In 2022 we found many Lake Superior agates along Minnesota's North Shore, we explored beaches, rivers, creeks, and random spots. We also found many different Minnesota minerals! On top of that we cut many agates from our region as well as around the world! We cut fossils and other minerals including: ammonites, thunder eggs, stromatolites, agatized coral, and amazing specimens like oolitic ironstone jasper! Thanks for an amazing year and I look forward to 2023!

*Anyone who is cutting any material with a lapidary saw should read their equipments instruction manual before use and perform proper safety guidelines.*
