No rock or mineral is ever a waste. They're all beautiful in their own way. Wether we use them and cut and polish or if they're just sitting in my garden, or on my shelf.

What an incredibly diverse hobby rock and mineral collection is. Seeing the process from collection to manufacturing just adds to its overall beauty! Much respect to you sir!

Thanks Nick! I agree. There's something about knowing where a stone comes from that makes the experience of making or owning lapidary jewrlry that much better.

As someone on the fossil collecting side there’s so much new things to learn and do. That’s what’s great about this hobby, you’ll never master all of it, there’s always something new to learn.

I’m nervous watching him use that blade so close to his fingers!😳

@joane.landers9151 3 дня назад

@@toneenorman2135 No need to worry, tonee, the diamond blade won't hurt him or anyone who cuts stones. The rim of the is smooth all around, unlike a circular saw with its jagged points all around the blade. Many years ago when I was teaching lapidary and the use of the diamond saw, I would turn the unit ON, place my thumb on the turning/running blade the turn the unit OFF & show that my thumb was undamaged. Hope this puts your mind at ease.

@enaidyeltneb369 Год назад

That was awesome to watch!!! Being zero schooled in geology, I assume the straws you were talking about were the crystal looking lines? If so could they have become full fledged crystals in time? Nature is the most incredible thing ever. A nondescript rock on a beach turned into a beautiful piece in the hands of someone with the knowledge just amazes me. Thank you for sharing your passion!

@RockhoundingLife Год назад

The straws in tbis stone used to be the crystals of another mineral, likely a zeolite. Quartz replaced the zeolite mineral but took the shape of the zeolite crystal and left behind a more durable mineral. A similar process to how petrified wood is formed.

We love to beachcomb for rocks along the N. Calif coast. What we have done with our "treasures" is put them in a narrow rectangular container with water, set them by a window, and enjoy the sun shining through. I really enjoyed seeing your creativity and eye for finding novel uses for the rock. This has got me thinking about uses for our "finds" Many thanks for sharing. I enjoy woodworking and making gifts for friends and relatives.

Don't be put off! Anyone can learn this skill! It's not even hard exactly, just...fiddly, lol! It helps to have lot of attention to detail, a steady hand, and of course, LOTS of patience! Of course, the equipment that you see here is a bit of a killer....but you can do the same thing with much cheaper equipment. It'll just take a lot longer, is all. Better equipment just speeds up the process and makes it easier. See if there's a local lapidary club that you can check out. The people there are often super stoked to talk about their hobby and give you advice on how to start. :D

The back of the bezel could be engraved with whatever message desired or even just initials in a calligraphic font. But then again if the stone were to be polished on both sides, an open back bezel would present all of its beauty. Thanks for sharing the process and this magnificent find.
