This is a great idea. Where do you source cracked or chipped stones?

Nothing like a little fossil ASMR 🩵 good job on the fossils and winning the award!

nice fish. How much time did that consume?

Howdy Dr. Donohue. Enjoyed your prepping and repairing video adventure. Was curious as to what your adding 'on to the fossil' after you have worked on sections of certain prepped area's? is it a watered downed "CA" concoction or other?

Thanks for the info!!

Jason's link is broken.

I love this channel haha. Thanks for doing this.

Thank you for this video, you are a real conductor

Would of liked for you to of ran it as it out of box maybe? 😂

Hey it is so unusual to find some one with the same spelling of my last name. Just a interested person in looking for rocks .

This video left me speachless. 😦

This video gave me a braingasm.

You should look at the black wax instead of the green for smaller stones

After you get some of these obvious little obstacles out of the way, go and cut your first "gem"... I suggest you go to the hobby shop and buy a little bag of marbles for a buck or two. Glass marbles! Go and try a few simple cuts using glass marbles! You will be surprised how much there is to learn in hands on skills, small details, there is a ton of little "tricks" and "ways to do it" until you end up with a fully polished glass "brilliant", a beautiful amethyst color glass brilliant. Once you have done a couple of those and "know what you are doing" as a beginner. Speaking for myself, I figured out how to put the facets where they belong reasonably quickly, but my biggest problem was and still is the polishing. As the Vevor machines are definitely unsophisticated, there is a silver lining, namely, you will have a worked out a bunch of common sense solutions in general gem facetting skills.

Discord invite?

Thank you for the time and effort you put into creating a usable faceter, and the time spent documenting it for us!

Gorgeous

Thank for sharing

Lovely stones! Thanks for the info! 😎👍

Really enjoyed your documentary sir, your narrative reminded me also of it being in the vein of a Ken Burn's creation. Well Done!

Hi Patrick. Do you have tutorial how to make grinding wheel that you are using or it is not hanmade?

So I've had great luck with my Chicago Electric tumbler which I purchased for $59. I've run mine nonstop from June 2023 to October 2024 and just replacing the belt for the first time this evening. Conversely, I bought a Lortone 33B in July 2023 for $139, and the motor burned out in July 2024 (it's been a pain to find a new one...). The Chicago Electric company has been bought out by Central Machinery (but it is the exact same tumbler, and I just purchased a new one for $79 last month). Great way to start in the rock tumbling hobby!!

saweet video dude I like the style you made and how you traversed the the path that led to a unique and steller stone. Good work. I'm just gonna start getting into all of faceting i've been rockhounding for years and have a good back stock of material.

so much gleam to glean

How much did you pay &&for the emerald?

I enjoyed your presentation sir.

wow been finding rocks around the Columbia basin for years. have a beauty of a collection. thanks for the info.

As always, your videos are thoughtful, appear to have a production value as high as an investigative journal episode from like dateline.

That is a wonderful death plate! Good investment :)

Glad you see you got it up there without incident!

Fun! Nice to learn how to transfer and protect it. Thanks for sharing!

I've had a small one of these for some years. They seem to be very plentiful. Are they from volcanic eruption ash burial events?

I want that dichroic 38 ct one I will buy it from you

This was amazing!

Geology rocks! 🤘🤓🤌

Good mineral to put in a tumbler

Definitely get them in some water

CThere is a gravel pit between Toppenish and Wapato that has an incredibly large variety of agate. I have even seen fossilized agatized plants.

You're a great teacher.I just wish I had a con.Machine more

I just started Now I just need a machine to cut diamonds.I love your work.I wish I could learn more Can't afford a machine

Those turned out beautiful! The color and the cut were awesome! The topaz is such a gorgeous stone! It has amazing sparkle and that could lor is just amazing! Great job Patrick! They turned out gorgeous!💕

Fantastic, tedious work!🎉

Terrific video, and gorgeous cut stones! That place is on my bucket list fosho.

Always nice to hear the various mistakes that can be made too :) just as helpful knowing what to avoid, as knowing what to do. Ty for the enjoyable vids m8, and happy cutting :D
