Ordinary Grey Rock Found On A Beach Made Into A Piece Of Jewelry
I did a lapidary course last year and i was given a box of boring looking rocks that i had to choose from, i was skeptical at first but they turned out amazing once fully cut and polished!
Beautiful job!!!!!I bought a big piece of Pet. Wood, the USPS broke it in 3 pieces, would you be able to fix it? And what do you charge?
These agates are all Gorgeous!
My thought was please tell me he didn’t have to go back and get his wife
Second gem looks like Jupiter :) great video thank you
It does!
Other suggestions
Use scraps from cut rocks
Just new to your channel, what is the name of that machine you are using, I have seen the other style where you have 3 or 4 rolling disks but never seen one like this?
This is a hi-tech diamond flat lap.
I’ve found some cool fossil corals that way
Where is the Lobster Hole in relation to the south portion of the Bay as it borders the North shore of Nova Scotia? Awesome rock boulders along the Bay shore which I'm guessing is buried by the tide. Since I'll never get to N.S. again due to Right ankle/foot disability & unable to drive since 2012, I'll really enjoy your videos & 'travel' along with you. Thanks for sharing.
The lobster hole is on the west side of Cape split. Long hike to get in there (over an hour)
bro that's not a gemstone, that's a polished agate ! - fuck your title
Powerfully Gorgeous!
What type of metal are you using for the settings? I've found some pieces in silver that are most affordable. The value then obviously spikes and it is worth it for the beauty of the stones. + !
For most stones I use a silver aluminum alloy bezel but for some select stones I use a .925 Sterling silver bezel.
"Creative Geology" a delicious set of traits + Passions. Excellent experience The saw sorta scares me, I know you've counseled your son about that. Icecream and Exploration! Now that is Swaaaaeet! Looking forward to seeing more ... Beth Tennessee, USA
Glad you enjoyed it!
That would be me 😂
من تعدادی سنگ سپتارین دارم بدون شک با یک دستگاه سمباده ی برقی مثل همین دستگاه میتوانم کارهای خارق العاده ای با سپتارین ها درست کنم❤❤
I wish you would wear gloves while using the saw. Difficult to watch.
Im perfectly safe. Please watch this video: ua-cam.com/users/shorts3UW3jzjBX5g?si=McQRl7q8Z9Vy5zO0
I’m a rock hunter and would love to learn how to make beautiful jewelry like this
Just dive in!
Man searching for cool rocks at ikea parking lot, this is what the internet was meant for
100%
I was looking forward to something spectacular, instead it was bland and ordinary. Put it back on the beach.
You're obviously not in the hobby if you think that was bland. You just dont know what you are looking at. Thanks for watching!
@@RockhoundingLife No, not a hobby. I am a jeweller. Other stones give me more pleasure than this one. I also used to cut cabs at my local lap club, but not now. I had trouble with wrists. I really love Australian opal.
Ah...that explains it. While i think its cool to facet gems i like their natural beauty more. Finding them as nature intended.
@@RockhoundingLife Ahh, and what do you make them into, pendants, earrings, bracelets? I have a marquise shaped Pink Botswana Agate and made it into a pendant and added a round pink tourmaline to the top, north/south and a bail. I made it using 9ct yellow gold as l can't wear Sterling silver and in any case, l hate working with Sterling silver. I know it's cheaper and it is the whitest metal when highly polished, but it creeps me out using it. My little pendant worked out very nice and the pink is so pretty. It has some stripes (banding) in it and also some solid pink colour.
Quite interesting, but I'm worried about your hands so near that saw.
ua-cam.com/users/shorts3UW3jzjBX5g?si=McQRl7q8Z9Vy5zO0
Beautiful !!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very informative and helpful!! Much appreciated! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome seam agate. I'm jealous, makes me wish I was 30 years younger, still able to drive and had a rockhounding friend who wanted to explore Nova Scotia and find rocks/agates, etc. That's why I'm glad I found your channel and videos.
Great find, I've been up and down Blue Beach many times, found a trackway, shark spine, fish scales but never a terapod bone yet alone an amazing jaw, well done! There is a huge institute trackway there if you know where to look.
Yes we've seen the trackway. It looks like a highway for carboniferous life!
