The second one you cut. But I’m not through watching you! You got me started rock hounding. But where I live in Alabama, I have not found any agates yet. I have found some cool rocks though. I have to drive about 70 miles north to even find a good rock bed! The pretty rocks I did find were 3 hours away. But I don’t have a saw yet. I’m praying to get one though. Any way thank you for all the cool videos!
As an online seller, I have to admit that mixing up mailing labels does happen...often. You just have to hope that the recipients on both ends are understanding, and to make things right for everyone involved. What a pleasant surprise for you. 👍😉
Being a Florida resident, of course I love this "stone".. This is considered our state stone. I have some from Tampa Bay. I inherited several from my Dad. As I have said beforek your videos touch my heart ... remembering my fathers love of stones.
I love it when you cut coral I think it's just amazing to see what has happened inside a living plant over the years as it died. But the cuts of the big ones were phenomenal I was just speechless!
7:23 i honestly still like that one. You get a peak into the inner parts of coral. It's still a good fossil in general and I would personally be more than happy to have it in my collection
#3 (the blue and black one) was my favorite.right up until you cut the really long one....the next to last one that you turned the hose on. THAT one is absolutely spectacular!!!
i’ve only been interested in rock hounding and lapidary for about 48 hours now but i’ve probably watched about 15 of these videos now. the ones with black in the middle are always my favorite. (huge honorable mention for the thunder eggs with stars inside)
#1 is so amazing, the shape and the way the banding moves around the edges. The big one is a no brainer, the blue is gorgeous. I live way too close to the areas where these are found to not check it out. I can go from Tampa all the way to the Swanee just visiting family. 😂 Also AD if you come here yourself to look, you will see much bigger bugs, EVERYWHERE! Just a heads up. Great video as always, and what an amazing treat from your friend!
I like the black and also the yellowish inside the big coral. very nice looking also the white, black and bluish inside the small one. The next last big one was beautiful!!
I like all the black and blue bots, but the long, hollow one at 11:29 is my favourite. Thank you Agate Dad and I will check your friends Etsy shop out later 😀👍
I definitely like the third piece, 1:43, for the contrast; the white bumps against the black edges are dramatic. The second to last one, 11:30, is gorgeous just for the variety of detail. I can see it as a demonstration piece of the different kinds of features might be found in a geode. Lucky you!
I am binge watching your videos. I am seeing them all out of order. On one video, I think you mentioned that you had lots of children. How many sons? Daughters? Ages? Are they rock hounds too? The one at 11:29 is a stunner!
My favorite was the very first one. From the outside you could definitely see it is a coral fossil and the inside fossilized and agatized. It is awesome! I wonder if the fossils that didn't show any agate show anything under UV light? That would be interesting. Thanks for sharing. Will pop over to Rick's page to thank him.
Crazy awesome. I love how channels do the big money reveals and usually the more you pay the better the material, so I do a play on that with my big $10 thunderegg video 😂. Keep it up man... you do get to cut some amazing rocks and thanks for sharing. I cut my own stuff but never tire of watching others reveal their stuff.
Agatized coral is the state fossil of Florida. Perhaps there are some gem and mineral societies that could tell you good sites. Google, and check with the Florida Department of State.

Which one was your favorite?!

The first multi colored one the big one. I love agatetilized choral. I’m going to buy one!❤
Okay your favorite was my favorite! I reminds me of a blue marlin! So cool!
They often remind me of stylistic butterflies! 🦋
Timestamp 11:31 omgosh 😲 that's the most exciting bubble 🫧 explosion of color I've ever seen 😍 omgosh that's dope!!
Even after they have died they are still beautiful. Mother nature just keeps on giving.
100% man made stuff is such garbage. Mother Nature is truly the greatest, nothing goes to waste

You may be interested to know that coral is made up of tiny animals called polyps. It gets fossilized and agatized over millions of years.

Omg the colours are amazing. Absolutely stunning. And some crap for the flower bed…

Oh Boy, Do I love this Coral!!! So beautiful! What fun and how nice of the guy you got them from that let you keep them!
#2 was an exclamation point. Love the dot at the bottom.
They are all so beautiful but the one you hosed off was exceptional. So many beautiful colours well done.
That first one is my favorite when under the UV light. Beautiful.
There was some pretty sweet surprises on this one but I loved the same one you did. Beautiful.
I love that you don’t edit out the rubbish ones and we get to see everything - you’ve made me really want to take up the hobby!
Thank You Rick for the amazing oops. They were beautiful. 🤗🤗💞💞

Wow. This stuff checks all my boxes and now I want to do this for a living!
Thank you, Rick, for the oops! Love the agatized coral! The second to last was amazing! Loved seeing all of them under UV! So much fun!!
My favorite is your favorite! Wow, that thing is gorgeous!!❤❤❤❤❤
These are stunning, personally I love the ones that are mostly black/blue! They look like the ocean solidified in a coral or rock
Thanks Rick! And thank you Agate dad for sharing! Absolutely stunning coral! 😊
Glad you like it!
I didn't realize that coral could agatize... how amazing!
The third to last was absolutely stunning!
The second one looks like a moon over a black sky. Beautiful
Stunning! Thank you for sharing! 😊
The next to the last one is my favorite! What a work of art!
That second to last one was extraordinary and beautiful.Also liked the first one.

