In this one, we cut another heap of rocks! A friend allowed me to raid their rock pile over the summer, where we got some incredible Montana agates and Thundereggs! On top of that, our good friend Derek the Rock Master gave us some amazing agates from Montana that I had never heard of: White Earth Agates! They are an incredible red banded and botryoidal agate that is extremely rare and difficult to acquire! They truly are unlike any other agate I've ever seen from Montana! We select a few of each to cut and then feed them to slab saw! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out very soon!
I am hosting a livestream/live sale on Monday December 11th, so come on over and hang out with us in the chat!

All are stunning 🤩beautiful! Thank you for sharing their beauty with us.

@christinewalley6829 7 месяцев назад

Those are freaking amazing I still can't believe they are from Montana. I would have thought they were from Florida. That will be amazing polished and displayed.

@janvafa9959 7 месяцев назад

That first iris agate looks so much like an aurora borealis!

@jennifershipp2599 7 месяцев назад

Nice cab prospects. Can't wait to see some. Thank you 😊

@user-kk5vv2ks5r 7 месяцев назад

The white earth agates are GORGEOUS! I just can't choose a favorite. I LOVE THEM ALL! Unfortunately, I'm working Monday. I gonna try to catch some of your live stream. The last one was so much fun!

@janehelbert7551 7 месяцев назад

The white earth agates are my favorites!

@robertbradford3461 7 месяцев назад

Chert is chalcedony, just a different kind, it's like jasper or flint, all forms of chalcedony. That's probably black chalcedony, you know, like onyx

@tanekarnes5260 7 месяцев назад

Yes, please let us know where the White Earth gates are generally found. Thanks for great cutting video.

@CedarStoneCreations 7 месяцев назад

Wow! That first White Earth Agate reveal is sick! So many interesting pockets 😮

@RufotrisRootedRockhound 7 месяцев назад

6:52 we get ones just like that in Utah. I just got some I’m sending out to a few people! Some great purples in some of them too. 7:24 that Iris is insane! WOW! 17:19 might be a favorite! That’s the type of cuts I have been collecting for a project! Lots of slabs and chunks with little caves or arches or bots or druzy I love that one! Great cuts Theo. X2 watch speed club out 😅 short on time today.

@bryant448 6 месяцев назад

I found some of the White Earth agates this summer. Take and shine a UV light on them. Another level of awesomeness. Some look like rice or popcorn nodules inside.

@williamscoggin1509 7 месяцев назад

Can't wait to see the rest of those rocks! 😮 I think the Irish agate look like the Aurora Borealis over a forest. 🤩

@donnabeaudin9114 7 месяцев назад

Wow Theo! One jaw- dropping beauty after another! That last white earth agate slab 17:8 was GORGEOUS! Close-up of a galaxy! Thanks Theo, and thank you Derek the Rockmaster!!👍👍👍

@robbybobby6466 7 месяцев назад

I wonder if the earth agate would Knapp. Amazing stone. Derek the rock master does not disappoint!

@treeismee6062 7 месяцев назад

Hey Rockmaster, the Derek, thank you! I agree with your favorite pick Theo. Just amazing.

@TyOtis 7 месяцев назад

Btful rocks! I’d really love to see more of what you do with all the slices you’ve cut.

@keithcunningham7925 7 месяцев назад

Heck ya that was the best cutting video i would never of guessed that was from Montana but that was awesome

@tedpreston4155 3 месяца назад

That video reminds me of a similar project, exploring the depths of a rock collection I "inherited" when a local rockhound died. His wife gave me the entire collection, in exchange for clearing it out of her basement. The guy who built the collection worked for a sugar refining business, and he traveled all over the Great Plains and Rockies to visit the factories. While he was there, he would get permission to collect rocks from the local wheat fields that were fallow, exposing the rocks. He also collected the popular materials wherever he went. So I got a trove of lovely Youngite from his collection. And I got a thousand different varieties of jaspers and chalcedonies from all over the Great Plains and the foothills of the Rockies. Good fun! There's some of it I still haven't cut after thirty years!

@donnalantz7981 7 месяцев назад

Wow. Those were all spectacular. That new Montana agate is beyond beautiful. So much going on in that.

@deniseview4253 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the iris!

@RufotrisRootedRockhound 7 месяцев назад

Wow those bots are wild! This is going to be a great video! Watching now! 🤘

@mountain_girl 6 месяцев назад

Gorgeous material. Derek TRM is The Man. A lot of those odds and ends would make great, big and chunky cabs for rings and pendants. Love a big oversized stone and silver full finger ring.

@largent45 7 месяцев назад

Wow! Those white earth agates were all so different, and so unique from each other and so beautiful! They are definitely something I've never seen before! Absolutely gorgeous! Every one of them and yeah, they were my favorites. All three of them! And although the iris was very pretty, it definitely took a backseat to those beauties! Wow! A bunch of amazing cuts! Just gorgeous! They were all lovely! And a huge shout out to Derek the Rock Master, for the gorgeous new agate from Montana, that the native Montanan, has never even heard of before! You Rock Derek! Thanks Theo for sharing your beautiful treasures with us! They were awesome cuts! ❤ See you Monday!

@tott3457 7 месяцев назад

Theo, those were amazing❣️ I watch a lot of cutting videos and The thunder egg and the agates you cut wide were so unique!!!

@775Rockhounding 7 месяцев назад

Amazing cuts! Montana agates are on my bucket list for sure! Thanks for sharing Theo! Love all the amazing botryoidal pieces. 🤩

@telessiajones7041 7 месяцев назад

Theo those are beautiful. Please show us your cutting videos when you do them. I can't get enough of them and I know its too cold to agate hunt or if you are like me you will go anyway lol. Love your videos.

