Warzy Raptor’s Rocks
Приєднався 30 вер 2007
DO YOU LIKE ROCKS? I dang sure do! I like to rockhound and hoard I MEAN collect rocks, I like to tumble rocks (both rotary and vibratory), I like to cut apart rocks to see what’s inside, and then shape and polish those rocks.

Let’s Look At: some tumbled cut agates (stage 1)!
I’m in the process of tumbling a whole lot of different rocks, so I’m starting a little series called Let’s Look At! Join me while I check out the these agates I cut and then put through their first round in the rock tumbler!

Long Island Beach Rocks, Tumbled!
Переглядів 2543 місяці тому
I went rockhounding around Long Island, I threw some of those rocks in the tumbler, and I made them shiny! …or not shiny in some cases. I’ll make a big ol’ beach rockhounding video some day to show anyone who wants to tumble - what to look for, what to avoid, and what Ugly Ducklings you NEED to take home! (Note: I am not a geology buff, but if you ARE and you want to correct anything I said, pl...
Honest Rock Review: Zenkeeper Stone (2024)
Переглядів 783 місяці тому
I’ve ordered rough rock for either #rocktumbling or other #lapidary work from a few different places over the past few months, so I figured - hey, since I’m uploading to UA-cam now, why not make some honest review videos? Today I’m giving y’all my honest opinion on Zenkeeper Stone, a company you can order from on Temu*. I’m pretty new to the rock tumbling and lapidary game so this is NOT an aut...
My SECOND polished rock, now with FOSSILS! (Still using the cheapest equipment possible!)

Elliott “HELPING” me sort my rocks for tumbling
I buy a lot from Temu and the same rocks. Often get big pieces.
5:43 That red carnelian looks just like a sliced strawberry!!! Yum!
What do you use for the last stage of tumbling to get that shine??
@@sleary9 I bought my polish from Rock Shed’s website, let me tell you - I understand the hype they get now, their polish works AMAZINGLY! I also got into vibratory tumbling and I find that the vibratory tumbler does a better job of polishing than the rotary does (in a fraction of the time as well!) I’m curious to experiment with cerium oxide as a polish in the future, it’s a bit expensive but I’ve had amazing results using it along with a buffing wheel to polish up stones that were already set in jewelry! I’ve also been told that ZAM polishing compound also does an amazing job for that sort of thing but I haven’t tried it out yet - definitely an idea for a future video :D
Note to self: The Gem Shop. B grade Montana moss agates. ✔️
@@LezBeRockin73 I may or may not have just ordered 10lbs of them last night. (……..I did.)
@@WarszawaScream 😂
The more intact rock kinda looked like a turd lol
You should see Cold Mountain Thunder Eggs, the video I uploaded awhile ago showing one off looks SOO MUCH LIKE I’M HOLDING A TURD AND I HATE ITTTT😂😂😂
Seriously, the vibratory hits 90 decibels on my dang audio meter right next to it 😫 Getting ready to fabricate a gasket for between the lid and bowl!
😮 so pretty 😍
This is about the same as having grandkiddos 😅 Grrrreat helpers haha
@@LezBeRockin73 OH yeah, I took in Momma Missy and her four kittens last summer and let’s just say I now know that I am ENTIRELY ill-equipped for real children! 😂 Elliott is the most “HELPFUL” of the kids but good GRIEF are they a handful!
Awesome! Thank you for your input. You've convinced me to re-download Temu just for rocks 😊
A buncha pretty rocks! Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks so much! I have some more I’m working on right now, those I’ll actually film in Landscape format haha!
It really looks like I’m holding a dang turd for the first part of the video. Awesome 😭😂😂 Shout out to AgateDad for his vid that introduced me to them!
should of had water to dip the rocks in!!!! lol
YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT ugh next time I film I gotta remember to keep water with me!
@@WarszawaScream you can always do the video again!!!!
wow rhode island!!!! jersey here!!!
Well Long Island, BUT still close to Jersey! What’s up my northeastern sibling? 👏🏻👏🏻
@@WarszawaScream you can be my sibling why not!!!.....long island is cool.... been to fire island and the hamptons......took me 3 hours with the dam summer traffic
@@johnny0253 you gotta go all the way past the Hamptons and out to Montauk sometime, it’s calmed down a *little* bit from when I was always partying out there 10 years ago but MAAANN it is absolutely magical. Bring a 5 gallon bucket for water, some firewood, and a big metal basin - dig a hole in the sand on the beach, put the basin in, fill that bucket with beach water to keep nearby (keeps the police happy!), build yourself a bonfire in that bin and enjoy your night on the beach knocking back some cold beverages with your buddies. No shirts, no shoes, no problems.
@@WarszawaScream i was planning on heading that way but the traffic was to much......one day i'll get there...... i did visit jennifer lopez house though!!!!
Love their labradorite! And their tiger eyes are amazing as well.
I was SO pleased with the Tiger Eye I got in this batch, another supplier (the “shall remain nameless”) who I ordered from sent me a pound of mostly matrix with maybe a tiny shiny spot on each, and they were so small that I’m still not sure tumbling them will reveal any further shine. Like - c’mon y’all, just a TINY bit of quality control? 😑 I’ll make a video on that supplier in upcoming weeks, I’m hoping that *maybe* the crummy stuff I got from them was just a fluke. I don’t think I ordered Lab from Zenkeeper yet! I’m in the middle of tumbling some Labradorite from various vendors right now and oh gosh, the “black labradorite” has AMAZING speckled rainbow color flashes as opposed to full face flash, I cannot WAIT until this batch is finished!
@@WarszawaScream My tiger eye didn't look that good, but still got amazing slabs out of them. I'll have to check out the black labradorite, never heard of that.
@@aeronkaster7305 I’m not sure if the “black labradorite” has another name, it’s basically labradorite with a much darker tint to it but you get some crazy rainbow effects!
@@WarszawaScream lol, that explains why I couldn't find anything by that description. I'm sure it's amazing.
@@WarszawaScream I got that shine the next time I ordered labradorite through zen keeper. Barely any shine and the one good piece exploded into pieces when I tried to slab it. I can't blame them, you never know what's inside the rock, but it happens quite frequently that the first order is amazing and the next is just blah. But, for 20$ a lb, I'm still happy enough with my first batch that I will definitely try again.
She is a good helper. 🥰
He wants to be a part of what youre doing! ... Buuttt not that badly, lol What a cute video!
He’s simultaneously the apple of my eye AND THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE 😂🧡 I have to flip rocks from one of my tumblers tonight so I’ll get a video of how “HELPFUL” he is come tumbler time too!
Fungi among thy ?
It DOES look very fungi-like! …fungus-esque? It looks like a ……………… fun guy 😎
