Thanks for watching, you rock! 🪨
You Rock!!! We Love your videos!
It's a gneiss day, don't take it for granite!
Well I rock because Agate the moves 😎
Such beautiful colours particularly this batch.
Some of the fractured ones are so pretty that they are still desirable. Perhaps they could be offered in small batches of 'unpolished, wonky & broken ones' at a bargain price, maybe with some materials for hand polishing them, to bring out the best in them?
I ran across your channel a few days ago and I have been binge watching. Never in my 73 years did I ever think I would be interested in someone cutting apart rocks. I never expected the beauty that hides inside rocks. Thank you for showing me just how beautiful mother nature can be. The very best part of your video's is the joy that come from you when you open a rock and the inside is just beyond beautiful. Thank you again for making these video's. Don't stop. You are showing people like me how wonderful Mother Nature can be.
You’re so kind, I’m so glad our paths crossed and you get to see this passion :) it’s so wonderful!
I can't stop binge watching it's awesome😊
He is fun to watch, isn't he?
Love all Tello me if is posible to get some of your leftobers?
If so, Tell me how
As a colorblind person I love when you talk about the colors that are inside. It helps me better understand what I’m seeing. No pressure to include this in your videos but I’m just pointing out the fact that I enjoyed it.
Cold wet miserable day today in the UK so I've been binge watching your vids. I love the way you always say "we" as in "we found or we cut " . Makes us feel realy included . Love the channel it gets better and better so keep going 😊
Those are some beautiful pieces. Some of those slabs would make beautiful jewelry. I’m 75, but would love to be able to do that. My grandson has been interested in this stuff since he was 5. He’s 18 now, how I would love doing this with him. He will be starting college this fall. He’s mom makes jewelry and I can see how adventurous this would be for both of them. However, life !
It’s like opening a bunch of Christmas presents! I like to see what shapes the bands make. I’ve seen the outline of continents, rain drops, birds in flight. What guides you to cut one direction or another, if you don’t have any “windows” on the outside. I am loving watching you do this.
Your videos have inspired my soon to be 8yr old niece to be a rock hound!! Looking to get her first tumbler!! These rocks are beautiful.
That is awesome!!! Tell her to keep looking down!
Gosh the "ghost looking one" at 22:54 tickles my goth-girl heart. I love the white-red with dark shadows. A nice vampire esthetic ♡
My favorite is the water scene with the clouds! Absolutely beautiful rocks. Thanks for sharing.
The thing I love about your channel is the level of genuine excitement when you find something cool. And that you don’t lie about what you find. I cannot believe that those fake channels who find gold and precious “glass”.
I love the reveal laugh when opening the real stunners. Like pure joy!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Those are stupendous agates! How did you procure them? Inquiring minds want to know!
Great video ... I especially love the different colors from around the world ....I am so used to, basically, the colors of the Lake Superior agates that I forget there are agates from all around the world that are unique to their localities. Thanks for sharing these lovely stones ... Happy hunting !
Beautiful agates.
Yes they are!
I can't even pick a favorite! They are all gorgeous! Enjoy! 😊
What a beautiful batch of agates! Most of them are super studs! So AWESOME! Gorgeous job polishing them....as always! 😊
My grandson ani I love your show! Today we placed our first order from your shop and KJ said to get him a gift from your shop for each birthday, he is only 8 now, haha. We have buckets of rocks from our travels…no idea what they are, just liked the color/shape.
What a beautiful set of agates ❤. I just can't pick one as my favorite. That feathered agate reminds me of flames; so unique. Great job ☺️
Yes, a lot of beauties.
A simple suggestion: sell the fractured ones, and the Junk ones as decoration for fish tanks
I’d definitely put them in my fish tank!!
It's so interesting to me that there were so many that show orange and yellow as the main colors. I think about Australia and its enormous desert, and what is the palette? Just like those agates! You have a bit of Uluru right there in your hands. How amazing is that? Man, I'd love to do what you are doing! 😉😄
Those are some very beautiful rocks😊👍💕
They are!
The third one you cut, you used the perfect word to describe it. "Premium"! That one alone, made this video for me. Nice one matey. 😎😁
I’m 78! One of those people that is always picking up rocks!!! Have a lot of Christal’s also!! Love your show!! Passed it on to my neighbors grand son that has a love for rocks also!! He is 6…
I am 76 and have always picked up rocks wherever I went. They always look pretty when wet. There should be a place where we can bring then and have them cut. Now that would be fun. I also have crystals and gems. Love them all.
Oh my goodness. So beautiful. Personally my favorites are the last one cut open and the one you said wasn't worth polishing. I just love the rich dark purple-blues and deep rose colors. Amazing.
No se si me entiendan pero veo muy pocos like para nuestro friend, COMEEEEEE ON, GIVE HER LIKE GOD BLESS YOU AMÉRICA, saludos desde Cuba la Isla cárcel
Those are some amazing agates. I absolutely love the ocean scene with the clouds and the black and red never seen an agate like it nor the comet ones. That hot orange that you also kept was absolutely stunning. And the one where you could see all the way inside through the quartz so awesome.
It’s a great hobby or business you have there. Always something beautiful to expose. 🤩
First one a beauty. Surprise! I had a big smile when I saw that too. lol
The white skinned Agate Creek ones are my favourites. The pink and white colours in them are always glorious. Your stones are perfect examples of the range of Agate Creek agates.
The Gobbstopper comment was everything!!! Lol Beautiful rocks.
Stunning agates! 😊
You are a talented gems cutter, yet a nice and humble great person!
You can use superglue (CA glue) and accelerator to put the broken ones back together. If you keep them tight when it hardens there will be minimal bubbles which can hide the cracks fairly well. You can even polish it. 👍🏻
Love the agates, beautiful. I have a moss agate my parents picked up in Montana many years ago. It's one of my favorite positions. The way the dark moss areas are shaped and the soft white cloud like area that covers half the surface, combined gives the impression of African planes at twilight.
BEAUTIFUL, ALL OF THEM!!! ~thank you for sharing~ please dont stop doing this ~ I love watching you cut open all your rocks~ i never knew this existed and im blown away with all their beauty~ just WOW!!!
I love rocks. We are always hiking along the river and I’m always collecting .. I was telling my husband he needs to get a table saw so he can cut the rocks I find lol
That was a little like when you’re a kid on Christmas Eve, and are allowed to open a small gift… over and over! 😄👍🏻
I have lived at the beach in White Rock British Columbia for over 50 years. Are very smooth oval translucent. We have so many wishing stones with The unbroken line around them and I love breaking those open at the line
This material is stellar. I have several pieces of different pastel colors which also set them apart from the Kentucky agates :)
Thank you for sharing an amazing video see you next time.✌️☺️
Gotta love the branding....reminds me of the beautiful Tree Band looking agates i used to find at lake Superior/ Duluth area.
That first cut was absolutely my favorite, by far. The "comet" cut is my 2nd favorite and the one with water-level bands inside the quartz comes in 3rd. All are beautiful, though. Thanks for sharing!
Very beautiful all of them
Those are some OLD agates if from Australia! I hope I get to see these before they get posted on Etsy! Im gonna miss the 9am live😬
They’re on Etsy lol
Oh I better go see!! Thank you!

