I see a cheap price. 11 so That can't be right

[@JulesUS8386]

That is beautiful. I have a nice slab in a tripod frame holder. I noticed your pendant sold or at least no longer on your site. Great work🙌

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

It's such a strange coincidence - I was talking to my (now teenage) daughter today about the first thing she ever gave me. When she had just learned to walk, I took her out into the backyard and let her go exploring. She found a small rock that I guess she must have though looked nice, and gave it to me. I still have it, and while I was talking to her about it today, I idly wondered if it could be made into a piece of jewelry or something. How strange that your video showed up in my feed today. I have never really watched this type of thing before, so I have no idea why it was in my feed to begin with. Anyway, I really enjoyed the video, so now you have a new subscriber :)

[@RockhoundingLife]

That is awesome! Almost makes you think people are listing to our conversations online. If so im glad they sent you our way!

[@mitchgillilan]

Looks more like orbicular rhyolite... never overlook parking lots! I've found a few huge agates in the landscape rock on many occasions.

[@lisafish1449]

There were tons of fossils in the driveway gravel at our old house

[@spernt]

I found emeralds and rubies in gravel near a parking lot.

[@mitchgillilan]

@@spernt I think you meant to say you found green and red rocks in a parking lot 😄

[@shern1966]

Me Too!

[@janetcastellano4141]

I love rocks they’re beautiful no matter what the type is . Thank you for sharing.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I totally agree! Thanks for watching!

[@telessiajones7041]

That turned out to be beautiful.

[@JulesTools23]

Ty for sharing! The first time we were leaving a Drs appt and hubby saw me looking 👀 out the window and said- are you looking at the rocks?! HAHA, yes! You and another take me along and have graciously shown me what can be found & achieved. Used to only look in certain areas, like beach & river beds. Not any longer ;) Also went straight to Etsy, but was sold. Congrats to the new owner, just mesmerizing gorgeousness 🌻

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! More stuff coming on Etsy in the next week or so!

[@Nikkisavage100]

Very nice stone ! great job

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@sandmaker]

Nice find😊 Good cut, policy and mount for the pendant. Thanks for sharing.

[@NickAcker2019]

I openly admit, since following your channel my eyes are always on the ground! Cool find. Rotten luck with the circle cab. Have a good weekend 😀

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks, you too!

[@jamiecurran3544]

Just becareful of lampposts then!🤣😂👍

[@karleenpage5979]

​@@RockhoundingLifeMaybe you could make earrings out of the two halves?

[@TermaMary]

Wonder if you could turn halves of circle into cool earrings, I love this stone.

[@bddollen7384]

- THE SCRAPS COULD BE MADE INTO TINY RAW STONE EARRINGS …

[@paulapaul4512]

That’s beautiful! Fascinating to see how you made it!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you very much!

[@robertderekfeazel22]

1st. Nice work. Turned out great. 2nd. I'm sure I speak for a few others when I say. Please take it easy on advertising the parking lot finds. Granted there is alot of rock out in the world. But only so much in town. Lol😂. It makes rock hounding a bit easier for the kids to find a quality stone at accessible distance, etc, teaching and all other benefits implied. Some people will use and abuse this to a point were no one will benefit from it. For my own personal collection. I still prefer to go out into the wild. This has made teaching my daughter aspects of it all, sooo much easier. She's still little. Thanks for your consideration and for your contributions to our world of rocks. 😁

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! I'm going tp have tp disagree with you on advertising the parking lot finds. There are more rocks in the city than anywhere else. There are literally hundreds of spots like the one i showed in this video. There are some people that cant get out to beaches and i like to give them other options for findimg beautiful rocks. Im against not sharing locations. Everyone deserves the chance to see and hunt for cool rocks. Some people dont have the means to find those places.

[@robertderekfeazel22]

@RockhoundingLife I digress. I had completely overlooked that aspect. Good lookin out. Still yet. Thanks for your consideration. 😁

[@soul_adventurist]

Never seen that before. It is gorgeous!

[@PronjaSirkova99]

OMG...It's so fun..."jewelry" - ha ha ha!