14:40 It looks like butterfly wings. 😍
Love the blue black white corals.
Yeeeees, I made it! Greetings from Texas ☀️🔥🔥🔥
First one looked like a brain the third looked like a full moon over the ocean. Absolutely beautiful.
I've never seen agatized coral before! Those were amazing! Really cool video! 👍
Thanks for watching!
Hi,
My Mum has just gifted me one of your ammonite pendants for my birthday.
So perfect, thank you!
Beautiful agates and an added bonus is hearing your laughs and chuckles, again.
Always fun cutting great stuff
Very hit or miss but wow the good ones were spectacular and these might be my favorite type of agate you’ve cut. ❤
I like the blue botryoidal "goodness." Definitely "resembles grapes."
Crazy awesome.
I love how channels do the big money reveals and usually the more you pay the better the material, so I do a play on that with my big $10 thunderegg video 😂.
Keep it up man... you do get to cut some amazing rocks and thanks for sharing. I cut my own stuff but never tire of watching others reveal their stuff.
The one at 11:30 really reminds me of the upper peninsula of Michigan by shape
I love them all! I think the black is just so beautiful!
Very Cool! Of course I love the next to last!
Wow, an amazing cut session. I was ooing over these!
They are beautiful!
Thanks Rick!
I have several pieces on my desk with a UV flashlight to check them out. Really cool!
I wonder what mineral causes the botraiyadeel to be blue.... so beautiful
That first one and the big one are gorgeous
Hi...I'm new
But I can feel your Joy right through the ocean to Germany 💙
Thanks Rick!!😊❤
11:59 😮🤯
Did you set that bug free?😢
I see it was really difficult to make the most out of that mistake 😂 thanks for all your hard work, Buddy🎉
Thanks for the great videos, I love to collect rocks. I haven’t tried cutting them with a saw yet.
You should!
You should!
@@AgateDad I dont have a nice saw like you do,lo
Love the black/blue one
Wow! How amazing was that? I liked the biggest one the best.
I wonder how many states you've cut agates from? It sure would be interesting to see you cutting agates open from across the U.S.A.!!!
Loved the larger ones kind of looks like outer space
Wowizers that was awsome🎉🎉🎉 thanks Rick
The one you cut open at 11:37 is beautiful!
Right?
Beautiful!❤ I wouldn't blame you a bit if every one of them went in your collection ❤❤❤
I still love the first one best.❤
What was up with the rubber thing between your fingers lol did you ment to do that funny thing you do and the one at 11:31 was my favorite
That was my hearing protection lol
I was so nervous about your thumbs ,you get so close to your saw but great video ❤
The yellow, blue is the best!!!
They're like a little world inside!
You should glue that piece. 4:50 😉
Nice!!! All of them. 👍👍👍
Who need diamonds when you have rocks!…lol so beautiful,amazing
Fun one and great accidental gift to you.
Can't wait
Those are awesome!
But but but..... are you still getting the rocks you originally ordered?
Of course
The ones that aren't your favorites, you should look at them under UV light as well.
We just ordered some of these but smaller ones, wondering if you could share some of your favorite places to source from ?
Is that rust color from iron oxidizing bacteria ?
Rick is a great guy!
The best of guys
Happy Little Accident !! Thanks, Rick!! 😂
2nd cut looks like a galaxy.
They're all beautiful
Last one is cool too
I loved them all, even the black ones.
Wouldn’t black be included in “all”? 😂
@@AgateDad indeed it would!!
@@AgateDad indeed they would.😏👍😁
WOW! WOW! WOW!
Can you share where you buy the coral agates?
How can you tell before cutting if the coral is agatized?
What part of Florida. I live about 2 hours away from Destin and Panama City, do you think you could find them there?
Agatized coral is the state fossil of Florida. Perhaps there are some gem and mineral societies that could tell you good sites. Google, and check with the Florida Department of State.
Love you're videos
That is so unique like HOW can you choose a favourite really…
How do you know the difference between a coral fossil and an agatized coral fossil, if they don’t have holes? Or do you?
❤❤❤ I like almost all of them!
Maybe 100 million years in the future something will be admiring agatized human bones
Some of the ones you didn't like would be pretty filled with resin.
The first one looks like it is a normal rock on the Klingons planet after it was sliced
Those are so cool!!
12:35 looks like it had an Italian “boot”
This was so cool
Geeze I worry about your fingers. I guess once a mom always a mom
Different type of blade, he’s safe
