My parents were Rockhounds when I was a kid in the 60s. We lived in the Mojave desert of California but traveled to other states. We had our own lapidary workshop. I absolutely loved it, I licked alot of rocks as a kid
That last one is really beautiful
It was a pleasant surprise!!
The yellow in that seam agate is crazy. Just wow very cool😎
It's pretty cool! Thanks for watching!
I see patterns and shapes in that seam agate. Beautiful!
The banded churt is the prettiest I’ve ever seen.
That's a cool one right! Thanks for watching!
That seam agate and plumb agate would make some beautiful rings.
I was thinking the same thing!!!
That is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
So neat. Yes for sunshine!!!
💯💥
Seus vídeos são lindos eu gosto muito querido.
Beautiful vídeo my dear friend...😍
Thank you!!! 🙏
That seam agate is beautiful with all that color
Thanks Cindy! Can't wait to go back and get more! Thanks for watching!
Whoo hoo! Your not wrong...amazing!
Looks like a water colour painting very nice!
Yep definitely get back there 👍
Definitely will be going back for more! Thanks for watching!
Most beautiful rock I've ever seen. That seam agate. Reminded me of the old phycedelic hippy days.
Wow!! That's a big statement!! I totally understand the hippy psychedelic comparison. Totally see it!
Love that Seam Agate! Nice Shamrock too.
Thanks Judy!!
They are all beautiful but the seam agate is totally awesome 👍😀
Thanks so much 😊
That 3rd rock is breathtaking
yep! I was really surprised and happy with how it turned out! Thanks for watching!!
I love seam agate. You should definitely go back there for more.
Thanks Sean! We definitely will be!
The "mossy plume" agate was spectacular. The seam agate looked like an impressionist painting. Ain't it grand when there aren't any fractures.
Thanks Todd! You are absolutely right. Not having fractures opens up the possibilities of what you can do with the rock. Thanks for watching!
Cutting videos are my favorite
We've got lots of them and more coming!! Thanks for watching!!
They are beautiful, I agree the last was the best
💯
Love the sounds of the saw cutting and water spraying. Really awesome pieces, great work on the cutting.
Thank you very much!
You are a true rocker!
The seam agate is spectacular!
🙏😀
Yay, time to cut the Lobster Agates!!! The seam is insane, seriously fabulous, my jaw is officially dropped. It's exciting to think there's more of that out there. You're stoked!
Oh yeah! I'm totally stoked!!! Already planning the next trip!
That last piece, the sea agate, was mesmerizing! There were a hundred different worlds in that one rock, I could spend hours looking at this. What an artist Mother Nature is. Loved this!!
I literally screamed when you unveiled the "moss agate." And then you revealed the seam agate.... I JUST CAN'T EVENNNNNNN! Breathtaking. Seriously. It took my breath away.
Thanks Kate! Glad you liked them. The Moss agate is more of a plumey jasper but I stuck with the local terminology. I have a lot of the Moss agate if you ever want to trade. I have to go back and get more of the seam agate.
@@RockhoundingLife I wondered about the plumey jasper, but then I figured I just didn't know Nova Scotia rocks. :)
@@RockhoundingLife Keep up the good work! :)
There's so much going on with that Lobster-hole seam. I could gaze at it, for hours ! You guys worked really hard for that stuff. Well deserved !
Oh man did we ever work hard! Over an hour hike back with packs full of rocks! Thanks for watching!
Stunning! That last one is amazing. Hope you van make some nice jewelry.
Thank you! Cheers!
That seam agate is amazing
Thanks! 💯🔥
Such awesome rocks. Great job. Enjoy your videos as I'm from South Dakota prairie. Very beautiful country.
Thank you Sharon! I'm glad you are enjoying our content!!
Loved them all, glad to see them cut. I like the seam agate best. Be safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
😊 thanks for watching!
Awesome rocks!!!
Thanks you!!!
Wow!!! Even the Chert is beautiful!!!!
The chert is some of my all time favorite material! Thanks for watching!
The chert was great the seam agate was superb thanks for sharing what you are doing
You are so welcome!
The color in that seam agate was just great.
I was pleasantly surprised!
