Join along for this fun lapidary video where we break out our flat lap lapidary machine and start grinding the husk off of six Lake Superior agate nodules to expose their hidden inner and amazing details! By grinding away the husk and exposing their inner works of art, we get to be the first ones EVER to see what in the world is going on inside these agate gem stones! Big thanks to Rockhound79 for sending these over to play with, I have many of my own we will be doing the same to in the future!

@maravish2070 2 года назад

loved this video, I think this is the perfect balance between keeping the agates intact as much as possible and revealing some of the banding without cutting them and structurally changing them forever

@AgateDad 2 года назад

Yesss!!

I'm new to lapidary so this is good to know. Thank you.

My oh my, I have a bucket full of nodules that I'm going to be grinding after seeing that last on!

@kramerspartans 2 года назад

Wow what a wonderful process from start to finish those agate nodules all took a nice polish and I have to say that last one was a stunner!

@lauramarti7548 Год назад

Those agates are so cool! Thanks for bringing us along to show from beginning to the end, with the grinding and polishing!

@CityRockhounding 2 года назад

Wow, what a cool idea Taylor, never thought to grind off the husk. Love the shapes, banding, patterns, eyes and colors. Cool video man! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to try this myself, just need to find some LS agates first!

Yeah I thought it would be fun and different than cutting them!

@snort5203 11 месяцев назад

I like the next to the last one. They are so shiny! I have used a tumbler or 3 since I became interested about 4 years ago.Stopped for a couple years and am now back at it. I am using some different approaches, trying to use the same consistency in each barrel. Staying away from ordinary granite.

Ohhh THANK you for this!! I don’t know how many times I will show people an agate nodule and they are 100% convinced that I don’t have an agate. Could you perhaps someday do a video that is just about nodules? What they are and why they most certainly ARE agates

Hi 👋 👋 👋 👋 Agate Dad I like them all but like you said the last stone was the best for sure some of the patterns reminded me of the planet Juniper. So thanks again for all the great work and keep on rocking for sure.

@AgateDad 2 года назад

Oh definitely

@kirbycraft9325 2 года назад

The Monochromatics polish well, but don't reveal details like other agates do. In fact I'm fairly partial to them; painted and jelly. I like how the Jellys look like they have puddles in them; like a drop of water was frozen in time. The Blue is my favorite. I mean that agate is Pacific Blue. I wonder if it's going to turn "milky"? The specks on the mountain agate might be Native Copper. Put your flashlight on it at different angles. Really cool. I haven't been watching Agate vids lately because of Cabin Fever. I'm so ready for the thaw. I believe our Snowpack is going to make for a great start this year. Good job.

@tulazaz 9 месяцев назад

Fun demonstration! The last was my favorite also. It seems as though the little surface holes/tubes you sanded over, weren’t filled in all the way. So where you sanded down to where the tubes’ insides were level with the surface, bands appeared around the tubes. So were the bands formed inside the tube shaped voids?
