Hey @agatedad I would let those slabs dry out real good(not in the sun), and Paleobond them to make sure they stay stable during cutting. Awesome buy!

Yes, you made a great $20 purchase. Also, the black areas around the cells is the actual bone and the cells were filled in with Agate. Depending on how much the black areas undercut, you should still be able to get lots of cabochons from those slabs. The Agate should polish great, the black is a maybe. I look forward to seeing the results in an upcoming video.

I think you got a good deal. I, like you, wish the dino bone had more color but you can only work with the color you have. If I had the slabs, I would freeform some, perhaps trying to 'recess' some of the surface to change the pattern arrangement of the cells. Joan E. Landers

@deviousmousey
Жыл бұрын
Stabilizing stones/fossils is the act of adding a glue/epoxy to a porous or fractured material to prevent it from crumbling. The most common options are: thin CA glue like starbond or opticon, pretty simple, apply glue and let dry, then cab. Hxtal 2 part epoxy, there's a bit more process to this, it's a very expensive epoxy, but dries water clear and hard as glass. Lastly there's cactus juice, never used it but it's the most complex. Requires vacuum chamber and pressure pot. With dinosaur bone, the actual fossil webbing is usually quite porous and has a good chance of breaking, like the edge of the slab in your video. By filling the voids with CA glue or epoxy, it acts like the mortar between bricks and hold itself together. Also when polishing, softer porous webbing undercuts from the agate a LOT, but the Stabilizing hardens the webbing quite a bit and prevents undercutting. Only the absolute best top quality dinosaur bone is so silicified that even the webbing is hard as agate, the rest can all benefit from Stabilizing, though it's not always needed.

I have the same 10" Hi Tech Diamond Saw that you use (plus a 16 " HP, overkill for smaller rocks. Suggestion/request....when cutting, you understandably speed up the video. I would like to get a feel for how fast you go through your rocks, as it seems to take me forever, even with a fresh blade. A clock in the background would be helpful in that regard. At my age (73), it becomes painful/tedious to make a cut through a 3-4 inch rock, especially if I just need to increase the force into the blade. I'm looking for perspective. Thanks.
