Love the one with the red inclusion! It does scare me how close your fingers get to your saw blade!

[@lonewolf5896]

Its diamond wont cut you unless jammed in....not toothed.

[@gaylesimper9311]

Omg these are gorgeous!!!!!! All this yellow out here is like sandstone, just crumbles🫤

[@harrietlyall1991]

Gor-juss! The sunshine yellow is so vibrant and compelling, they’ll make real stand out pieces.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you!

[@roxannsejkora1691]

I like the pendant with the red and yellow in it. 💜

[@barbrice721]

The one looks like Google Earth landscape. Awesome.

[@dulciemidwinter1925]

It would be awesome if there was a similar blue stone. It would look like the sea and land.

[@mitchgillilan]

Great job! Those came out really spectacular!! The druzy actually makes it shine like the sun! 💛

just amazing

Hey I want you to know I was so inspired by your channel that I just made a 5 day trip to Cape Split! I fossicked four days in different spots (yes Scots Bay Beach was amazing!) and hiked the Cape Split trail with my dog. It was a 24 hour drive from my home in the middle of the states but totally worth it! Thank you so much for your great content. I am hoping you guys get a reprieve from the fires soon!!!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Holy cow!!! That is awesome!! I hope you found some nice rocks! Did you find your way to the beach from the cape split trail??

[@bhutjolokia6990]

Rock hounding in the garden, wish my rocks were ordinary like those😎😎 Awesome stones!!👍👍😁

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks 👍

[@largent45]

Those pendants turned out gorgeous! The quartz pockets just accented it perfectly! Too bad the others didn't make it. But those two are perfect! Thanks for sharing!

[@rebeccahenson5328]

Nice!

[@easterazali9237]

Absolutely gorgeous ! 🤩😍

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you!! 😊

[@cynergy4]

They turned out beautiful and I enjoyed watching the process!

[@phild8095]

Thanks for showing those. Nice job. I've been running a slant cabber for about 16 months now and have learned a lot from watching you and others. Thanks again for showing how a common rock can be turned into a thing of beauty.

[@lilyrose3145]

Very interesting .

[@RockhoundingLife]

Glad you think so!

[@yvonnepagan9912]

Amazing gems from just some rock on the ground! You certainly have a good eye for what works.

You make such beautiful things out of ugly rocks

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you!!!☺️

[@NickAcker2019]

It’s hard not to sound repetitive, but you’re content and workmanship is pretty awesome! Thank you for each week you give us! Great cabs sir 🌻 ☀️ Thinking of all Nova Scotians affected by the fires and huge shout out to the crews fighting them 🙏

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes well said. We got some much needed rain today and tomorrow!

[@justjulee9135]

Really beautiful color! They are so nice!

[@mary-kittybonkers2374]

Thanks for showing us your work. The cabochons look like the Sun and the more colourful one is like an alien planet. The ‘druzyness’ really enhance the beauty of the pieces. BTW, after watching one of your videos I decided to pay more attention to the small rocks in my garden, whilst I was feeding the birds yesterday I found a 1 x 1.5 inch pebble of rose quartz…I used to collect rocks and minerals, very cool. Thanks again.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Nice! If you take the time to look closely you never know what treasure you will find!

[@karenkinsman5643]

Very pretty!! ❤️🌻

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@timtaylor8406]

Lovely stones...I think if you could afford gold settings that would make them really beautiful....

[@RockhoundingLife]

I wish! Maybe Sterling Silver though....

[@Jebbyfur61]

A ring with that stone would also pop so pretty

I just found your channel and thoroughly enjoy it. I live in Florida, and we have very few rocks. I wish that I had your polishing wheel setup for knife sharpening. Wow.

My late grandfather took me to Quartzsite, Az camping when i was little and we found limonite cubes all over out there. They grow in the shape of dice. Your channel is intriguing. Ty

It's always a bummer to put that much work into a stone only to lose it due to no fault of your own. Glad you kept at it to come up with up with those stunning pieces from an ordinary rock. Thanks for sharing!

Good information,thanks😊

[@loudwhitenoise_]

look like jupiter

[@lisathomas1622]

Ooh my heart, The workmanship on that metal piece is ok, but it doesn’t do the stone justice

[@RockhoundingLife]

It's just limonite so i'm ok with using the antique looking bezel.

[@selfretired3025]

Sunspots ❤

[@amberlewis4541]

beautiful we use to call that stone a mud stone because of how brittle it is.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes it can be brittle

[@TheSkydancer28]

man I would love to just have a small slab of the rock as I dont wear jewelry but the color is amazing good job.

[@standubaj8989]

You amaze me how you still have your two thumbs still in tact,lol

[@RockhoundingLife]

Please watch this video: kzbin.infoqf8abF5eVbU?feature=share

[@vanessacee4154]

I’m just learning how to make cabs right now and wanted to say that watching your process has helped a lot! I have a couple question I’m hoping you might answer - when you draw your cab, the side with Sharpie ends up on the dap stick as the back of the piece...do you do this to ensure your base/back is flat? Wouldn’t using the marked side as the face of your cab make sure the colours & pattern you select are featured?

[@RockhoundingLife]

If I have an end slab where one side is flat and the other is rough then I am forced to put the stick on the flat side. If I have a slab with both sides flat then I will surface polish the side that has the best features so I can control the amount of grinding I do to get the best features to pop. Hope that helps!

[@vanessacee4154]

@@RockhoundingLife totally makes sense! Thanks 😃

[@tashacherry1480]

You could do the voids with a high quality epoxy resin but I like them without

[@RockhoundingLife]

Great idea!

[@SelectCircle]

I agree. Natural imperfections = character.

[@Ohiogrown11]

Nice work! What glue are you using?

[@conifercrow]

New subscriber, so forgive what's probably a stupid question: It looks like you're picking the bits with colorplay, etc., and stenciling the shape to capture that...but then rounding the opposite side of the slab? Is there a reason you do it that way? Aren't you missing out on what you thought was the best color/pattern? I'm confused. :D (note: I'm often confused, though, so it may just be me. :D)

[@RockhoundingLife]

First off...welcome aboard! Second....whichbside i start on depends on how thicknit is and the oattern i want to get. If i think pattern runs all the way through then ill start on either side. Sometimes i thinknit will stopnhalf way so i try to hit it from the other side rather than takebtgebchance of losing it on the other.

[@loril.mangold8160]

What kind of stone is that yellow stone?

[@FJBMAGAPatriotUSA1]

Should have placed them EVENLYin the bezel…😖

[@valerieparker8304]

Are you self taught or take a course? I watch and would love to do it but not sure if I could.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I am a hobbyist and self taught. I use KZbin quite a lot.

[@lynnquinn7244]

Very nice! Watching you cut them reminded me o cutting chrysocolla, which is one of my favourites for colour, but is often disappointing for crumbliness. I have started stabilizing it first and have had better results. How do you feel about using CA glue for that purpose?

[@RockhoundingLife]

I think CA works awesome! I use it all the time for multiple purposes.

[@lynnquinn7244]

@@RockhoundingLife Thanks!

[@KCoda1248]

Really nice. What kind of glue was that?

[@RockhoundingLife]

It was CA. Less messy and easier to apply.

[@KCoda1248]

I don’t know what CA stands for. I have E-6000.

[@OccamsSledgehammer]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@GaryCat899]

Would it be possible to tumble the pendants before setting the stone to get a good shine on them as well?

[@RockhoundingLife]

I could put them in the vibratory tumber but they would lose a bit of shape and not fit the bezel snuggly.

[@brucejohnson863]

One thing goes wrong your going to lose some of your hand mate I’ve seen it on site

what kind of "ordinary" rock is it?

"Limonite"

it is by no means "common" in our Italian gardens😀😀😀
