Cutting Your Rocks...Or NOT
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2022
- There are some rocks I have collected that I will NEVER cut. They speak for themselves and are deserving of a spotlight piece of real estate on my display shelf. Then there are the rocks I lose sleep over until I can cut them...spending an enormous amount of time I probably don't have pondering the orientation of the cut and what beauty lies beneath the surface. Come along and watch my process!
Rock On!

Having to pick my jaw off the floor. Stunning rocks and the colours were sooo pretty. And i totally agree with you some rocks dont need cutting just a polish and they are good. Some rocks just under the rough hide they have are just beautiful with the outer layer removed. And i love the microscope views. So pretty. They look like paintings.
Than you Kim for taking the time to show us your passion and the beautiful rocks you find. Just blown away😮
What a wonderful comment James, thanks for making my day 😊
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Oh the beautiful of the micro world!!! Gratitude for being brought along on the journey!
I am blown away with just what I can see of your collection right here! My jaw is dropping! Amazing! 😀
Thank you 😊
Some things in life ? Needs never to be changed! Their beauty is so precious
Love the rocks with the oils, such stunning colors!
9mths ago- A Blast From The Past. They are all Beautiful Creations.
Cutting a rock just takes you into a whole different mysterious world. I could stare into those depths forever. Great video K.
Using the microscope is a video game changer. All the little nebulas and galaxies you've revealed was very pleasing.
Was that a smile I saw on Drogons face now that he has a full belly.
As always, some wonderful eye candy
@ around 1:39 that jasper agate looks like a knight riding on a dragon 🐉 it is so awesome. !!!
I love hanging out with you..EASILY my fav channel!!
You have the best eye picking rocks, no one is even near to you! I agree, you should not cut every rock. Those jasp/agates are ment to be polished and enjoyed as they are. Congrats you make me happy on every video but also envious, dream to go to Montana!
Thank you for watching Camilo, and leaving such a wonderful comment. Definitely brought a silly happy smile to my face ☺️
I sure am fascinated by your microscope pics. They reveal a different world about these rocks we love!
@8:44 this is why amygdaloidal basalt called "galaxy stone"! BEAUTIFUL little universes in there! I Love this stuff. Like some chert, it is highly UNDER rated!! Thanks for sharing! Great video as always! #keeponkeepinon
I am amazed how pretty some of the rocks are inside that I would have stepped over because they looked plain on the outside. You have a good eye for this.
The last two were absolutely beautiful
I liked when you put the rocks under the microscope! SOOO beautiful!!! 💜💜💜
That last slab I could almost see the word "Joy" written in the stone. Amazing!!!
My favorite was the last one you cut! I love seeing inside the rocks you find. And the microscope certainly brings out the beauty!
The slab at the 9:36 mark had Fabulous BLUE ~ Amazing Blue which had me Drooling.. You found so many beauties with fortification Banding.. Love the Eyes as well Drogon does need to be balanced because most of the slabs had wave saw marks... But I Love BLUE..
Always magical to see the slabs under the microscope. Thanks Kim.
Fantastic! I just love seeing what's inside these gorgeous stones. Thank you.👍👍👍👍👍
You and Theo have the greatest eye for rockhounding. I love the colors you go for. They look like great works of art.
That reddish Montana agate…. Am I the only person that sees an erupting volcano??

Everything was just beautiful but I found the most beauty at the beginning and at the end of the rockshow and both were images of you, Our Beautiful RockMom♥
You're so kind 😇 I hope you are doing well... 💗
Doing wonderful, in Indiana@@MontanaRockMom
Your last rock just got better and better
The first slab had me thinking to follow just around the outside of the curve and make a cabachon
All I can say is wow!!!! Love them all. 💕 I totally agree on the no cuts too.
The struggle is real when it comes to cutting some rocks for sure!!!!! I love the sorting tubs too, great idea for new finds
🤘🤪🤘
Kim and the toys in her garage; what an awesome combination! Once again, the views from the microscope are incredible. Seeing that first one especially was like looking into another world.
