  • During this lapidary adventure we are going to see what is inside Mexican agates! I cut open a few Coyamito agates as well as cut up a big chunk of Laguna lace agate. We wrap up the cuts by coming full circle and polishing a bunch of our beautiful gems!

      Pretty agates but they were unfortunately not good examples of Coyamito agates.
      They're usually full of a rainbow of brightly colored bands... they're my favorite.
      Try to Google pics of them.

    The third one "heart-shaped" looks like Renaissance art, Sistine Chapel ceiling scene, and even a sense of a tapestry....it is just stunning.

    The 3rd agate would make incredible tear drop earrings. Or 2 teardrop pendants. I don’t wear jewelry such as earrings. But love seeing them on others. I know many of females that would not hesitate to buy whatever you would make it into. Beautiful agates. Love this session of cutting agates.

    I enjoy your talking almost as much as I enjoy your results young man!! I use the diamond pads that attach to a drill. They're 4" in diameter so there's a large surface area to work in. For water, I just repeatedly dunk the rocks in water with a tad of soap added. I, too, get mirror finishes. Cost? $30.oo
