Rock Chisel vs. Geode Agate in Host Rock | A Challenging Lapidary Project

Lets take the big 106lb host rock, with an amazing Lake Superior geode agate, and chisel it into a display piece! We break out our lapidary saw as well as the rock chisel and hammer to assist us in turning this big chunk into a display piece. Even though this project was full of obstacles and essentially a lapidary project trainwreck. We found this rare find in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjXLQ7I-B2g

I hope you all enjoyed this lapidary project video, I know we had a hard time with our rock hammer and chisel and lapidary saw.. but it was fun taking this risk and working this stone down from a huge treasure to a nice display piece. This geode lake superior agate was a heck of a find and I am happy to have it displayed in a much more easier, and lighter, way. Thanks for watching us break this rock and tag along as we struggled through this lapidary project!
