- I cut open my personally found Lake Superior agates on my lapidary saw and took the best of the best and polished them! Some of these banded gems had beautiful parallax banding, which was amazing to see, especially polished!

Will you be putting the semi circle ones on etsy? I do check regularly but I guess they get snapped up super fast. I'm really drawn to those. Really don't want to miss them!
Taylor, how soon before this batch hits your Etsy store?
It always drops the night before
@@AgateDad I guess I don't check at the right time then, from the UK.
Agate Dad I absolutely love your videos. It's a learning experience for me. I am new to finding and collecting rocks although I did like them as a child. But since watching your videos, I'm more aware around my surrounding soul. Of course, I look for rocks everywhere I go. 😂 Even if I'm walking to the mailbox but I have learned so much just from watching your videos and it sharp. Of time. I am better now at spotting a agate Now and of course, I take my tune and half year old granddaughter with me. She also loves rocks. Although she Tries to bring every single rock home, she finds.😂 But now she's getting good at spotty a agate Because winner of your videos, I was just watching. 10 minutes ago, my green daughter. Mia said look, Grandma, he has a agate Rock, so she's getting pretty good herself.
I'm sure everyone watching your channel shares the thrill of discovering beauty with you. It's quite the vicarious experience! Thanks.
I love living vicariously through TH-camrs!❤
I love your choice of the word "thrill"! You got this so right!
Absolutely!
22:40 Shocked to see rainbows in the dark quartz areas! Absolutely beautiful. That was my fav easy, and if I could afford it, I would so wire wrap it into a pendant to wear. It's just so beautiful and unique.
That was my favorite, too. I am also a wire wrapper. 🤩❤️

I'm happy to see I'm not the only one who forms personal relationships with their favorite rocks! Lol.
It was an honor watching you cut your personal agates. I know it must have been hard, but now you know whats inside and how beautiful they are. Thanks for sharing with all of us! You're AWESOME! 😊
The butterfly was my favorite! All beautiful! Thanks for sharing! 😊
That half eye agate is AMAAAAAZIIIING
My favorite is the one that looks like a sunrise inside with the purple ish quartz ❤
It’s so cool watching you open these rocks and thinking that every one of them has a different, unique story. Rocks are so amazing!!! Thanx for sharing everything with us! ✌🏻❤️😃
You bring this 70 year rock hound so much joy! If I’m having a bad day all I have to do is watch you! Honey, you do it right! 👏
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: You and me both!😊
Same here, 72 years old and loving these videos
The rainbow in the dark quartz really caught me off guard but it is so beautiful! You did beautiful work on these, thank you for sharing these beautiful pieces of Mother Nature
This video highlights why LSA is so amazing. Every agate has something unique to show, even ones with quartz are beautiful. Thanks Taylor this video is a joy for me, because all the agates were local.😎😎😎
When you opened the smoky/amethyst agate looked like a butterfly for sure.
The dark ones with the half circles are my favorite. Polished, they look like they have stars in the background.
Awesome... very unique on the inside of all of them.
Wow, some really super rocks. The one with the perfect half circle…impressive (amethystish). I hope you don’t regret cutting your faves.
The one that was gorgeous that you said was hard to polish…I’m glad you’re keeping 1/2. The first one you cut…amazing!
11:26 I see Egyptian eyes. Not quite the Eye of Horus. Soo beautiful.
Many of the quartz snowflakey rocks also reminded me of frosty winter trees.
اونی که بعد برش شبیه پروانه شد چقدر زیبا و بینظیر بود😍😍 یکی از مهمترین کارها که بابا عقیق بخوبی انجام میده انتخاب جهت برش زدن سنگهاست.......😊❤❤ پسر کار تو فوق العادست 👌👌❤👍👍
11:23 Eclipse agate?? Gorgeous. Thank you for cutting these babies
Edit: Also wanted to say thank you for how you explain what you're doing/thinking! Very helpful insight for a new rockhead. Your videos have really pushed me to deep dive into an interest I've always had. Cheers to you and yours eh
I love the last agate you cut. I love the shading in color. I love the sunset one also - so unique! You do such a great job cutting and polishing. It's so much fun to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Those agates look so beautiful on the inside and polished. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Happy may!. From Jordan
Thanks for sharing your talents. Beautiful agates.
Thanks boss!
Taylor your work is phenomenal ❤
Thank you!!
You, sir, are the master agate polisher! I loved to see the before & afters! 🫣Each one was polished beautifully, bringing out the goods from inside. I love them 🩷! Thanks for your hard work, sharing your love of 'Rocks' thru your channel. We rockhounds appreciate it!!😎
This was a wonderful presentation of your polished masterpieces!! They are so incredibly beautiful! Thank you for sharing this awesome video!!❤
I'm a fan of the cloudy stones just as much as the banded ones. Some of them are beautiful when polished- they remind me of foggy nights, where everything is a bit hazy and soft.
Comparing the ridges on your fingertips to the bands really puts into perspective how tiny some of them are, it’s incredible
That dark beauty looks like a dark butterfly! Superior agates are awesome.
Always enjoy your videos! That Quartz one looks like lungs & that interesting banded one that you are keeping looks like a fingerprint. So many unique choices. Great batch!
This was great. Even the so called duds have a special beauty.
Outstanding video!
I personally thought everyone
of your Agates were Beautiful
before and after cutting.
Loved watching!
❤❤❤
All I can say is WOW! Mother Nature can do some crazy things but these??? She nailed it!
Good morning 🌞 so pretty but that dark one with the 1/2 circle is beautiful! Even more beautiful after its polish 🤩
Thank you for cutting your Lake Superior Agates, so exciting!!!
The sunset one is awesome
11:14 LOVE this one…how the heck it get a round half circle in there? For it to remain non disturbed for eon’s , to form that geometry just blows the mind…
I think some of those were so unique and so beautiful
You can find more Agates, but here in Ferndale/Bellingham ,WA , they
are very rare.
Count your blessings!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
@22:40 OMG the rainbows in there! So pretty!
I love the half moon one. I never get your videos until the ones you cut are gone already.
Is there a tiny little amethyst pocket in the quartz on the right half of the last one? It's so cute!❤😊 15:24
Fantastic cutting and polishing session!
My wife & I really enjoy your channel. Especially your excitement when you find or cut a beautiful agate. I wanted to suggest you doing a video where you went out finding cool rocks etc and in the same video cut open the rocks you just found. That would be amazing.
Amazing how beautiful these agates are!❤
I just love your child like delight over cool rocks.. It just makes me smile..😊
I’m going to Lake Superior this Sunday super excited 😍
Good luck!
Prettiest agate I’ve ever seen! It looks like a moon set! It’s gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful agates. The butterfly agate at 20:40 is my favorite. I wish you'd said a bit more about the beautiful iridescent flashes emanating from the dark upper part. Good work!
Oops! 22:40.
Wow, they are all so beautiful and so different! Must have been gratifying to take them all the way from rockhounding to final polish. You did a great job on the finish.✨
Great video as always! I still collect old coins, Pokémon cards. I'm 32 and still love it as if I were a kid. Pokémon has taken me over, I have over $12k of individual cards😂
The agate at 6:44 reminds me of paisley lol. Some unusual ones.
I love your delight in the reveal . Gotta love rocks
oof, pullin' my heartstrings with that last cut! 🥹 the lovely thing about it is that it's so all-around beautiful and unique, you can truly display it at any angle and be blown away. the husk is gorgeous, the ultra-orange bands are gorgeous, that teeny agate pocket is gorgeous, and I love how you can see the orange through the quartz pocket. definitely needs a rotating stand! 🤩
I am with you on cutting. My husband and I watch your videos from Canada. Hubby likes to cut them I like to keep them natural especially Lake Superior as they are pretty small up here on the CA side.
Absolutely beautiful agates!
The dark smokey quartz was beautiful, followed by the stone with disappearing bands.
I really liked that last big one. The quartz looks like waves on a beach.
As a Tennessee Gal, that last orange one is SWEET! Go Big Orange!
I love my agates, like you love your agates! I remember where I found each one! I have not cut any…so I think I might try it after this! So glad I found you!
Agate ❤ Forever Baby!! ✌🏻🫶🏻👊🏻
Awesome macro shots! Go Taylor! 😄😄😄
That was awesome! Thank you!
Wow, wow, your channel just popped up and what a thrill!! I'm a northern Wisconsiner and an agate hound my whole long life, it's a family tradition. I've always wanted to slice a lot of my collection, but never thought I could. I want my own saw like you have now!! ❤ 😅
you are a “ROCKSTAR”! love your enthusiasm and talent.
You rock!!
Hey Tyler. New subscriber and huge fan....thanks to stumbling across your videos, you've enspired me beyond no belief! So thank you for that. I'm rockhoundin and cutting myself and seriously thinking on goin to school for it.....but I LOVE the dark one with the circles you said looked like a sunset ...I thought kinda looked like an explosion but anyways thank you for everything especially your videos...if not for that I wouldn't have a new outlook on life....keep em comin. You're the best...oh I'm in Kentucky BTW
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
lovely how you remember finding it in the river then cut it and are delighted ❤
Love the quartz ones
All beautiful and unique love agates
you absolutely found the best agate in existence. congrats!
I love to hear you laugh!!! I laugh too! These are gorgeous & I watch you all the time you post!
Beautiful stuff man really enjoyed this one!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The one with the bands that peter out looks like a finger print. Thank you for sharing this video. 😃😃
Beautiful!!
Love these beautiful agates
Me too!
3:07 & 10:57 are my personal favourites and also 7:35, that one feels like the hard working banding just resign all together.
Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your absolutely gorgeous stones. Catch you in the next one.....🫶☺️
7:40 - dem bands, 11:05 looks like a space scene like a sun or inverse black hole
Your reveal at 11:25ish jumped off the screen at me as a beautiful little BAT face with amazing ears!
Great vid as always. Those close ups are great esp now YT pinch & zoom.
Fun to watch. What kind of blades do you use. I have a wet saw that I use for tile and marble but am told that I need a different blade for agates
Nice colour❤❤
the smoky/amethyst agate is something special and different
18:24 if you want to avoid the glare when shooting the agates, you should try using a polarizing filter on your camera :-)
Interesting! Never heard of that!
Very nice mate 👏👏
Thank you❤❤❤❤
I like the quartz!
the unique one banding looks like sound waves
Good morning sir! My wife(Sonshine Legacy) and I are both on here from Grove City in west central MinneSNOWta! She really enjoys rock collecting. We are hoping to get up to the North Shore soon. You seem to be a super guy and do some cool things with rocks. Have a blessed day!🙂
The one towards the end looks like the solar eclipse!
Thanks!
Thanks soo much!!
Hi mijo I love them....To beautiful to pick only one ❤
Can you explain how they get their bands?
I think the ones with the quartz in them still look pretty cool :)
You describe it so well, knowing from where and when each was found, and I want to know what’s in my (daughter’s skilled eye) favorite aggies, too! Can’t ya shave just a deep corner , to keep the nodule relatively intact? I wish we had X-ray machine, lol.. but they’ve got to be cut to learn , to know…
I'm def team agate! These are all SO spectacular!! And thanks to you, I'm now obsessed with cutting rocks open. The husband bought me a 7 inch saw for Mother's Day and I can't stop cutting. And then the rigged his angle grinder on to a table for and I polished my first agate! But now I'm wondering if I should start sharing mt cuts and projects on TH-cam Or IG? 🤔🙃
those are true Gems of Agates ye got there! i really need to do some cuts soon! i got rocks with Epic folding i want to work on, but other projects have delayed them a bit hehe. so much to do, so little time. i also need a way to polish the cut faces, im considering a regular belt sander for now lol. (lapidary flat lap tables are pricy haha)
It looks like an eye!
At 26:41 that looks like a flying saucer going over dark water and causing the sunset sky to band!
a lot of small beautiful agats
Ooooo which half of the black quartz/giant eye/french bull dog face are you listing on Etsy? I’m gonna try and snatch one of those up real quick 😂
