I'd love to see the darkest ones sliced thinly and held against the sunlight to see their real hue. They are so unique and elegant somehow. Re: DADA I'm not totally against dyeing agates, but fully against selling them as naturals! They should be marked and advertised with a big sign that says "DYED". Many sellers do, but many sadly don't.
I wonder if a thin cut on some of the dark ones might show the banding better. Fun video. Never stop being excited and happy, it is part of why I love watching you.
The one with the quartz running through the middle look like sandwich cookies. They could be polished into discs and advertised as petrified Oreos ☺ . I use captions and the generator doesn't know what to do with the word "agate." My favorites so far are eggs, erget, OTS, egret, eggot, and igot.
I don’t know much about agates other than the cool stuff you share here and had no idea folks dyed them but I definitely would want what nature made. I personally liked those first few you cut that were black they would make great cabs for the walking sticks I make! Currently I recycle granite and marble countertops for them. Great video and definitely don’t tone down your laughter through life! ❤
have to be truthful i liked the laughing when one of the stones surprise and thrill you. One of the reasons i stopped to look at you. You always made me smile with your laugh. If it is natural keep it, please. I noticed you had put a stop this video. If you are trying to control it well stop, be natural and real please. I enjoy your enthusiasm. I enjoy you as much as your agates.
Same here! His enthusiasm is contagious! I also love how he respects his “duds” with complimentary words “very interesting” and “not so good but still worth it”. He loves his “studs” and appreciates his “duds”! I also appreciate that he says “Oh, my gosh” not God. I appreciate that, too.
This was an amazing video Taylor such beautiful rocks and all natural too!!! I’m not a rock person I just love your reveals, they amaze me!!! Who knew rocks could be so beautiful, certainly not me!!!
I'm against dying any stone, especially agates. I absolutely loved the long, narrow one with the band of quartz down the center at 3:11. I also loved the one at 5:40..I thought it looked like butterfly wings. Thanks for sharing with us; I look forward to your posts and always enjoy every minute.
I really don't know one rock from the other, nor did I know you can DYE a rock. I have, however, been enjoying your tutorial and enthusiasm of what you share. Thank you!
I hope you ignore the negative souls who have something to say about your laugh! Miserable people can't stand to hear genuine joy and laughter. They are incapable of happiness. And misery really DOES love company! You're a "gem", Agate Dad!😁
i actually really like the darker ones without much detail! i know agates are wanted for their designs, but the darker ones are just so beautiful and give off a simple elegance that i enjoy
Wow...those are beauties. First time I've seen these cut. Thanks for the content. I don't get that far south to hunt for those but maybe this fall/winter. I'd love to put a hunt for blue agate video together. Fred
Oh so beautiful! ❤ As you say awesome. I’d like to see what a cab would look like from those dark ones. Some of the smaller beauties would make beautiful pendants. ❤❤
Another fun video! I love your channel. Keep the great videos coming and never, ever change your personality. Your excitement is infectious. I too felt you were trying to dial back your true excitement. Be yourself. You are awesome!
Wow! Nature is so beautiful! God is so cool! 🤩 Thank you for your content! It never gets old (the saw will always make me nervous when it gets near your fingers 😅)! Btw- "stud-muffin" made me lol. I'm gonna start using that😂
Tide Water agates is just above my area and the finds are stunning. I'm so glad you cut some local agates. I have tons and try to guess what's inside. Now I have some idea. Thank you Agate Dad and Tidewater
@AgateDad that's a bummer. I live in Washington state and have a couple of the really dark blue and black agates and under UV there are some ghost bands that look pretty cool.
Wow! Some of those are amazing! That last one is my FAVORITE ❤ Funny…when you buy Manganese at the pharmacy…it’s NOT BLUE…maybe we should send them a #DADA STICKER!!😂😂 Looking forward to seeing them at Etsy soon. 💙
I am so with you where dyed agates are concerned!! Just say NO! Some beauties today.That last one was fabulous! I was wondering if you were familiar with Ellensburg Blue.It's a type of blue agate that occurs only in one place:Ellensburg WA in the Pacific Northwest.You generally find it either as specimens or in jewelry.
You never disappoint. There were some absolutely gorgeous blue agates in the batch, they will polish very well. I am also curious what we would see if you were able cut thin slices of the very dark agates, would light from behind show hidden details?
We have blue quartz just east of the Blue Ridge Mtns here in VA. I haven’t cut any yet. I have one in the tumbler. But we have no agates.☹️. I agree, the best was last. Lots of pretty detail!
When I was a kid I was collecting crystals and stones. A lot of times I bought pretty stuff from vendors that only now I realize were 100% dyed, some even looked the exact same as the one on your DADA sign at the start 😂😂😅
Confession time - when I was walking by my pretty / interesting rock bowl, I stopped cold. I think one rock is a blue dyed agate with a quartz layer in the middle - the shame! 😮
Join the movement by checking out our DADA stickers on my etsy! agatedad.etsy.com
OLADA here Old Ladies... maybe make some slices of the dark ones, only if possible of course, maybe more detail will show up.
The last blue agate looks like some of the deep space pictures from the latest telescope in space
I am with you against dyed agates!!!!!!
absolutely! DADA!
Finally!
Someone doing the blues!
👍🇺🇸
Go DADA! I so agree! Nature chooses the best colors. These were gorgeous!
BLUE agates???!!!! Holy cow! Keep laughing, always makes me smile after a long day.
Don’t let ANYONE TAKE YOUR JOY AWAY FROM YOU. LAUGH IF YOU WANT ,IT JUST SHOWS YOUR JOY .AND I MUST SAY - THE WORLD NEEDS MORE OF THAT!!!
I'd love to see the darkest ones sliced thinly and held against the sunlight to see their real hue.
They are so unique and elegant somehow.

