We Found Real Copper Inside This Rainbow Rock! (Then Made a Gemstone!)

This week Caleb and I celebrate our 1 year anniversary on Youtube and take a rare 6 lb chunk of Copper Chrysocolla from Indonesia and attempt to turn it into a polished gemstone! On the outside, this massive stone looks like a wild rainbow, but cutting it open on our Highland Park automatic saw reveals a shocking secret inside...metallic native copper veins!

Check out the Cabochon we made at the end and let us know what you think of the shiny copper inclusions in the comments! Thanks for watching!
