Cutting Lake Superior agates open on my lapidary saw!

Ойын-сауық

I cut open eighteen Lake Superior agates and the beauty hidden inside was shocking!! This batch of agate gems was sent to us by Evan and I was so happy that so many of these amazing minerals were absolute bangers! It is always so fun seeing inside these agates when they are cut open on our lapidary saws. No two are the same and it is a blast seeing inside them for the first time!

    The first one you show I would call the "Fire Agate". With it's reds and oranges would be the fire and the white bands and the Quartz acting as smoke. Nice agate!!! And the last one you cut open could be The Magical Shroom. And we are the second people to see inside these agates. First being mother nature herself. She was the one to have the formula for all these agates.
