  • After a couple of rockhounding trips in the creeks south east Queensland Australia, it’s time to look inside the stones and see what treasures are hidden. Join me while I use the tile saw to cut some of the many rocks, including Rhyolite (rainforest jasper), Moss Agates, Plume agates and more. You never know what you’ll find inside a rock.

    Carnelians are red,
    Sapphires are blue,
    I only wake on Fridays,
    To watch what Rookie will do! Haha🤓🐾
    Gooday brotha! What a day of cutting eh? You're really getting great at shaping those babies. Well, to be honest, I think you've done an amazing job from the start dude. Watching some of your past cuts have actually inspired me to start shaping stones myself. I aspire to make a tower someday out of...something cool Idk haha! But it's makes me happy watching what you come up with and is why I'm sending you some rough to play with in your package... Which I just officially sent dude!😁 There is also some stones I pre-shaped a little that I thought you'd like and could play with or give away...i just couldn't find the time to finish them myself. My saw blade is done for at the moment and I need new polishing pads...again! Haha Anyway, excited for you to get it. You're going to shoot me (not literally obviously) when you get it. It's heavy...☺
    But back to your viddy...
    2:50- I would absolutely call that a plume my friend. And boy is it magnificent!
    5:10- 100% plume ALL DAY!!! And hells yeah it looks like dragons fire 🔥 I'm nicknaming it Smaug🐉
    Now dude... I seriously love ALL of the rhyolite you find... You know that but... the one at 10:47- 💥BAM the colors are poppin! All the colors of nature in one stone 🌈 Wow!💖👌mwah! Stunning
    Cannot wait to see them all shining pretty✨ 2 more weeks... I'll be there😎 Cheers m8🐾

      MARLAINAAAAAA! Dude! So sorry for late response! I’m here now and just loved that first bit haha!
      Ohhhh yes! Your gonna shape your stones, it’s so much fun, I don’t know if they’re considered specimens or fancy paper weights but it’s so much fun, you wait mar. Tip I’ve learnt, the more flat sides the easier to polish hahaha! Buuuuuuuut you’ve got a cabbing machine now so that’s gonna make funky shapes so much easier to polish. Can’t wait to see what you come up with! Absolutely can’t wait M!
      Aye! Yes! The dragon from the hobbit!!!!! Okay the rock shall be henceforth known as Smaug. I love it cause it was the only book I’ve read of the series because the movies came out before I had a chance to read the others haha!
      I’m so so looking forward to the package! And there’s rough pieces in there! Oh and the chance to finish something you started is like a collaboration piece! I cannot wait.
      Unfortunately though, I think the polishing video is going to be pushed back cause I need more time haha! So I’m gonna do a small hunt video first. 🤪🤦‍♂️
      I really need to not say what the next video is hahaha! It will be coming though! It will!
      Sending much love to you and the family and just hope you’re all doing well. I genuinely massively mean it mar!
      Talk soon on the gram, probably tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🐺✨🍻

    It's always fun seeing what's inside, isn't it? I love all the agates/Chalcedony, but the rhyolites you spent some time talking about around 10:30 were really cool. I love fun patterns in the stone like that.

    • @Rookie_Rockounding
      @Rookie_Rockounding  4 роки тому +1

      Hey Rob!!! Yeah, man the Rhyolite can be so cool inside hey. I need to do a test on it and see what it’s mohs hardness is but most of the time it does take a polish it just might have patches where it doesn’t take a polish depending on what mineral and things are where. So scientific right haha! But fingers crossed they shine okay 😊

    All of those pieces are great, but the rhyolite is just extraordinary. Great cutting mate, they should polish up to great display pieces.
    Some feed back on my drive, Went for a short stint up the Albert, & Widgee Ck, a lot of time driving and very short search at the crossings. Zilch.
    I need to go back and spend more time searching & less time driving. Some lovely spots up there for a family day or short weekend trip.

      Ah yep, it’s a fare drive out there and I’ve found the river and creeks out there can change so much from having chalcedony and then not having any!? So strange, I can’t figure out why hey. It’s definitely a beautiful area though, it just would be nice to find something... I know that feeling hey. So sorry it didn’t work out for you! 🤦‍♂️😫

    I love rocks! I've been collecting them since I was a Child. My Grandchildren loved to bring Me beautiful Shapes & Colors or Any Rock they think I might like. My favorite ones are the Pinkish, Black, Greens & Browns. I have a few that I'd like to make into earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. I never could find any info on how to cut ordinary rocks until I started watching UA-cam videos. I love your beautiful rocks. You could make a sharp Pendant for a chain out of that square piece. Someone would love it! Just be sure to put on silver, gold or stainless steel (looks so good when polished). Thanks for the interesting videos.

    Ah, another Friday and lo and behold... fresh stone goodies from Rookie served up on a platter for us to digest early in the morning! 👍 Thanks for sharing your playtime on the saw my friend, always has been my favorite game in this hobby, that first look inside these beauties to see what magic lies within. 🎁 Exposing the hearts of those little treasures is not just a pastime, its a gift to be cherished and leaves us with memories that will be with you for all your days sir! The "dragons breath" plume piece is an example, those plumes truly do look like a type of fire being sprayed across the stone and a perfect example of discovery within the earth below our feet! 🤷‍♂️ haha Recently returned from another desert trip and two of the larger chunks turned out wayyyy better inside than the outside, one was completely a guess. Thank you for being who you are my friend and for sharing some of your world with us nerdy rock hungry UA-camrs😁✔ Kudos bromigo and hope you have a super weekend ahead! *drops mic*

    Awesome work mate. I just cant help but go Ohh and ahh when you show the hidden beauty in the rocks and I love the special way you share them with us..I hope soon we see jessie move toward some cabbing of these treasures..Food for thought, you can purchase diamond lap discs in a set of 4 varying grits for under 40dollars and I see no reason you cant use your speed controlled sander to drive them at a good manageable speed..A simple mount for the machine through the front handle threaded hole and away you go..Then finish polish on your current discs and some carpet with tin oxide and I think you will be very pleased.. love your show man..

      Oh man, to do cabs would be amazing, I like your idea, and recently Pauly actually got the same tool I have and rigged it up in his garage just like how you mentioned. I don’t have an inside place to set up a bench permanently so I need to figure out how to make a demountable thing. But I also need to make some dop stick out of dowel and then get some dip wax and give it a try at least on the machine I’ve got. Haha! Not sure how that’d go but definitely a great idea and food for thought Wayneo! One day I want a whole shed with all the gear in it... one day haha!