#3 FANTASTIC!! Stunning is right!
I think Australian agates are pretty underrated.
I think Australian agates are rated pretty.
10:03 I immediately thought meteor when I saw this one. So cool
Just came across your channel and I'm addicted to your rocks😂 and your excitement is over the top, I just had to sub. You Rock
We love your videos. Greetings from Spain.
とても綺麗な石達ですね😊👍💖
私は日本人です。
石が好きで時々海に石拾いに行きます。
石を切る機械がないのでリューターを使って拾った石を切ります。
どんな表情をした石に出会う事が出来るか心が踊る時間です。
たまにですが、美しい模様の石に出会う時がありますがその時はとても感動します😊💖🥹
配信有難う御座います🙏💖
視聴楽しみにしています😊💖💕💕💕💕💕
I went out to the shore of LS three times this week. Only small pebbles were visible but I practiced identifying them. I found a very pretty LS Agate that I found a few years ago. The bands only became visible once I tumbled it.
Butterfly wings. Beautiful!
Thank you for your passion!
I have been watching you for awhile now and I love watching your reaction to to some of your cuts! I'm a real fan of yours!!!
You’ve got some gorgeous agates there. Congrats!
I'm no Geologist, nor am I a rock hound, but as an artist, there is still beauty in the Fractured one. It's almost got a feathered texture to it, Sure it's flaky but it's beautiful in it's own way
I love that one that broke!
WOW, the first one looked like a Botswana Agat, I have one of them. Ohhh, that one at 2.20 was beutiful, special, even that I am a Jasper-lover, I loved that one tooOhh, I love that small greenish one at 8.11 too, I think I have been more of a Agate-lover nowthose small Agates was really goodies for the eyes, loved the most of them.
When you opened the 3rd one i actually swore and number 5 was beautiful
At 10:30 on your video my son said hey mom it looks like a meteor! He’s not wrong! Lol great video

10:40 i gasped at this rock. Like how can that be so beautiful? It’s really what’s on the inside huh. 😂
Amazing SCORE!! Congratulations. Those are all so cool!!
Cut, cut, cut! I liked them all what great colors you exposed. You put a really good polish on them all. See y'a next time.😊
Could you do a show on displaying your specimens? I’m looking for ideas and think your viewers would be interested.
The one that you are keeping with the water levels underneath the quartz reminds me of the ceramic chicken pots for keeping eggs.😊Thanks for all the hardwork Taylor.
Wow! Those are so stunning! I love the colors! Thank you!
The first five are outstanding, amazing colors, patterns.
Your first one would make aweome earrings!
No, YOU rock!
Thanks for these videos. They help lower my blood pressure.
That could be turned into a butterfly necklace that is so pretty
They are absolutely beautiful! Perfectly polished.
They are all amazing!
I love your enthusiasm. Makes you fun to watch. Keep it up.
I came accross with your channel and it’s really amazed me how God made all everything beautiful, i keep Praising HIM for His creation, keep up the good work! God bless you. Watching from Dubai.
I've just subscribed! Watched just one of your videos and found it so educational and interesting! Love finding out what's inside! Thankyou for making these videos.😊
The 3rd one...sooo sweet. I am a rockhound from MN as well. I love watching your videos.
The color contrast in that 3rd one!😍
They turned out gorgeous.
The third last one is reminiscent of the endangered Wollemi Pine of Australia! Definitely one for your private collection!❤😊
"Don't judge a book by its cover!" Even rocks!! 😉😂
Enjoy watching your shows when I have my grandson over . I would love to buy some of your polished agates if you sell them. God bless you and your beautiful family

Absolutely beautiful agates.. amazing what is on the inside. Thanks for sharing your rocks 🪨 with us all ❤️
Those are stunning...even the ones that broke and that you said were junk. The colours are amazing.
Wow, the ones that didn’t have fractions….awesome. It has to be hard to decide which ones you are keeping for yourself! Great job!
Those red shades are just incredible!
