Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Yo Theo! As always...great presentation! Cutting rocks is a world of wonder isn't it? Thank you for your contribution to our hobby. Think of all the pebble pups and new hobbyists you are influencing. 👏
This is a good tutorial showing many different examples. Well done. Thanks for putting this together. I did a short video on directional material, which included Labradorite and Obsidian, however, there are many other materials that refract similarly. Have a nice weekend.
This is such a great tutorial Theo! That last Montana agate blew my mind! Thanks for sharing, you have been more help to me in my journey than you could ever know ❤
* I love the Eye-opening explanations for your cuts. The Dark Agate with the Electric Blue was Stunning. The one with whisps of lime green was Awesome.. You had so much Variety to use and it was FUN. Thanks, Theo.
Hiya Theo, awesome video and great job on.....the how to cut stones. And your right, it's what you want out of the stones. I've cut pet wood different ways depending on what I want my cab to look like. I hope you have a awesome blessed day. Cya! 😺🐟 out!
Man it's hard to find a favorite in all those. The one that surprised me most was the dark agate, super pleased with that one. I think I'll just have to say they are all amazing God's work is amazing!!
Thank you Theo! I don’t have cutting equipment, however, if I was going to have a piece cut for me, I’ll have a better idea how I would like it done! Yes! Laboradorite is one of my favorite pieces!! I would be thrilled with that video. I’m sure it will be great!! 🪨🤘
When I get a sweet small patterned slab, the next cut is usually thin for use as earrings in matching sets and then maybe more. Also start thru the best lapidary material to end with the "butt" having the matrix baking it, not included in every slab. keep 'em coming.
Wow! Theo! If i did not live in an apartment building, i would have a she shed just to build my rock empire. I have a ton of rocks that i find, but i can't do much with them. So, i hold on to them in hopes that i can slab my rocks and make a rock salad of sorts. I thank you for the much needed education!
Love the video Theo, I saw a video about petrified heart stones and the slabs looked just like many of your agates. Medical Biology books might overlap lapidary books. Keep up the great work.
Wow that was a great video. And ironically enough I was just asking myself how do I cut these rocks.? Hello behold your video shows up for me thank goodness. Great stuff you got talents . New subscriber
Great video, thanks for the fantastic cutting information! Cannot pick a favorite because they are all absolutely gorgeous.🤩 Tell that agatized wood, No Soliciting!😅 I would love to see a cutting tutorial on how to place and cut labradorite, other feldspars and/or any rocks with chatoyancy. Thanks for another awesome video Theo!✌️🤠🤘
18:3218:33 this waterline agate has an incredible amount of banding , too many to count, and barely visible! It’s mind blowing neat that they’re almost more thin than fingerprints!
Excellent Video Brother!!! Your Eyes are a lovely tool... Best of both hmm I'd say best of all worlds of slab~bing cha~ching lol 😊 Thank You for sharing Your Knowledge........ ❤🤘👍❤
Cabal it down cutting any Rock depends on what you want to do with it and what experience you have built up along the way cutting. You must got some rocks and then you're on your own and that is the only way to know how to cut a rock.
Can stuff like this be found in your back/front yard or on the road some where or no I’m a city person we don’t get much of the rivers n forests lol hahah 💙🔥🍻💪😎
Because of you I’ve been collecting lil tiny rocks lol I feel like a giggly lil kid lol I don’t know anything lol there probably gravel hahahahahha you got me wanting to learn n I like it I’m watching other UA-camrs now too but your number one
1:56 okay seeing all these rocks makes me think that all rocks mostly are a peice of history but everyone just kickes them around as “rocks” and not even think twice that it might be a treasure or do these rocks come fone only rivers and known treasure spots? I don’t know anything about anything just wondering also do u use oil or water
Very informative and useful! But please stop shoving the stone at the camera, its very hard to watch. Closeups are great! but a little less enthusiastically!

Thanks for this!
Thank you so much this is great
Oooh definitely make pretty cabochons montana agates
Woo hoo 😊
love watching these videos. crazy question. what would a box of 10 random slabs cost?
Big fan of the bear canyon!
18:32 18:33 this waterline agate has an incredible amount of banding , too many to count, and barely visible! It’s mind blowing neat that they’re almost more thin than fingerprints!
I just need to learn to be a rock whisperer....😊
What was the turtle back went too fast😂 thank you so much for sharing your beautiful rocks ❤️
Wow agatized wood. Splice would make a great cabochon
Yes I would love to know how to cut labradorite
Labradorite! Yes please! :D
Can you try? Or have you tried foam on your wood clamp boards or skateboard grip tape the rubber ones to help hold the rocks in 10:26
What kind of adhesive do you use to glue rocks to the boards?
😂 lol the green from the oil makes some stones look odd specially the drusy and crystals 😮😮
Excellent Video Brother!!! Your Eyes are a lovely tool... Best of both hmm I'd say best of all worlds of slab~bing cha~ching lol 😊 Thank You for sharing Your Knowledge........ ❤🤘👍❤

What you called turtle back ?? is that a botroidal pocket that was filled in
The first waterline agate , looks like there might be some iris in the bottom.
How do I get a cheap rock saw
Can stuff like this be found in your back/front yard or on the road some where or no I’m a city person we don’t get much of the rivers n forests lol hahah 💙🔥🍻💪😎
Because of you I’ve been collecting lil tiny rocks lol I feel like a giggly lil kid lol I don’t know anything lol there probably gravel hahahahahha you got me wanting to learn n I like it I’m watching other UA-camrs now too but your number one

I don’t know anything about anything just wondering also do u use oil or water
Why dont you make a giant dop stick
I love agates.
The rock looked liked there was writing in it, did it spell anything?
So these are millions of years or just thousands or hundreds
Very informative and useful! But please stop shoving the stone at the camera, its very hard to watch. Closeups are great! but a little less enthusiastically!
Thanks for the info! Amazing rocks.
