    This is a good tutorial showing many different examples. Well done. Thanks for putting this together. I did a short video on directional material, which included Labradorite and Obsidian, however, there are many other materials that refract similarly. Have a nice weekend.

  • @ResortDog
    @ResortDog ปีที่แล้ว

    When I get a sweet small patterned slab, the next cut is usually thin for use as earrings in matching sets and then maybe more. Also start thru the best lapidary material to end with the "butt" having the matrix baking it, not included in every slab. keep 'em coming.

  • @alloveradventures3347
    @alloveradventures3347 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love the video Theo, I saw a video about petrified heart stones and the slabs looked just like many of your agates. Medical Biology books might overlap lapidary books. Keep up the great work.

    Cabal it down cutting any Rock depends on what you want to do with it and what experience you have built up along the way cutting. You must got some rocks and then you're on your own and that is the only way to know how to cut a rock.
