First... I love your videos. Second, for the crazy lace. Cut it first and then break off some pieces to tumble. I'm on my final day of tumbling Mexican Craze Lace Agate today... I can't wait.
The best sound effects! What a beautiful bunch of rocks. I can't wait to see them either cut, cut, cut or tumbled. I looks like you made a great purchase. Who knew, a box of rocks.
Ariel, love your craft and love your enthusiasm! I love rocks too! You have some of the best agates and rocks! This last show $281.00 box was the Greatest!!!!! I wish I had so many of yours Keep it up! ❤️
I loved this so much! It’s so much fun to see the same sense of joy, wonder and excitement that I have ❤ Thanks for sharing your beautiful new collection!! Also. Loved your sound effects 😅
I geek out over rocks too. When I visit Minnesota, that's all I want to do is go to Lake Superior and look for rocks, but I guess I should visit my kids and grands too...;) Luckily, my grands love rock hunting too!
BEAUTIFUL!!! I can’t believe those agates you got! 0:00 That large crystal agate oh No! Too Gorgeous. I want it so much!! Love your enthusiasm and glad you bought all this. I so enjoyed todays video! I love Agates!!! Thanks, Linda So beautiful!
OMG that was a huge spend on rocks but soooo worth it! Those beautiful rocks were just amazing! Green tree agates are some of my favorite and just look stunning tumbles! And that Brazilian agate chunk is just going to be ridiculous when you cut it! And that crazy lace is drop dead gorgeous! I couldn't bring myself to break it or cut it up! I would pay to have it polished as is! And all the Malawi agates babies and large ones are going to be fun! And that sarape jasper is just stunning! Wow! You are going to have soooo much fun! Thanks for sharing your box of rocks with us!❤
this takes me back to my own rock obsession days as a little girl... I used to live next to a mineral/gem store that wasn't woowoo and i need to find a nice desk piece for my work office
Hi Ariel, this is my 1st time watching one of your videos. You are so cute and funny. The sound affects are "PRICELESS!" I moved to Arizona last June. I'm in love with how many different rocks are here. I'm from Minnesota... I have been watching Agate Dad. The rocks are amazing in that package. Money well spent if you ask me.
Oh my goodness I'm absolutely in awe, I would've paid a lot more for just half of that box, just absolutely stunning, I'm a freshman to this whole rock thing and I was basically just tumbling regular Ole river pebbles but I never knew those rocks you just showed even existed, where would I even begin to look for anything similar, thank you for sharing your videos
Yeah worth every penny!! I fully enjoy watching your video. Both the beauty of the rocks and also just to hear the excitement and passion these rocks give you. I can fully understand your dilemma not wanting to disturb this beauty as you found them but also want to cut it in pieces just to pry out all the beauty the rocks have. Good luck with all your future rocks. You rockstar! 😂
Love that crazy lace. I'd love to see a bunch of polished slabs, so we can see all the little details inside. I wouldn't want to tumble it, you'd lose too much of the stone that way, and every bit of it is so cool! Same thing with the sarape jasper.
Wow Ariel, what a great haul! That Crazy Lace is fantastic! It's big enough that I would be tempted to cut a slab or two off the best faces and then polish all the cut faces that are on the remainder.
The crazy lace would look awesome as slabs, and then if any of it breaks into chunks that will work for tumbling, then give that a go... Such an amazing piece of agate!!
New subscriber! My son saw a rock tumbler at his school science fair. He decided he wanted to do it so we got one. We stumbled upon your videos looking for help. Watching your videos is becoming our favorite past time aside from finding our own rocks and tumbling them. We also make it up to Duluth a couple times a year and already had a supply of rocks we had gathered for fun. Thanks for the great content. Can’t wait to see you cut the geodes and large agate!
That crazy lace agate is phenomena! The Botswana agates with the yellow & that piece of tree agate with the stem & leave designs - well. the whole haul was just incredible - but those were some of my favorites
I think you did exactly the right thing and the results of what you’ve got in the post are fantastic and well worth the money. I’m sure that also that when you polish the ones that you are going to polish, they will be worth a lot more and you will get so much enjoyment out of them. That big one you have is gorgeous.😱❤️
For the crazy lace...do both. Cut down the middle and make a few slabs from each half...then tumble the remainder either as is, or cut them in half for four pieces to tumble.