Absolutely gorgeous! And I love the microscopic views, especially that amygdaloidal basalt with the copper! If I remember correctly, you tentatively identified the coprolite when you found it in the gravel. You sure know your rocks! Thank you for feeding Drogon.
I loved them all! You and Drogon make a pretty good team. All the colors, banding, swirls, the galaxies in the stone are mesmerizing. I like the one around 13:00. Thank you for sharing the first look anyone has ever had inside those beauties. The micrographs and wording overlays were cool and helpful Keep the fun coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
That looked like gold in that second rock you cut I like the windows especially the blues!
Sometimes there's even specs of gold in my agates that I notice after polishing
Love watching the cuts. I’m glad some are left alone. Thanks.😀
Hello, Always great viewing of spectacular rocks... If you truly throw some away, I would absolutely love to have them... Thank You as always my friend... 🌲🦅🦉🦅🌲
* You have such wonderful BLUE.. I would cut & polish that forever.. So good to have rocks for Winter cutting.. Thanks for Sharing.. ~ The blue at the 8:53 mark was Stunning.. I'm Drooling.. ~ One of your cuts was very near a "growth" mound like a beginning Stalagmite.. So Cool..
Love the colors under the microscope, especially the second rock!
GOSH.....😁😄 as usual SO HARD to pick....intriguing patterns on ALL slabs GOD 🎨
Those for polishing Heart ❤💙💜💖 to see someday for sure.
INSPIRED TO 🎨🖌 again.....
BIG GALLERY SQUARE CANVASES
THEN RESIN OVER THICK GLAZE
SHINEY FINISH....
💋😘 MORE MORE MORE & MORE
GO MRM 🌟🤩⭐
I love it 🎨🖌🥰
the agatizied algae rock reminds me of brain matter. So cool!
The last one reminds me of the painting The Scream by Edvard Much.
Oh, my garsh! Thank you for the microscopic images. They are so absolutely mesmerizing!
Very inspiring, gets my artistic juices going! Some of the microscope shots would make great photo's to blow up as framed prints. They also give me ideas for paintings. I would love to be a fly on your shoulder. Great stuff!!!!
🥰😘😘
Your finds are jaw dropping!! SO gorgeous. Us 2 old folks are headed to Montana this summer for 2-3 weeks to rockhound. Please leave some for us 😂 Its only April 1st, we’re not coming until June and I’m so flipping excited I can hardly wait. #BestVacayEver
Thank goodness you don't feed all your rocks to Drogon. The very first one you cut was my absolute favorite today. Thank you for sharing.
I love watching your adventures and the microscope is fascinating. Is it just me or does the last rock in this clip show the letters MOM in the middle. The white part of the rock. Pretty awesome!!
That rough brecciated rock cut looks like a James Webb Telescope image! 😀
Obviously you know what my favorite one was!! Gotta save the best for last. M.R.M. pro rock slicer! 🏆
I enjoyed this video a lot, what a great job you have!!!
I'm glad I slept in today, got to watch this with my coffee. Such pretty, pretty stuff. While it had probably the least amount of stuff going on, I think that one you cut around the 13:00 mark was my favorite. Thanks for the morning show. Now I have to go and be productive, but at least one of my morning chores is checking one of my tumbling barrels which makes up for everything else (almost).
You have a good eye for rocks!!!! Some don't need cut.
Great episode and great work!
I've never been slabbed have you?? 😂 LOL.... Great video as always.
I love how clean Drogon is! Most rock saws are filthy 🙂
LOVED this video!! It fits with my OBSESSIVE slabbing here in Las Cruces for sure!
It's so hard to stop slabbing for the day ... you just want to cut 1 more rock... just 1 more....OK, this is going to be the last one....OK I can fit in a couple more...
Outstanding and nicely done closeups, WOW!!!
Totally stunning xxx
Love them all
Really loved when looking in Microscope!! Its like looking out in space with galaxes and planets! Eye candy!!🤩🤩🤩
Wowo wow those close ups are amazing 🤩
Those were all phenomenal. And under the microscope, mind blowing. It's artwork.
