Slicing BIG SEAM AGATES and PETRIFIED WOOD on the Big Saw | Cutting Rocks #6

[@ADebsLife]

Hello all of you, thank you for sharing your adventures and treasures with us! So many beautiful gems!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Those are so beautiful. Polish a face and who wouldn't want that as a gift. Most of us can't slab and polish rocks. I had to part with my lapidary equipment when my health got bad so I really appreciate the beauty of a well worked rock. Life is better 'on the rocks'.

[@CarolynMcPherson-r3z]

How wonderful! One surprise after another!

[@MichiganRocks]

That last seam agate is just awesome. That's better than any rock I've ever found.

[@RockhoundingLife]

These seam agates along the Bay of Fundy come in a variety of patterns and colors. Some spots are harder to get to than others. This one was found in a spot where the tide can be dangerous if you don't time it right.

[@MichiganRocks]

@@RockhoundingLife I'm glad I don't have to worry about tides. Are these a different variety than the ones you found in the river with your friend? Those looked really cool, but I don't remember the white in them. The contrast between the red and white really makes these great.

[@RockhoundingLife]

@@MichiganRocks The flame seam agates I was finding in the river are in a younger basalt unit about 50kms away from the spot these cherry plume seam agates were found. This cherry plume seam agate was found in the cliff face along the Bay of Fundy shoreline. The Nova Scotia side of the Bay of Fundy is rich in basalt. There are 7 different basalt flows in the region spanning about 400km of shoreline. This results in a huge variety of agates and seam agates that you can find from these basalt as well as Zeolites and other minerals.

[@MichiganRocks]

@@RockhoundingLife I remember you showing the geological map of your area. It's cool that there is so much variety that is right from that general area. A lot of the variety here is from glaciers moving rocks in. Different, but still good.

[@spiritwynd]

Yay! You made it to 1000!! Congratulations Boys! From a fellow rockhounder in Ontario

[@CarolynMcPherson-r3z]

I imagine so many beautiful pendants out of these.

[@linabaliashvili2495]

Incredible collection!!! I love all of them!!! But most I like, it’s two little agates siting close to you,helping washing the rocks.... I am sending very very warm hugs to them from Portland Oregon! Thank you for shearing!!!

[@RockhoundingLife]

🙏🙌🔥

[@judyherman5470]

I'm glad you saved that plume seam agate til last, it was the cherry on top! Gorgeous!

[@RockhoundingLife]

[@wmarian5027]

I really really appreciate hearing your thought process for where you decide to cut, and seeing what the rough looked like as you decide the angle. Sometimes I get stuck there, at the point of cutting, which direction to go

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes it can be a struggle trying to determine the best way to cut something. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut and hope for the best! Thanks for watching!

[@mitchgillilan]

Wow!!! Unbelievable how beautiful they all turned out. The black agate and the jasper colors in the cycad trees is so awesome, and the seam agates all turned out stunning! Love the last 2 agates so much. I cant wait for the next ones you cut! Im sure you have some more favorites up next.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! We've got a lineup of rocks waiting to get cut so there will definitely be more coming in the coming weeks and months!!

[@GravelBarHopper]

Every single peice was absolutely amazing!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks man!

[@donnalantz7981]

Absolutely stunning rocks.

[@RockhoundingLife]

🙏🙌

[@robertmandigo7942]

I really like the petrified cycad but the fire agate is even more beautiful then the cherry plume seam agate is absolutely awesome and it's my favorite. Keep up the great videos I enjoy watching them.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! Its hard to top that cherry plume!!

[@vondabarela8994]

Really enjoyed this! Thank you. My favorite was the one that had what looked like iridescent fire in it. Second favs are the cherry bloom pie looking pieces.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for watching!!🍒🔥🙌

[@claudine1220]

I'm a huge fan of Ghibli films, no wonder I saw No face from Spirited Away appear in the beautiful chunk of wood. So cool how these rocks surprise you :) I really look forward to more cutting results!

[@RockhoundingLife]

So cool!! Thanks!

[@gingermackeen5741]

Great video with help from the boys! Loved that last se agate, but the fractured one was awesome too! Looks like you're going to hit 1K! 🌞

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! 🤞🤞

[@justjulee9135]

The cherry plume seam agate is phenomenal!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you so much!

