Chill Day Cutting Agates and Jasper
Вставка

- Having a laid-back day in the shop, slicing up some premium treasures from Southern Oregon. Feast your eyes on these stunning agates and Jasper after they've been cut open. It's like unwrapping natures a gift - you never really know what you'll discover on the inside!
Rockhounding, prospecting, rock hunting, stone collecting - call it what you will, it all boils down to one thing: getting outside and exploring the great outdoors. And nothing beats rockhounding in the Pacific Northwest, especially in the beautiful state of Oregon. It's a passion of mine to hunt for unique stones and bring them to life through crafting. There's something truly special about uncovering the beauty of newly discovered materials and turning them into works of art, jewelry, and other crafts. From agates to jasper, sagenite to crystals, quartz to opal, and even petrified wood, Oregon offers a wealth of minerals to collect. So, let's get outdoors, hunt some rocks, and create something beautiful together.
Enjoy RockhoundQuest (RHQ)
Those are just beautiful! I love that you cut them and show what they look like! Nicely done!!
thank you
You're welcome
Absolutely gorgeous piece's to work with!
I try to pick a favourite, but gosh each time you cut one I'm like yes this is it, thanks for sharing 👍
That was the goal, I tried to pick some real stunners. Good luck hounding! 👌😁
Just gorgeous!! Your little girl scored!!
I agree, that was a sweet find!
Blue is the colour 🔵
Wow those cuts were beautiful. That seam agate was gorgeous! And the colors of those wonderful jaspers is amazing! I'm sure you have got to be pleased. Gorgeous material . Vs Thank you for sharing!
I've devoted countless hours to rockhounding, and it's truly rewarding to share these discoveries with others. Thanks for taking the time to check it out.
I knew that seam was gonna be dope ^^
Nice cuts man
That seam turned out pretty nice! It was a pain to cut though.
I really enjoyed the cutting and reveals. Nice job putting that video together with the choice of rocks, music, explaining the rocks, and the views on cutting. Your daughters find was amazing, and you did a great job finding the best place to cut. The one at 7:00, green and white mossy agate, was killer! The last chunk was crazy, I bet it would look incredible with a nice polish. Great video, Quest!
Thank you so much for your generous feedback! It's always a treat to explore, and this time was no exception. That gem at 7:00 comes from one of my earliest rockhounding adventures, long before I owned a saw. It's a little bit funny, but I can recall the general locations where all the stones in this video were discovered. They've been waiting patiently in my rock garden for their time to shine, and it was an absolute pleasure to share them with you.
Nice cuts! What kind of saw and blade do you use?
I'm using a thin sintered diamond saw blade from HiTech. Check it out here if you want.

Beautiful cuts man. I'll have to tag along one day or have you come out to the Illinois to Rockhound with the missus and I
Using a saw has really changed my hounding experience. What's neat is that some of these rocks are from years back, before I started cutting. I went through my collection and picked these out. It's great because we get to enjoy them from a totally different perspective. If you ever make it over to Oregon, there are some sweet spots to check out. I don't know anything about hounding in Illinois, so it would be fun to explore!
@@RockHoundQuest I'm in Oregon brother lol and so is the Illinois river. I live in Goldhill:). I know some spots like the Illinois river in cave junction area. That is always the best cutting rocks that you've had laying around for years. Love watching you cut them precious rocks man.
That's hilarious, dude! I totally misread and thought you were from Illinois. 🤣 Glad you enjoyed the video. ✌
@@RockHoundQuest lmao that is great. I think people see the Illinois part and just go from there😂. Of course brother.
