Dear collectors of pretty polished rocks,
If you are a dealer, and look to stock up new Inventory, this is for you: I will be in Tucson on the 5th of January. I will be open to book video calls if you would like to stock up some new agate flats.
A few months ago, my video producer Clemens and I had the idea to make a little fun video about how to not cut agates.
One of the worst things you can do when cutting agates for good quality specimens is to cut through “windows” and interrupt the banding within the stone.
So for the fun of it, I am showing you this week how to not cut agates by cutting them through windows.
A while ago on my YouTube channels I also posted a video with the topic: how to get better results with cutting agates. In the video description, there is a guideline with important factors you may want to consider when cutting higher quality agates.
But don’t worry I am making up for this new video where I am sacrificing agates by offering some of the best agates I have kept in my collection, on this week's website update!!
You may recognize the two top pieces from shorts I have posted on my YouTube channel a while ago which the Laguna specimen is also known as the „my mind was blown agate“
You will also find some new rarely offered Chinese agates on my website, about 8 years after the mining area has been closed down in China!
Wishing everyone a great weekend,
Joshua
