Piles of Plumes! Cutting Specimens of Yellowstone River Plume Agate & Plume Jasper

In this one, we FINALLY tackle the long awaited plume video! I had started this one during the summer, but realized my saw was too small to do them justice. Skip ahead months later and now we have a slab saw, so the time is now! Plume agates are phenomenally colored and patterned agates that are found throughout the world, but are very uncommon in Montana, though they CAN be found along the Yellowstone River if you know what to look for! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out very soon!

[@olslimpickins]

The love plume!! @5:18 is my favorite!!. I like the glue to board thing, might have to try someday, cant wait to get a better saw. Thanks for the fun!

[@sandmaker]

Cut, cut, cut, polish, polish, polish, jewelry, jewelry, jewelry. A beautiful group of rocks. They are beautiful. I'm partial to the jaspers. Thanks for sharing. And hi to Montana Rock Mom for the help. I agree the last one is spectacular.

[@anniegironne8444]

Love the green ones and the busy one you cut at Kim's shop. Snowed in here too, don't despair, spring will come soon 🇨🇦

[@jennachanthavisay6051]

I love how the green ones look like waves breaking on the sand!

[@largent45]

Those were gorgeous! So plumy! The gorgeous plumes overlapping each other. I cant pick a favorite. They were a,l so stunning. There isnt one thats better then another. Thanks for finally completing yotr plume video. It was worth the wait. Thanks for sharing Theo!

[@sharonrowland1196]

Hi Theo 👋 how's your Saturday going? I love your selection of Rocks and Stones bro👍❤️😃

[@justjulee9135]

Totally beautiful rocks! I loved them all! So glad you did this video!

[@406findings]

I just thought they were plum Jasper but now I know we have both 🧐

[@donnalantz7981]

All very beautiful. I love the last one you cut. So amazing.

[@kirsiselei8703]

All of them are beautiful💕

[@donc5220]

Worth the WAit!!!I liked crazy niceness

[@agatebeauties]

So much great information in one video and amazing stones of course!

[@gregderksen1996]

well it’s about time young man lol! been waiting on this for months😜. now i gotta wait for the snow to melt so I can cut mine. so many beautiful pieces but i gotta say that last cut was the best cut. Rock on Theo!✌🏻

[@judymarkel8029]

Oh wow they are all my favorites. I'd like to see one as a finished product

[@DebbyRaup-vt5rh]

So beautiful!!

[@gracekeesling4023]

I love, love, love this plume lesson!!!!! I had chocked up other channels who talk about “ plume agates” as being misinformed. Now I know plume agates & plume jasper are real😊 Thanks Theo ❤

[@canislupus5025]

that wedge shaped stone is insane Theo! So so pretty!

[@fenix02008]

Plume Jasper vs Agate ( Thx for the education ) Last one was best plume I really liked the one with the green along a side❣️ Keep on Rockin❣️

[@kevinunger433]

That two way heel @ 11:50 is beautiful.

[@Rocktwister]

congrates on new saw! Thanks for helping out #MontanaRockMom ! Great Slabs!

[@Muxoll-Rocks]

love the music at the end

[@lelandgoff8103]

Thanks for the Break down of Plumes and Dendrites. Never really knew how to classify them till now. Thanks.

[@8621Charro]

I love your enthusiasm!! And for the LIFE of me, I can't figure why everyone doesn't slab their rocks! I only have a 7" wet tile saw, but pretty much all I collect gets cut!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Been waiting for this!!! The plume agates are always fantastic when cut.

[@brendastajkowski502]

What wonderful treasures you have brought to life. Simply awesome.

[@krackenagate5606]

Thank you sooo much for this one brother major

[@Dealazer]

You see an angel in the first stone through light.

[@Romania_Rockhound]

I❤ love all of them

[@riecarocks]

Crazy niceness! Also, thanks to your video, I finally understood the difference between 'plume' and 'moss' :) Greetings from California - I'm sending some sunshine your way!

[@BrianKneen]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@cynergy4]

Thanks for explaining the difference Theo! It made me realize that some of the mystery stones in my jewelry are plume agate. Can't pick a fave this time!

