Gosh I’m just addicted to these videos! It’s always so fascinating to see what’s inside these beautiful rocks. The geodes with the sparkly crystals inside are cool too, if you ever find those! Keep making these awesome videos!
I agree. It’s fun to take the first look at the cutting. Thanks.
Morning mijo....love #1,#2 I like the others....I get excited wen you post videos....😉💜
Thanks to my obsession with agate themed videos, i’ve gotten quite the collection! southern ohio has some absolutely amazing fossils
I loved the last one ...always been a sucker for red rocks 👍💞
You are such a great guy to help out others and cut their rocks for them. That's so nice. Even though the rocks weren't super exciting they were cool nevertheless. Thanks for sharing.
Love that mossy red one, it looked like eyes in that pocket.
Beautiful sharing 👍
So much suspense! My favorite was the 2nd little banded lsa at 2min mark. I'm such a sucker for pretty little bands!
Your videos never disappoint. Thank-you!
last one beautiful color😍
Oh if the orbicular pattern would have carried through on the 2nd LSA😍 . The last one polished would just pop! Have a good week.
Same to you Kelly!
Every cut is an adventure!😁
Absolutely!
Some nice pieces Taylor. 👍
Beautiful stones! ♥️😁
Number one gets my vote.
Awesome rocks! The second to the last one I called the Milky Way rock! I need to get a saw dang it! I have so many rocks to cut!
Saws are so fun!
Gotta cut it to find it!!! Sounds like a nice idea for a sticker or shirt...or mug,or hoodey
😅🙌
Thank you for your channel!! I love looking inside the rocks.
Lots of cool rocks. I liked the last one best. Lots of color and shapes. Thanks for sharing! Your saw keeps going strong. Keep the goodness coming. 😷⚒
It’s a heck of a saw!
Nice! My saw comes in today and I can't wait!!!
So excited for you!
@@AgateDad Thank you. It was awesome, just hooked up the vise and almost have all ot the protective gear for my son and I, just waiting on his respirator mask, hoping it fits. I was going to ask you which saw blade do you use for agates and geodes? I went to go get the green one on Hi Tech and use your affiliation code but then didn't have it anymore and wasn't sure if I can just use the red one they provide with it?
@@AgateDad Hey man, just used your code for a discount on Hi Tech Accesory saw blade, I signed up for the affiliation myself and got approved but was wondering how you got a code to use after you partnership. Is there another level after affiliate that Hi Tech assigns a discount code to you or does someone need to use your affiliate link first before one is provided. Sorry if you don't know the answer to any of these. Lol just knew I needed a blade to handle the thicker denser material and wanted to thank you for your link that got me 5 bucks off. Haha
Love rocks ,waiem colecção.😀❤️👍
Those were all, really unique and you can never tell until you cut them open. Sometimes, they will surprise you. My favorite one was the very last one. It had eyes and that beautiful swirly pattern on the inside. So beautiful. But u think all rocks are beautiful in their own right. Thanks for the help and for the fun:
Some of those would look beautiful as counter top art. I’ve been wanting to take beautiful cut rocks and do my little counter top with them. Some day. 😁
I loved this. The last stone is a beaut
I need to look through my rock box and see if I have anything to send you to cut. Love it.
Awesome looking stuff 👌 I like the 2ed to the last...amazing colors 😃
Right?!
Could be gold in those rocks ❤️
I don’t think good I’m agates is possible unfortunately
Wow ! All the agates are of Exceedingly beautiful 😍 Congratulations and warm greetings from Poland 👋
Always a blast seeing what’s inside! Well done
cut the stone, it turns out that inside it is very beautiful and good friend.
Man ive got saw envy hahahahahahaha those cuts down the guts of the rocks are impressive!!!! Oh yeah the technical term for the cable issue at the start of the video is called "an air gap" hahahahahahaha very cool video thanks for sharing
🤘🤩🤘
Love these style of videos!! more cuttinggg pleaseeee!
More to come 🤘🤘
I bet that last rock will look really cool after a good polishing.
They are beautiful.
It's amazing what's inside them.
Yesterday we cut open some Australian Agate creek Agates.
Omg they are beautiful.
I'm not sure whether to tumble or face polish.
Do you tumble your halves, or only face polish them.
There's a video on my channel if you want to see them.
That last one was wild ... almost looked like little purple pockets in there maybe amethyst?!? Awesome vid, what saw is that !? Definitely needs to be a future purchase!
Hi-Tech Diamond 10" slab saw - got one myself recently.
My favorite was the speckled one. I don't need to see bands if it is just pretty.
How does a person send you rocks to cut. I wouldn’t want them back, I just want to see what is in them. I don’t even want a video made, just pictures. Love your videos!
Send me some pictures of what you want cut either through Instagram or Facebook :)
Todas muito lindas.
We go up to lake Superior and along the shore all the time. Loved the CRYSTAL CAVE VID! I've always been confused as to which rocks are what on the inside? We have buckets of rocks (Gkids & I) from lake Superior but no way to cut them :( . How do you know which direction you should cut them? We were just getting started into rock polishing using an old red TumblersTumbler (aprx 35yrs old) from when my kids were kids. Yup it fried on us at 1 1/2 wks, lol. Looking for a new reliable model on a social security income. LOL.
The one with the fossil imprint is probably Fossiliferous Chert. It is basically a pseudomorph. The fossils were embedded in limestone or sandstone and then the whole thing was replaced with chert. I have a small specimen with crinoid fragments in it. Unfortunately, you see what the chert usually looks like. Other than the imprints, there isn't much to them.
Hey agate dad I found fossilized wood in philippines
You never know with rocks🙃
That last one was really interesting. The red matrix ... I'd want to sit and stare at that one a while.
How many cuts do you find you're getting out of each blade? I'm still on my first, but I ran out of rocks to cut.
If I’m cutting smaller stuff I can make it last what seems like forever, occasionally I cut bigger material and that takes a lot out of it. I can’t put a time frame on it though.
I figure around 7-8 hours per inch thickness. I use Amazon blades, and I'm not gentle on my saw.
So are there LSA that show no visible banding on the outside of the rock? If that is true, can you show some examples sometime? TIA
That first agate was a catfish😢 still beautiful tho❤
😅
Are you able to cut stones after you tumbled them
❤️⭐💎👍💎👍
