Revealing a Beautiful Agate | Grinding Away the Husk & Polishing a Gem
In this BONUS video we show the FULL process of grinding away the husk until it is ready to move forward to being polished to perfection! This is a long process and if you watch from start to finish, you can see how each swipe on the flat lap grinds away more and more husk and is revealing more beautiful agate characteristics. This style video is very different than most of our lapidary videos but I thought it was a perfect opportunity to show how 8 minutes of grinding can replace millions of years of what nature could have done to it. We really should appreciate the tools we are able to use this day in age. I hope you all watch this video start to finish to appreciate that, thanks for watching!