YES I would ABSOLUTELY spend $300 on rocks!! I also find it cute how excited you get about seeing orange lol. We have pretty high iron where I am so everything starts out orange but depending on what I pick up, most of that orange tumbles off
Okay! Oh jeeze!! Oh man!! Well? Work on my jerp? Jeep! lol! Pull out the ole rock tumbler? Woj? Pull out tumbler? Humm? I know! It’s early Sunday morning and time enough to do both! Haha! My tumbler is a 70s throwback like myself! lol born in 60 so I win! Was passed down from my dad to older bro then passed to me so feeling a bit nostalgic I will dedicate this load of? Humm? Real old desert hunted and found red black and green glass pieces! Then I finish hooking up my jeeps new radiator 😊 thank you so much for sharing your love and adventures into unwrapping the oh so hidden beauties these kicked around treasures offer up! My first time seeing you but definitely not my last! I’m so tickled bright pink! Getting started now! P.S. I also have many of the grits and grains and polishers in original 70s and 80 s bottles as well as a shi..! Tun of polishing husks! lol. All better than what they have now. In my opinion 😊
When you opened the box I recognized the label on a couple of packages. Yes they have a great selection and I have bought slabs and polished stones from them at shows but I love seeing the rough. I plan to get some once I can set up a tumbling area.
That was a fun video. You got a really nice assortment and great quality with all of them. I am drawn to Sarape jasper, so I really like that one a lot. I would slab it and the Mexican Crazy Lace or MCL for short. Thanks for sharing.
Have you ever rock hunted or gotten any rocks from Little Rock Arkansas? My grandmother and aunt moved there when I was little and I used to find so many crystals and loved to find ugly skinned rocks to break open and find gorgeous crystals inside and some were like agates...not being old enough to know anything about minerals I can't say for sure. But I know that there are some awesome rocks to be found there. Arkansas also has a diamond field that the public can dig in...and it produces. I always wanted to go but never got to go. My favorite rock always was the pink quartz that was common in our driveway. I still have one...just one from my childhood that I had put in my old jewelry box. I hope I still have it...but it's in my memories if not. This was soooo fun! You are a wealth of knowledge and I can't wait to see more of what you have in your collection. My favorite thing to do is to watch opal rubbing with Justin from Black Opal Direct...all his come from Lightening Ridge Australia. I enjoy other channels for rock hounds too. So I'm a new sub to your channel!
Oh I am jealous lol. This was so exciting to see. I want these too! They are just so beautiful. I was thinking of how many wire wraps I could do just letting the rocks set how the wire wrap develops! Thank you so much for sharing such an exciting surprise!
I just spent $400 on rocks at the Rock Shed. If you love rock tumbling like I do, it's money well spent. I wash my rocks off before they go in the tumble, as well. You can see the patterns & colors better, plus you get the dust & litter bits off them
Bought rock tumbling kits for 2 of my granddaughters on Christmas… They used the kit items, then stopped the process🤔I think I may get myself a tumbler and try it. I live in the Sierra foothills of No CA and we HAVE SOME ROCKS! They are beautiful without a tumble; can’t imagine how awesome they would look after the whole process!’
you'd love the natural jasper formations you get on the east coast of australia. there are beaches where i pick up polished bright red stones that you could stick a price tag on and sell as-is. the sand and the water polish them for you, and the gently eroding cliffs reveal bands of jasper and quartz, even the occasional fossil.
Beautiful rocks, loved them as a kid growing up in Oklahoma…as the seemed foreign to me. Can’t wait for the outcomes, I’ll subscribe for more. Will you please get a box cutter though? The father in me was triggered by the scissor handling young lady!😮😅
It looks like there's PLANTS in that rock and/or crystal at 2:20 🤨 I've NEVER seen anything like that. Truly amazing. I would NOT mess with, change or manipulate that rock in any way..... THAT'S rare. It's literally probably plants in that rock. HOW that's possible, Idk.
If your large chunk of Crazy Lace Agate were mine, I would slab it on All sides to open up the hidden interior patterns. What fun! What do you use all your tumbled stones for? In all the years I bought stones: rough, slabs or chunks on occasion, I never tumbled them, as I prefered slabbing so I could then cut interesting shapes for creating handcrafted jewelry.