That seam agate is the most beautiful rock I've ever seen!❤
Wow!! Thank you!!
love the seam agate
Thank you!
That banded chert has some smart colouring to it...don't know why I think of Gucci lol That hike was well worth the effort for those results, gorgeous agates indeed! There's so much choice in that one slab alone, it would be hard to find a favourite spot on it :)
Totally! It's a big piece so lots going on! Thanks for watching!
Wonderful Specimens👍
🙏
Incredible details!
💯. Thanks for watching!
Awesome!
💯🙏
the 7 + is a great rock, cool video, have a good day
Thanks my friend! 🤙
Man that lobster hole seam agate is a heavy hitter! Absolutely amazing. So much going on I can stare at that piece all day long. Awsome job!
Thanks Ivan! It's becoming one of our favorite places. Definitely going back this summer!
Beautiful!
Thanks Jim!
Stunning pieces
Thank you!
That seam agate was amazing! What a great find
Thank you!
That last one was a huge rock to cut and you did an amazing job with it. What a nice pattern inside. It looks so good rough I can't imagine when it's polished and even more beauty is brought out.
Thanks Kim! I think this one is a good candidate for the vibratory lap. Have you been using yours?
Lovely material indeed!
Thanks bro! I need to go get more!
Wow aw aw aw wooooooohhhh.
😀🙏
dude that last one is just wild, its amazing how solid they are with no fracturing. Mind blowing rocks!!! I love them all, but the big seam agate and the plume jasper agate are just works of art :)
That's the good thing about finding the source, no fractures. Going to look nice polished up.
What an awesome place! That seam agate is just lying around and you can just pick up what you want! How cool is that?
Yep!! Getting there is the hardest part.
Those are gorgeous specimens Jason! The seam agate was stunning. I had to sit down when you said you were considering including a piece for your 2K sub giveaway. Thank you for another great video. Happy hunting!
Thanks!! Yes the end slab will be included in a soon to be announced giveaway! Thanks for watching!
7:55 WOW
looking good..
Thanks!
Gorgeous stuff, the last rock when I first saw it made me think of some Pharoahs tomb with all it's artistic splendor. Magnificent piece.
Oh wow!! Cool analogy! Thanks for watching!
I would love a chunk of that seam agate. The color is so awesome and the patterns are something else. I wish that I knew that you had such beautiful agates there when my folks took a trip to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick,but I think it was in 1998, a little over a year before my dad passed. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.
You'll have a chance to get one. I'll be giving a piece of this one away in a soon to be announced giveaway!
So you doubled your subs in 6 months from 2k to over 4k?! Wowza! I can easily see why. You have great content and have a very friendly likeable personality. That's the most amazing banded chert I've ever seen and the turquoise colored chert too is pretty epic. Sad I missed my chance for giveaway on that mind blowing wicked cool plume agate. Love the yellows running through it. Excellent video. Cheers! 😁👍
Thank you so much! We are just thankful that there are enough people out there who enjoy watching us nerd out on rocks!!
Awesome rocks as always! Congrats on 2000+ subs
Thanks Kate!
It may me think a colline were the apaches were attaking the cowboys in this Famous westerns movies!
😀 I can see that!
Great video
🤙
The seam agates in your area are amazing.
Yeah man we are pretty lucky! It's a bit of a trek to get there but we'll worth it!
they all turned out beautiful! i did have my doubts about them when you guys picked them up,, i learned my lesson
That big seam agate didn;t look like much when I picked it up. Glad I kept it!
Great cuts! #coolbeans
Thanks Tim!
Amazing looking!! Awesome 👌 work!!!! Love the Channel!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video!!!
By far the most beautiful seam agate I’ve ever seen! So awesome!
Thanks Cheryl!
That looks like a heart in the first piece of cut ploom agate
I can see it! Good eye!
There's a little mossy person in the left turquoise slab you were holding 😁
Amazing video my friend!!
You did a great job, good for you!
Beautiful rocks!!
Keep up the good work you're doing!!
I just signed up for your channel!!
Greetings from Greece!!
Thank you very much and welcome to the channel!
Man, that last one is amazing. I’m new to the rock hounding and I love you content.
