  • I love cutting rocks, but sometimes, theres highs and others theres lows. We're cutting (self collected), rocks I was too scared to cut and rocks that are too big for my tile saw. Whats inside is up to nature and already set in stone.

    Jesse, I want to point out what seems obvious to me, and I'm sure others will agree. The reason so many of us watch your content isn't just because of the cool rocks you find. It's because you have a wonderful personality that shines through and a kind and tender heart. You take us on adventures that most of us could never experience ourselves. We get to be excited with you when you find beautiful rocks filled with mystery. And your reactions are great! We don't expect every rock to be as beautiful on the inside as the outside, but we are hoping for your sake it will be. We're happy for you when it is, and sad for you when it isn't. We do not blame you when a cut is wrong or a rock is a dud. What I'm trying to say is, just relax and be you. That's what keeps us coming back. I hope this encourages you. Great video, as always. God loves you!

      Funny thing is is when I finished editing this video I realised the commentary in this video was probably something that I needed to hear rather than anyone else 😬🤦‍♂️😁 it was like I was telling myself to chill and just enjoy the process.

      Thank you for this video. Long time coming but well worth it. As a fellow rockhound and woodworker we need to remember that nature is an artist and sometimes what we see as a dud, to someone else it is a priceless gem. Enjoy what you are doing and sharing with all of us. Looking forward to the next instalment.

    Had to watch it as soon as I was notified. Like that guy on the bench said, rocks are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get, 😂😂, isn’t that what he said. Those pieces that I cut were exactly that, not what was expected but some great surprises and unpredictable results. I have to admit that sometimes the cutting is half the fun.
    Seriously enjoyed the video with some of those pieces you showed with Ian & Locky just stunning. From beginning to end just enjoyed the video & your commentary. Keep safe & Keep Rockin.

Your videos are always worth watching. Ok enough pissin in your pocket. 😂😂. Happy to help cutting those pieces.

Im really late to the video and i doubt seriously, that you will see or read this comment, but man Jesse, you really are a gem in this field of rocks! Your attitude, your contemplation, your ability to adapt and learn, and boince back from adverse situations. And none of those things are just rock related. Its who you are. And the way you take the lessons you learned from a cut of a rock, that was not what you expected, and turned it into a life lesson and you move forward from it! You really are a gem!❤ Thanks for being you Jesse.

    Great video bud. I haven’t been into rockhounding and lapidary for long. What I have learned in this past year is something that applies in everything. Everyone is an individual even when they share interests. What I see in or about a rock isn’t going to be the same for everyone. For example I have been finding a lot of fossil death plates lately and I think they’re cool but there’s many people that like them more than me so I have been giving them to them. Gave some to Karen (ozonefinearts) and joined her on her last live. You do what makes you happy and enjoy the rocks that you love and are inspired by.

    • @Rookie_Rockounding
      @Rookie_Rockounding  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Oh man that’s so rad JnV! Dude death plates are super cool! But I get what you mean. It’s funny how everyone is drawn to different rocks and minerals and fossils for a whole bunch of different reasons hey. I love that about rockhounds and rocks. It’s all about what picks your curiosity and makes your brain excited right 😊🙏

    I think this is the first time I’m commenting on one of your videos, but I have been watching from the sidelines for years. I watch and rewatch videos, or just have my favorites on in the background while I’m studying or painting….
    You are my FAVORITE rockhound, and this is my FAVORITE little corner of the Internet.
    I legitimately get SO excited to see you post.
    After I saw on IG today that you had uploaded this cutting video, I structured my entire evening around watching it.
    Part of what makes rockhounding so fun is that you NEVER know what you’re going to get out of it! Truthfully, I want to see all the cuts-the good, the great, and the not-so-great! It’s all part of it and I just love being there for the ride.
    I know that editing is a challenge and the pressure of expectations is a a bigger one. I’m so grateful that we still get to experience moments like these with you.
    Thank you, for everything.

    Listening to you and your journey inspires others including me to stop second guessing ourselves and do it take that gamble explore and share.
    I am part of a group of fellas who do a fossicking trip once a year.
    Yes we find stuff but more importantly it gives us all a space to learn, decompress and heal each year.
    I have bags of stuff we have found which I have never known what to do.
    But I can tell you just about where each on come from and the little bit of the story that happened around each one.
    You have inspired me to finally build my bench to turn these rocks into something else and put them up for the next stage of their journey.
    Can't thank you enough.

