Hello and what is your thoughts on this find on the railway tracks! Photo following.

[@GarthRoseth-wg7pu]

Where can I send photos of a big hunk of earth history?

[@peggyhenson2713]

Teal waters flow into the blue colored walls of the grotto. The outer cave walls are an impressive rock face.

[@lisakaye3935]

Beautiful interpretation! I love the blue watery, sunset, grasses in these jaspers.

[@alicewilloughby4318]

peggy, that sounds like a poem!

[@kimallen9130]

How high are you!

[@sandmaker]

I loved them all. Even the one you weren't so crazy about. My favorite was the magic moon. I have never seen a stone like that and probably never will again. Thanks for sharing them all wit us. Cut, cut, cut! 😷⚒

[@bettynobriga6047]

I really like the fact that you do not talk a lot but show the results right off. I hate having to wait and wait to see what’s going on. Thank you

[@maryseaman312]

6:16 looks like those pudding rocks that Michigan Rocks enjoys so much! Each stone makes its own testimony, don't they? Like individual personalities!

[@meg2831]

3:07 i was thinking the same thing, it does look like a misty or foggy moon. Very pretty!

[@MicheleRuiz-h3j]

The imperial jasper is really nice. I really like the one with the water spots you mentioned. It seems a bit oriental to me. I also liked the one with the teal.

[@AgateDad]

It’s so unique!

[@dianekring7672]

I agree! It has a Japanese flair to it! Quite striking!! I love it!

[@jonathanmichaelmortarotti9230]

Hermosos Jasper, y como las personas,, la verdadera belleza está en su interior. Saludos y muy lindo el canal!!!

[@lynnrandal317]

Yes I love jasper! Sadly I can't watch the whole video now but I'll watch it later after my live class! 👍 😁 And amazing content Agate Dad keep up the good work

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

Your patience is outstanding I could never do that, I have trouble waiting for the kettle to boil lol 😂. Jasper will always be my favourite, the ones with the strange markings look like Japanese art. Fabulous.

[@Timeforstones]

Beautiful rocks, congatulations 🙂

[@alisoncleeton877]

You are the first person to see those colours in maybe millions of years. That's the really cool part! Thanks for sharing!💗

[@sophiafulgenzi9937]

Beautiful work! 💕

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Beautiful rocks! Thanks. Stay warm.

[@pedrasdeminasgerais.]

Thank you Very Nice, Congruations

[@pamelaklemp5615]

WOWSZA! Those are very beautiful 😍 ❤. Certainly befitting the name IMPERIAL JASPER. The GREEN one is my favorite, LOVE that one with its odd lines.

[@watchingthewheelsgoround260]

Definitely the right call! 🤩🤩🤩

[@jamieparsons6413]

Wow 👌 never heard of royal imperial jasper. Super beautiful 😍

[@Anna_Lyze]

One looks like a pair of shoe, one's like a moon scene, and the last one was like inside of a cave looking outside😍

[@eltorocal]

Royal Imperial Orbicular jasper... Jalisco, Mexico. Forms in hydrothermal volcanic vents.

[@meepenjaap7999]

New favorite, Imperial Jasper! Love the blue and orange contrast.

[@rickbuchanan6248]

The round one that is blue in the center reminds me of a pool in Yellowstone park.. those pools are fun to look at just as that jasper is.

[@eugeniaduarte6280]

To the untrained eye one wouldn’t suspect that there’s such beauty inside these rocks. I’ve collected a few rocks I thought were beautiful and brought them home with me. Color! How did this happen? Thank you.

[@watchingthewheelsgoround260]

How long till they are in your Etsy? I love the green water drip ones.

[@AgateDad]

They are in my Etsy now

[@watchingthewheelsgoround260]

@@AgateDad not anymore 😂

[@maryseaman312]

I watch you, Currently Rockhounding, and Michigan Rocks. After watching all you guys do with rocks, I am now looking at the "art", I so much more appreciate what y'all provide for us armchair rockhounds! I have never understood how anyone could sell what we find lying around along streams, etc. Needless to say - - I would PAY for gladly for how you take "just plain rocks" and reveal their inner beauty to others.

