Every time I watch one of your videos, my face gets close to the screen to see the gems up close. So many could be turned into amazing pieces of jewelry. 🥰
My 8 year old son and I watch your shows all the time. He calls your agate geodes, Ageodes. 😅 We love your show. It's very informative. We are from California and love looking for treasure rocks. Thank you! My son wants me to give you a bunch of hearts ❤❤❤❤❤
I love your videos so much. What an extraordinary way to live life, to find the hidden artwork of nature. So many surprises. Today I ordered an agate, I fell in love when I saw multiple colors. I will treasure it. It makes me feel like a tiny mouse in a grand universe. ❤❤
This was a beautiful collection. My favorite 3 have to be the ones you showed last, before you polished them, but they are all lovely. Thanks Agate Dad! ☺️
Nice to see new videos...I watch you so much I keep running out of new videos to watch of yours....thanks for your refreshing videos...God Bless You and yours....
I get more pleasure and satisfaction from watching your reactions to the newly cut stones than the videos themselves. I really LOVE to watch them esp on days when I’m feeling a bit down as it’s like watching an excited child opening their Xmas presents (no disrespect intended). Thank you so much for sharing this little bit of joy with the rest of the world…. It has a much bigger impact than you realise as your thrill, delight and passion with these agates is so infectious (and so is your laugh btw), and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way! 🤗
How is it that some of the agates are not symmetrical in color when cutting through them. Specifically the one at 3:18 is orange on one side and yellow on the other. Are the two colors separated by transparent layer that we don’t see and actually not part of the same chunk?
Hmm, it's like cutting a hard-boiled egg in half. Even if you cut RIGHT down the middle, the yolk might be more on one side than the other, and that can make it look different.
@@sarahschaeffer1247 this makes a lot of sense. I wasn’t accounting for the amount that transparency would affect the two sides. I also wonder if the cutting process grinds away enough that also affects the symmetry. If the cutting blades also impact it.
This was a joy to watch. Congrats on your beauties. Even the fractures given these character, they are ancient after all. I got a Malawi agate from your store a while back and keep it on my desk at work. I sometimes just stare into its depth and turn it in the sunlight. It's very soothing to have such immense beauty in a small package.
It must be a nice feeling to think that these stones were close for millions of years and now you open them to show their beauty. How they smell. This autor was close and now it is spread in the air. It is like another creation. It is wonderful.
😮 Fantastic cutting session!❤ Malawi agates do not disappoint!😊🥰 Thanks for sharing and thanks for all your hard work, even though it looks like tons of fun!😁
I love watching you cut open the agates. I watch 4 or 5 of your videos every day. It just is a joyful experience to see all the beautiful treasures that are revealed.❤😊❤
Amazingly lovely batch you got this time; it's hard to pick out a favorite. The first long one, and the smaller orange one polished up beautifully. The pale one with the orange dot in the middle was unusual. The smaller, defined orange dot surrounded by quartz looks like a tiny flower. Do you ever decided you just missed a pocket, then go back to cut a little more until the pocket is exposed?
How gorgeous! Although I was worried you were just going to zoom through the cutting (understandably, there were a lot), I just love hearing your reactions to the beauty you discover! Your pleased chortling makes my day. Thanks for a great batch! 💖
My face when I see you uploaded another video 🤗 My face while you are hatching agates 😮 My face when the video ends and you say bye 😢 Looking forward to the next batch of gorgeous rocks! 😅
Loving the content! They are all so stunning when you get them open, I'm partial to the ones with orange bands. Thanks for sharing your excitement with us! Sending love. ❤
so beautiful the first one wasand the one at 6....and at 8.36 quit nice and the one at 10.20, had been stunning if not two half ones, even the one at 13.45 was mostly with white/greyish colors, the pattern was beautiful, liked it a lot, and the inside with those colors at 15.08, gorgeous. some of the not so fab had some charm. and polished, the was shining like stars.
Some have, some not. But a window is just a hint. It may promise high qualitly, good banding, color and just be a dud. Or trick you saying there is nothing inside and you will get a perfect specimen. Or it fools you saying i will be green, white and blue but gets transparent brown.
Wow, thank you guys so much. I am so new.. Ive found sharks teeth and fossils, but I’ve always just tossed all the rocks aside and I’m so mad that I’ve been in Montana quite a few times and always just look for heart shaped rocks 🤎🫣 not knowing anything about the real beauty that can be inside a rock now I’m want to find out. Being from Southwest Florida I don’t have the absolutely gorgeous river rock but we do have fossilized coral so I’m gonna start looking for that. Thanks again for answering me back. I appreciate it.
Gosh I do love Malawi Agates, definitely bought the 5lb bag of Malawi Babies from Gem Shop after I first saw you cut them! Speaking of Gem Shop - get yourself a pound or two of their Montana Moss B Grades, I have been having a BLAST with them! They’re not the most colorful but gosh, the bands and the moss that creeps into some of them - they’re gorgeous! (I have two YT shorts posted showing them if you’re curious!)
Im not sure if you've been asked this question already but what do you do with the fractured ones, ones you dont polish, and/or the ones you don't consider keepers? I ask because i love all of them...even the fractured ones, etc. 😊 i really enjoy your videos and your positivity!
Interesting you're not using the original water spray nozzles on your cabking, I'm not impressed with the water flow on my Diamond Pacific machine. how did you go about changing?
That was great! So many beautiful stones, so interesting. Seeing them polished was a treat. I had an idea-- I realized I had no idea the location of Malawi (assuming a country in Africa). Maybe when you have these imported rocks, you could show on a globe or map where they came from. I don't think I'm the only viewer who's a bit sketchy with geography. Now I'm gonna do the Google and find out!. Take care!
Thank you for putting in the “short site”with a click to this adventure…many times I rely on this….ps. Not one nodule ever ugly!! From a rock licker!!…..
How beautiful were those ugly nodules?!
Very beautiful agates
They are all so GORgeous!!😊 Thank you for sharing your beautiful rock's and your joyful laughter 😊
Gorgina!!❤
The second one looked like a coyote! I know where I'm going now! ETSY!
So beautiful ❤️
Every time I watch one of your videos, my face gets close to the screen to see the gems up close. So many could be turned into amazing pieces of jewelry. 🥰
Thanks!
Thanks so much!!
I prefer the mystery box style of opening these with you and hearing your excitement

