Picking Lake Superior Agates & Chalcedony to Cut | Showing Agate Characteristics & Tips for Finding

Lets hang out and look at some rocks! Lake Superior agates specifically, and some chalcedony, and...some others that may end up being nothing. We just have to cut them first! In this video I show a bunch of amazing gemstones (Lake Superior agates) that I will be cutting in our next video. I wanted to take the time to show these details to not only show all of you what to look for when you are out in the field rockhounding, but also to be able to jump right into the cutting video when we get to that point!

Stay tuned for the end... I need your advice on what to do with one special agate...
