We are breaking out the hammer and chisel to crack open a bunch of geodes from Indiana and Illinois and we got SUPER lucky and cracked open an enhydro geode! We saved all the similar geodes so we can try to polish down the husk to make polished enhydro geode balls but we broke open many more that had amazying crystals and botryoidal formations inside!

I had the opportunity to visit Reentel, which is the company behind Cabking, Hi-Tech Diamond, Inland Craft, and Tumble Bee! I hung there all day, got to visit with all the amazing folks there and was able to have a lapidary dream day by playing with so many pieces of lapidary equipment, a few of them I have never used before! We cut, shaped, and polished many stones and had a lot of fun with a piece of fordite! Which is, for those who don't know, paint! Its taken from automobile factories where they paint cars and the gunks up in layers and well, can be unbelievable!

Let's head up the North Shore of Lake Superior to go rockhounding in a gorgeous river! On this adventure, we primarily find Lake Superior agates, the state gemstone of Minnesota. We did find some other amazing minerals such as quartz and jasper.

Let's cut open a bunch of GALAXY STONES! I use my 10" lapidary saw to cut open these amazing stones, which are host rocks for Lake Superior agates, quartz vugs - including amethyst, and many more minerals. These host rocks are amygdaloidal basalts and rhyolites and were found by me along the North Shore of Lake Superior.

Polishing a UNIQUE agate from Agate Creek, Australia! This beautiful gemstone is amazing and has a really interesting story.. we got a bunch of agates given to us and we cut them open.. this one is a special gemstone because after we cut it, one half was a blueish gray and the other have a yellowish tan. I couldn't believe this had two different colors on each half and in this video we test out a theory as to WHY this stone has two separate colors!

Join along as we head out to our first creek for some Lake Superior rockhounding where we look for Lake Superior agates and other North Shore minerals! As we search through this creek we find many limonite stained agates. After we leave the creek we fire up our 5" and 10" lapidary saws to cut open some of our finds and we save our best limonite stained gemstone for last and find beautiful agatey goodness inside it! Then we take both halves of that agate and polish them on our 8" cabking! I have been having a lot of fun with our saws and cabking and will share the links to all our equipment below, please let me know if you have any questions about any of the lapidary equipment we use.

Cutting open a heap of agatized oysters from Florida! These fossils are estimated to be 20 million years old and are a rare find among Florida's fossils. I am slicing these open with my 10" lapidary saw, which made quick work with these oysters. These were sent to me from Derek and I am very thankful for him sharing these with us to play with. I had wondered if there was going to be any pearls inside some of these oysters but he told me that the theory is that "these oysters died closed. If there was a pearl it most likely have failed to form in the pseudomorph stage when the original shell was replaced by silicate minerals." I hope you all enjoyed this video and I plan to polish a few of these on my 8" cabking, if you want to see those lapidary adventures, please consider subscribing :) -- CABKING -- https://cabking.myshopify.com?aff=154 - Use code AGATEDAD to save 10% (excluding machines, extended warranties, and gift cards) -- HI-TECH DIAMOND - LAPIDARY EQUIPMENT -- http://hitechdiamond.com?aff=22 - Use code AGATEDAD to save 10% (excluding machines, extended warranties, and gift cards) -- SUBSCRIBE | JOIN THE FAM -- https://www.youtube.com/c/agatedad?sub_confirmation=1 *TOP 5 ROCKHOUNDING VIDEOS* Unexpected Find at New Rockhounding Location: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEmmDeS3A1M&t=142s Finding Lake Superior Rocks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQpaJV-Fkfg&t=561s Finding a BIG Lake Superior Agate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6dL-SkRI6I&t=431s Rockhounding an Unpicked Beach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZVz104W-sk&t=666s Finding Amethyst on South Shore beach (WI): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m74kOskcAM4&t=118s *TOP 5 LAPIDARY VIDEOS* Are These Agates?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG1eX-X8myA What's Inside Porphyry??: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw2ayOj5yjw&t=43s Cutting Galaxy Stone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMRSVG-iSzQ&t=31s Slabbing RARE Bullseye Jasper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip_H05Ibxi0&t=315s Cutting Agates w/ Tile Saw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1n0YCUeUVg&t=193s -- ALL AGATE DAD LINKS -- https://linktr.ee/AgateDad *Anyone who is cutting any material with a lapidary saw should read their equipments instruction manual before use and perform proper safety guidelines.* #fossils #AgateDad #Lapidary #mineral

In this video I am going to show you how to dop rocks. We are using a dopping station, dopping wax, dopping sticks, different stones, some water, and random tools to help with the lapidary prep process of dopping. The reason we dop rocks or minerals is so that during the polishing process, with whatever kind of lapidary equipment you are using, it is easier to handle. Sometimes the rough agates are a little small or awkward to handle or the cut and slabbed stones are too thin. This process fixes that!

Let's go exploring on a North Shore beach on Lake Superior! On this agate hunting adventure we scour a beach for Lake Superior agates and find a bunch of goodies, some mystery rocks that we end up cutting open at the end of the video on our 10" lapidary saw, and a bunch of skip-an-atom agates. These are some very unique and rare Lake Superior agates. It was very cool to have found a small handful of these beauties!

Rockhounding on the North Shore of Lake Superior and exploring a beach that ends with a cave with crystal pockets inside! Along the way we see old crystal pockets along the shore that have been worn down by Lake Superior. After checking out the crystals in the cave, we explore the beach for treasures and find some amazing goodies, like "urbanite" with a Lake Superior agate inside! "Urbanite" is a cement ball that was disgarded along the beach at some point and the BIG LAKE has worn it down, luckily for us the one we found has an agate inside with what looks to be smokey quartz or amethyst... I am tempted to chisel that agate out! We also found some amethyst in host rock and a HUGE chunk of jasper!

Let's unbox, set up, and cut some stones (agates & porphyry). I am using, for the first time, a 4” or 5” lapidary trim saw from Hi-Tech Diamond and during this unboxing, setting up, and cutting rocks video, we are going to test it out and I give my honest opinion on what I think of it.

Do not force your stone through the grinding process, take it nice and easy and be patient.
