Cutting GALAXY Stones // Amethyst & Agates INSIDE!

Ойын-сауық

Let's cut open a bunch of GALAXY STONES! I use my 10" lapidary saw to cut open these amazing stones, which are host rocks for Lake Superior agates, quartz vugs - including amethyst, and many more minerals. These host rocks are amygdaloidal basalts and rhyolites and were found by me along the North Shore of Lake Superior. I had a ton of fun cutting open all these galaxy stones and we found some great treasures inside them, especially the very last one, which ended up being the king of the galaxy stones for this batch!
