So nice to find such amazing finds like that on the side of the road ! Absolutely beautiful !!
thanks!
Looking forward to this, those chonks in the thumbnail look like you scored big and beautifully! Cheers!
Thanks!
Awesome finds Aiden!
Those mossy tube agates are outstanding!
I've had the same issue with scratches around the edges of my worked pcs.😢
I end up having to go backwards and start again. I'm a lot more careful on the 80-400grits now, and I'm having better results.
👍🏻👍🏻
ok thanks for the advice Mike!
Neat O... looks like a fun spot to prospect. Nice finds
Thanks Anthony!
I sure wish we had agate locales except for the beaches. Some great finds Aiden. The mossy ones are nice! 👍
Thanks Andrew, yeah definitely wish we had more sources nearby
Most interesting to me was the first one. Loved it. Favorite is probably the last one or whichever you want to send me. Lol.
Haha thanks!
🤣 I love that Jeff!
@@Mike-br8vb hey gotta try right? Lol.
@@JnVrockhounding yes!! Of course!
Nice agates! I just call them tubey moss when they look like that. Close relative of plumey moss. Those red skins are nice with the black dendrites.
Thank you! 😀
I was loving that tube bordering on moss. Those are all so pretty. I've noticed that some mosses tend to be dry and crumbly for lack of a better descriptive. I never put them in my ultrasonic any more. I've watched some just turn into clouds.
Interesting, I'll keep that in mind.
Amazing video my friend!!
Thanks!!
Awesome finds, I really like that little parallax piece!!
As for the polishing process for slabs, i find making the face your polishing slightly convex makes it so much easier and faster to get a polish. I think it's something to do with how the soft laps compress, it's a pain to get the centers or sometimes the edges of slabs polished. if you wanted a perfectly flat face you'd probably be best off with hard laps similar to faceting. There's some good videos floating around showing how glassworkers polish or facet their sculptures that would apply to this too😉
Thanks, those are some thoughts I will have to check them out/try them
10:56 that looks amazing, and16:22 love it. Good job man.
Thanks I appreciate!
Dang dude, just looks like rock, but they sure are pretty inside😃👍!!
I've seen some pretty Kentucky agates on the tube, but don't really know where to find any....
Great show Aidan, and God Bless ya brother ✌🍀
Thanks Chad!
@@Ontario_Rockhound
😎✌️🍀
Nice finds😎🤙some of those would make some nice tools
Thank you. I don't know how well they would knapp.
@@Ontario_Rockhound sometimes they knapp well other times not so well, depending on agate they might do better with heat treating as well
Ok interesting
I don't have a flat Lap, but my guess would be do your edges closer to the center of the polishing pad you will have more Rpm their. the further away from center you go the less RPM you get. hope that helps.
I will try that out.
