    Are the agates that show up blue in the video, really blue? Or just an illusion? They are so pretty.

      They are some good boys for sure😁 they both seem to know where the agates are more than i do🤣 and as for the blue, its kind of a yes and a no; some of the agates are truly that blue but some of them have their blue color caused by the depth of the stone, and as soon as you cut them they dont look blue anymore. There's a term for that but i cant remember at the moment😅