You're going to need a bigger saw! For the crazy lace, you could probably have the best of both worlds. Make slabs out of the main body and leave some of the other shards or outer pieces large enough to polish.
Hearing another person get just as excited as I do for rocks is phenomenal.
Absolutely. Watching her videos always brightens my day and makes me feel almost normal, 😆
❤I love my rocks
That’s what I was thinking too!
I KNOW. RIGHT?
Your enthusiasm over rocks validates my own obsession. Maybe I’m not so crazy after all. 😊
So glad to hear I'm not crazy too. 😂
Absolutely not! Rocks are the best!
I feel like I finally have a family ❤. Rocks, Rock!! Lol
I found my tribe ❤😂
Just don't pray to them or any of that crazy stuff and you're good lol
First... I love your videos.
Second, for the crazy lace. Cut it first and then break off some pieces to tumble. I'm on my final day of tumbling Mexican Craze Lace Agate today... I can't wait.
That was my thought too.
the sound effects were an integral part of the viewing experience 10/10 would recommend
OMG, the little rock with the face in the background is adorable. And i agree, the sound effects are the best! Ariel is the queen of rock hounds!
Haha aww thank you!!
Those were some top notch sound effects! 🤣🤣🤣
Bahaha I’m glad you liked them 😂
The best sound effects! What a beautiful bunch of rocks. I can't wait to see them either cut, cut, cut or tumbled. I looks like you made a great purchase. Who knew, a box of rocks.
Thank you so much! It’s going to be such a fun adventure these next several months!
Holy smokes, that crazy lace is amazing… my jaw is hanging open 😮in total awe!
Whatever you decide to do with it will be amazing I’m sure of that.
Thank you so much! It really is such a stunner!!
Ariel, love your craft and love your enthusiasm! I love rocks too!
You have some of the best agates and rocks! This last show $281.00 box was the Greatest!!!!! I wish I had so many of yours
Keep it up!
❤️
Thank you so much!!
Where did you get these? I just came across your channel and already love your personality!
Loved the giant crazy lace agate. Healing properties for crazy lace agate are soothing. Nice channel.
Thank you so much!
Slab the crazy lace!! It's gorgeous!!❤❤
Totally agree!
Unbelievable! Makes me want to buy a bunch. Well worth it. Does anybody else notice that most women open packages with scissors while men use a knife?
as an enby i exclusively use pizza cutters
Haha you are so right-I never noticed that!
Well that’s because Women don’t go buy 47 knives they own kitchen knives that’s it
I'd use a house key... Or a knife if it was close by... assuming I don't use brute strength.
I use what is available and I am a female
I can see why you spent what you did! My heart was jumping in my chest seeing some of those!!!
Right!! It is going to be a pretty great next several months 🤣
I loved this so much! It’s so much fun to see the same sense of joy, wonder and excitement that I have ❤
Thanks for sharing your beautiful new collection!!
Also. Loved your sound effects 😅
Can't wait too see the crazy lace polished
Right!!! They sent such a beautiful specimen!
I geek out over rocks too. When I visit Minnesota, that's all I want to do is go to Lake Superior and look for rocks, but I guess I should visit my kids and grands too...;) Luckily, my grands love rock hunting too!
Love the enthusiasm and sound effects. Can’t wait to see what you do with them.
BEAUTIFUL!!! I can’t believe those agates you got! 0:00
That large crystal agate oh No! Too Gorgeous. I want it so much!! Love your enthusiasm and glad you bought all this. I so enjoyed todays video! I love Agates!!!
Thanks, Linda
So beautiful!
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!
OMG that was a huge spend on rocks but soooo worth it! Those beautiful rocks were just amazing! Green tree agates are some of my favorite and just look stunning tumbles!

Thanks for sharing your box of rocks with us!❤
Of course-I’m glad you liked it! I am so excited to I can’t wait!!
Gorgeous!! I can’t wait to see the results! I hope you do slabs and tumble of the crazy lace.
this takes me back to my own rock obsession days as a little girl... I used to live next to a mineral/gem store that wasn't woowoo and i need to find a nice desk piece for my work office
Thanks for making rock hunting a "normal", fun, and outdoor adventure!!
Of course! It’s an awesome hobby!
Hi Ariel, this is my 1st time watching one of your videos. You are so cute and funny. The sound affects are "PRICELESS!" I moved to Arizona last June. I'm in love with how many different rocks are here.
