Listen, I enjoyed the video and that amount of rocks is what I dream about. But could you please remake the video with the music a bit louder. It be nice to be able to hear the music while your talking. Keep on rocking in the free for now world.
Amazing setup you have. The video is very interesting but I had difficulty hearing you over the background music. I like the music, just a little too loud.
Mike, great video, but the music overpowers everything the video is trying to do.... Other than that, great video... I cut and tumble lots of Montana moss too... Nothing better!
Nice tumblers and terrific results! Just wondering....do you find the straight-sided barrels work better than the round ones, or are they about the same?
Say... you're the agate beach guy, right? If so I've purchased a couple of fairly large packages from you - one of Montana agate nodules (large ones) and one of India black skin agate. Some of the best material I've ever bought and really good prices. Hope you're still in business, you sure did me right. Kudos!
All those tumblers! All going at once, no less. But with the amount of rocks you can find in 5 days floating down the river, I suppose you'd need a pant-load of tumblers. You could build a house out of agate.
U rock dude, your the king of rock ,but moss agate looks green and mossy ,yours where more agate but beuitiffull ,keep rocking any way when I think of moss agate I want to see green moss ok ,
What a bizarre comment... Look up moss agate. Yes the India material is mostly green, but green is not the definition of moss agate. What you want it to be doesn't matter.
Jeremy Olivarez Moss just refers to the dendrites having mossy sort of structure and doesn't necessarily have any more to do with color than plume agate (again - just refers to the structural appearance not the color). Most green Moss agate I've seen, though not all, is really chalcedony and not agate (no banding) though through all of this we see as much custom in naming practices as we do science or geology.
Na. The dendrites are what give them the name moss agate. They look like pieces of moss trapped in the agate. More often than not the montana moss agates I find are perfectly clear.
Cant hear very well, did you say you use three steps and tumble for a total of three months? I tumble a course grit, fine grit, prepolish and polish each for 10 days. End result is a beautiful polish. I would think 3 months would be totally unnecessary but I'm wondering if maybe your rocks are that much better. I might have to rethink my way of tumbling. Any suggestions on where to get affordable grit? I'd love to make my own if there is a good way to do so?