[@markattardo]

Awesome stuff Theo!👍👍

[@jimellis936]

Awesome stones. I'd love to see you make some cabs with them.

[@michaelvandyke]

Plumes are a beauty in themselves, we find them in our area of Oregon too.... Great video buddy, awesome material...

[@greatnorthernviews3052]

I learned a lot about plume agate we have some around Lake Superior. Pretty stuff!

[@hardwarefixer6822]

thank you

[@Algoldprospecting]

Nice agates

[@morganwright6388]

California didn't get the memo either. Great video, Theo! I love the last one and the one you cut two faces on. Oh, and I have a plumy seam agate with a nice fortification that would knock your socks off!

[@bobs-rocks]

Love the moss on the second one, the 3 d effect and depth is so great. oh come on what are the cubes for? LOL

[@kevinunger433]

That was funny. I bet you’re wondering what these are, don’t worry about it. Lol. Nice one Theo

[@kevinunger433]

That first slab is moss agate. Nothing like a plume agate.

[@deegingerkid]

Okay, so first...your production is getting better all the time. Well done :) I think my favorite ones were the green ones and the gorgeous one you cut two faces on. Just jaw dropping. You're pushing me to take a nice long trip to Montana this summer to see what I can find. I'm in Oregon and there's plenty here that's gorgeous; including our own plume in East Oregon on the Idaho line. Saw the weather forecast too. The snow sucks, but it's been horribly dry the last couple years, so this is a blessing in disguise. Be well, looking forward to the next one!

[@GordonVincent]

Hi Theo, love the video as always, what glue are you using to glue them to the boards ? I constantly run into the same problem . Glad you got the big saw takes your videos to the next level. cheers Gordon

[@KN33248]

Anyone else want to chime in with what glue they use?

[@graemescott1140]

Same on the Fraser river the plumes and thunder eggs look jasper esk

[@ramblinrobs47]

I have found a lot of rocks almost exactly like those outside of the Dalles Oregon

[@reportedstolen3603]

When Theo cuts… I click 😅

[@LauraS_6886]

What glue did you use, to glue them to the board? We need to cut our Yellowstone finds. It’s been over a year since we went there! 😮

[@1catfishuntermiller753]

Hiya Theo, I love plume agates too, and I have one that is opalized and has color play, I stumbled upon this while tumbling stones in my rock tumblers. Who would have thought? Anyway awesome video and I love seeing all the ones you cut, they're amazing. I hope you and yours, have a awesome blessed day. Cya! 😺🐟 out!

[@bettyjobraford7419]

You demand that I love them? And I do, I really do.

[@kimdedominicis6893]

Nice cuts! Congratulations on your new saw! Can I ask what blade you use?

[@paulwells782]

I truly think you could do all cutting videos and gain followers

[@montanafreeman1895]

The belt buckle I wear had a stone on it but the prawns spread and the stone fell off.

[@loricrossnoe6855]

❤❤❤😍

[@MICHIGANROCKBOX]

Someone's getting into spheres...

[@patriciamckean4186]

Guess it's time for some cutting investigation. Let's see some beauties!!!! What type of glue do you use?

[@highlander5161]

Hi Theo, can you tell me what glue you use to glue your rocks to the board please? Thanks.

[@bethcorey6022]

Theo what type of rock is grey and unassuming on the outside but when it’s cracked open it’s pink ( not gemmy) just pink rock?

[@tiffanybknight4297]

What type of glue did you use to glue to wood? TIA🙏

[@jaynehorn151]

Where can an Aussie buy some agate slabs from you?

[@leuserstoneschannel]

👍👍🇲🇨👌

[@vickiebrown2236]

How can I purchase a turtle from you? You don't have any in your store.

[@victorcook8794]

One thing is apparent from this video: YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT PLUME IS!!!!! None, NONE OF THE MATERIAL YOU SHOWED IS PLUME!!! COME TO YOUR SENSES!!!!!!!!!!!

[@graemero5532]

Wow, very pretty stuff

[@cmort789]

Congratulations on the new saw Theo! 🤗 Beautiful rocks and epic education as always. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and joy 🤩
