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, we have a little Kentucky Agate that I found and cut! It mostly is quartz, but the fortification banding on the outside—yellow and a purple/crimson color—more than makes up for the quartz mass.
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.
Witness a crimson and yellow jackpot emerge from the rough. Sometimes you cut 100 rocks to find one masterpiece like this.
The lab is always active. Follow our official Facebook page for daily updates, fresh finds from the creek, and community votes on what we cut next.
