One of my best days hounding… out with friends at Indian Creek and we all managed to find some nice Fairburn Agates! It’ll probably be a long time before I have a day like this again!

Fairburn Agate Finds! A once in a lifetime hunt at Indian Creek!

A group of friends and I decided to hike on a muddy day at Indian Creek during some rain, and then again the following day in some much nicer conditions! We ...

Friends of the channel! We are so close to 400 followers. While I'm working on my latest rock video involving some of my favorites... (Teepee Canyon Agates!)...

Super cool idea from my buddy Evan! I plan to snag one and use the images as art for the shop…

Good news, this year's much-anticipated agate calendar is ready! Start 2025 with a colorful agate image every month, and transport yourself into the world of close-up wonders. If you've got a rockhound in your life or just want some REALLY cheap wall art, you can grab one of these and hang 12 agate images when you're done! https://www.lulu.com/shop/evan-ludes/ultra-macro-agates/paperback/product-7keggyn.html?page=1&pageSize=4

I haven’t posted much in a minute but I’ve been working hard and will have a TON of new cabs, including some matched pairs and sets, and some polished specimens listed on the store tomorrow! I’ve also been dropping a lot of new content on YouTube, search ‘Cedar and Stone Creations’ on that platform and subscribe if you’re into that sort of thing!

I’ve been doing a series of shorts on YouTube called ‘What’s in this rock?’ and they’ve been kinda popular… check them out and give me a subscription over there if you want to follow along on some adventures and see how things are made, if you have ideas I’m all ears!

SLOWLY 🐢🐢🐢 trying to get better at wire wrapping… with the help of several hours of YouTube and a few colorful words I think I’ve at least gotten to a spot where I can make a design repeatable AND I’m able to customize it for tons of different shapes. Made this Amazonite piece for a family member today. I’ve never had great small scale fine motor skills and working on jewelry isn’t something that has come naturally to me. It takes work, practice, and patience. I’m enjoying learning so far.

A bunch of new cabs headed for the polish stage! I have a few more pieces to finish up in the coming days… as they get wrapped up they will be hitting the shop in the next week or two! Keep an eye out at cedarandstone402.etsy.com or the link in our profile if something catches your eye! Something like 15-20 cabochons and a few finished jewelry pieces will be the final total this time around. It’s been a lot of fun working a variety of material and learning A LOT as I do.

A beautiful, freeform Montana Moss Agate cabochon I recently finished. I’m hoping to make it out to the Yellowstone River sometime this spring before the runoff causes it to rise to find some of these beauties myself for future pieces! Not that nature needs any help, but I find something so special and satisfying about going from rough rock I’ve collected myself to a finished cab or piece of jewelry. I love how different light plays off the mossy inclusions in these beautiful stones! A couple dozen cabs, including this one, will be hitting the store in the next couple weeks as I get them all through the polish stage.

Haven’t posted much lately… had a lot of snow to move and life has been chaotic, then we dealt with a round of illness in the house. Finally got a couple hours on the flat lap this afternoon to work on some projects! Really loving how all these cabochons are coming along. Keep an eye out for more soon!
