      The pre-sphere from the saw makes a particular racket. But in the end, it's smooth and quiet.

    Love the creation and craftsmanship to make it into a small little creation. That so cool. I like want some of my own now after seeing those, those are awesome. Love the detail, keep up the videos Guy, love em. 🎉❤

      The steep learning curve for my editing software is finally paying dividends! These newest ones are fun to watch.

    didnt realize you make your own abrasives for your sphere machine, im impressed

      The diamond resin pads are for polishing granite countertops, but they are easy to cut into usable pieces.

    That came out so nice Granite Guy, and some neat material at the quarry too, did you bring any more pieces out? And what is that in the background at 1:08? The grey and white stuff? It's very neat looking, does it take a polish?

    • @GraniteGuy
      @GraniteGuy  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The dark stuff with white polka dots is granite (technically a granitoid). It was raining so the schist went black as ink and the feldspar and quartz jumps out. An upcoming video will show that stuff being sphered for a subscriber in Kentucky.

    Beautiful piece! I love the pink and green together. Do you sell these or are they just a personal collection?

    • @GraniteGuy
      @GraniteGuy  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've given away more than half the spheres I've made. My personal collection in the jars consists of the spheres I've kept (the best ones, I think).

      I've given them to family, neighbors, mineral club pals, and donated them to fund-raising raffles and auctions. But it's true, I've never given one to you, my first subscriber. Do you want me to sphere the rose quartz specimen you gave me? It'll be a small 30mm (1.2") sphere, but I bet it's pretty.

    Nice moon rocks! Do you look at these with a microscope?

    • @GraniteGuy
      @GraniteGuy  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't have access to a microscope.
      The quarry is blasting and breaking these rocks from the miles deep and wide igneous bedrock that underlies the entire Ammonoosuc River. Some of the cracks in the bedrock filled over the millennia with green epidote and pink calcite resulting in this pretty marble.
      The rocks in this video are of terrestrial origin.
