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 ❤❤❤❤❤
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.
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. ❤❤
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.
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! ☺️
😮 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!😁
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! 😅
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! 💖
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.
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.❤😊❤
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. ❤
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?
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.
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!
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. 🥰
I prefer the mystery box style of opening these with you and hearing your excitement
Thanks!
Thanks so much!!

I'm sorry, THAT IS SO CUTTEEEE, u sound like a good parent AWWWW

God's creation is so beautiful. Love we you should these beauties.
The hoard is increasing! Some definite keepers 🤩

Its the clarity, how the light passes through is different on one side because the colored section is thinner

I absolutely love the whites and browns/oranges. Absolutely beautiful
Wow!!! So beautiful ❤
Every cut is beautiful to me ❤
WOW! The first one! These are going to rock!
Wow! So beautiful! 😊
Those are beautiful! What a surprise! Remember I love the reveal.❤
All I see are really pretty earrings
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! 💖
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.

Thank you.I had fun.They were all very all of them very interesting and beautiful
They polished out so beautifully is it hard to learn to polish correctly?
The very last one was my favorite. Looks like flowers in the middle.
So so pretty! Alright you talked me into it I’ll buy more Malawi agates 😍
😂
Such beauties! Thanks for sharing 😊
the first one was a beautiful surprise!!!
All of them are beautful
Not a dud in the batch!😍
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. ❤
What fun! Thanks for sharing with all of us!

The rainbow heart one !!!!! 😍😍😍
9:52 😮that’s GORGEOUS!!
This is so amazing I’m obsessed
It definitely makes me happy
Ви, як завжди знаходите дуже гарні агати. Мені вони подобаються.
Excellent work as always.
One of your best cutting videos! Thanks!
These agates are amazing! So beautiful. The first one, orange and white, is my favourite. ❤

I learn so much, watching where you cut the rocks. And the reveal is always so exciting!
So gorgeous
They all look amazing
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
Can't wait anymore
Thank you. Loved all of them. Great results.
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
They are magnificent love your videos
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!
Awesome!
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 😂
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Wow, absolutely beautiful! Love watching these.
Beautiful agates
What is the machine called used to split them?
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!!
The one at 5:99 was nice.
liked the one at 8:51 is nice.
I actually applauded the last one!
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.
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
Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: Those are a beautiful lot of colorful nuggies! I dig those mirror finishes!
Fabulous job, as always , Taylor! I really enjoyed this video! Thank you!
very pretty
Agates - more than just bands! Love them thank you for sharing.
❤❤❤
The one at 9:51 is my favorite so far.
I gasp for the two you choose to keep half or whole
Absolute stunners. I'm going to have to get some of those.
🙌
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.
A beautiful batch!
they look like they have a flame on the inside. mysterious and beautiful.
6:13 a slice of that one would make a GORGEOUS pendant for a necklace
The botryoidals were nice
did you see the fox face in the one cut?
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!
That last one was so sweet!
I take it back, the one 14:12 is my favorite!
Love gemology! Wowzers, what a haul! STUNNING!❤
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!!
Aah Malawian but the best are in the Limpopo river allready tumbled in the winter when there is no water there near beit bridge
I have to invest in one of those saws
Save all the ones that break or look odd or whatever & set them inside big blocks of clear resin as paperweights & bookends.
Pretty Rocks!!! 🥰🥰
