Here in Tasmania, I search for agates on the beach ❤️
Every one I find is different, it's so hard to get your eye in!
Small or big, I love them all.
Most have lost any remnant of host rock,
You inspire me to TH-cam my beautiful island home!
Thanks for sharing xxx

What an amazing shark! ....making it extra special

[@donnaherzig8106]

I love the beautiful blue base with the subtle banding. I think what I love best, is you left it nestled in it's natural base. Makes the finished side so much more impressive. I am drawn to blue so this really excited me. TY for sharing with us. 😊

[@CheckOutBushy]

Love it and what a perfect polish. I think i need to invest in one of these machines. Beautiful work as always mate. 🤓🙏

[@AgateDad]

They’re so fun!

[@jeytex3161]

The rock community is wonderful to give and to share. Thanks for your posts!
Looking forward to more.

[@largent45]

Wow! That agate was gorgeous! And it did look like a shark! lol It was a really unique looking agate, and the kind we dont get here in the states. But that blue color was gorgeous and the light banding it had in it was awesome. The orange spots were beautiful too. Perfectly placed to give the shark an eye, and there was a squiggly spot that gave hum a perfect mouth! Taylor you did an awesome job polishing it and thank you dan for the awesome agate to polish!

[@michellestenton6430]

Absolutely gorgeous. Well done Taylor. Thanks for sharing.

[@CharlieOkeson]

Thanks, Dan! Thanks for sharing, Taylor.
The shark now has an eye and a great smile, like he's laughing along with you. Adorable. Being from BC Canada, I actually see a Pacific Salmon, with the red indicating spawning season. 👍✌️

[@debispilker4392]

Pretty! Thanks for the videos!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Thanks for the info Dan!!

[@Reet64]

Bayyyyy-beeeeee shark! Doot doo doo doot doo doo….

[@ZaDussault]

I LOVE having a non flat polished part of a stone and the rest raw. I think it's not done enough and it makes me want a polishing setup, but I don,t have the money nor space. That's sad because I have buckets full of cut geodes that I can't polish

[@AgateDad]

Keep saving and make it happen ☺️

[@ZaDussault]

@@AgateDad would you have a suggestion on what machine is the most versatile? I would love a flat disc, but maybe something like you have coule be better?

[@sheilawinchester1905]

They have directions online for making flat lap sanders. I have tried but haven't been successful yet. I will keep trying though.

[@E.o.t.4637]

Mother Earth is an amazing artist isn't she? Also leaving the husk cradling it in all its glory was a good call! All I can say is Bravo Taylor!

[@reneebarrett1161]

I live in Illinois I found a similar shape I thought it was shaped like a fish I’m not sure what it eventually turned out to be I have too many rocks. I know I will come across it again. When I do I will show it to you.

[@MBW4449]

Do the rest of it.

[@AgateDad]

I like how it is 😃

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

It really looks a lot like a mozambique agate. The colors are stunning, I would bet that it is red all the way through.

[@AgateDad]

Where are those from?

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

@@AgateDad East Africa.

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

Fist one is a complete match.

Where did you purchase all of your protective gear?

If you’re talking about the apron, it’s on Amazon, mask was home depot

[@theresaherrrera8224]

Not fare....I want to see 👀 more....😩😂

[@AgateDad]

😂🙌

[@dantoppa1265]

You probably wont see many bands till you grind or cut the knoby bits off

[@AgateDad]
