hey what's up everybody welcome back for another lapidary video so excited for this one because
we're going to be polishing two agates in this video they're both right here they're adopt
they're ready to go let me show you what we're going to be working in this video so the first
agate we're going to be polishing is this thunder egg agate that i found up on the north shore of
lake superior on the minnesota side it's got some really pretty details hidden in there we're going
to make them shine and pop and it's going to be really fun really really excited about this one
and then the second one we're gonna be polishing this guy right here we're gonna be taking a lot
of material down on this side because it's got that nasty fracture in there but the bands on
it are absolutely beautiful so let's fire up our cabber 6 cabbing machine we'll get started
so with this beautiful lake superior agate we were able to get that weird fracture out
of there i can't exactly remember which side i think was over here
it's gone so i'm excited to work on getting all these nasty flat spots out of there and then
for this thunder egg agate it i'm really excited it's got a huge flat spot right here but i'm gonna
work it pretty hard on the 280 grit softback disc we're gonna do that right now get the water going
eventually there it is
so we got both of these beauties through the 280 grit wheel and
we're going to move on to the 600 1200 and 3000 really excited to see
how these are gonna fare i mean i know this one's gonna turn out look at how beautiful those bands
are looking so far this one i'm a little nervous i know this pocket that runs right through here
i know that's going to be good but i just i'm curious how this host rock is going to turn out
so we'll get going on the 600 wheel we'll meet back up with you at the 3000 grit right there
so we've run through the 600 and the 1200 and we now have the 3000 grit and the final stage which
is the cerium oxide disc our beautiful agates are looking beautiful and i just want to say if
you guys stick around for the end i'm going to be throwing my macro lens on so we can take a closer
look at these especially this guy right here it's looking magnificent i'm gonna
get the water going on the 3000 and turn the cabber six back on and i just want to say too
if you guys like my cabbing machine i am going to put my affiliate link with kingsley north in
the description box below so you can go check it out i really love this unit it's a lot of fun and
i've been working on these for i probably say 20 minutes total
and we probably got about five 10 minutes left so we'll get going on this one wrap it up
all right so we got them through the last two stages here i'm just doing some cleaning up
here since the last stage is a bit of a sprayer so it gets everything real wet um but yeah let
me get all this cleaned up here and then we'll take a peek at these beautiful polished gems
look good feel good you know what i mean let's take a closer look at our polished beauties here
is that thunder egg agate all polished up looks pretty cool it is very very unique and i'm going
to throw my macro lens on like i said we'll take a closer look at those beautiful details in there
so yeah i'd say that thunder egg lake superior agate it's pretty cool love that
