    Hey Taylor i just got a hi-tech flat lap and i am having a problem not sure what to do. I use the 80 grit to get my slabs flat but when i go to next grit i have to reflaten the stone with that grit. It grinds in the center like the center is high. Is it something i am doing wrong?

    I love African agats. I bought some cut Geodes when in Morocco, they are so lovely. No Agats but one geode have grey sparkling, small tentacles inside and one is whitish/yellow and like sparkling glass-pieces inside, they are so beautiful. And I also bought some fossils. Nice to watch thank you.

    Hi, AD! New, ignorant rockhound here! Really enjoying and binging on your channel. But l feel dumb as a stump. Took geology, have a ton of rock ID books, bowls of stones, but still can't figure out how to tell a good rock from a meh rock. Working on it. My uncle lived in Seattle,, had a saw, huge tumbler, a rock workroom, pails of stones everywhere. He and my aunt traveled everyplace. Brazil for amethysts, Australia for opals, crystals in Arkansas...once, they were hunting rubies in a low creek in Burma, looked up, and there were tribesmen watching, who did NOT want them there-despite permission. I live in an area rich in geodes and am trying to figure those out, too. Sorry to run on, but so glad l found your channel! 🌻
