One of the very rare times where you don't manage to cut open at least one particularly spectacular specimen. This cutting session seems to show what may consistently be found in the El Sueco agates. As you said, not bad, but not spectacular. All pretty in their own way.
I try to preselect the agates I am cutting for videos to make the quality I am cutting as good as possible. Windowed pieces will increase the quality over not windowed agates, because they already reveal a hint of their quality.
I believe it was because the ranch that these agates are found on in Chihuahua, Northern Mexico, was at one time, owned by a gentleman who came from Sweden.
Thanks for sharing Josh, better luck next time!…🇨🇦⛏⛏⛏
I watched one of your videos the other day talking about faces and animals in the band patterns. You got another smiley face in the 2nd agate.
#1 is really awesome and my favorite!
A bunch of duds, but that's how it goes. I just love your saw! It's the nicest one I've ever seen!!!
They are still very pretty. Good eye spotting the Pseudomorph
#2 lil purple hippo or dinosaur for sure!
Nice cuts Josh!

Why are Mexican agates called "the swede"?

#2 , in your left hand, looked like a smiling dinosaur face. It enen had nostrils on the snout.
