 Hello and welcome back to the Rugged Rockhound. Today it's a Saturday and instead of going out rockhounding, we're trying to save money on fuel, Tim's here with me and we are going to cut a whole bunch of rocks today. I've got buckets of stuff that I've just never gotten around to. Yeah we're just going to start cutting stuff and we're going to cut for a few hours and just roll through a montage of a whole bunch of stuff we're going to cut for you guys. Here we have the first piece it's a little bit of petrified wood cut across it lengthwise and yeah it's got a nice wood texture in it. Next we got another one of those limonite cubes this one was damaged like that so I felt like it'd be okay to go ahead and cut it and nice got some pirate in that one okay we got a whole bunch of the bird's eye stuff that we hadn't cut open yet that tend to have the fossils in them so we're just going to start going through a whole bunch of those first one oh it's got a little shell in it it's not very pretty here's the next one oh yep it's got a nice little seashell fossil in it next shell let's take a look yeah that's an interesting one it's still kind of hard to see it but it's still a shell here we have the next shell oh that's a better one it's bigger still uh wish the color was better so tim found this little piece of a geode that had a little bit of agate banding on the bottom and decided I'm just gonna cut through that and see what we get oh whoa that's not what I expected I thought the banding was gonna keep going through it's got this circle right in the middle oh here we have another piece of wood looks good from the outside yep let's see what we got and it looks good in the inside like that little hole right there here's another piece of wood and it's a little taller than the sauce that got off a little bit oh yeah that's that's kind of nice got some colors in it some patterns so here's a piece of agate that we had and it was much bigger than this and it had a series of fractures running through it and it just fell all to pieces but these are the nicer pieces uh you might be able to see some uh light coming through it not sure if you can but yeah at least we got a few nice little pieces out of it back to the bird's eye this one should be a shell fossil it broke a little bit unfortunately now I can already see the tip of the shell oh well that's the first time we've seen it bi-colored like that like one thing down here one thing up here so this must have gotten filled in with the the calcite and then this up here maybe just got filled in with clay here we go oh you can already see it's gonna be a good shell oh here we go oh yes I love it when we get them like that oh that's a beautiful shell okay big piece of wood now I was worried about this one had fractures so Tim cut it right along the fracture oh nice nice you can see this is where he didn't quite finish the cut so I'll have to smooth that off but that looks nice it's a good piece of wood next bird's eye can see a tip of a shell hey it's kind of that double like again not as good as the last one but that's still cool next bird's eye oh okay yeah it's a shell uh not a very good one just because it's hard to see but still it's a shell here's the next bird's eye broke at the bottom again huh well okay that's three today now we've had where it's the bi-color where that you know it's got like I don't know probably mud at the top and then cast it at the bottom this time I had a another geode sitting around let's take a look whoa huh I had a tiny pocket it's got this little rim and then huh that's kind of cool this piece of wood had a fracture going through it that way so I tried to follow it and yeah it shattered on one side but it's nice what I did get on this side though definitely very nice so I've had this kind of funky shaped red horn coral for a while but I wanted to try and cut into so it's broke right here that looks nice oh look at that oh that's beautiful isn't it oh that's nice it's kind of cut slant wise through the coral it's really quite neat so this one I was cutting and it shattered right down the middle so I was like huh oh look at you can see the whole shell but instead of being cut nicely it broke so that's kind of interesting okay this is a little bit of that black agate that we hadn't cut yet you can see a little bit showing there all right yeah kind of what I thought I thought that most of it was here and it was gonna disappear as it went further in it's still nice though you still get some nice little agate there so remember that piece of the black agate that I was like I haven't decided how I want to cut it yet decided to cut it this way okay here it goes um yeah Trent where'd your color go I guess it didn't really have it to be we call it black agate right yeah well you got the black down here and then you got kind of not so black there it's still neat like I think that once I maybe grind these surfaces then have the light shine and have the light shine through I think then it's gonna look really nice okay for the final one this one I took that piece that we had and I went ahead and ground the side of it and let's see light come through it oh look at that look at that uh that beautiful black agate and there's our rock cutting video for today we had some nice stuff we went through quite a few different things and they were all pretty fun I hope you enjoyed it and remember there's treasure everywhere
