Just found your YT channel this evening. WOW! is right! This Mexican Crazy Lace Agate is SO Different from the M C L A of the 1960's/1970's where as I recall, there was a whitish pattern (upper 2/3's of slice) above the colors of the pattern below. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more stone cuttings & adventures with you!

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! I loved all of them. The one with the gills, holy smokes! I loved the one with iris you've been holding onto, so pretty. And that weird pattern one was magnificent. The Bear Canyon really cool. But, the Brazilian was the Belle of the Ball. Sweet video, Theo.

[@dawnwilkinson8717]

Stunning

[@shelleybarron215]

I got an idea for a craft after looking at those beautiful agates! What do you think about trying to make a picture with the agates that look like a map from the sky? Maybe like a mosaic? Each one makes me think of unusual landscapes. Let me know if you will try it. I wish I had some to try it myself. Keep up the awesome finds.

[@fenix02008]

Nice to see the fun the three of you have❣️ Fav was Mexican Lace ❣️ Keep on Rockin ❣️

[@reneewilbur4340]

Very nice collection 🔥

[@sum2automation]

Funny how silly a man can act when ladies are in the room 🤣 Nice cuts, thanks for sharing your work, she does good work!

[@joane.landers9151]

I think you need to make further cuts on Both sections of the Montana Moss Agates and I'll tell you why. Many years ago, early 1960's, when I really knew nothing about stones & had never seen a lapidary saw or any equipment for grinding-polishing stones, in a new job I began in a private psychiatric hospital in CT to teach patients all phases of Metalcraft: enameling on copper, jewelery using sterling silver, lapidary (my classroom was equipped with an all-in one Covington Co., horizontal lapidary unit: saw, two 8" grinding wheels, 3"wide cast aluminum (?) drum w/slot for strips of 600 grit wet/dry sand paper & on the end of the unit a 8" spin disk with a firm sponge rubber base on which to glue 8" leather discs for various polishing compounds which were powder to be mixed with water. As I said earlier in my comment, I was unfamiliar with all of this. Four years prior to this, I was a junior in high school, took a crafts class which introduced me to jewelry making using cabachons, but no equipment for doing so. Continued this my senior year; went to a junior college where I took craft & jewelry classes, no lapidary equipment here either, So my introduction to lapidary was in my new job in late summer 1960. My co-worker was able to show me a little about using the saw & lapidary unit. ( A few months later he transferred to the Art Dept., so I was on my own until someone would be hired to replce him.) Then it was learn by doing. A few months later when I was exploring drawers that had slabs and rough rocks, some had exposed sides to show what was beneath the surface. I picked one up that was a Montana moss agate with what I thought were "pieces of moss" scattered in various locations on this clearish surface about 3.5" long x 1.75" thick x 2" wide, as I recall. I was intrigued. What was hiding in the areas I couldn't see? I debated how I should cut this piece. Finally I cut across the width & was wowed by what I saw! A mountianous scene beyond a valley from a plateau with two small bushes on both sides of plateau. This was Not imagination! It was/is like a painting! I cut it to a rectangular shape, cut off the corners rounding them, ground-polished it on both front & back and set into a simple bezel setting with a 3-piece pin -back, so nothing is across the back of the setting. I'm so proud of the piece because it was only the 2nd stone I'd cut-polished! I've never seen another scenic Montana moss agate, ever!

[@phild8095]

I found a fist size agate like rock in rural Iowa recently in a stream bed. When I picked it up I thought it was smoky quartz, but when I washed it off it had some red and chartreuse. When I slabbed it there were no layers, but there were translucent blooms and flames of clear, red, chartreuse, gray and white. It cut and polished like quartz, but the fine details are fractal. I can only think it tumbled south from Lake Superior with a glacier.

[@gregderksen1996]

Well, that was awesome. Not gonna lie. That dryhead was definitely my favourite followed closely by that brecciated jasper. Never a bad day when you and Kim get together for a day of slabbing. Can’t wait to see what you create with these on your second channel! Good luck on the bear canyon hunt Theo!

[@jamesblondeau1029]

Wow with the crazy lace. Stunning. The microscope pic were amazing. The iris agate. But i have an odd question with all the bands in the Brazilian agate is it possible there could be an iris/Brazilian agate? And loved the geode that was cut off centre and the jasper is breathtaking thanks for doing the video and sparking my rock loving mind. 😀

[@tashacano3324]

That weird Montana agate would have looked totally different if you had cut it on another angle. It's just cut cross grain if you will & totally changed how the dendrites look. I think the agate was my favorite 🤣😂

[@delawarewolf78]

The coral “dud” might still make some cool cabs.

[@patriciamckean4186]

Wowsa Grogon!

[@rotisumbuErikGemstone]

batu akik nya sangat luar biasa mantap

[@veronicamoore3777]

What happened to the NM agates?😩All of them were my favorite!!! Wonderful agates!

[@delawarewolf78]

I’d love to have a cab from Bear Canyon agate

[@denisthemineralist4033]

Did you check the Dugway geodes under the UV light?

[@dalekline3612]

Really enjoyed the video. I especially like the rutilated quartz you showed the microscopic picture of at 6:24. I would love to have that picture as a piece of wall art. Is there anyway to blow that up for artwork?

[@MariaCCurry]

11:28 is amazing!

[@McShaganpronouncedShaegen]

Hey Theo, hey Rock Mom.

[@rotisumbuErikGemstone]

luar biasa dan menarik

[@Romania_Rockhound]

Hi, my name is Adriana, I'm from Romania. I wonder how that bear rock looks like under uv light

[@andreafrates8473]

That one with the waterline looks like you cut a snake head and there's bird claws/talons in there. Don't know if the bird got the snake or the snake got the bird. Nice fossils/agates.

[@charlesadkins7067]

Hey Theo just picked up a couple Ammonite should i cut them open or leave them in one piece

[@res6364]

The Brazilian agate (1st cut) looks like the eye of Ra

[@teresarowland4939]

What make and model # is your big green saw?

[@bebecatanzaro9362]

I thought you were saying beer can agate 🤣

[@sandramartin5155]

God does his best work in stone

[@ZanesClips]

The thumbnail looks really weird😂

[@veronicamoore3777]

Theo I’ve got a slab of quartz/amethyst that you can have if you would like it.

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@petownnpapaya]

Hey Theo! My names Peyton and I'm 14. And I just got a rock from Texas that is full of fossils and crystal pockets. Could you possibly help me identify it.

[@beckysmith3660]

How can you pick a favorite!

[@masonmaloney1972]

So the slab that you pulled up at 14 minutes and 30 some odd seconds did you notice it looks just like a bear also check your Facebook messages I sent you some photos of a crazy I cut that I have trouble describing all the features of
