In this lapidary cutting video, I am cutting open some agates and things of the sort from Tim, who collected these on the Central Coast of California! I have never cut anything from California before so it was very fun seeing inside these beautiful minerals! I am happy these ended up being so great so that I can send some beauties back to Tim!

I found this in the Mesabi Range in Northern Minnesota and have no idea what it is. #agatedad #minerals #rockhounding

In this video I take an old bucket, some plexiglass, and some silicone to make a "view tube" to use while rockhounding in water! Whether it's at the lake or in a river, this helps calms the waters and makes it easier to see what minerals may be hiding! Our first use of our new rockhounding tool is at a Lake Superior beach and we find a bunch of great rocks! Some Lake Superior agates, red oolitic jasper, and porphyry. It was a shorter hunt but we will be getting out a lot and this will be a part of my rockhounding bag from now on. It's small enough to fit in my backpack easily and I believe will help us find some phenomenal agates this summer! -- SUBSCRIBE -- https://www.youtube.com/c/agatedad?sub_confirmation=1 Help support our channel by becoming a member https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkXGbf13yNPDgZStw4ReBaw/join -- ALL AGATE DAD LINKS -- https://linktr.ee/AgateDad (Info on links shared below) -- CKG SCOOPS -- Use code AGATEDAD for 10% off your order #rockhounding #agatedad #lakesuperior #agates #gems #minerals #howto #bucket #tube #minerals #lakesuperioragates