I'm from Minnesota... I have been watching Agate Dad.
The rocks are amazing in that package. Money well spent if you ask me.
Omg, I received a package today🤣❤, I love rocks, that ones are gorgeous❤❤
Right?! Rocks are awesome!
I just found your channel, and I must say. I am absolutely here for it. You are so much fun to watch.
Oh my goodness I'm absolutely in awe, I would've paid a lot more for just half of that box, just absolutely stunning, I'm a freshman to this whole rock thing and I was basically just tumbling regular Ole river pebbles but I never knew those rocks you just showed even existed, where would I even begin to look for anything similar, thank you for sharing your videos
I'm still going to buy $281 in rocks. You can't stop me.
I am excited but where is Part 2, so we can see the results??
Wow! Very beautiful rocks I'm very impressed, truly beautiful!
Cheers!
Yeah worth every penny!! I fully enjoy watching your video. Both the beauty of the rocks and also just to hear the excitement and passion these rocks give you. I can fully understand your dilemma not wanting to disturb this beauty as you found them but also want to cut it in pieces just to pry out all the beauty the rocks have.

Great idea!
Great video, thanks for sharing! I really like the fine details on that crazy lace. Definitely take a couple of slabs!
Wow Ariel, what a great haul! That Crazy Lace is fantastic! It's big enough that I would be tempted to cut a slab or two off the best faces and then polish all the cut faces that are on the remainder.
That’s a great idea! I might just do that!
Best $281 ever spent! I can't wait to see how they turn out. I'm so excited for you!!
Thank you so much!
Where can I buy this box
Yes, who did you buy these from?
The crazy lace would look awesome as slabs, and then if any of it breaks into chunks that will work for tumbling, then give that a go... Such an amazing piece of agate!!
Then it would be the best of both worlds!
Big kick out of your excitement & enthusiasm about shipment slab cuts will be exciting enjoyed the video thanks
Thank you so much!
@@AgateAriel you are welcome sorry so late just enjoy your content. You make me smile and laugh watching your videos thanks
Already blown away with the beauty in the first bag 😍 now to finish the vid!👍👍
Right!! It was such a great haul!!!

Just ran into this video and Oh my goodness! Some beautiful rocks there! I hope I get to see some of these cut.
I Love watching you Ariel!!! Hugs from Canada!
your last bag, I would take a couple and just polish the banded side because those are amazing, that is what I love about Mother Nature.
That’s a really good idea!
That crazy lace agate is phenomena! The Botswana agates with the yellow & that piece of tree agate with the stem & leave designs - well. the whole haul was just incredible - but those were some of my favorites
Crazy lace slabs.!!!!! It's most beautiful ❤
Another vote for slabs!
Can’t wait what to see what you do with them, great!
At 6:34 that one reminds me of the colors in a pastel sunrise, just gorgeous!
I would definitely slab the crazy lace. Some amazing rocks.
Another vote for slab!
Those sound effects were really funny lol, I loved the tree agate!!!
Haha thank you!
Awesome! Where did you get them? Can’t wait to see what happens after you tumble them!
Right!! I cannot wait!! I got them from the Gem Shop!
@AgateAriel is that an online store
YES! Do you have a link you can share?! @@AgateAriel
I think you did exactly the right thing and the results of what you’ve got in the post are fantastic and well worth the money. I’m sure that also that when you polish the ones that you are going to polish, they will be worth a lot more and you will get so much enjoyment out of them. That big one you have is gorgeous.😱❤️

Haha finders keepers! 🤣
I love anything blue and green 💚

Thank you! Yes the sarape Jasper is really pretty!
Yes sliced up like you said on the one that had so many bands in it but thinner you could make a wind chimes with it
Keep making videos! You have a wonderful, expresive on camera personality!
I want to thank NVIDIA now having auto-HDR.
This looks amazing!
Definitely slabs for the crazy lace ❤. The pink Botswana agate is probably my favorite I'm a sucker for any type of banding
Oh I love your haul!! The crazy lace you should do both a nice slab to capture as much as possible, and some small ones.

you are a bundle of joy to watch - awesome box opening noises - i subscribed 1 second after making them LMAO !!!!
Haha love it!
Ok, the ASMR… so calming, so much wow, Yass Kween! 😂😂🫶
So beautiful! Lucky girl. I hope you slice the big one then tumble it. Then decide if you want to make them smaller.
