I head out to the streambeds and gravel beds of East-Central Kentucky to find hidden beauties millions of years in the making.
Whether it's hunting for that one-in-a-hundred "Firefly" agate or cutting open a geode, the thrill is in the discovery. Welcome to Liam's Lab.
This month, I have probably the only documented red, yellow, black, and blue Kentucky agate found in the whole county! The definition in the red isn't very strong, but it is a ribbon red agate. Super excited about this piece!
Kentucky agate isn't just any rock; these are truly special quartz formations. You'll find them in a stunning array of vibrant colors—deep reds, warm oranges, even striking blacks.
Discovered right here in Kentucky's ancient sediments, every perfect specimen feels like unearthing a genuine piece of the past.
Often times, people have difficulty pulling red and black out of the hotspots. I found one in a completely unknown locality over 15 miles from the famous area.
The lab is always active. Follow our official Facebook page for updates, fresh finds from the creek, and community votes on what we cut next.
