I have a lot more stones where this came from, follow to watch me cut more stones!
This video is not the ultimate, definitive guide to cutting stones. Please take the time to do your own research while diving into this awesome hobby. Some people even cut stones as a source of income!

It seems some people are just made for giving instruction. Your demeanor is so calming and endearing.
I'm not blushing or completely flattered 😊 BUT I AM
I like all the above stones!
This was 100% the best and most informative video I’ve seen on this yet. Thank you so much. I’m slowly gathering knowledge and money so I can get machines and tools needed to do this myself. Fascinating.
I have been canning for 4 yrs. so relaxing. Good money source too.
Cabbing
These are gorgeous! A labor of love for sure
Enjoyed your video and share your love for the hobby.
You are so easy to watch and you are very informative
This was my first time watching anything like this but I enjoyed it immensely and I'm more excited to start cutting, shaping, and polishing all of the rocks and stones that I now have! Great video and beautiful results, I will watch more of your presentations now that I found you!
I Love all rocks, as each one is unique & beautiful in its own way
I'm the king of collecting rocks, I'm doing it since my teenage years
3:20 the precision!! This made me nervous lol. Love your work!
Those turned out STUNNING
Love it blue and green are my favorite colors and that kind of ton.
Amazing stones!!! I would love to find those kinds of stones and put in my jewelry making. LOVE THEM!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Love the stash. Very informative vid.
Thank you for the great video. I love the Azurite pieces but the small garnet is sweet!!❤
love your work
Gorgeous!
Thank you best video. Straight to the point. New subscription 🙌
Thank you for this video you are awesome sharing your knowledge. Best helpful info iv come across
Please wear a mask and gloves when cutting those copper minerals - they can cause issues that take a long time to resolve if you absorb them into your skin. Nice video! Really nice stones too!
Great video. Informative. ❤️
AMAZING! I am obsessed with Malachite and Azurite!
Me too! The blues and greens are breathtaking
You do very well at your instruction.
Nice video! Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
thank you. it was very creative
Congratulations. great work and great pieces.. Like👍👍👍
¡Bello trabajo!
This video is pretty helpful and informative for what I'm trying to do myself. Also, there was a question asked about what is don't with the mud from the stones that were ground. I think that though the mud is toxic, it can be turned into valuable paint.
Thank you!
Beautiful work!
Thank you!
Always use protection while having fun
Helpful and very interesting, thanks..
Subscribed!
Great video
you deserve more subscribers! I just subbed!
Nicely done, new supporter here!
Enjoyed your video would like to know about working with labordorite. I’m not so interested in making jewelry just cleaning and polishing rough stone. Could you please give more details about what equipment I may need to begin and where to purchase. Thank You again for the awesome demonstration!
Complimenti al lavoro e a te
I have all of the same raw stones and a lot of labradorite and amazonite with blues! I’m so excited to cut and polish them. Great video
Very good and useful information you are Providing here .Keep in mind you are responsible for our hearing ability while we are watching the video so just more awareness into sound level between talking and the noise of the machines especially with headphones.
Where did you get these stones? They’re gorgeous, rough specimens! Love this video! Aside from the Dino bone, which you stated to have hounded yourself, am just so curious about where you get your others.

Just found you so new sub love your work my new bing watch 😁
What do you use to cut quartz? I love your video. I'm attempting to cut and polish without the specialty stone equipment..just curious what saw will cut them? Where do you purchase your raw stones? I have a bunch of california turquoise but yours is so much more appealing
so cool ! post more videos
OPAL IS MY FAVORITE OR AGATE'S JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR UNIQUE DIVERSITY ❤❤❤
Really need to get a rock saw setup
Loved the video! But, I want to see what you did with the quartz. Can you make a video of that too?
Protect yourself when having fun😊
Gem silica is the prettiest ever
Very interesting vid ... lots of infos about self made stone jewerly making which exactly what i want to learn .. thank u sir .. btw how much is one of those grinding machine cost ?
Wonderfull. How do you cut the stone to start with. I collect stuff, but it is too big to start with. Do not know what kit to get. Inspired. Thanks
I would love to see your stones in finished jewelry. I would also like to see the equipment up close under the hood. I like red Jasper, WE have a bit of it in my area. (NE AZ)
Wow amazing video. Question can you do this to make rocks very flat and smooth to be painted over with matte white such as basic rocks for kindness stones? 🎉😅
Really great video. Could your mystery stone be a chrysocolla?
Hi, I live on a canal in SWFL; where did you find your stones? On the west coast or the east coast of FL? Thanks for this vid, it was so informative!
Can you post a link to the machines and tools that you used to polish these beautiful gems?!
Hey man super interested in what you do. I’m having trouble finding a studio in NY with equipment to use. Do you know of a place that has equipment to use? Long shot but I gotta figure this out haha
You mentioned this was in Florida, what county? Will look for some clubs around Palm beach where I live. I have lots of uncut Emeralds that need to be worked on. Thanks for the video
Hi! I need an experienced opinion on this: is it true that only harder stones can achieve that glass like shine while softer stone can only shine like plastic/ resin ?