[@tashacano3324]

That cherry plume agate was spectacular!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks! It really is a pretty rock.

[@jagers4xford471]

Virginia white tail.. love it. The cherry plume seam agate is absolutely spectacular. Just goes to show, there are still great finds to be had. Really nice eh?

[@RockhoundingLife]

I usually find one nice shelf quality seam agate per year. This year I found three!!

[@willbertot82]

The Cherry Plume makes me want some pie. All the cuts were sweet. Great video guys.

[@RockhoundingLife]

It looks good enough to eat doesn't it!

[@hilario6960]

That last seam agate is unbelievable ! Great work guys !

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! 🙏

[@donnabarke9650]

Words escape me on Gods creations, they’re just beautiful 😍

[@deniseview4253]

Nice shots of deer. Love rockhounding here in Michigan. Lovely pieces.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! Michigan has some really cool rocks! Love the puddingstone!!

[@CityRockhounding]

Love the 16in saw, that works great. Great cuts, amazing pieces. These turned out great, love all the agates!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks a bunch!

[@donnaarmenia2062]

The cutting is beautiful, it is great to have this to do with your boys. I look at some and think how they would look if cut sliced and made in to a pendent.. keep up the work i enjoy watching, i am getting too old to do myself. God bless you and yours and keep youall healthy

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! I probably wouldn't be doing this as much without them! Happy New year!!

[@pamelabrown3020]

I never mind a few fractures because they tell more of the story of where the rock has been. (Or maybe the agates I find in the Yellowstone River have just been beaten up for millennia, so I’m prejudiced. ) Thanks, guys, nice video.

[@RockhoundingLife]

With agates I like the banded parts shiny and the rest/host rock a little rough. I like the jasper to be rounded smooth and shiny. Thanks for watching!!!

[@jackandpiper]

Wow! That cherry plume!😍

[@RockhoundingLife]

🍒🔥😀

[@mittenstatelapidary6364]

Great video. My two favorite pieces are the two branch petrified wood, and the fire agate. Both of them are absolutely beautiful.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!! The flame agate was a bit fractured but I agree with you it is still beautiful because of the color and patterns it shows. Thanks again fir watching!

[@carinanderson8239]

Awesome video, guys! My favorites are the flame agate and the cherry plume seam agate. I have never seen that before. Its spectacular. You’re also getting very creative with the filming, nice to see, and the deer were a special treat. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful stones and beautiful to see a great Dad inspiring a passion in his kids. As someone who didnt have a good Dad like u, good work. These moments will enrich their lives. And as a newbie rockhounder from OR, who began going out to the beach for agates daily a few months back when I realized how awesome my new home state is for this hobby, I really loved this video and how thoroughly you explained for ppl like me just learning. I'm hoping to get a saw in a couple months. LOVED the fire agate, WOW!!😍Happy to have discovered your channel. Subbed! Happy holidays.

[@RockhoundingLife]

[@RockhoundingLife]

Its my pleasure to show these rocks from our area! Petrified wood is more common than you think. There may be some locations that have it close to you.

[@cynthialeaman3114]

[@aforgottennativeamerica8439]

On the big piece where the Agate runs out of the side, would it be easier and less of a risk if grind that side flat with the blade instead of cut it?

You find some beautiful rocks and I enjoy your videos a lot. Hope the kids are into it also. Something that would be fun to do with Dad.

[@RockhoundingLife]

My two oldest boys are into it hard-core. My youngest boy has other hobbies & interests right now that keep him from coming with us all the time. But he's still young and has time to come around!

[@Ontario_Rockhound]

It would be interesting if you could cut a piece of cherry plume agate horizontally along the white agate just in the area where it meets the red plumes I think it would create some amazing looking pokadot agate.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Hmm.....I've never thought of that. If I ever get more pieces (hopefully next year) then I may try that!

@@RockhoundingLifeeven though it's fractured a little backlight and it just pops... in a Camera looks even better... I remember finding quartz seamed stone when I was a kid with the orange in it... among others with banding... but never had the opportunity to cut into it... or take it home... and there is nothing like it when you finally get to...
