    Having to pick my jaw off the floor. Stunning rocks and the colours were sooo pretty. And i totally agree with you some rocks dont need cutting just a polish and they are good. Some rocks just under the rough hide they have are just beautiful with the outer layer removed. And i love the microscope views. So pretty. They look like paintings.
    Than you Kim for taking the time to show us your passion and the beautiful rocks you find. Just blown away😮

    I'm glad I slept in today, got to watch this with my coffee. Such pretty, pretty stuff. While it had probably the least amount of stuff going on, I think that one you cut around the 13:00 mark was my favorite. Thanks for the morning show. Now I have to go and be productive, but at least one of my morning chores is checking one of my tumbling barrels which makes up for everything else (almost).

    Have you thought about a stand of sorts to hold your slabs when filming? 🤭 sitting them on something for temporary display, after cutting, while you filmed, would reduce the bouncing around trying to hold a recording device at the same time? Love the rocks, and I wish I lived closer to an area that I could find some 🤭...rock on, Mom 😁🌻🦁