I'm sorry, THAT IS SO CUTTEEEE, u sound like a good parent AWWWW
The hoard is increasing! Some definite keepers 🤩

Thank you for sharing with us. So many beauties ❤️
That blue quartz is gorgeous
Wow, these are all so beautiful! Nature rocks! Thanks so much for sharing, Taylor!
Glad you like them!

Its the clarity, how the light passes through is different on one side because the colored section is thinner
@@sarahschaeffer1247 this makes a lot of sense. I wasn’t accounting for the amount that transparency would affect the two sides. I also wonder if the cutting process grinds away enough that also affects the symmetry. If the cutting blades also impact it.
WOW! I Love those! SO lucky! Especially love the ones that look like their own living landscapes!
Thanks!
WOW, thank you so much!!
I want to know that where did you get your rocks?
He bought them online just google them , “Malawi geodes” and the rough rock per pound will show up.
Malawi

Cut, cut, cut! Great cuts with only a couple of missed. Super polish on all of them. Thanks for sharing.

So beautiful. Thanks for including us on the adventure.
I absolutely love the whites and browns/oranges. Absolutely beautiful

WOW! The first one! These are going to rock!

Those are beautiful! What a surprise! Remember I love the reveal.❤

They polished out so beautifully is it hard to learn to polish correctly?
Every cut is beautiful to me ❤
Loving the content! They are all so stunning when you get them open, I'm partial to the ones with orange bands. Thanks for sharing your excitement with us! Sending love. ❤
the first one was a beautiful surprise!!!
Really beautiful
Like your clips, i love beautiful agates. Thank you! Also the music is very special, who is this?
Lots of different artists, can’t remember their names
The very last one was my favorite. Looks like flowers in the middle.
Such beauties! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you.I had fun.They were all very all of them very interesting and beautiful
Wow!!! So beautiful ❤
I learn so much, watching where you cut the rocks. And the reveal is always so exciting!

