we got a brand new blade put on our 10-inch saw
and we're going to be cutting open some lake superior agates as well some mystery rocks
and i got these sent to me by kurt because he needs some help finding out what is going
on on the inside of these stones and i am most excited to see what's going on inside this agate
and these two i'm not sure what they are i think this one is either chert or limestone or something
i'm not an expert with all things rocks but right here above my thumb is an imprint of a brachiopod
little shell and that's really cool so we're going to start this cutting session by cutting these two
lake superior agate nodules we'll do this one first and then this one second
and i need an extension cord hold on
i get so excited to get cutting that i forget to even plug this in sometimes
all right let's try again
all right let's check this baby out oh look at that right there
all right i'm so excited you know it's gonna be good we already saw the bands beautiful
quartz on the inside look at those stunning bands right around the outside i love that
that's awesome all right let's move on to this guy also very excited
alright i have not peaked and i just saw literally while i was cutting it when it got wet it has eyes
and a little bit of bands right here so i'm hoping there's eyes or something on the inside
let's take a peek oh that is awesome man it's got some fractures in there as i always say
it's common with like superior agates they've been through a lot but those are sweet those are
really beautiful bands we are going to move on to cutting these guys right here i'm going to cut
this one right down the middle and probably same with this one i want to save that beautiful shell
imprint i'm going to kind of like this just to see what's going on the inside i
i really don't know sometimes they're bland sometimes they're surprising so we'll just see
all righty let's check these babies out have them peeked at them
here's the one with the little shell imprint
it's kind of what i expected it's a it's a little bland it almost
well that's kind of interesting right there but not a whole lot going on on the inside
of this let's check out this big guy right here after this is getting wet more yellows and some
oranges start showing up so i'm actually really excited to see what's going on on the inside
interesting that this exterior kind of pitting comes through the inside but if
this yellow stuff wasn't all over and pitted like this would be really pretty material
to work with but that's just so packed in with this i don't even know what this is so you gotta
cut it to find out what's going on inside so let's uh let's move on to this guy right here
i bet this is a moss i don't see any visible bands got lima knight right here let's see if i'm right
all right so we got a rinsed off and you see all these little red speckles i believe the
red speckles are hematite hematite hematite i gotta say totally believe that this is an agate
especially that limonite this is one of the most interesting insides of one without bands that i
think i've ever seen like this is so unique it's got such beautiful coloring going on on the inside
not at all disappointed i mean we're always hoping for bands and stuff but this is just so
interesting that i'm a little amazed especially with all these beautiful speckles like this
would be a beautiful one to polish up all right let's cut that last one see it's got
that beautiful white splotch right there comes through to this side right in theory hoping it
runs through and we get a big beautiful banded face on the inside won't know until we cut it
man oh man i am excited and nervous i think it's going to be really unique
the exterior is so unique let's check it out well i was right it did run through
just not as full as i thought it would but either way the inside of this is very beautiful a lot of
really interesting pockets this is kind of just looks like it's just been mashed you know but that
that is so cool this is pretty neat it's unique i think that's what i love about
it most it's just so unique pretty cool not at all disappointed with that i'm just taking it in
it's really beautiful as always i had a ton of fun cutting open those agates and
really happy to help curt out getting to see what is going on on the inside