@ccccarriemchardy9216 7 месяцев назад

The white earth agates definitely deserve a look under a microscope!

@josephcase3105 7 месяцев назад

Timestamp 8:00 minutes in the red an white looks like Kentucky coral geode/agate that I've found , that's really cool.

@janehelbert7551 7 месяцев назад

The iris agate is cool!

@janehelbert7551 7 месяцев назад

Thank you Dereck!

@12bfree4ever4 6 месяцев назад

Your mystery agate was beautiful inside. Looked like a little flower.

@patriciabock4299 2 месяца назад

Can't wait to see the cabs! Beautiful!

@cindy40 6 месяцев назад

Can't pick but I need them in my life! I really liked the last 2 obviously but I have to say that perfect circle in the parallax one is so cool and it looks like it has quartz surrounding it. Really awesome stuff can't wait to find out more about the earth agate it's Def a new fav of mine

@kimcwhite6509 7 месяцев назад

Wow, those rocks are gorgeous! I don't know rock types, but I got some similar rocks to tumble from a local couple that were getting out of the rock business. They told me the rocks are from Montana, Oregon & Washington. I don't know what 'cabbing' is, but I love tumbling the slices of rocks, whatever they're called (cabbed?). I'm a Grandma, but I still love rocks. I let my young grandsons (6 & 8 yrs) pick what they want to keep. Absolutely love your channel💙

@dustinfindsrocks 7 месяцев назад

Nice Jeff HuntingRocks told me that Derek found a new agate in Montana. Yeah they’re cool! Also someone messaged me about some lace agate they found in southwest Missouri that seems to have a little bit of iris! It’s similar to but different than Haunted Ridge agate. If I can get ahold of some I’ll try and send you a piece

@Mrjoshuasjourneyzzz10420 7 месяцев назад

@jimellis936 7 месяцев назад

Loved the orbicular agate. Are you going to be doing any cabbing videos? I'd love to see how you cab some of the stuff you cut today.

@amberandrews6842 6 месяцев назад

Lord but I do LOVE pretty rocks!!! 💜💜💜💜

@steveegbert7429 7 месяцев назад

Another great cutting session, Theo! I'd bet you might find some of those white earth pieces to be reactive if you hit them with a UV light. Lots of old uranium mines down around the Pryor Mountains area. It would be interesting to know where it came from. I hope you can find out where it came from, even if you can't tell us. Such pretty material as well as all you showed! Jared at Currently Rockhounding has a good video on cutting Thunder Eggs. If they have discernible pressure ridges you can tell which way to cut, if not, you cut and hope for the best.

@judymarkel8029 6 месяцев назад

Wow amazing

@debidevaney8398 7 месяцев назад

Insanely beautiful!!🎉 Thank you for sharing🙏

@phild8095 6 месяцев назад

I walk around a lot, sometimes I pick up rocks. The thing is I live and walk in Iowa. I found one piece this week that "oh, a two color sandstone" Yah, light and barely darker tan. Sometimes there's something exciting like a fossil looking worm or layers like a fossil plant. Once in a while something that got moved here glacially maybe from Lake superior looks interesting, has some color. Oh, sure you can go down to Makoketa and maybe find some geodes. But not in this town. My brother in law said his farmer father called the rocks in his field "sex stones" When asked why he said "They're f__ing rocks." "Now go pick up some of those f__ing rocks for an hour and pile them at the edge of the field.

@watutokBatuakik 6 месяцев назад

the stone is really beautiful👍👍

@Rocktwister 4 месяца назад

The one with the circle at the bottom is my absolute favorite. Looks like a sun rise

Ok Theo... I need one of those iris slabs.

@sandmaker 6 месяцев назад

I haven't heard of white earth agates either. Are you just making up a name!?😅lots of good cabs coming your way.😊

@danacataldi5119 4 месяца назад

gorgeous iris

@josephcase3105 7 месяцев назад

Looks like black flint with some calcium carbonate & pockets of Calcedony . That's just my opinion but I've been a rock hound since 94 so pretty much 30 years lol. I've encountered some pretty weird stuff over the years . We don't have any basalt or ryolite here but yet we have agate in our shale that used to be stuff like brackiopods ,clams, corals , amonites ect.ect. Kentucky agate all used to be some kind of sea life . A lot of times the hull/ husk outer rind will show remnants of what it used to be .

@patriciamckean4186 7 месяцев назад

Wowsa, white earth agates look like arizona agates or possibly cherry cheese danish 😂.

@Algoldprospecting 7 месяцев назад

Nice ones I need iris 😂😂

@savagesquirrel9828 7 месяцев назад

Nice slices. Incredible rainbows. I think the obsidian-like rock might be obsidian. I got some at Glass Buttes ( I think it’s called that) Oregon, and some thin chips had stripes of nearly clear and black. It looks cool. I hope you cut it. Thanks.

@jerlynneallison6361 5 месяцев назад

4:50. Ok, I need cabs of this. Now. Immediately. Yesterday. Last week. .....WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??!??!?!?🤯🤯

@savannahrossy2405 7 месяцев назад

Black Onyx

@joang.cavanna2046 5 месяцев назад

Does the iris show without a light behind it? The stuff in mossy agate is not plant material, right? It's some mineral or rock inclusion? Everything was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

@heatherzagorski7880 6 месяцев назад

I would like to see some of your cabs

@dustbunny3824 7 месяцев назад

Are you able to let us know (approximately of course, can't give things away) what area the white earth agates come from? They really don't look like river rock. Chalky outside?
