Cutting AGATIZED CORAL Fossils | Botryoidal Agate Geodes | Lapidary
Join me on this lapidary adventure where we have a blast cutting a bunch of agatized coral fossils we got from Rick - DigDiveDiscover. Inside these agatized coral fossils is inane black, white and blue botryoidal agate geodes with beautiful banding and even some eyes!! These agatized coral fossils were an absolute blast to cut open, each one was an individual treat since they are all unique. I want to again say thank you to Rick, his channel link is below, for sending me these beautiful agate coral geode fossils, they are amazing!
I plan on polishing a lot of these so make sure to subscribe to our channel so you don't miss those videos! Also, if anyone is interested in the kind of saw I was using, check out the Hi-Tech Diamond link below, not only do they have the 10 inch slab saw, they also have 6 inch and 4 inch saw models, as well as a ton of other equipment!

Beautiful! Let me tell you one thing, buy yourself a magnifying glass and observe your rocks even the simple ones with it, you will see a whole new "alien" world almost as if you are looking into another world. If you have a good quality camera, it would be nice to get some micro lens which allow you to take extreme close up images.

They're all really cool, but the one with the shell, it was prettier with the shell left INside instead of removing it. The last one was also super cool, the inside had faces. I love rocks with faces. Thanks for the cool video.

I agree the shell added a little special, and I also would have just polished the outside of the pipe looking one and left it uncut, but overall pretty 😎
I feel like I'm looking at history standing still for a moment. You see the minute and the expanse of space all at once. Lovely.
I never knew that coral could form into agate, thank you for showing us how much beauty is inside them. I really love the last piece you cut, just gorgeous (all of them are beautiful).🙂

I came across your channel at random and now I am hooked and subscribed. The reason is two fold, at first it was the beautiful formations you find inside these rocks, etc but then what has kept me here is your absolute wonder, amazement and enthusiasm at what you find as you look inside for the first time and take us with you, its so infectious. Love it! 😁😁❤❤
Your favorite one, the "Galaxy Stone" is beyond beautiful....absolutely stunning!!💗
Yes I agree that that last big one should be the new galaxy stone - it's a stunningly beautiful piece.
Wow! I find agatized pieces of coral on the beach but never dreamed they'd be that beautiful sliced! Those extras were pieces of oyster shells. Boy would I love to wrap some of those small ones for pendants! Thanks!
Those are amazing pieces! I really like the dolphin one. Those were very difficult looking to navigate the cuts, great job!

Looking at stones close up is like looking into another world. To truly appreciate their beauty, look at them through a jewelers' eye piece. Even duds will take on a new look.
I have just recently discovered your channel! Absolutely love watching! I have always loved collecting rocks and fossils, but after watching your videos I am excited to expand my horizons. Been planning a trip to North Shore in a few weeks and will be using your videos as my guide. Keep up the outstanding work!!!
Awesome!!! Thank you for this video! 💯👏
What a piece! The one that you said looks like space. Spectacular! It's like what we depict Mars or outerspace looks like.

Interesting, I had never seen agatized coral cut b4. I never even knew about Agatized coral when I lived in FL for many yrs. Congrats on the new 10 inch saw Man! Just watched your other video where u open it earlier 2day. (You are 1 strong dude the way u picked up that 40 lb saw💪😄) I just got my first tile saw, (not even unboxed yet tho I'm SO stoked) but I started right off the bat with a 10 in since that's what necessary to cut 3 inches of stone (without rolling)... Mine however is from Harbor Freight (a budget hardware-ish store in the US) so it is definitely NOT going to be quiet tho, and I anticipate getting sprayed quits a bit as well. Must be pure Awesomeness having such a high end saw made especially for rock cutting!

Also, with the last one, galaxy, if you shone a torch light underneath it,flush against to bottom, would the light shine through the stone, creating enough light to show up the galaxy beautifully. Just wondering. All the best from the land down under, a galaxy away lol.
Beautiful stuff love the blues , thank you 😊
The Northern Mudlarkers directed me to you, I just subscribed. Stunningly beautiful, the 'chicken wing' from the more orange side reminds me of a Caymen head, one of the smaller pieces looks like a megaldon tooth to me, the beautiful large piece you said looks like space, I imagined sitting in a moon cave looking out at the universe thats the way my mind works I see faces etc in nature.
The second one of the hollow one would be cool with a grey or blue natural baroqu pearl set inside it ,great necklace !
Wow... Beautiful, I wish I had and or knew how to use a saw like yours!!
