- Let's fire up our 10" saw and cut open a few larger pieces of agatized coral from Florida! Not only are these fossils agatized, but when hit with a ultraviolet light, the hidden details are exposed and we see many unseen bands that are very beautiful!

Agatized Coral, AKA Fossilized Coral, is formed when agate, a form of chalcedony replaces the minerals in coral. This process takes 20-30 million years and is known as pseudomorphic. These fossils are from the Oligocene-Miocene period. Agatized Coral is between 38-25 million years old. (google)

Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
Those were really gorgeous coral pieces. The coral heads are wonderful. Its so neat to see them in their natural state. And to be able to see them inside. Thanks for sharing.
So interesting that the bands are so much more apparent under the UV light. 🙂
So cool 😎
Love!! That big one was a brain. What is the red that shows up under the black light? Super cool. And still LOVe your format…Cut the rock, show the rock. You ROCK agate Dad!!
Beautiful sharing 👍😊
Good idea to bring the UV light out. They look great under UV.
Especially that last one, really amazing bands hiding in there
Wow! So beautiful inside!😊❤️
Now that was fascinating. Really beautiful especially under UV light. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning mijo....Those were nice....I really like the one that purple shine....of course 💜😄
Nice finds well done
* Those were such a surprise.. Thanks for showing us.. The UV showed the same red as the yooperlites out of Canada.. Never knew UV would show such impressive Agate bands..
What fun, unboxing and then cut, cut, cut. I'm always amazed by the black that is in there. Love the video side, by, side cut and the UV. Lots of work. Thanks for sharing! Be happy, safe and stay healthy! 😷⚒
Wow. Those look amazing.
I don't know a thing about rocks and I have no idea why TH-cam suggested this to me, but I'm having a fantastic time watching this. I Learned today that rocks can glow under UV!
Agatised coral is always awesome specially under uv light. 🤟👍
I loved the first and second coral pieces. Awesome under uv! 😃🥰
Amazing! Nature is a beautiful thing! Thank you so much for sharing!
Those are some really NICE pieces! I’m still picking out what I want to send you… I hope if you show it off you use more of this cool music!
They are truly beautiful and gorgeous to look at, especially under UV. 😍😍. You make cutting them look so easy when I know it’s not ( well for beginners anyway). Thank you for sharing
That UV light definitely brings out the richness of it...
I loved that third coral, it kind of looks like a brain. Talk about poetic!
Beautiful! ❤
So nice, love those corals. Have you ever cut some local corals to see how they look inside?
I haven’t yet, I haven’t found enough quite yet
Very awesome 😎👍 I love that stuff ❤️
WOW! Incredible.
Black lights take rock hounding to another level! Just Stunning!
Wow very cool!
dude im feelin the vibe of this video good song choice! always love your vids bro you're one seriously under-rated rockhound-youtuber.
Hey, I really enjoy your channel, and I have a really interesting chunk of rock I'd like you to look at and possibly cut that I found in Central Nevada.
Amazingly beautiful 👍💕
WOW, the things you can do with the right equipment
Right?
Agatisated corals are really beautiful!♥
They really are!
I just learned about these agatized corals! They are so gorgeous and unusual! Amazing. Every single one is beautiful in its own way. I hope I get the chance to find one someday--my kids are big into rock collecting so maybe we'll have to visit Florida one day together to hunt for these :D
All are beauties!
Wow! I think pieces like that last one would look better with a side cut more like a window that cut down the middle. It would have showed it off better & you could have seen more of the agate easier
The last one looks like a 🧠 under uv light. 🔥🔥
Meu aonho ter uma maquina dessas. Onde vc comprou?
I just found you! Are you near Duluth MN? I have a few agates you could cut into. Lol. This is awesome!
We looked from Two Harbors to Grand Portage this weekend. So many people the beaches were packed. We'll have to go up next mo th and try for agates we found a ton of thomsonite and jasper. Cold but still went swimming after em on paradise beach
Awesome video! It sounds like the beach crystal cave got you sick! I'd say still worth it 🤣
Wow!!
Fabulous
Like those little specs of sodalite too.
The red bits were paint from my saw blade
@@AgateDad you mean the orange glowing particles were the paint from the saw?
Rất độc là và đẹp mắt bên trong những viên đá hóa thạch san hô Chúc mừng bạn nhiều nhé
Nice pieces, but I prefer when you cut the plain agates... 🤷♀️
Muoto perfeita esses Geodos
Tienen un color muy bonito bajo la luz ultravioleta.
These look great, what do you do with them ?
What do you do with the stuff that you wash out of the cracks and crevices the gunk as you call it
Throw it away
I think some specialists would be interested in that "gunk"....
Ancient biomaterials & their secrets gone..
I do enjoy watching your videos but this is the first time I've seen one where you do this
Off topic but I thought of you when I saw a picture today of 30 types of LS agates. Was wondering how many different types you have? My bet is all 30.
What would be the best saw and blades you've used for cutting geodes and agates? What do you do for super huge specimens? Also, what UV light are you using? short wave?
name of the cutting maschine ?
Did I miss something? How do you clean it up?
Definitely did not miss anything. I cleaned it with hot water a tooth brush.
But my vote is the third one!
This is, how you say, cutting edge?
The first one and last one you cut remind me of a brain.
Totally! 🧠
Or 🫁
Can you just glue that piece back on that fractured off the rock?
Coral. Swag.
ain't nothing that old
Dont like it lol
Hi, thank you for the video! What did you use to clean up the inside? Did you use a strong acid, vinegar, citric acid, or just pressure washer? They turned out so beautiful!
OMG! The second time I watched this I really noticed the cavities. They’re beautiful. 👍👍
So much hidden beauty in this world!!!! 😮
So beautiful!!!
Dude so amazing giant agatized coral
I love these videos and your ig posts!
Thanks so much!
Rock on
👍👍😍😍😍
Love what the black light shows 👍👍
Same!
You sound sick Taylor 😢
I am getting I’ve a little cold, luckily on the up and up each day
Those are so beautiful.
They are!
That was awesome! Love the botryoidal. Especially loved your transition filming from the regular light to UV light!
Do you know anyone that would cut a rock into as many slabs as possible and at what coast ❓ rock dimensions are 12" X 8 " X 2 " thick. Cut in 12" long slabs. I live in Duluth sounds like you are in the same area.
Those were awesome, even better under the uv light! Thanks for sharing!
That first rock was beautiful with the ultraviolet light!
Very cool
😱🤗👏
