Two beautiful pieces from one most unassuming black rock. Good cut and polish. See y'a next time. 😷⚒
wayyyy cool. unreal. This earth can be such a Joy
You ROCK! Picking up stuff the rest of us walk over, rarely even looking down, and discovering the hidden beauty within. ❤
It's a surprise rock!!!! It's so cool and very pretty. Awesome cabs 😍 ❤!!!
❤ I have a stone like this it was blue and slight white stripe when cut was red and blue and white stripes stunning
This is good to know. I've come across a good amount of these. I do have a few and will certainly be picking these beauties up from now on. Those are gorgeous finds!
Excellent freeforms!
@4:35 what a fantastic close-up!!
That's so awesome amazing ❤ 3 specimen in one find. Beautiful
They say the stones of Atlantis were black white and red. So we're the Egyptians. I think parts of the US and the stone you cut is from that exact time ...fellow RockHounds rock!!
Interesting! Thanks for watching!
😱 ooh no baby be careful with that blade 🤦🏼♀️
beautiful stones ❤

You definitely nailed it with its appearance. Absolutely looks like you were looking at space through a telescope!
Looks like black obsidian as well.
Nope. Sure doesn’t.
I went on a hike* yesterday and found/picked up so many rocks!
I always used to smash rocks with my father. We would pick the ugliest one and crack it in half to see if it had something inside and the majority of the time. It was either marbleized or quarts of some sort inside. Quite fascinating.
That's so awesome
Was holding a couple of those while looking for agates particularly black/blues. And looking in the polished rock Jars at the red/black jasp/agg and seeing the exact same rock!!!
Sweet! I kept thinking they were something because of the white wispy layer.. they polish spectacularly...
Those are amazing!!!
Glad you like them!
Absolutely Stunning ! Amazing material !
Thank you! Cheers!
So beautiful!! I was worried about your fingers!! 🤦♀️😯⭐️✝️
Thanks! Check this out:

@@RockhoundingLife, Good reference video. Thanks for posting!
That really is unexpected! The cabs look great.
Very cool
Cheers from P.E.I.
I can’t believe he wasn’t wearing some kind of protective gloves. I was afraid he was going to slice his fingertips right off!!! 😱
This video will ease your mind regarding the safe uise of this machine.