Silly question, but if your finger happens to touch the side of the blade during cutting, do you run the risk of taking off chunks of skin? I have yooperlite that I want to cut, and am a little hesitant holding the stones with my finger so close to the blade.
Collect the powder and use it for inlays in wood. Mix powder with clear gorilla glue. Works great.
I would like to know how to get into this. What equipment is best to start with?
Hi I'm new to cutting and polishing would like to know what's the name of brand of a good polish machine I should look into to buy for polishing ?
Parabéns meu amigo, mais um escrito amigo
Dude that's Awesome!!! Lovin it!!! Question, 9:20 is the water turned all the way up?
It could probably be turned up MORE but, it was wet enough. :)
50,000 grit seems ridiculous - it's like having a 16k screen when humans can barely distinguish between 4k and 8k
Can you please cut hard material like a ruby or emerald? Thank you.
I have large iolite grey stone I need to cut or just sell it. Weight 1063 grams. You have an excellent cutting machine
Is this just a different method than tumbling?
If you bezel that one wont it cover up the backside?
would it make sence to tumble them first, then just slice off a flat end and polish the sides... I feel like you could knock out a shit load in 1 day after the tumbles.. or does it not work like that?
Watching this as I cab a Botswana agate :)
Hey there! Exactly what is that machine called and where can I get one myself? I've been doing this teaching myself for a few years but using rotary handheld tools and I'm currently in the market for table grinders and machines. Any help is greatly appreciated! Love your videos! Very informative!
Search lapidary tools or cabbing machine. The one in the video, I can read the brand - it is Lortone. I just checked their website, (I am looking for a similar one) - the arbor with water cooling starts at $565 USD - the price does not include the wheels or the motor. Not sure how much those run. There is a 6" 6 wheel one from CabKing that I have seen a lot of people use - unfortunately, it is about $1500 USD.
The music on this reminds me of harvest moon for GameCube back in the day lol.
When you mention Garnett,is that actually a sapphire
Second stone is Chrysocolla. very nice
Hi , you said Florida so I’d love to know if I came to you to help me with putting holes in some Laborite ?
What is the machine called that you used to shape the stone?
Hi I love all the stone you polish what the name kind of machine did you use I am interested of that machine
When are you gonna be live for doing polishing
"Always protect yourself" Proceeds to be millimeters away from slicing fingers off. Great vid though lol.
I would do that for you just to learn or any job that would make life easier,
my favs are Opal, Chrysocolla, labradorite, Lapis Luzuli, theres so many
I have aquamarine bloodstone rose quartz amethyst pyrite agates peridot black obsidian black tourmaline Labradorite and green aventurine. I love them all, they're my babies and some are my guardian angels
Hi just saw your video love the colors... on one part of the video 16.59 there is a perfect picture of a Aztec woman wearing a Aztec style hat.....call me crazy but check it out on the right side 🤙🏼
Do you sell these stones
What name of that machine?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just got the cutter table, Is it dangerous to do it how you are here holding the rock by hand? Feeding it and making something to hold the stone has been my biggest problem and due to an accident that took my fingertip in a bench grinder about 15 years ago or more I am a bit gun shy to say the least. Is it just ok then to hold the stone by hand? It does not chatter to much that way?
You can handhold with care. Diamond blades don’t cut like woodworking blades. Blade life goes down if you twist the stone and jam the blade.
there should be no teeth on the blade you use, they are smooth
I'm from central Florida and love stone hounding. I'm a fabricator and building my own tools. Would love to talk to you
how the heck can you go from 220 to 600? Ive found that even going from 220 to 280 can be problematic depending on the actual mesh size boundaries within any grit. For example some 280 grits are actually more on the high end of 300-320. Every manufacturer has their own mesh tolerances regardless of what the "standard" is.
That third one is Chrysoprase, not Chrysocolla. Which is a good thing, Chryscolla is more like chalk, you can't really polish it. Correct me if I'm wrong, I just have never found Chryscolla that's well formed at multiple copper mines.
Ruby
White opal
Fire opal
Alexandrite
It a Star garnet.
Great content sir! Can you make an in depth video about polishing
Please be careful I think I read malachite is toxic when wet?
👍❤️
How do I do a better job with a file and sandpaper that this guy with his equipment
Uh, could you do me a favor and use a vice pliers? I lost a fingertip in a slicer yrs ago and I just can't stand to see anyone's hands _that _close to a spinning blade. Thanks.
No worries. The saw used in lapidary usually has a diamond blade and doesn't really "cut" but rather "grinds" through the material. You can put your hand right on it and the only injury might be a friction burn.
breathing in dino fossil dust... got a pair rocks on ya
very fun to watch except for the very first stone cut . Man yoy have to find a better way before you lose your digits.
you made a rupee from zelda!
I was gonna say this...looked like a Rupee you'd find in Zora's Domain
@@achilleuspetreas3828 i used to fish for rupees! lolol
@@invictusfarmer7188 bro, jumping off the waterfall and finding all the rupees before times up. Man, I need to play OOT again
Hi I wonder if you or anyone who subscribes, can advise me where I can find a gem cutter to cut my rough turquoise. I live in Ireland and we do not have many who are expert in turquoise.
12:39 did nobody saw that?