[@phild8095]

well shaped, well polished. nice setting I've been doing this with a flat lap for two years now and I'm not that good yet. But seeing these inspires me. Thank you for showing this.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for watching! I use to use the flat lap as well to do this. The grinding wheels make it much easier to polish

[@ikvangalen6101]

There’s beauty everywhere. You NAILED IT!!!!!

[@annedavis6090]

I love hunting in the selection of rocks at drive thrus and such...makes my little hounding heart sing

[@user-hm6bn6kw6k]

Good choice of cabochan "frame": gold color perfect with this red.

[@lynnepostings]

. . . Stunning !

[@saramcdowell4735]

WOW! It’s beautiful! Deserves a better setting though!!!

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

Very nice, my eyes are alway looking to the ground. I find all kinds of stuff.

[@RockhoundingLife]

You and me both!

[@junebrooks3401]

Very Bea find an wonderful piece to wear

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes indeed!

[@nononoisaidnope]

So gorgeous rough...but mesmerizing to watch the process man this made my night !😂

[@spetkovsek57]

I believe it's Birdseye Rhyolite, which is softer than Jasper. Nice parking lot find. Now every one of your subscribers will be walking around looking down. LOL

[@stateofdisorder1]

That’s exactly what I was thinking, including me 😂

[@lynnepostings]

. . And me !!! 😄

[@valethewolf49]

That's Beautiful!!!!

[@gingerd9860]

Really beautiful.well doneNan87👍👍👍👍🤗🇬🇧

Only excellent skills can bring the most beauty out of any stone - Great work!! I have my gr.ma's bracelet that has a similar stone that I cherish. Thx for sharing your talent with us!! God Bless You! 🤗🇺🇸

Beautiful! Very nice work! I’ve always been fascinated by rocks.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lilolmecj]

My daughter brought me a small rock from Ireland, because I love interesting rocks! They are an inexpensive way to bring home a small piece of any land.

[@tonimoraful]

Beautiful!

[@LadyJanice112549]

So Pretty!😊

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mbellramirez4833]

You're a great artist! Thank you so much for sharing. It looks stunning! The only negative is that you've got me suffering every time I saw you cutting the stone. Please be careful and wear some protection. This world needs your hands!!!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for the kind words! To ease your mind on me cutting my hands please watch this short....kzbin.infoqf8abF5eVbU?si=GNl7kIcLOLLeI5td

[@mbellramirez4833]

uff! what a relief! 😅 Thank you for explaining. @@RockhoundingLife

[@gailduvall]

Thank you! Such a relief to see the info on the blade!!😅😅

[@DreidMusicalX]

At first clicking on your video I thought it was Mary Ellen Jasper. Now, I am not sure. But its cool.

[@largent45]

That pendant was so awesome! That was a great find in your world landscaping rock! You have a great eye to be able to have spotted that rock 😁 n all the other her rocks! I would go through all the landscaping rock on the premises now! Gorgeous! I went straight over to Etsy after seeing the video and it's gone! Man it was gorgeous! Great job Jason!

[@NanaAmySpectreSeeker1111]

Wish we could share photos here, just got in from a mile or so beach walk looking for jasper and carnelian...found some interesting stuff for jewelry making in winter...when it's too cold to hunt.

[@Tactility]

Really beautiful cab, turned out awesome

Very nice

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!

[@bigfluffy2277]

Dragons!

[@user-ns2yb2cq6j]

Very neat! I’m no lapidary. Just a casual collector here. So of course I followed this shop on Etsy!

[@tierrabear10]

I hope you make some smaller pieces in the future. 😊

[@donnadees1971]

My aunt would find jasper rocks on beaches of WA state.

[@ecks_marks_the_spot]

Those red orbs look a little like hematite. I find a lot of them on the beach in a calcedony matrix. If you've ever seen botryoidal hematite, it forms little balls, often with a quartz center. The red color is a little muted so you are probably right & it is botryoidal red jasper in some sort of brecciated basalt. Cool find.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Interesting! I miss-identified the red orbs in the video. It isnt jasper but feldspar. Once it was polished it was clear it was feldspar. It was also very soft through the saw.

