Beautiful Surprises! Cutting a Pile of Montana Agate, Petrified Wood, and Jaspers!

In this one, we grab a random pile of Agates, jaspers, and petrified wood and cut them open to find out what's inside! We got some amazing results, including fortification banding in jasper, scenic dendrites and iris banding, and one absolutely phenomenal chunk of agatized wood! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out soon!

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Yeah! Rock cutting videos! My favorite!!!❤🎉

[@fireflyidaho1]

That darker brecciated jasper was CRAZY awesome! It reminded me of a Bev Doolittle painting. Love it ❤️

[@tashacano3324]

Wow that black & red jasper was insane! I'd leave it as a specimen.

[@largent45]

Well those random rocks were fun! I have to say that piece of petrified wood that was your favorite, was definitely mine too. Man, that was so stunning, and although there wasn't much wood grain left, those little slivers of wood stuffs in there just made it truly stunning! And that pale agate looked to have some faint iris potential all over that one slab! It was pretty cool! So thanks for a wonderful cutting video! It was, as always, a blast! Keep cleaning and you may find that missing stone yet! ❤

[@mountainfamilymineralsandr182]

Thanks for the cutting video, lots of rain out here in Oregon right now. Glad you're feeling better today and hope your recovery is quick. Next time you make it over to Oregon hit me up. We have an insane amount of public land massive deposits of petrified wood and agate. Thanks for the uploads and keep on rocking!

[@Panicagq2]

Yeah, us Oregonian rock hounds have it pretty good too - I love hunting the Clackamas and its forks upstream after the spring runoff. Jasper, agate and petrified wood everywhere!

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

The slab at the 14.21 mark is great for shaping Minnesota.. Love the close to Iris pieces.. keep on sharing you treasures..

[@keithcunningham7925]

Amazing that was a good cutting session that agatized wood was my favorite

[@kirsiselei8703]

That pet wood with yellowish stripes was awesome❤(though all of the stones looked so amazing tool

[@anonanon938]

It's always an amazing adventure! Thanks!

[@775Rockhounding]

CLAIM Montana agate slices! 😂always enjoy your finds Theo! Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelvandyke6715]

Beautiful material and awesome cuts.. Expecially the petwood... Thanks for sharing buddy...

[@kaylancraig7485]

I'm watching you making slabs and I thought it would look so cool to put holes in them and make wind chimes. You could also make night lights. Thanks for showing some great stones I'm jealous you always have great stones.

[@jennifershipp2599]

I like them all . Each tock is a mystery. Thank you 😊

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

Beautiful, beautiful 😍

[@letitiagosman1925]

I liked the one that had a shape of a bird in center looked falcon or a hawk. I really enjoy watching.

[@laurat5143]

❤😮 i love them all. The wood that had green in the grain was beautiful. I put first place is your waterline picture stone. Thank you for sharing.

[@Timothious_Maximus]

That piece of wood is next level material. would love to see some dice made out of your local petrified wood

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

Beautiful, 😎 cool. ✂️ ✂️

[@darkcrystalmagik3369]

This one was tough to decide! Liked that white chalcedony knot in that dark pet wood, but My #2 runner up, was that grayish mystery jasper/ fortification chert (I found a similar rock on the beach in Oregon, that Now I really cant wait to cut!🤞that mine is even half as cool as that beauty!). The zebra agatized wood, Theo's fav, is my #3. Finally, the plain dark jasper outside, inside lovely agate banding & chalcedony pockets & brightu spotted orange/ white/ brown is my #1!🤩 😍 🥰 💙💚

[@patriciamckean4186]

So jealous iris...so hopeful I find some with my next agate cutting. Thanks for sharing. If I find some iris I will polish a cabachon.

[@laurafolsom2048]

So beautiful ❤

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

Nice...yes ✂️ ✂️ ✂️

[@anniegironne8444]

Like the last agate and the jasper. Take care, there are some pretty nasty virusus going around.

[@sandmaker]

Cut, cut, cut. What could be better! Lots of beautiful slabs. Thanks for sharing. Try to have some fun!

[@sherrybriggs5459]

All are beautiful

[@kastah]

Loved that first Jasper-piece, also the one at 9.57, And that black one with yellow stripes, special, and that is one of the most interesting pieces of petrifyed wood I have seen

[@Mike-br8vb]

Stellar slabs! I love your videos!

[@Mrjoshuasjourneyzzz10420]

Nice video, sweet cuts!!!! They would make great tiles!!!

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Beautiful! 😊

[@soul_adventurist]

I want that slice that looks the state of Minnesota! They are all beautiful 🤩

[@CedarStoneCreations]

Glad you’re feeling better, I’m finally getting over a bug too! That pet wood with the knot was sweet! The chert that you cut sortve reminds me of prairie agates in a way!

[@lovefaith1794]

Loved this. Thk u for sharing this❤

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

Yes beautiful...

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

I love that one petrified wood would buy a pendant guaranteed❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@donnabeaudin9114]

I love slabs, what beauties! Thanks Theo, and I hope feel much better soon! 👍

[@JensensAdventures]

I love the agates but on this one that streaky agatized wood is amazing, thanks for sharing!

[@donnalantz7981]

Absolutely beautiful pieces. Every cut is so unique.

Lindas pedras Theo...❤😮

[@CacklingChick]

Love these cuts and your geological explanations! SLAB ON!! 😃👍🏻🪨⛏️

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

Love it...

[@judymarkel8029]

Fun video

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

Nice.

[@Panicagq2]

Good gravy - I often have small involuntary responses to a beautiful rock - I love this stuff - but that piece at 7:00 made me audibly *gasp* and my stomach did a tiny flip. It's nice to experience the literal definition of 'awesome' lol Wow.

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

I go some of that.... 😊.

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

Ooooooohhhh❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

Yes get mire off it...😊

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Hey when you going to be in the STL area? Let me know so I can take off work. We can go to several cool spots. Please let me know as soon as you can though it’s really hard for me to get off work short notice and I would really like to take you to some of my spots. You were the person on KZbin who convinced me to start a channel. I was having trouble with a name and I was like oh here’s this dude Theo and his channel is great! Dude don’t overthink it so I find rocks 😂

[@grantfahlman1815]

Dude, what an awesome selection of choice pieces for cutting. I think your favorite was also mine; but two of those agates weren't far behind (especially the waterline). What a difference your backup light/bulb made. As such, I have to ask, what do you normally use for lighting? Curious minds need to know. 🤔

[@Draad]

That one petrified wood looks like a bears face

[@glenn5903]

I would polish and leave it alone

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

Where would one to get their rocks ✂️ & would they charge u??!!

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

😊😊😊😊😮😮😮😮

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

✂️

[@user-kn2wd5sl4k]

Yeah thiner is better...

[@jaredhamm5002]

How often do you need to redress your sawblade? I’ve been cutting some Montana agates and the blade seems to dull within 3-4 cuts. Do you need to redress the blade consistently as well?

[@Draad]

Get an agate eater I make hundreds of cuts.

[@becmel43]

It looks like a bear

[@joang.cavanna2046]

I wish you wouldn't flip stuff around so fast - by the time you focus on something and the camera focuses, my eyes are just focusing and it's gone.

[@AlabamaUSA1234]

Theo, glad you're better. Loving your new baby 🧰
