    Beautiful stuff man!! The slab at 5:13 is wicked! I’d just flat polish that bad boy and have it be a display piece as is! 🤩 making me want to go up there and hunt!

      I find it along the North Shore of Minnesota, it can be found other places too!

    Cut, cut, cut! I love to see the inside of rocks. These were neat. I can't wait for the cabs. The copper pockets and flakes will look dupet polished. Your beastie of a saw did a really good job. You'll have to name it.

    So beautiful! That was a treat. I was glad to see you laugh when one crumbled. Some of my geodes do that. Nothing to do about it but enjoy it!

    Those were some awesome slabs! I dont know what the mystery mineral was either, but boy was it gorgeous! I hope its polishes well because it would make some beautiful cabs! But the others were all gorgeous! that big one has so much copper pieces in it. Its really spectacular. Cant wait for the cabbing video! Thanks for sharing!

    Great video.
    Really love your cutting videos.
    This stone is so beautiful, love the slabs.
    I just used our rock saw for the first time, it was so cool.
    I've been so inspired by watching your videos, I've learnt a lot too.
    I made a video of my first cutting experience, and put it on my channel.

    In the early days of Covid (seems like yesterday!), some folks in the know said that copper could ward off the infection and neutralize the virus topically. I carried a piece of copper with me in my coat through those early months. Would rather have a saturated chunk of prehnite protecting me! Thanks for the super cuts, Dad!

  • @coreymerrill3257

    Would drilling a hole in material where the pieces normally break at the end of a cut Stop that fracturing by relieving stresses?
