- Let's cut open some amazing agates from Africa! These beautiful agate gems are from the southern part of the Sahara and were sent to me as a gift to cut open and see what wonders will be hiding inside! These agates were cut on my 10" lapidary saw with the thin sintered blade, see the Hi Tech Diamond link below for more info. I am planning on polishing these beauties in another lapidary video in the future so make sure to subscribe to stay tuned for that!

Thank you all for watching this lapidary cutting video where we use our 10" lapidary slab saw to slice open these beautiful agate gems from Africa. I had a ton of fun seeing inside these amazing minerals. I really loved all the agate bands as well as the geode pocket full of crystals! It would be very fun to go rockhounding in the sahara desert where these were found, maybe someday. I will polishing these on our 8" cabking cabbing machine in the future, see you then!

Dude as a fellow military member (Marine) it is so awesome to see the joy you have coming out when your doing your videos. I find the same joy woodworking. It’s neat to see and I enjoy watching all your old and new videos. Watching your videos definitely helps my PTSD from the wars. You are an inspiration to anyone who wants happiness in their life.
Those were just spectacular. I could hear just how excited you were in tour voice and hear you beaming, as you put it. Just amazing agates. Thanks for sharing.

OMG I was soooo close guessing Syria!!!! These have to be some of my world favorite agates. Sahara agates and throughout that region is is GORGEOUS. THE YELLOW 💛💛 I have an agatized Sahara snail uncut with the ambition I might cut it one day. Thanks for wonderful close ups just amazing
We can hear in your voice that you were ‘beaming ear-to-ear’!😁 I was really excited to see what was in there, too! Found myself saying out loud ‘wow’, ‘OOH!’, and ‘WHOA!!!’ Those macros were amazing! Was really interested in your cutting that first ‘bumpy’ one- made me think that it was formed out of super hot lava-esque material millions of years ago. So cool!!!
Your enthusiasm is contagious ❣️😃
Awesome agates! The first half of the one that you said looked like a buffalo also looks exactly like the shape of the continent of Africa. 🤯 around the 5:00 min mark
Oh man those are beautiful!!!
Totally man!
So different yet still amazing. Great video, I also love the poster behind you. Thx for the share and stay safe and rock on 👍✌

Have to love how much variety is in these agates. You should keep an eye out for Berber Agates, I think those will be right up your alley!

Beautiful! Stunning! Love your channel! Thank you! From the Olympic Peninsula. ✌️💜💜💜
Those were so amazing!
Those turned out so cool. I've got a bag of Agates from Africa that a coworker of my wife gave to me before she moved. There are some cool agates that come from over there!
Thats awesome, cut em open!
@@AgateDad I should!
Beauty...enjoyed
The bands at 8:19 😍 wow!!
Good videos I enjoy watching when your cutting agate and other rocks it’s addicting
Yes it is!
I love the bubble one on the outside and in
Wow so pretty. Thank you for sharing.
I could totally hear the joy in your voice! Wow! Those are so beautiful. The macros were mind blowing! All those swirls and bands! The crystals in that little geode pocket! And that small area of dendrites! Just amazing! Thank you Taylor for sharing and putting a big smile on my face!
amazing
I love those yellows.I’ve never seen agates like those.great video. You will have to tell me where you got those agates.😎
I’ve been meaning to email you, about your cars extended warranty 😅 hope you’ve been good my friend!
@@AgateDad I’ve been well thank you. I’ve done a lot of cutting during the winter.
😮 Very, very cool! So much going on in each of those agates and your macro pics at the end really add a great dimension to each that would otherwise be hard to see! Very special episode!😊❤🥰 Looking forward to the next batch🙃
The one you didn't cut is really unique. The African Agates are very heavy with Limonite. In the right spot I bet they are actually kinda hard to spot. Big nodules too.
Been recently watching your videos and now I’ve finally subscribed! I love your work!!
Thanks and welcome!!
Beautiful!,,,
This is wonderful. I’ve wanted to look at the inside of rocks all my life!! I’m subscribed. THANK YOU!!
Thanks and welcome ❤️
Hi Taylor:) Been watching your channel for a while now, always informative and enthusiastic, I'm hooked :) especially love the close ups at the end, each rock is a piece of art and your photography is fabulous...you should print them, maybe start a line of cards or a calendar?
Maybe someday :) Thanks!
Love all your videos!!!
Thanks so much 😁
Lovely material
Very, very nice! Now that I’ve acquired my basic saw, I’ve been looking for rocks I can purchase and open them just to enjoy the reveal and the beauty inside them. I’ll never get to Africa to gather something like your agates show here, so why not just have some delivered? Finding my own are hard enough here in southeast Michigan! Great work and I’m continually amazed at these openings. I’m struck by how similar some agates are to pictures I’ve seen of distant galaxies or electron microscope frames of clumps of molecules. It’s all so familiar. Thanks, stay safe and enjoy!
Do you know where to purchase them from?
@@laywilliams3843 Cheap saws? Harbor Freight. African agates? Africa I presume but not sure who in Africa. I’ll repost if I find out, I’d love to open a few of these!
You are fulfilling my dreams!! I just love ❤ watching your videos because I am a long time rock hound that was not able to invest in the type of equipment you have. Every time we go to Duluth (from Stillwater) we check out beaches.
It broke my heart when The Agate Shop in Two Harbors closed because I could spend forever in there looking at their collection. I'm glad they reopened but now it's so limited.
I was wondering if you have ever checked out Iona's Beach in Two Harbors. We went there the last time we were up North and it is absolutely beautiful.
Love, love, LOVE your videos!!
