The Flame agates look more like Moss agates to me but they are beautiful. The Crazy Lace agates are gorgeous even if they aren't as colorful as some samples. I know our aesthetics lean in different directions but I think cabs would look beautiful with druzy pockets or small vugs. They remind me that these that these are ancient rocks, not manmade gems! Have a great 2021 and thanks for sharing!!
@MichiganRocks
@MichiganRocks 4 жыл бұрын
I like cabs with druzy vugs, although I have never made one. The problem with the vugs in these rocks is that they are not small. Most would go across the whole cab. I think they would be better if the vug could just be in the center of the cab, not on the edges.

Hello from a long-time Chicagoland lurker! Thanks for sharing your lovely videos-- they've been my little vicarious getaways while I've been bunkered down for this whole pandemic thing. Anyway-- there's enough tonality to the sound of the slabs clinking that you could probably create a wind chime of some sort, I bet. It'd probably be easy to scavenge an interesting 'base', too, like driftwood or burl. Maybe that's just my magpie brain going 'shiny music rocks dangling in sunshine YES', though, haha.

It had an area around the perimeter router out and filled with Petoskey Stone slabs and very small gravel (almost sand) filling in the area around them. Then the whole thing was epoxied. It was just a border a little over an inch wide around an otherwise wood table. It was tastefully done, in my opinion.

I have been debating about what to do about contacting the seller. The first time, he sent tumble size pieces, which isn't what I ordered. I had to pay shipping to return the rocks, but he did throw in five pounds of flame agate on top of the ten pounds of crazy lace that I ordered. I thought that was very fair of him to make up for his mistake plus the extra shipping I had to pay. I don't really want to ask for more. On the other hand, this seller has an eBay store that is not brand new and has 100% positive feedback. I don't feel like I got what I ordered and ended up buying more rocks from another source. I haven't rated the seller yet. I've been debating how to do that. I think I'll go with a neutral rating with an explanation.

I have a very old Lortone ST-10 slab saw. They're not made anymore. Highland Park makes a clone that they claim is and improved version. You might also be able to find one used like I did.
