Just an FYI if before you dopp the stone you grind just the smallest amount on the very edge on the side that you dopp it will keep it from cracking and chipping while you cab it. and on another note to get an even height of bevel on the edge lye it flat side down then lye a marker on its side while turning the cab while touching the point of the marker it will leave a prefect line around your stone so you will know where to grind the stone down to.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for the tip!

[@johnrichardson3297]

Is that better for reducing material loss than reducing grit time at: Start to Finish; or finish to start?

[@Reet64]

About a million years ago there was a cartoon of a toothpick factory that made one toothpick out of an entire tree. I think you did a lot better with that excellent cab out of that one rock.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Haha thats awesome!

[@marvo10]

Clementine!

[@astridchisholm9758]

I remember that cartoon

[@danielrowsey7667]

I remember that

[@davidgarcia8537]

look forward to seeing that stone set. it's a beauty

[@brianholcomb940]

Very nice, too bad you lost so much of the rock! I can't wait to see it in the bezel! Thanks for sharing! Happy Father's day!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! You too!

[@Copper_Den]

Great Job on cutting out those pieces and getting that cabochon made. They don't all have to be big. It is nice to see different techniques that help me to become better at this craft. Keep up the good work!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks 👍

[@andrewwong3825]

Beautifully cut & polished 👍👍👍

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@largent45]

It turned out fabulous Jason! Wow! That beautiful plumy agate turned out to be an awesome cab! The plume is gorgeous! And you're right, and open back setting would look fabulous! Thanks for sharing Jason!

[@terrydoucette6037]

Excellent J,

[@Leafbinder]

Have you thought about cutting and polishing Opals? They have much more fire and play of color.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I have but opals are expensive!!

[@johnrichardson3297]

⁠​⁠I have a 2lb, 3.8 oz Olive Opal

[@NickAcker2019]

Congratulations Jason! I wish you best of luck with the Etsy store. 🎉 I have so much appreciation for the whole rockhounding/lapidary experience because of you and some of the other creators you’ve mentioned.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you so much!

[@shebatt]

As you were cutting it, it reminded me of a petrified fatty piece of beef. But on the same note, it was so cool looking I think you should do something with all the cut off pieces too.

[@mandicoleman7433]

That's beautiful 😍 ❤️

[@nancywilson9380]

Very informative video showing how to examine a rock with fractures to see if a cabochon is possible Thanks! I'm going to give more time to some rocks in my discard pile!

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* That turned out to be quite Unique. will be happy to see it with light shining thru it..

[@JDD-kw8ze]

I have always wondered and this would be an awesome example to do this with... Is to shape both sides and simply frame it in silver/gold/brass or copper. Like a lens or monocle you could hold to the light if you understand what I mean ;-) That would do its true beauty justice. Like your stuff ... Keep it coming 👍👍 😎

[@RockhoundingLife]

That's a great idea!

[@danaberger7809]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@GilbertoPeraltaLapidacao]

Show like amigo

[@geoffreykail9129]

Could you make a matching set of earrings with some of the smaller pieces? Maybe even a ring.

[@RockhoundingLife]

🤔

[@geosobservations9496]

Pretty stuff hidden all over NS... you worked it perfectly. 🥰

[@yeuxdal]

Yes! What a beaut.

[@andrewnegri4678]

Years ago I remember my dad using aluminium wire to scribe the lines on the stones

[@wallypaige8496]

Wally from Ontario Canada. Just got back from Scott Beach. It is truly amazing. Agates all over the place. Brought back a big 5 gallon buck of Agates. I wanted to keep going, but a rounder storm stop us. Any how, thank you for showing me this Awesome place. Thank you , Thank you , Thank you. NOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM. WISH I HAD YOUR EQUIPMENT. I will find someone in my area or in a school. I have to see, whats inside. I love everyone of them. Jeading to Murphys Cove, then to Cape Breton. Hope I find something amazing there. LOVE FROM ONTARIO CANADA. Your the best

[@RockhoundingLife]

Hey Wally glad you got to experience scots bay beach! We tumble most of our rocks from there but do cut the bigger ones

[@kevintewey1157]

Ambitious !

[@scottholliday9308]

I am a Rockhound and gold prospector, and have a few really nice pieces you would like. I think you could really make some great pendants with them. I live in Michigan and have found some really nice jasper as well. Great video my friend! I will send them to you for free. All i ask is, if you like them - please do a video on them and let me know what you think of them, and if possible make a small pendant for my granddaughter. I also just subscribed to your channel my friend. 👍

❤❤❤❤❤❤ VERY nice! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 I love rocks. They're so much fun.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Rock on!

[@sandmaker]

Beautiful job, and you have a few bits left over. You should wire wrap it. Keep having fun.😷⚒

[@RockhoundingLife]

Great idea!!

[@kbaxterpackwood]

That pink mottled stuff, after you did that one cut, would make pretty cabochons, not sure how stable it is though.

[@RockhoundingLife]

It was really soft

[@PatricesProjects]

It's beautiful. Nice work.

[@dabneegxavtxawj1957]

Good job from lao

[@falseteethrealtarotAllRocks]

Beautiful work Brother, Thank You… The open back was a great choice, They’ll be able to view the Beauty within… 🌞💐💘💝🦋🫶🦋💝💘💐🌞

[@keithcunningham7925]

That turned out amazing good frickin job

[@aqua1082]

That looks to be a portrait of a person/ chiefs head. Stone carving effigy

[@soul_adventurist]

Beautiful ❤

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@JnVrockhounding]

Nice cab bud. Interested to see what you get for it.

[@grantfahlman1815]

Nice shine on that finished piece Jason. As for fracturing, I don't think that's unique to or just the BoF pieces. I'm always amazed at how "damaged" raw pieces are; which unfortunately severely limits what a person can get out of them!

[@emailusgenericus4890]

Rare prosciutto chacedony

[@pretzel2272]

At first it looked like a slab of meat, but the end product is beautiful! ☺❤

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you 😋

[@1961ebutuoy]

Roo barb or red smoke.

[@jenniferfox301]

I think you made a silk purse from a sow's ear (UK saying) 🇬🇧

[@kimdedominicis6893]

Will you have any rough on your Etsy store?

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes
