      Yeah rotf 😂😂😂. Ya need to tighten up those arm muscles…that gave you away! Bc a lb of agates looks harder for you to hold than a lb of cookies. A pound is a pound is a pound. Looks like a Mummy Butt with some green algae on the exterior 🍑.
      That bluish agate would make great cabs…a bluish butt….I guess I could PAINT it!! #DADA

    AgateDad, your videos have inspired me, a rock collector of 6 decades (literally) to cut my rocks and I have been doing that thing. So here is a question though: how do you decide which direction to cut? In the video you referenced that cutting one of those agates in one direction made you feel funny, and I can relate to this. So i guess part of it is experience that leads to intuition? Are there other general ways to at least make an educated guess? I have a ton of agates and other material I have picked up in Mexico and I just don't want to ruin them. I'd love to buy some agate nodules to practice on before getting brave with the stuff I've collected in places I won't be going back to. Do you have recommendations for reliable sources for smallish agate nodules? (Afraid I'm not ready to spring 200$ on the big stuff when I'm not sure about myself yet.)

    Watching the agates being cut and seeing the secrets they have inside was magical. The three agates were absolutely worth the money. I could not choose a favorite because they are each a different kind of beautiful. I really hope you will show them after they are polished.

  • @allielightfoot2769

    If you bake Brazilian agate at around 400 - 500 degrees it will turn from blue to orange to red hues depending on how long you bake it for. I cut my slabs to desired thickness then layer them in clean sand and bake for a few hours to desired color.
