes me think of a dragon head! So cool!

[@jasondelgatty3583]

I love how excited you get when you see beautiful rocks.

[@veronica0406]

Beautiful pieces!

[@gator83261]

Very cool.

[@connifilteau2678]

Beautiful and amazing rocks....thanks for sharing

[@robertstanderford8438]

Gorgeous Agates!

[@kellym.9453]

Oh my goodness! Perfect video for eating breakfast for lunch! I kept thinking how neat it would be to collaborate with someone who made fine intricate wood carvings or furniture and augmented what was already just too SWEET, with inlays made from some of those gorgeous slabs... or maybe like a decorative window cover made of cast iron with swirly floral flourishes in the corners with one vine crossing all with ready-made spaces to showcase the rock and allow the sun to shine through it.... so wonderful to live my dream life vicariously through your bright eyes and enthusiasm so similar to what I've exclaimed so loudly in my head a few times over the years...🙏😊👍💘🐲💘🍀🏡🛣🌄😻

[@rockandfound]

Very cool stuff Rock mom

[@MontanaRockMom]

I need the snow to melt so I can find more ridiculously beautiful specimens

[@jimlancaster6120]

Drogon got his fill this morning! There are lots of great results with those pieces, another great show. Thank you, and keep rocking! ❤️👌👍👏

[@stevemace1725]

Excellent wood and one before MRM.

[@pattyhubbard3625]

WOW!

[@leslieprather2611]

Girl you are definitely Queen of the slabs, and drogon is the Rock meat Beast!!! I love watching you. You're passion is off-the-charts. You go girl

[@kellym.9453]

And I saw a little bear looking back you surprised to have been discovered, but friendly to the core🐻‍❄️ Also a woman's profile with her bright auburn hair blowing backwards 🙂

[@debbiewilson6806]

Nice to watch when my hunting withdrawals are hitting a fevered pitch. Love the wood pieces and of course, you always find the most fantastic rocks.

[@godschild6694]

You are a beautiful lady and I am delighted to find your channel. I love the colors and beauty of the rocks that our Lord has created.

[@tonyalynne5918]

Holy smokes! There all so gorgeous!!!

[@anniegironne8444]

Thank you Kim and Drogon. 🐲 Really like to see cuts of a few rocks you found. The view with the microscope is always magical.

[@brianwalker9185]

Drogon is happy...as am I. So, you're saying that snow, ice and cold isn't the best for hounding? Ha Nothing like trying to pull rocks out of frozen ground. Your stereoscope brings a whole new dimension to these rocks. The complexity and finite structure with the coloration... totally blown away. Must go hounding with you some day. Only fished in Montana, need to find rocks. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@wyodino6245]

Your cuts were perfect. I remember when you first got Drogon. Your cuts have gotten better and better. Isn't it funny how we begin to have that instinct on how and where and when we should dissect a rock. Fabulous fun! Thanks for the wonderful "get away" from cabin fever with the adventure in Slabbing BIG Rocks. You are the best, MRM. Rock on!

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* The second stone was so lovely ~ like Lace..~ You had a Fabulous Color day.. ~ The slab at 12:19 mark looks like IRIS agate with all the close bands in shimmering colors..

[@Ken_G.]

What a great morning show, I even got to hit like first. Great, great pieces. I couldn't believe that first agate was that beautiful and completely fracture free. Nice Stone!! They all were. And that conglomerate was just so fascinating with the different color areas and that demarcation line where it looks like the whole thing fractured, shifted and healed. So cool. And I just noticed how close you are to 10,000 subs. Nicely done Kim.

[@TonyWeesner-ok2pp]

Just love this your knowledge and the beautiful colors and patterns so nice thanks. chopper is cool too.

[@FindingPebbles]

The black with orange! Cheers from Canada.

[@Nikkisavage100]

So beautiful stones !

[@GaryFord-y3y]

Way cool!!!

[@janketza0206]

I was thinking about your hilarious cabin fever rockhounding video you did last year. Where you are checking out the parking lot rocks just to get a fix. So darn funny! Hope you are OK this year.

[@veronicamoore3777]

Your videos are mesmerizing! You are so blessed to have the talent you have, and the ability to have such a gratifying hobby! Thank you for sharing!❤

[@jamesblondeau1029]

The red agate that fractured and broke on you the first slab u showed looked like a cartoon dragons face breathing fire. You could call it the drogon stone. And the conglomerate was soo cool. Love it. Thank you so much for taking the time to make the video and letting us see some of the hidden beauty we normally dont see. Your awesome. Stay warm 😀👍

[@largent45]

What phenomenal cuts! Drogon must be really full after those huge slabs! But they were so pretty! I cant get over that conglomerate. It looked like a blood sample under a microscope. How amazing is that!?! i think that the conglomerate was my favorite slab but they were all just gorgeous! Thanks MRM!

[@robertnygard8310]

Excellent slabbing. You have a great eye with your stone selections. Keep on Rocking!

[@BrianKneen]

Beautiful ❤

[@deniseview4253]

Such beautiful cuts.

[@Reet64]

What fabulous specimens! I really enjoy those close up looks at the details! Thanks!