[@markharder3676]

When I first saw it, I thought it was alkaline granite because the red looked so much like feldspar. But without obvious quartz, it can't be granite. Mohs hardness of the red would tell feldspar vs. jasper.

[@lorrieborder]

Those look like mahogany obsidian.

[@vivianlidberg9031]

I like using my dremel for this

[@tracynickels164]

I'm a rock hound!

[@NatureZone101]

This is amazing! Wish I could do something like that because it seems SO COOL to be able to pick up rocks and make beautiful items. I actually thought the big slab would be the one to crack with that fissure running down it, but it was the little one. Going to check out your Etsy store later today! And subbed!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for the sub amd welcome! The etsy store was cleaned out after this video. Im in the process of restocking it. Should be new stuff up in a few days.

[@joane.landers9151]

Beautiful stones! Why don't you freeform your stones instead of cutting circles, unless of course you're using pre-made settings? Years ago most of the stones I cut- polished, I freeformed & set them into handcrafted sterling settings I created.

[@shelley2288]

It's beautiful. Now make one for your employer!

[@bddollen7384]

DID U KNOW THAT BRASS PULLS IN ALL THE ENERGIES EVERYWHERE FOR HEALTH, GROWTH, HEALING, STRENGTH, TRANSFERENCES, HAPPINESS, JOY, EVERYTHING..!!!

[@yazpis1achio]

They look like poppies! (says the non-rockhound)

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes I was thinking the same thing. A string of poppies

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

That's a really amazing rock. I found some similar stuff the other day, it was from a Supervolcano lake crater. We sliced some of it up too. Amazing to find it in the carpark.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Very cool!

[@mariemoss2475]

It surprising what you can find, my neighbour had some new stones put down on her garden. Looking closer it was a mixture of red and orange jasper and fossils... Mixed in with the normal stuff. My 4 year old granddaughter loves coming over for a hunt.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Rock gardens are great little hunting spots. I once found a partial fern fossil at a play ground in pea gravel?

[@xuber9319]

Could you list or do a video on all the tools required?

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes i can do that. For now, here is a quick list of what I use: 1. I make the slabs with my 10" Hi Teck Diamond slab saw. 2. I use a cab stencil to outline the cab on the slab. 3. I cut out the cab stencil.using my CabKing 6" trim saw. 4. I edge grind and surface grind on my 8" cabking until the cab is finished.

[@E.o.t.4637]

That turned out great and being a parking lot find even better! I just found your channel. Subbed😁

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks and welcome!

[@brandonbrinegar5316]

Nice stones are where you find them.

[@argrover4210]

I do the same thing with acorns... is that crazy! :)

[@kayakingirl7252]

I just got a notification for your channel and I'm so excited! My hubby now knows that if we go shopping, he may have to do it alone so I can check out the rocks 😂

[@RockhoundingLife]

Great idea!!

[@6Pringles]

😍🥰

[@maria311adams]

Pretty cool looking rock u know we always find rocks same as what u have from ARIZONA they are so Pretty there plenty of rocks that truly beautiful we always end up to come home with so much all different kind I put them outside by our door here in Minnesota and they end up disappearing ❤️ I have no idea we go have vacation in Arizona every winter time here in MINNESOTA we stayed there in Arizona for over 4 months we don't like winter the place we love to stay in Quartzsite Arizona we brought our Camper and side-by-side and motorcycle but we sold the motorcycle this year we bought a Vanderhall GTS CARMEL Black we goes to those high mountains from Arizona with our side-by-side so much rocks 🪨 everywhere

[@RockhoundingLife]

Love that!

[@rtoguidver3651]

It might be Jasper, an Indian favorite for arrowheads..

[@Karen-kc8om]

Beautiful find, pity about the round one braking ,perhaps you could make some earrings with the broken one to match, I collect crystals,love them, just subscribed to your channel as it’s lovely to watch you make things ,and learn about these beautiful stones that Mother Nature makes ,❤

[@RockhoundingLife]

Great idea! And welcome aboard!
