AGATES from AFRICA cut open w/ 10" Lapidary Saw // Stunning Gemstones

Let's cut open some amazing agates from Africa! These beautiful agate gems are from the southern part of the Sahara and were sent to me as a gift to cut open and see what wonders will be hiding inside! These agates were cut on my 10" lapidary saw with the thin sintered blade, see the Hi Tech Diamond link below for more info. I am planning on polishing these beauties in another lapidary video in the future so make sure to subscribe to stay tuned for that!

Thank you all for watching this lapidary cutting video where we use our 10" lapidary slab saw to slice open these beautiful agate gems from Africa. I had a ton of fun seeing inside these amazing minerals. I really loved all the agate bands as well as the geode pocket full of crystals! It would be very fun to go rockhounding in the sahara desert where these were found, maybe someday. I will polishing these on our 8" cabking cabbing machine in the future, see you then!