Here in Scotland if you get caught stealing rocks we get our hands cut of. Mind you I've managed without my hands for years. The only thing that annoys me is I can no longer go shoplifting but I do have a lot of stones.
Glad I don;t live in Scotland!
I'd be interested to know wh😮at the other smaller rock looked like after you cut or tumbled it. It would be cool to see any banding it might have. Your macro really showed off the beauty of the epidote and feldspar. The finished cab looks great! ❤
What part of Nova Scotia did these seam agates come from? Many years ago, early 1970s, a friend from Connecticut (southern portion of New England) went to N.S. to try his luck at one of the Five Islands to get agate/seam agate, & probably beach stones. As the tide receded out of the Bay of Fundy, he walked his way out to one of the Five Islands to hunt for the agate with a burlap bag with his tools for breaking rock, gloves, etc., and perhaps another bag for the agate and probably beach stones. Don't know what island he went to as I don't know any of the names or how close they are to one another. I had warned him about both the receding & incoming tides. On his way there, he met a fisherman/lobsterman and arranged his boat ride back to Parrsboro. After his return to CT he gave me a few pieces of Five Islands agate. When I sawed them on the diamond saw, it took quite a while to cut those hard chunks of seam agate. One of the rocks had patterns similar to what you've shown on this video. I had been in N. S. five years earlier and had told him about agates there. He had also read at least one article on NS agates in the Lapidary Journal. In past years, there were several club members from one of the rock & gem clubs I've been a member of, who would go each summer to N.S. along with a trailer/motor boat to get them to and from the Five Islands. Don't know how many islands they were able to visit. Too many years ago to remember.
The seam agate in this video all comes from the Lobster Hole on Cape Split
Thanks for the information. I Looked on my 'actual' map of Nova Scotia for Cape Split, since it's not a city/town it is not listed in the Index. Where is it's location near to a town? I presume the Cape is somewhere along the Bay of Fundy.
I do landscaping have found some really cool stuff in the landscape rocks over the past several years. I want to do lapidary and make cool stuff
THATS MY ROCK. I PUT THAT ROCK THERE. HOW DARE YOU TAKE IT!
I replaced it!
😮 quedó muy hermosa
Hi there. I sent an email to your email address over a weak ago, with pictures of the unnamed rock. I have it boxed and ready to go, but I haven't heard back from you yet, maybe my email went to your spam folder?
Can you send me the email again?
@@RockhoundingLife hi, I did this morning, check your spam folder too, just incase.
A well thought out project and perfectly executed. Way to go!!!
Beautiful job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awsome job!!!!
Thanks!!
Gotta say, you have certainly opened my eyes when it comes to rocks/minerals! Wow 👌🏻👌🏻
That came out beautiful
Nicely restored. 👏🏻👏🏻
Gorgeous !! they look like planets.
IKEA rocks!
Wow that turned out beautiful, nice job 😊
hello, i would like to ask you questions i found a dinosaur tooth i would like to know about in ocean
You did a fantastic job on the repair and the restoration looks amazing! It's gorgeous! It's such a tiny little sink but damn is it fabulous! I had no doubt about your ability to repair and refinish it. It looks even better than I imagined though! Awesome job Jason! Thank you so much for sharing this!❤
Thanks Lisa!
Cool!
I truly hope you are proud of all the amazing projects you've shared over the years. Much respect and thank you for another wonderful flat rate box!
I figured you would ace this fix
I was thinking the same thing. I'm not mad about it but thought...is that considered stealing?? Lol replacing the rock, is genius!
WOW, what an impressive video. Awesome.
Holy wah that's beautiful! Job well done!
Thank you so much 😀
I had a wond chime made of petrified wood. They sound beautiful. I currently own a 25 pound piece. Going to have it cut. Gorgeous!
Very nice!
Never knew there was such a thing as a petrified sink lol. Cool! How much is something like that worth?
Not entirely sure but I'd say in the $300 - $500 range.
Nice job in repairing that sink, front & back. Speaking about petrified wood, several years ago as my sister was having her kitchen remodeled, she wanted some kind of stone to replace her counter-tops, so went to a place recommended to her by the remodler. She saw different types of stone including petrified wood. She said it was absolutely beautiful, but the price tag was out of her reach for the amount she would need.
