In 2022 we found many Lake Superior agates along Minnesota's North Shore, we explored beaches, rivers, creeks, and random spots. We also found many different Minnesota minerals! On top of that we cut many agates from our region as well as around the world! We cut fossils and other minerals including: ammonites, thunder eggs, stromatolites, agatized coral, and amazing specimens like oolitic ironstone jasper! Thanks for an amazing year and I look forward to 2023!
*Anyone who is cutting any material with a lapidary saw should read their equipments instruction manual before use and perform proper safety guidelines.*

My mineral display shelf and it’s new addition 🤘🤘
I added a new piece to my mineral display shelf... It's not a mineral but also something I am a big fan of, Star Wars! I got a Mandalorian Lego head thing and added it to the shelf. I'm not big into legos but I think these display heads are pretty sweet!

Uncutting an agate
I sometimes wish this was actually possible, this is obviously a joke. Agates and other stones cannot be uncut, there has been a bunch I wish I could uncut though, or at least cut a different direction.

OPAL: Do we attempt making a cabochon?!
I have never worked opals before.. I want to attempt making a cabochon out of this but am afraid to at the moment. The color bar looks very thin and could be ruined by this attempt.. What do you think?