[@user-pd2gu6li2n]

thanks. I love the rocks under microscope.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thanks for watching and commenting

[@graemero5532]

Great cutting video MRM and you named it after me 🤣

[@MontanaRockMom]

Haha 💙

[@jerrythomasdildine8956]

I want a polished slab of each one! So beautiful! Thank you.

[@猛-f4l]

very very good I hope this stone!!!

[@MontanaRockMom]

I love that stone

[@ttoxott2227]

Those conglomerate slabs would make great cheese/charcuterie platters!

[@watuatohgems63]

Batu yang sangat indah Aku sungguh menyukai nya😍😍😍

[@coyotegreen2772]

Amazing!

[@nancyb1605]

I’m spending my Birthday Morning watching you feed Drogon those beautiful rocks! 😃. Do you enjoy making the slabs into jewelry? Love the micro pics and also the way you carefully study the rocks before you cut them.

[@MontanaRockMom]

I hope you had a wonderful birthday

[@hashemameli3666]

Dear Fellow. At the beginning of the video, the stone that Jasper had has a lot of gold. My job is gold mining and I enjoyed your interesting clip.

[@DeborahDuval-tx6up]

You really should make some art prints from your microscope slides! They are spectacular! As are the rocks!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you very much. I really enjoy looking at rocks under the microscope- it's so fun!

[@gregderksen1996]

Beautiful selection for Drogon today Kim! Interesting how that conglomerate came out. It looked like it was formed in 2 or 3 different layers. Do we get to see you polish these up too?😃. Here’s hoping that it gets warmer soon! Been right nasty up here in Calgary the last couple weeks too. 🥶

[@laurafolsom2048]

I’ve had a deep desire to go rock hounding since watching you, but also..too cold, too much snow..your channel is great❤❤❤❤

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thanks Laura. I'm praying for the snow to melt

[@houseof2]

HI when you cut into the agates do you ever find seams of gold in them?

[@maryseaman312]

Isn't it amazing that such beauty comes from a catastrophic flood?

[@donc5220]

Drogon be eating good.

[@HDshovelEd]

New here, your channel was on my suggestion tab, You have a really nice set up

[@MontanaRockMom]

Welcome my friend ❤️

[@tinadelaluz3197]

Great way to start the day, you are so inspiring! I am partial to the first rock you cut from New Mexico because it's my home state. I find the most amazing rocks, petrified wood, and fossil's here. Thanks for another wonderful video!!

ICONIC DROGGOON SLABBING 📹

[@priscillatamir8258]

Each rock has a story

[@jayburkhart1781]

the flower of the peach first whole slab looks like the roadrunner BEEP BEEP at the 10 min mark, that crazy lace looks like a Chinese dragon head

[@McShaganpronouncedShaegen]

I swear at first I thought there was a weird blueberry bagel on your thumbnail.

[@MontanaRockMom]

That agate is incredible. I still remember the exact place and moment I found it.

[@gccg3646]

👍👍

[@ikestoddard2458]

I hope you put up a slice of the third agate that so exceeded your expectations, for sale!

[@MontanaRockMom]

I love that one so much. It's in my kitchen right now where I have been staring at it!

[@leodapat9139]

Hi hillo maam 👂🐔❤️🌺🌹🙉🌞 watching from setio palanog garita San Enrique iloilo tnx ma'am.

[@ronaldhoppus9015]

You always find the most amazing rocks. How thick do you cut the slabs? Thanks for sharing

[@MontanaRockMom]

I like really thick cuts! Especially with dendritic agate. Makes it look more 3D when it's tumbled or polished. I turn my hand wheel about 6 or 7 times. I'll do a better job next time showing the thickness of my slabs. Thanks for bringing that up!

[@PatsySchindler]

These would be beautiful for mosaic counter top or better yet bathroom floor

[@darlabuchmeier8139]

All very beautiful. Do you ever find quartz with gold threaded through it? That agate looked very gold. Jasper?

[@MontanaRockMom]

Yes sometimes... sometimes when I tumble rocks the gold flakes really come out!

[@susanboggs1612]

Where did you get that crazy lace? Gorgeous!!!❤❤❤

[@MontanaRockMom]

www.jhkalmore.com/ I love this rock shop...best quality stuff!

[@bunk9991]

MRM did you buy the "flower of the peach" agate from JH Kalmore? I sure wish he would restock his inventory as he has the best prices and rock I have found. And from what I hear, Drogon loves the taste of his agates!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Yes. Just email him with what you want...tell him I sent you! He will put aside whatever you want when it comes in. I just got a bunch of purple passion laguna agate, they are beautiful

[@bunk9991]

@@MontanaRockMom Great! Thank you!

[@anthonywillis5249]

I have just discovered your channel. I live in the UK. After watching DROGON at work I am wondering if you sell any of these slabs? As I am completely in awe of the many variations in these patterns and love to collect them.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Sometimes I do put slabs up on Ebay... I am all out now. I tend to do a lot of my slabbing in the winter over here...

[@raundupuis3134]

Insert thesauruses here! Holy smokes!

[@RockMonger]

Someday I'll get a slab saw! Lol so awesome! Great video as always!

Hi 👋 👋 👋 👋 Kim that 8pound rock I think you need to go for the gold and slice it 1 more time I think its hiding something from you.
