this is porphyry it is a really amazing mineral in these orange
pieces in it are feldspar crystals and today we're going to use our 10 inch saw
and cut up a whole bunch of these to see what's going on in the inside make some
slabs out of it for future polishing projects let's get started
so we've made some pretty sweet Cuts so far but I gotta say that this one is probably one of my
favorite slabs that we have made as well as this one the oranges are just so vibrant in
there but it does have these weird little pockets that might make polishing a little tricky but
is what it is so we will move on to cutting a couple more small ones and
then we will finish up by slabbing this guy right here which looks like
it is just chocked full of those feldspar crystals so we'll go small bigger biggest
I got a little worried with this one when I saw this I was like oh man there's not going
to be much going on in there but this backside is really really pretty so that made me happy
now we're going to move on to this guy right here and never know which way to
cut on these guys so I think it doesn't I don't think it really matters it's just a
mess inside a mess of feldsparry goodness so we'll just uh we'll just wing it on that
one there's not really Rhyme or Reason to which way to cut it so we'll just go for it
whoa oh that is crazy that is really really jam-packed wow I'm really pleased with that
that is so beautiful it'll make for some good slabs let's keep going
so we got a ton of really beautiful cuts from that very last piece of pour free a lot of awesome
slabs I'm so happy about it oh we're gonna have a lot of fun with these pieces and they are a softer
material but they do polish up very nice so very very happy with all these cuts that is awesome
here's all of our pieces and thank you all so much for watching if
you liked it leave a thumbs up and we'll see you on the next one bye