    You are spot on about being filled with wonder. Some I just like to hold and ponder. Maybe I will cut it. Maybe I won't. The rock will ultimately call to you and tell you where to cut it. We just have to live with our choices. Either way, we get to see something we never would have seen until we cut them open. Its always fun to hear which rocks people like after i cut or polish them. Everyone likes and sees different things. Hahaha, and then there are those that everyone agrees is a stunner! Like that one you found three years ago and decided to cut 😁 There were a couple agates I saw thar you guys cut that were perfect with no cracks or imperfections. Lucky finds. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the cuts. Fantastic video, Jesse. 🤘😁

    I love lockies lion head stone, well at least that’s what it looks like to me. Hard to know when to cut and when not too, I’ve been disappointed a lot cutting them, but then some, well those some make it worth while. Thanks for sharing

    Those are beautiful in every way. I have rocks that I'm waiting to cut, but I've waited 4 years for trim blades that I need to save for. Ill be so happy when I do. I love watching you very much. Best wishes on your next hunt. You are inspiration to me.

    Your honesty and misgivings touch all of us when we have to decide what to do with a rock. I have mentioned this before, but it bears repeating...it's the journey into the unknown and the discoveries along the way. Sometimes, as in life, we are awed and sometimes we are disappointed. That's all party of being human mate! But my gosh do you have an eye for finding some jaw dropping rocks !!! I have no access to the kind of material you discover but I relish your giddiness when finding something special. Keep 'em coming man Gassho

    Thanks Rookie - I have had rocks sitting in various spaces in the garden, on my desk, under my desk and part of it is the fear that it won't be as good as I think - or that I will get the cut wrong and plough thru the "pretty bit" but I am not trying to make a living from rocks I am just genuinely happy to wander beaches and rivers picking them up and if I find something pretty then I am happy - I don't know when I got nervous to cut but you have reinvigorated my creativity - good job!!!

    • @Rookie_Rockounding
      @Rookie_Rockounding  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You sound exactly like me “I don’t know when I got nervous” haha! It’s totally me too! Just gotta back yourself and if you cut it wrong then there’s always more you can do and sometimes fixed mistakes bring about better results tbh 😊

    Hi Jesse…thank you for another awesome video. I’m holidaying in Fiji and have topped my night off watching you. The excitement of not knowing what’s inside is the best thing for me and will always find some beauty in even the most plan rock. Take care dude.

    So amazing...the "philosopy" of rocks. Perfect. You are 100% correct on the "journey" to the inside of the rock. Nature is the ultimate artist, we are merely her patrons.

    @dillydilly7693 - yes, you took the words out of my mouth and the feelings out of my heart ❤️. In fact, of all the Rockhound channels that I watched a lot before and seldom now, Rookie’s channel has a different vibe to it. He’s still exciting, entertaining, and worthwhile to watch. He’s a genuine person and his soul shines. We love you much, Jesse!🥰

    It's not easy deciding where to cut rocks for the best results, since you definitely get lucky when the inside is stunning and the outside shows nothing like the inside 😅

    • @Rookie_Rockounding

  • @rosemaryspringer4239
    @rosemaryspringer4239 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I wanted to share my thougths with you. First I really liked your commentary. I feel exactly the same way when it comes to rocks, findingt them and when I cut them. They are so interested and have a beauty that only Nature can design. Second, you may cut a rock and think it's a dud, but someone else might look at that same rock, will look at it and think," cool pattern, I could do this or this with a rock like that!" So just because you may be disappointed that it didn't match your expectations, other people may still appreciate the beauty inside. If you have one of those "duds" you could ask the viewers what they would do with it. Anyways, those are my thoughts. I really did enjoy this video.

    Jasper and agate often show variegated patterns inside when cut, especially along cracks and lines (color or texture transition areas). However, it would be good to cut through sections where there are cracks or line formations because these sections may have been remineralized when the rock suffered cracks during its journey to the site where it was picked up.

    I think if you find beauty and joy in the rocks even when they are not what you think they should be, that is what rockhounding is all about. I would give up if I never cut things I thought were not worth it. If they are not what you want take them back out put them in the river and let the process create something new. Keep on keeping on as they say.

    Even if it’s a bit of a dud on the inside, you get to have the first glance in that rock’s billion year history…as if it were waiting just for you. That’s pretty damn cool in and of itself.
