Anyone that wants a start 90 dollars will buy you a saw then 60 dollars I bought an orbital sander at harbor freight . Does not take a lot of $ to start a passion . HAPPY ROCK HOUNDING and may you all be Blessed in life ✌

    beautiful! Your brave to cut the amethyst. Thinking
    you like amethyst as much as I do!
    Super nice you cut those for your friend. One thing learned for sure is it will be a no brainer to cut any nodules you have or find. Truly worth it...

The first one and 3rd were kind of opposites of each other- the first had red around the outside, and the third had the red INside! My favorite (and smallest 😢) ones I’ve found are the red ones. That color catches my eye when I’m hunting.😊 Thanks for the video and sharing, Taylor!😁

    The ones that don't have any lines, or only faint lines I call "Ghost Agates". There is a guy in Carlton Co. that studies that particular type of agate because the theory is that that type may better explain exactly how agates were formed. I personally feel guilty EVERYTIME I break a nodule. Good video, thank you.
