I love snow covered trees...😌 Those turned out beautiful. The brecciated jaspagate took my breath away! Nicely done Jason. Best wishes to you and the familam✨
Thanks Marlaina! Same to you and your family! This batch or rocks were a bit fractured but still like to tumble them. Better than just laying around the garage!
Quite an amazing array of beautiful rocks. You achieved a really depth of shine on each one of them. A beautiful job. Be safe, happy and stay healthy. 😷⚒
WOW!! They all turned out so amazing. I love the plume agates. They remind me of a galaxy! One you can hold in your hand. They have such depth to them. Well done Jason. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Just beautiful and I like the way you separated the agates by location found. The music was beautiful and appropriate too. As always, thanks for taking me along.
When i get a notification from your channel i grab my earbuds because i know you have the best listen while you watch music. Beautiful tumbles!! Looking forward to watching your channel grow in the soon coming year!
Lovely rocks ( the printer in the background kept cracking me up, though. Fancy!) Just watched your video from a year ago, when you were close to 1000 subscribers...channel is doing well! Enjoying catching up on all your adventures
Nice finds 😊 Would you ever consider cutting some larger specimens for people? We have a few we'd love to cut, but wouldn't use a diamond saw often enough to buy one.
* I was surprised that some of them didn't fracture.. Many had cracks that made them look ready to break pieces off or just crumble to pieces.. Glad you took the chance & tumbled them.. Can you use a Dremel to make holes to make pendants out of the ones with small vuggs??
That barrel for your rotary tumbler is looking a bit spent. Have you used one made out of tire rubber? If so, I'm curious if you've noticed any difference between that and a hard plastic one like you have (aside from the noise level). Beautiful stuff you have up there, I miss having a resource like that around. Thanks for sharing.
Hi I'm a new subscriber I find your videos really interesting as I would like to know/learn more about rocks/gemstones. Question: I found this very beautiful sunstone in reddish-pink and a beautiful carnelian agate and I really want to polish them but I don't have equipments . Do you have a video of how to polish stones at home without equipment??? Thank you 😊
Hi there and thanks for subscribing! To polish rocks you will need to by some type of equipment. There are cheap methods however. The best cheaper method is to use the polishing pads I show in some of my earlier polishing videos. They provide an amazing polish when used correctly and a pad set only costs $75. You can use the pads with a regular drill you have at home, or you can purchase a cheap drill for around $50. This will get you up an polishing rocks for pretty cheap.
I use 46/70 grit slicon carbide for stage 1 Rotary tumbler 120/220 for stage 2 Vibratory tumbler 500 aluminum oxide stage 3 vibratory tumbler 1200 aluminum stage 4 vibratory tumbler alumina polish stage 5 vibratory tumbler For a more in depth break down of my tumbling methods take a look at our tumbling rocks playlist. there are a few videos in there where I show the complete process start to finish.
The method I use for tumbling takes about 2 weeks start to finish on average. Sometimes longer if I really want to get all the imperfections out in the first stage.

Well done Jason. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I agree....i've always compares some of the plumes to little nebulas within rock. Makes you wonder......
Just beautiful and I like the way you separated the agates by location found. The music was beautiful and appropriate too. As always, thanks for taking me along.

These are a type of agate that I've never heard of before. Until now! They're awesome!! Thank you for sharing your finds!
Glad you like them! Not many people outside of Nova Scotia have heard or seen out agates.
The Dendridic Opal at the 13:42 mark is really unusual.. Nice to look at..
Yes, i've found a few nice pieces over the years. All on the smaller side though.

Yes this batch had a lot of fractures. One of the reasons why I didn;t try to make them perfect. Shine ended up being ok though