Oh wow....I love those ones....❤❤❤❤
Made me laugh😅, Dada! Thanks agate dad, love real agates!!!
I love this, it's like Christmas every time ! Thank You! God Bless.
God bless you too!
beautiful last agate!

LOL! I'm a mom, I need a different sticker. The 3rd one is my favorite with fan spray.
Sticker for the mommas… moms against modified agates…mama !
@@michellestenton6430 Exactly!!!!
The very dark ones would probably work really well for jewelry, especially if you used a bright metal to contrast
The 3rd agate was wow, just wow. I thought it looked like a fireworks show. Awesome! Happy belated 4th.
Thank you! You too!
My favorite one too! Thanks for sharing all your fun with us. ❤
Loved each cut... like opening a gift every time
The Heifer is really neat! 🐄

The 3rd one is like looking T the 4th of July. Beautiful 😊
For sure!
You always have the instinct to save the best for last! My favorite!
Gorgeous blue agates! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Another enjoyable watch, great as always, my thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Tidewater is an absolute legend!! Always love watching their videos, reels and TikTok’s!
This was an amazing video Taylor such beautiful rocks and all natural too!!! I’m not a rock person I just love your reveals, they amaze me!!! Who knew rocks could be so beautiful, certainly not me!!!
A great idea could be to slab the darker ones and put a light behind them to show their detail.
IMO, the dark ones can be the most beautiful!

Thank you for another awesome video.Some of them were so beautiful
Oh yes! That last one.
Those are great! The one with the black side and quartz middle…favorite ❤
I really don't know one rock from the other, nor did I know you can DYE a rock. I have, however, been enjoying your tutorial and enthusiasm of what you share. Thank you!
😮 Very exciting cutting session! 😂 Unique agates, can't wait to see them polished😊❤
(Sorry, my emoji was laughing!)🤣😂🤣😆
The arrow head looking one is beautiful.
I love the last one you cut it's amazing.
Would love to see some of those back-lit ❤
They look like little miracles to me I just love watching
These are beautiful agates!! Thank You!
LOVE them! Thanks for sharing them with us!

