Im sorry to hear that your partnership didn't work out. Sounds like you came away with a workable backup plan at least. Can't wait to see more beautiful Dryheads! Just seeing agates is quite a stress relief for me.
A most interesting video story Joshua. Very well done! Thank you for sharing your adventure into the possibility of restarting the Dryhead Agate mine. Mining always requires all the stars to align before success, and most times, they don't. It takes a brave person to walk away from a bad financial investment, but you did so for the right reasons. If a partnership (of any kind) seems forced, best ask yourself if it's worth continuing with.
Sorry to hear the mining operation didn't work out as you had hoped. "Partnerships" certainly can be difficult to keep things equal. Those agates you cut are spectacular as any I have seen. Joshua, may I suggest you put your new US based website as a link in the description of this video? I did go to the site, and it is not open as of the time I write this comment. Perhaps you could also link Alex's channel in the description. Thanks for posting your story!
Wow, I am sorry to hear the Dryhead project did not work out. It is great to hear that you are able to bring a few tons of this material to market though. The pieces you cut in this video are lovely. I hope you did not throw away the scraps, it looked like there was good cab potential in the thin bits.
what makes an agate worth a lot of money? I finished cutting about 5 pounds of malawi agate nodules, just don't have a machine to polish them. Also where do you get your agate nodules from?
I mine them and work in bulk deals with miners and other dealers. Check out my other videos. A few months ago I released a video specifically dedicated to the value of Malawi agates. 😊🥳
We should start calling you "the Agate Whisper" you seem to have such a knack for locating the most beautiful materials 😊
I'm glad you were able to secure some of these for yourself. They are amazing.

Thank you for the wonderful manner that you explain and show how you make the decisions in how you make your cuts .

Wow, those 2 with the amethyst are amazing! Both of them came out beautifully.
Thank you!!
Some beautiful pieces!

Stunning
Could you post your other website you mentioned. My hearing is not good and what I enter doesn't go to your website. TY
Das sind ja wieder wunderschöne Achate, die Farben sind wunderschön. Schade wenn sie dann Risse haben.
So is the wrong layer being dug now?
No. It was just the start of the dig trying to figure out on where to intensify mining efforts.

make cabs from the last agate you cut, the agate part of it.
Crap, the best one sold already😢
What a pity with your project. This man got the gold faevor. In the old times they would kill a partner for a gold vain! You got away in time.
