    Oh wow! That second laguna is out of this world! All that yellow banding with the amethyst fractures is 🤩

    Very nice! It's too bad the first one went ballistic on you!
    Jason, my rocks show sparks and a glow from within when my saw blade isn't getting enough water. I use a wet tile cutting saw; there's a filter pad in the water pump. I take it out, clean it, squeeze it, and everything is good to go again. Your blade may still be ok, if that's the case. Thanks, for sharing! This fellow Nova Scotian always enjoys your videos!

    There's no denying the incredible beauty the second Laguna agate has. Other than the Amethyst Limbcast you found on New Year's Day, I don't think you've been so excited! Great rocks today! 😀

    The first Malawi is a superb piece for that locality. Lagunas are generally considered the best in the world, and both of those did not disappoint. The white things on the outside of the yellow band are cone structures. They look really cool under magnification.

    Yep amazing how a blunt or cheap blade can wreck a world class agate done it many times. Spend the money and keep it sharp and you can save fractured agates. Or they survive the cutting.
    Shapen the blade by cutting soft sandstone, it knocks sandstone grains out and they roll between blade and stone sharpening it. When the blade jitters it needs truing.

      @bfunkiee1 6 місяців тому

      I'm seeing your saw blow out the back of loads of the agates you are cutting, damaging perfect specimens. I know because iv done it loads myself. A lot less nowadays tho..

    @steveegbert7429 Рік тому +1

    I hope you didn't pay top dollar for those island agates that blew up. I would be too embarrassed to sell those to someone if I had clue they were that fractured. Sure, you could probably salvage some smaller cuts off of them, but that's probably not what you paid for. The Laguna's were great!
