      Ohhhh they are really really beautiful!!
      My favorite is also one of your favorites. It’s the lighter brown one. Absolutely took my breath away! Thank you for sharing ✌️💜😃

    It's nice to see something beautiful come from Malawi. I did a medical mission trip there years ago when the country was ravaged by Aids. Unbelievable poverty and yet the people were happy. Would have loved to have seen some of those under MT Rock Mom's microscope!😊

    I've discovered your channel recently, and this chillful speed-style, the beautiful minerals, the light trumpet music (which I really prefer) and the not senseless ASMR of the cuts are absolutly makes this video really good. It worth a subscribe :).

    The stones inside almost look like a map of terrain, and like Malawi terrain - I grew up next door in Mozambique. If you slice one of those beauties and frame it with gold foil it would make a beautiful pendant. Would be nice to have one. Really pretty stones.

    Watching you cut open rocks is like watching other youtubers open mystery boxes. Only what you end up with is so much cooler!

    I can't really pick a favorite. They are all so beautiful. If I had to pick just one it would be the one that looked like it had pink, blue, and yellow banding. Wow, gorgeous rocks!

    Those were so beautiful! My goodness! Its hard to pick a favorite from that bunch because they were all so beautiful. I think my favorite is probably be the smaller of the one you chose. The bands were so different in color and so many! But they were all fabulous! Just gorgeous! Thanks for letting us enjoy your agates with you. And thank you Josh for sending them. They are fabulous!

    It makes me very nervous watching you cut those agates! One little slip and you could really hurt yourself!
    I've been collecting agates for about 50 years and had a large collection! Unfortunately, I sold them because I moved and just didn't have the room to store them anymore. But I still "hunt" for agates when I come across a good rocky place and keep the ones I find!
