Cutting Rocks to Reveal Hidden Treasure.

Ойын-сауық

Cutting some of the rocks from my recent rockhounding trip along with a few other very interesting pieces I've collected lately with some truly beautiful results.
Join me as I cut some Dendritic Opalite (Common Opal) an Opalite/Agate mix from Burra Rock Road, some Flow Banded Rhyolite, Rhodonite and Chrysoprase along with some stunning Agates on my 9 inch rock saw to reveal treasures millions of years old, unseen by anyone before.

    Now that was an amazing video of beautiful rocks, mouth watering goodness for sure. The Opalite and Agate were the standouts for myself as well as all the rest of course. Nicely done Paul.

    Thank you Gordon, I'm glad you liked it, that Opalite/Agate mix can look a bit plain until it's cut, I really enjoy seeing what's hiding inside them 😀