Great box of rocks and cool video friend
Thank you so much!
Thank u for sharing the rocks
Of course!
I love rocks bc of you ariel… youre like a movie about rocks!!!! 0:43
That is so awesome!!
Oh I am jealous lol. This was so exciting to see. I want these too! They are just so beautiful. I was thinking of how many wire wraps I could do just letting the rocks set how the wire wrap develops! Thank you so much for sharing such an exciting surprise!
I would leave the crazy lace just the way it is. ❤
Oh my God, I just geeked out for this whole video like I was opening those bags!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Good to see the Malawis again. 😇
🎉🎉CUT the crazy lace!!!
Another vote for cut!
Slab and cab your big crazy lace!!!😃
I just spent $400 on rocks at the Rock Shed. If you love rock tumbling like I do, it's money well spent. I wash my rocks off before they go in the tumble, as well. You can see the patterns & colors better, plus you get the dust & litter bits off them
Exactly what I think!
CRAZY LACE SLABS!!❤❤🎉🎉
The pink agates are my favorite! They look like jawbreakers!
Wow. Cool rocks 👍👍
Agreed!
I ordered rocks from The Rock Shed right after watching this - I am NOT disappointed!!!! I received great stuff!!!
I wish someone hyped me up like this lady with her rocks
Bahaha this is a great comment 😆
Good video. Although I love to find them, to get a good selection of rocks you almost have to buy them. Thanks for taking us through your purchase.😎
Just tumbled my 1st batch. They turned out perfect!!
As a person that really started to find interest in minerals/rocks/crystals Im happy to have found your channel
Haha I appreciate your feedback! Thanks for checking out my channel!
Bought rock tumbling kits for 2 of my granddaughters on Christmas… They used the kit items, then stopped the process🤔I think I may get myself a tumbler and try it. I live in the Sierra foothills of No CA and we HAVE SOME ROCKS! They are beautiful without a tumble; can’t imagine how awesome they would look after the whole process!’
Slabs for the crazy lace😍
Great idea!
Would love to know where you bought those from!! Gorgeous!
It’s called The Gem Shop!
@@AgateAriel I’ve heard of them! Spectacular pieces!! And I feel like you got an awesome deal for the price!!
I've been waiting for some carnelian to arrive and this video is like a mirror of my excitement whenever I get a hefty usps box 😂
Stuning queen 🤣
Yasss queen!
you'd love the natural jasper formations you get on the east coast of australia. there are beaches where i pick up polished bright red stones that you could stick a price tag on and sell as-is. the sand and the water polish them for you, and the gently eroding cliffs reveal bands of jasper and quartz, even the occasional fossil.
Crush the crazy lace and tumble it you can always get a cut or too as well
Holy moly that's a beautiful agate!! Don't cut it in slabs!! Get polishing bits to put on drills and polish it as-is!😊
That sounds like a lot of work-but would be SO worth it!!
Slab and stones. Use every teeny tiny inch. For the big lace. ❤
I too love receiving a box of rocks 😂
That crazy lace had every color in the rainbow in it! So gorgeous!
Beautiful rocks, loved them as a kid growing up in Oklahoma…as the seemed foreign to me.
Can’t wait for the outcomes, I’ll subscribe for more.
Will you please get a box cutter though?
The father in me was triggered by the scissor handling young lady!😮😅
Haha will do 😅
You inspired me to have my own mineral collection, and my collection is really cool so Ty so much!
It looks like there's PLANTS in that rock and/or crystal at 2:20 🤨 I've NEVER seen anything like that. Truly amazing.
I would NOT mess with, change or manipulate that rock in any way..... THAT'S rare. It's literally probably plants in that rock. HOW that's possible, Idk.
If your large chunk of Crazy Lace Agate were mine, I would slab it on All sides to open up the hidden interior patterns. What fun!
What do you use all your tumbled stones for?
In all the years I bought stones: rough, slabs or chunks on occasion, I never tumbled them, as I prefered slabbing so I could then cut interesting shapes for creating handcrafted jewelry.
You're going to need a bigger saw! For the crazy lace, you could probably have the best of both worlds. Make slabs out of the main body and leave some of the other shards or outer pieces large enough to polish.
Oh that’s not a bad idea!!