I guess the last one was my favorite!
Those cuts were beautiful! It's always a hard decision to know what to do with certain rocks. 🤔 You made great choices. 👍 Thanks for such an in-depth look into those unusual rocks from those great beds of your wondrous Yellowstone River. You are the best, MRM. Rock on and happy hunting. 😊
I could have watched a couple more hours of that! Especially love the
microscope shots!
Amazing! So many unique rocks. Love the microscopic views!
Kim, I liked it all.
Watching this is very relaxing like ASMR. Amazing material as always Kim.
You have to be the lucky isthmus rock founder ever. Thank you.
Wow, that weird buzzy metal alarmer was magical under the microscope.
Cutting your stone good job my friend👍
Omg, going hunting today. You have motivated me. Will take my time, take my dog Max, and a picnic for us both.
Best plan ever!!!!! I love it. Pet Max for me.
wow I'm amazed by your finds you truly are very lucky our areas here to find Tennessee painted agate is mostly privately owned so to find agate at all is rare I live in a Ordovician area that's full of fossil you are my gateway to beautiful agate and pet wood Rock on MRM!
I love fossils! I'm not too good at finding those!
@@MontanaRockMom I'm currently cleaning 3 of my recent finds I'll post pictures of them shortly if you would like to take a look
That amygdaloidal basalt is gorgeous. The copper in the vesicles are amazing. I dont know what that one rock was with all the pattern but its amazing. The agate with all the eyes is really interesting. The agate after with the fortification banding is awesome. my favorite was the last one. So cool! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful 😍
Wow. So amazing. I'm gonna have to get a saw.
New to your channel.WOW your so GORGEOUS!And so knowledgeable!
Mind blown. Huge boulders of Montana agates. Use to Lake Superior red agates, green moss agates,. Heard of 35 pounds up in the Minnesota iron range. Montana is unbelievable. Thank you for sharing. Makes me want to plan a week out there.
😍😍😍😍😍 beautiful rock
Beautiful
Wow❤
Such a great video! My favorite actually was the one you said might be just pale inside. It was so pretty! Thanks for all you do! xoxo
That was my favorite too! I am so glad I kept that one! I would have never guessed it was full of plant material
That agate is flipping amazing!!!
Very informative good luck 🤞
😃..des couleurs magnifiques et sublimées au microscope...🤩🤩🤩
Looks like a sunrise over a mountain. That agate
Yes it does!
I don't blame you. I wouldn't cut it either (2:57) You have some beautiful finds there!!!
Show 👏👏👏👏👏👍
Hola Amiga para que tengas mas ideas de que linda es la piedra por dentro cortala por la mitad❤
Have you thought about a stand of sorts to hold your slabs when filming? 🤭 sitting them on something for temporary display, after cutting, while you filmed, would reduce the bouncing around trying to hold a recording device at the same time? Love the rocks, and I wish I lived closer to an area that I could find some 🤭...rock on, Mom 😁🌻🦁
I liked the don't cut the rocks as much as the cut the rocks video parts. It would be interesting to see how you polish the specimens.
Montana mom hello from Tennessee!
You ask for suggestions ... Be more patient!
It Will come. You'll be able to handle it!
A lot of beautiful cuts. Especially under the microscope
Thanks Leona
SWEET L@@KING slabs, the ones under the scope looks like something from outer space ..
Amazing !
Very cool.
💙💙💙💙
I understand where you’re coming from. Some rocks are not meant to be cut. They are so beautiful and if you cut them you’ll just damage the beauty. I’m glad you think that way.
I used to cut slabs for sale on eBay. 7mm thick is perfect for cabs.
I need to visit Montana .. never been anywhere west of me
Go west my friend! 🐎🐎🐎
The piece at the 15:30 mark looks like a Stalagmite formation. Cool.. It actually looks like Crazy Lace Agate..
Agatized stalagmites are so cool!
Inside of arts.
I need to send you something to feed Drogon…
great mom
Love your introduction. What do you do with all your rocks? I can only dream of finding stuff like that. Thx for the great eye candies.