Great explanation loved. Always with facts. Thank you. I also was worrying about your thumbs been cut. 😂❤
Well done! I may have something similar. Time to look through the pile 😊
Looks like it took a while for the silica to evaporate during formation! Awesome Agate! Tumbled its SWEEEET!
Sometimes if you don’t see the white window like, at times a bluish black rock will contain silver
A true, sleeping beauty. Such a surprise. TY
I have 3 or 4 of these rocks ( uncut ) in my collection.... 2 have lines of banding
They're beautiful, and you show them off to good advantage. It looks like they've already been snapped up by some lucky buyers. It's always fun to know a bit of the story of the polished stone that you are buying.
Beautiful ❤
I surprised no geologist types have chimed in to give their opinion of what they are.
I've seen similar rocks in my part of the US and will be grabbing a few to meet a saw.
Amazing rocks
Cool
Stunning!😊
Thank you! 😊
Oh wow❤
I'm going up to Scots Bay this Wednesday. Gonna keep an eye out for those. Very beautiful rocks!
Good luck!
That’s so cool!❤
Sweet findings🍭
Nice you never know till you cut them . im always cutting them myself , thanks
Thank you.
Like a nebula...
Maybe it is,
Beautiful.
Those are gorgeous! ❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Stunning! ❤
Thank you! 😊
I find alot of these at my local beach, they're very fun ☺️
Yes they are!
Too beautiful
Thanks a lot 😊
Looks like brains
Cool!
That sure looks like opalized Petrified wood... beautiful stuff..
That is so cool!
Thanks!
Scots Bay ftw 🥰😍
👍👍👍👍very nice rock 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks so much for this video Jason! I have 2 or rocks that look just like this, from the same place. I was drawn to the blue color and odd look and when I looked closer I saw some little agates, dark agates on a dark rock. I haven't got a saw yet to cut them, but I'm very curious to know if they are red inside, like yours are. You would never guess it by looking at them!
I'm fairly sure it's flint: dark or black, shiny and waxy, sparks when slabbing, 7 on mohs hardness test
I just cut one of mine that's mostly black with red stripes
Loved watching this created ! I have rock collected for most my life. I would love to do some cutting and polishing, but the equipment can be pricey.
There are some cheap ways to get into the hobby
@@RockhoundingLifeyes? Anddddd?
Well, for cutting, you can theoretically put that "blade" he uses on any table saw and set up a hose to drip water so things don't get too hot while cutting the rocks. And there's a million cheap rock tumblers with all the grits for sale.
beautiful
Thank you! 😊
You must get really excited when you find a quartz geode.
I'm far down in East Texas and I find something similar with about the same frequency as you. I know I've got something good when I find dark rocks with a bit of patterning. Cutting them open always yields something interesting.
Whwreabouts in East Texas? I used to live in that area
@@RockhoundingLife near the San Jacinto river. There aren't big agates there but the ones you find are quite diverse. Pet palm wood is probably the most unique thing you might find there.
Beatyful
I found some neat stuff on the BR Shore down past the Light house at the end of the wharf road by DC. ❤
So cool!
@@RockhoundingLife ill polish one up tomorrow and make a short
I like rocks, I bring them home
Obsidian
I have some stones like this in my stash (likely from the same location) might have to dig them out and see what's inside
You should
I am an old rock enthusiast, coming back to it now, as I have a new lease on life after a recent hospital excursion. I’m looking for any tips as a new lapidary hobbyist. I am in the process of purchasing a small trim saw as I do have some creative ideas and other rocks that I can find around my area. Is there decent and much cheaper way to make cabs other than to buy a very expensive cab machine? I already have a Tumbler And I will be purchasing a flex shaft, multitool as well. Just curious as to if this may be enough as a start for polishing, cutting and shaping. Any, and all help would greatly be appreciated friends. Thank you
Hey there,
Congrats on your recovery! It sounds like you have obtained the typical "starter kit" for a budding lapidary hobyist. It will take you linger to make cabs but it can be done with what you have. When you are ready to move to the next level i cam help you. Just reach out.
@@RockhoundingLife thank you so very much man! I was just watching your video about the new faceting machine, so I hope we can see soon some more footage of that because I was also contemplating one of those down the road. I’m excited once I get started here and can share some creations. I am a welder, so I obviously want to incorporate metal or sculptures in with some of these rock cutting projects that I have in mind. Love your videos and thank you for the reply!
@@RockhoundingLife Also, I do not mean to bug you, but just curious if it’s possible to put a small say 4 inch diamond wheel on the flex shaft tool, so that I can shape cabs a little easier than with the Dremel side of things.
I need to get a cutter !
Let me know when you are ready and ill send you our affiliate link and codes. They can also be found in this videos description
⛏️😎 iam just a simple rock hunter
sell them as galaxy pendants!
It's from meteorite fallen condrites gem expanding in air rolling through crash site
Looks like a small beefsteak
Where is Scots Bay? Gorgeous rock
On the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia Canada
@@RockhoundingLife well, Nova Scotia, here I come!! Thanks so much.
Fusion crusted
What is address to see?
What general area do you find them in?
Ive found them across the whole beach
Open your mind, and you'll see fower petals.
Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys lol
All the time lately. Never used to though
I wish you’d say where you found them.
I do....this was found on Scots Bay beach Nova Scotia
Where's the link to your store?
Link is in the video description
Where can I buy these nebulae stones.
Our Etsy store if in stock. Link in the video description
How hard are this rocks on a scale of ten?
They are a 7 on the mohs scale
I think its dioraite.
Looks like a mineralized kidney
You might be on to something. It does look to have been organic once
Looks like a brain! 😂
Looks like a brain, because it is a brain. The original rocks as found
we're petrified skulls of some ancient creature.
YOU NEED BETTER MUSIC.
Well i did do a poll on the misic and it was 60-40 in favor of the music.
I made it to the 1 minute 32 second mark. Paused the video and am outta here. I came to see the rock. Not listen to your life story. Why not just show it ? Jeesh........
See ya! Thanks for the visit!
The ‘white tracing’ is a creature track. This is not the same rock! If it was you’d have opened it open off the saw without ‘cutting’ to another camera. Rubbish!
This comment is rubbish
Very cool