Thanks Jeff! That last one surprised me too!! Wasn't expecting that!!
that last agate looks like cake-
Ha! Lots of colors going on. Thanks for watching!!
Beautiful seam! So much detail and colors! Love the video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
That Seam Agate needs to have "Splendid" added to the front-end of the name! I will definitely try to get in on the 2K give-away... and if that doesn't work I may need to send some $$$ out there for a slice (or an entire piece, :-))?
I will go back for more. I'm giving the end piece away in the giveaway and the rest i'm going to polish and put on display in my cabinet. I'll get more though and make it available when I set up our etsy or ebay store.
WOWOWOW!
🙏
That’s awesome that last one was very beautiful! I was actually just at an agate plume claim that has the same colorings!! I’m still cleaning rocks up and cutting and polishing some this weekend! Love the rocks, just subscribed.
Thanks a lot! And thanks for checking us out!
That last piece was unbelievable! Would love to see it polished?
I'm on it!!
The progress bar called the seam agate, sea maggot!
Man, I really love that Chert or Churt. Can that be found 🤔 in any other lake area such as St Clair or Erie? The sea Agate is spectacular!!!
Jason! I’m here late but I’m here brother! Here we go!
Man how rad are rocks... honestly just rad. I like seeing the ones I don’t see over here. Real pretty. The chert is prettiness!
Oh man no cracks in the moss/plume! Rad!!!!! I’ve really learnt a lot from the lap club about cracks haha. So many of mine have cracks that mean lap work will be super hard unless they’re really small.
Ooopht! The seam goodness! Dude!
Really pretty Dude! Thanks heaps man for sharin, and say g’day to the boys mate!
I love chert. It's so under appreciated!
Stunning rock looking to purchase from you
I'm working on it!!
Do you ever cut them in a sphere? That last agate would be beautiful as a sphere!
I don't haveca sphere making machine. Someday maybe!!
Indonesian agate lovers monitor 😍😍♥️
Salute from Indonesia fire opal lover and crypto tron/Forsage tron community 😍😍😇👍🇲🇨
🤙💯
I love you're videos! Do you by any chance offer cutting services? A couple months ago, I found a huge chunk of moss agate at Blue Beach that I'd love to have sawn. It's about 8x8 inches, and too large for my poor old saw lol.
Love this. Where can I find a mini version of the saw? Thanks for sharing!
The saw used in this video is an old core cutting saw built in the 70's. But hi-tech diamond sells very affordable beginner saws, 6" and 10". The link to their website is in the description of this video. Good luck!!
Epoxy onto light box
Not moss agate in BC either....beautiful
🙏
Great video! Can you provide information on your saw? Thanks!
The saw used in this video is an old mercury 14" core cutting saw. It's a bit awkward to use as you can see in the video. Not really practical for cutting slabs but it's the biggest saw I can get my hands on locally.
If your diamond blades are doll you can peenin them with a rasp medium to large size steel file by striking the blade with the edge of the rasp I found that striking it every 16th of an inch or so all the way around the blade is grate
I've tried that. It works for a bit
Awesome but slabs!!!
💯🙏
I’ve been trying to find a larger saw like yours what kind of saw is that and where could I pick one up if you don’t mind my asking?
The saw I used in this video is a 14" core cutting saw that was made in the 1970's. You can't buy them anymore.
How thin can you cut them the last one would make a great pendent
There are no fractures so with a slab saw probably pretty thin. The blade on the saw is used is pretty thick.
How much does a saw like that cost and where do you buy them?
The saw I used in this video is a 14" core cutting saw made in the 70's. You can't buy them anymore. Something similar these days would be in the order of 1000's of dollars.
what is the brand name for your rock saw
The one from this video is an old mercury core cutting saw from the 70's.

What is “seam agate”?
Seam agate is Chalcedony that is deposited in fractures rather than nodules
What saw it this?
The saw used in this video is an old top cut 14" Mercury saw from my work. Built in the 70's
Thanks
Any other laboratory equipment you recommend?
Every time I hear someone say seam agate I swear they are saying sea maggot...
bad cuts.
How so?
Is there a way to get in touch with you, either by email or phone? Nearing retirement and want to get into rock cutting and polishing. Would really appreciate advice!
