These Ammonites are Fantastic! Prepping & Polishing a Beautiful Pair of Ammonites with the Airscribe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- In this one, we take a pair of ammonites I bought back in September and prep them! They are very nice specimens of Mamites from Morocco, but were still coated in matrix. Using the Airscribe and my new air eraser, we remove all of the outer matrix and polish one to exposed a beautifully calcified ammonite beneath! This was a very fun project with a very satisfying end result! I always love fossil prep, so if you all would like to see more, make sure to let me know! I have no shortage of specimens that need prep! I hope you all enjoy and I will have another one out very soon!

We love the prep videos! It's amazing how much beauty is buried under all that rock
Yes, to prepping videos!!
love this stof
I love the prep videos. Your fast-motion makes it look like magic. I would like to see an Amonite cut…..someday when you have more. Thanks.
Yes to more fossil prep videos. Thanks for sharing
I like the rough and rustic look of the one with the oysters but they are all amazing
Beautiful..it's an unveiling process. You let the beauty show!
So cool to watch you work and expose the beauty of the rock or fossil you are working on. Thank you ❤😊❤
Those turned out amazing! Yes, more please! Would love to see a Q&A too!
Beautiful pieces- shinny guy for me, love the polished sutures
Thank you for the video!❤
My favorite is the same you picked. I would love to see more prepping videos! They are always turn out amazing!
Lovely!! Fossil prepping videos are wonderful! Post as many as you want! 😊❤❤
Yes I would love to see more prepping video. And those turned out amazing 😍🤩
Definitely, more fossil prep!
Loved both of the ammonites.
They are both amazing, nice work. You definitly need more.
Yes,more fossil prep please.
Very cool ammonites Theo! Thanks for sharing.
Love the scribing vids and all of your great shows. Thanks 'n cheers.
Awesome! Keep the videos coming, learn a lot plus see pure awesomeness
Oh yeah, I like the prepping vids, very relaxing to watch you work. I think my favorite is the same one, the polished one--and I don't blame you for not wanting to cut it. Those Moroccan ammonites really are awesome, I have a small one, maybe three inches across, that's cut and some of the chambers have teeny-tiny soft yellow calcite crystals as well as druzy. But the bigger ones I've seen look better as specimens or polished. Anyway, thanks Theo, see ya next time!
Love your fossil prep videos Theo! I’m working up the courage to prep the one I have. Been reviewing some of your older prep videos as well. Thanks!,👍👍👍
Love your prep work video.
Yes, more prepping videos. And my fav is probably the bone, ciz u never know how good that will look once u get it out of that matrix and polish that.
I defenately have to say to ex hubby to bring me those( if he finds them) next time he goes to morocco
i have been in Morocco and bought a lot of beutiful cut gemstones. Eggs both from the deserts and the mountains and was also offered those ammonites, but some guides said that they was fake, but later, I have learn, they are not. I had wished to be back there and explore more rocks in the soukes/basars. It is so nice polished
very nice video I love ammonites
Yes fossil prepping videos.
I like this using it rinds me of old school Sim city music!!!!
Yes make more prepping videos
Beautiful work buddy...
I have some ammonites from the species Ceratites, they are a nightmare to prep as well, they also have a calcium layer between it and the stone, I may have the right tool for that, but it isn't ready yet. The ammonites look awesome in the end, that you prepared 👍
I would cut the large ammonite It would look awesome with such a contrast outside from inside,
素晴らしいアンモナイト化石ですね！クリーニングがとても上手です。
I can't pick a favorite ammonite, but the polish on the small one is very nice. I get why you aren't polishing the big one....if it were mine I'd slice it and polish the insides then display them opposite....preferably somewhere I would walk around them thru the day. I got the box I ordered from you, they are great and thank you so much for the extras. Oh yeah, more prep please!
Beautiful? How long does it actually take to finish one of those?
Hey Theo! Those look so good! I’m wondering if you could do more baculite videos? Prep and all that, what do you do with different conditions of them, and can they all be prepped or no? I have soooo much baculite and little I guess inspiration to do anything with them😅
Hi Theo, my name is Karla. I work at a Town Pump in Kalispell. I'm a widow and I'm looking to find a hobby that I love. To my surprise there's agates, jasper and many more rocks here I didn't know about here in Montana!!! I'm originally from the coast but I've been here in Montana for 20 years. I love rock hunting. Could you and agate mom help me to know where to go find rocks in my area? Please 🙏 . If you comment me back I'll give you my info. Hope to here from you. Thank you for all the joy you bring us. I'm great full for you. Again thank you so very much 😊😊
Vinegar soak to get rid of that "stickey" you describe in the calcite deposits. Even do so with that bone in host rock as it will simplify the scribe work. Yes, you will have to polish those resulting specimens when prep is done,but that's what lapidary is all about.
Cool
What kind of engraver do you use in your prep work?
How do more prepping videos on
Great video. Quick question, what tool are you using on the ammonite to prep it? Is it an engraving pen or a rotary tool?
What do i need to be using to get fossils out of host rock i have a Dremel but are you using an engraver?
In case you are curious, because it is a plural word, you would say there are oysters.
can you not use lime away? or does it eat the Ammonite?
Flex shaft.. fordom??,
Oh on the second one I'd take all the oysters off
Before and after turning it around for the photo jees.
Who else thought it looked like a skull? 😮
If you don't hunt you ain't shit.
I would love to see you prep some more fossils. 🦴🐚I really loved the polished ammonite. ❤