I’m always apprehensive about dyes when purchasing agates. Can you give a small tutorial of what to look for?
Those were some beautiful PNW agates❤
Gorgeous!
Very pretty!! I loved the one with the quartz inside that looked like a butterfly when the two sides were held together!🦋
These are my absolute favorite to find, only a few minutes away from where I live to find them, great cuts! Beautiful ❤
What area are they found? We’re in SW Washington.
I don’t need an exact location, just a general area.
Are they in the rivers, or on the beaches?
Blue agates - cool didn’t know they existed
Nice!!!
i actually really like the darker ones without much detail! i know agates are wanted for their designs, but the darker ones are just so beautiful and give off a simple elegance that i enjoy
Yay, some agates within driving distance for us!! 😁
Love your videos, and keep laughing! I get the same enthusiasm when I cut stuff open!
Miss your laughing on all beautiful cuts
It was there a couple times lol
Like the third one you cut!
Love Blue Agates And You Do Such A Great Job!
Oh, it was very interesting, I've never seen black agates before, so I liked all of them but my favorite was the last one.
Wow...those are beauties. First time I've seen these cut. Thanks for the content. I don't get that far south to hunt for those but maybe this fall/winter. I'd love to put a hunt for blue agate video together. Fred
Oh so beautiful! ❤ As you say awesome. I’d like to see what a cab would look like from those dark ones. Some of the smaller beauties would make beautiful pendants. ❤❤
Yay!!! You GO Dada!!!!
Love the last agate , reminds me of a Dalmatian dog !!
Another fun video! I love your channel. Keep the great videos coming and never, ever change your personality. Your excitement is infectious. I too felt you were trying to dial back your true excitement. Be yourself. You are awesome!
1:51 looks like a galaxy so beautiful
Beautiful ❤
Blue light on these might help show off the hidden bands in the dark ones.
very pretty
Wow! Nature is so beautiful! God is so cool! 🤩
Thank you for your content! It never gets old (the saw will always make me nervous when it gets near your fingers 😅)!
Btw- "stud-muffin" made me lol. I'm gonna start using that😂
These are insanely gorgeous!!! 💙💙💙
Thank you for sharing this amazing video...☺️👍
Love em all, but I think the 2nd last is my favorite 🥰
I lol-ed at your intro, I agree!!
Thanks for another fun video, you cut some stunning rocks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i love the amount of effort and time you put into your videos! always so fun to watch
So happy that you found some good bands. I was a little nervous at first 😂
You have an unique collection
I like your background music....easy jazz. ❤
I’m glad!
❤😊 I like the heifer. Also the other one who looked like blue flipflops.
Amazing color! I bet they would shine under blue light.
Oh wow. Those are gorgeous 😍❤️
I would love to c those what u cut and didnt show👍💕👋🇫🇮
Tide Water agates is just above my area and the finds are stunning. I'm so glad you cut some local agates. I have tons and try to guess what's inside. Now I have some idea. Thank you Agate Dad and Tidewater
❤
DADA, love it. Another very enjoyable video.👍
Those are sooo pretty
Some of the really dark ones should have bands that glow under UV.
I tried with a few and didn’t see anything
@AgateDad that's a bummer. I live in Washington state and have a couple of the really dark blue and black agates and under UV there are some ghost bands that look pretty cool.
midnight blue .so pretty !!!
3:11 Forbidden Oreos😵💫
That’s it! I am getting a saw
Do it!
Wow! Some of those are amazing! That last one is my FAVORITE ❤
Funny…when you buy Manganese at the pharmacy…it’s
NOT BLUE…maybe we should send them a #DADA STICKER!!😂😂
Looking forward to seeing them at Etsy soon. 💙
The one at 5:14 looks like a butterfly!
It's so interesting how some of those resemble pietersite - very cool!
I lied. Stud-muffin is my fav now. :)
I liked the heifer and the Oreo cookie which was the one with the courts running through it
This is so wonderful to see. I live in the PNW and have wanted to see what blue agates look like on the inside.
I am new to your channel. I am addicted to your channel. You make me want to go out and find my own Agate.
I think my fav was the one that looked like an oreo
Some gorgeous agates in there. I'm all for D.A.D.A. I hate dyed agates and geodes.
🙌⚡️💎
I am so with you where dyed agates are concerned!! Just say NO!

Oh no! Lol
OMG you scared me at the beginning! hahaha BLUE is my favorite color xoxo
❤❤❤
Like the one at 7:45!
I love hot punk agates 😢 my favorite color ❤️
Omg I’m with you, I HATE when people dye natural things, especially rocks and minerals
