Turning a Cut Agate into a Polished Gem w/ Cabbing Machine | Lapidary

Join along as we use our cabbing machine to polish a beautiful Lake Superior Agate! I received this amazing agate from rockhound 79, his instagram link will be below. Huge thanks to him for the gift of this beautiful gemstone. I call this agate, the "Maple Agate" because I think it looks like a maple tree, what do you think? In this lapidary video we run through the wheels on our cabber 6 from Kingsley North (LINK BELOW) and turn this roughly cut mineral into a polished specimen! Thank you all for watching, I hope enoyed the video :)