Love just watching! 😍
All I see are really pretty earrings
Wow! So beautiful! 😊
Do all rocks that you find have to have a window to possibly show what may be inside?
Not all of them
Some have, some not. But a window is just a hint. It may promise high qualitly, good banding, color and just be a dud. Or trick you saying there is nothing inside and you will get a perfect specimen. Or it fools you saying i will be green, white and blue but gets transparent brown.

Can't wait anymore
The rainbow heart one !!!!! 😍😍😍
Yes that was an excellent batch! I love the bands! And the crystal, and the courts, and the husks, well I just love it all!
It definitely makes me happy
Excellent work as always.
A beautiful batch!
One of your best cutting videos! Thanks!
So gorgeous
This is so amazing I’m obsessed
These agates are amazing! So beautiful. The first one, orange and white, is my favourite. ❤
Wow, absolutely beautiful! Love watching these.
9:52 😮that’s GORGEOUS!!
Ви, як завжди знаходите дуже гарні агати. Мені вони подобаються.
Yep I’d keep the last also. YEA I’D SCREAM FOR AGOTS TOO…well you might as well know I drooled on my iPad!!
Awesome!
The one at 9:51 is my favorite so far.
11:39 my bubbles
Absolute stunners. I'm going to have to get some of those.
🙌
They all look amazing
Agates - more than just bands! Love them thank you for sharing.
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
did you see the fox face in the one cut?
Beautiful agates
They are magnificent love your videos
Love gemology! Wowzers, what a haul! STUNNING!❤
Fabulous job, as always , Taylor! I really enjoyed this video! Thank you!
Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: Those are a beautiful lot of colorful nuggies! I dig those mirror finishes!
Gosh I do love Malawi Agates, definitely bought the 5lb bag of Malawi Babies from Gem Shop after I first saw you cut them!

Thanks for the tips!
They're not ugly once so ever ! Maybe I'm that weirdo rock hound that sees nodules as beautiful inside and out ! Great video taylor
Thank you. Loved all of them. Great results.
liked the one at 8:51 is nice.
What is the machine called used to split them?
I actually applauded the last one!
I take it back, the one 14:12 is my favorite!
These were beautiful I love the tinies that chocolate agate was fabulous I would love to have one. They were all so unique and interesting.
Loved the show! Thanks from Brazil. Awesome!!
6:13 a slice of that one would make a GORGEOUS pendant for a necklace
All of them are beautful
Im not sure if you've been asked this question already but what do you do with the fractured ones, ones you dont polish, and/or the ones you don't consider keepers? I ask because i love all of them...even the fractured ones, etc. 😊 i really enjoy your videos and your positivity!
I think I'm going to make a small Christmas and only decorate with agates. Agate Dad you should do this. If you did already I'd love to see pics.😊
very pretty
Not a dud in the batch!😍
Interesting you're not using the original water spray nozzles on your cabking, I'm not impressed with the water flow on my Diamond Pacific machine. how did you go about changing?
That last one was so sweet!

Now I'm gonna do the Google and find out!. Take care!
I LOVE all the ones you put through the first polish batch ❤ ok, and #2 from the 3rd group
I couldn't do that. If I had two halves, I'd HAVE to keep them together, even if one were better than the other. It'd be like separating kids 🙂
Love this 😂
Thank you for putting in the “short site”with a click to this adventure…many times I rely on this….ps. Not one nodule ever ugly!! From a rock licker!!…..
I had to pause at 13:00 and tell you how hard I laughed when you cued the "falling in love" movie romance music for that 2nd to last agate.
The one at 5:99 was nice.
Pretty Rocks!!! 🥰🥰