[@katibenelli9142]

My favorite honestly, was the one that had the moon shape with the fractures in them. the bonus was when the fracture disappeared until you added the water.

[@japhyryder66]

I would totally have bought the one that looks like the moon. I need it!

[@maryseaman312]

I am a newly, but that third one - - I thought for sure that if you would cut exactly where you ended up cutting that it would be fantastic! You did, and it WAS! All of them are just beautiful ... I wish I better understood about the minerals involved that create so much beauty and awe.

[@-hw-]

I all ready know this is going to be a good video.

[@baldeagle4225]

Gotta love the weather we’re getting right now!🥶

[@AgateDad]

Right?! It should warm in the next few days

[@jenlensis10]

These are beautiful!!!

[@kirsiselei8703]

So gorgeous❤

[@timpeel5094]

I love ❤️ Mozambique rock, all.good

[@E.o.t.4637]

Reminds me of a layered jawbreaker 😂love the blue center

[@MoneeQ222]

Wow! Gorgeous The one with the blue in the middle looks like the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park 🩵🩵🩵🧡🧡🧡

[@nicolepinkham4241]

Ok so, JUST YESTERDAY, before I watched your video, I was going through a batch of newly finished tumbled rocks of my own, and I ran onto one of those “magic” green rocks. I even thought the word “magic” in my head as I was looking at it. It’s so cool! It’s shiny and looks like a hard candy shell, but it still somehow absorbs water to temporarily change the color. Ive never seen anything like that either. I need to find more!!! So needless to say, when I saw your video, my jaw dropped to the floor after you discovered yours! If you find out anything more on those rocks, let us know! Thanks for all your fantastic videos!!!

[@EsmereldaPea]

Watching you in your shorts and sandals is making me colder than the draft from my living room window. Detroit area here. Warmed up to 17F but very windy out RN. Thanks for bringing the beauty to a blustery day! (I've been dreaming of using some stone buttons on one of my custom garments.)

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Wow! I've never seen Royal Imperial jasper before! How beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Love it! 😊

[@raystevens687]

I was just wondering how many rocks do you think you've polished on the Cab King.

[@AgateDad]

I have no idea lol

[@elfox3537]

Any chance you might cut one perpendicular to the design instead of parallel to it? Just to see what it looks like.

[@AgateDad]

Maybe in the next batch!

[@carolbalcar7999]

So cool ,I've never seen royal jasper befor.

[@lisamartin774Life]

The last one looks like a cave entrance....with a blue sky....dark blue water...

[@Innerglowllc]

Omgosh.....all of those are so beautiful. Jasper is a favorite of mine. I really love the ones with the moon....

[@CurleeChapa]

The green rock and the RIJ almost looks like wood after polishing....too cool!

[@laraewelch5217]

15:35 looks like Arch Rock on the Oregon Coast

[@california3186]

I absolutely love that green moon piece!! It’s awesome!!!

[@darrinwilliams5715]

That material is on fire!!!! Wow😎😎

[@janicecofiell1978]

Wow there all so beautiful but the one green one that has the perfect circle in the middle of it is super interesting and I love it 😊

[@rocktime3627]

Thanks for sharing this video! I like the blue one too. I've also posted some videos cutting Royal Imperial jasper. My batch seems to have a much higher yield of orbs (maybe 2 in 3). Curious where you got yours from? I got mine from JH Kalmore.

[@sharoncrawford4786]

It’s a real privilege to see something that no one has ever seen before. Thank you for sharing.

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

The third one looks like a moon. The fixers adds to its beauty!!!

[@kastah]

wow, L O V E D that one at 4.04, never seen anything like those Jaspers. Beutiful, love love love. Those who is kind of blurry, do you think you cut them the wrong way? Or, is they like that anyway??

[@hez5160]

I've fallen down a rabbit hole recently with your videos--- I just discovered your videos. I think the jasper at 4:16 looks like one of those glowy neon lights from the 90s!

[@Ametrine_Annie]

The colors in all of these are really beautiful. I enjoyed watching the process and hearing your thoughts along the way. I’m going to check out some of this jasper through your affiliate link.

[@laurabenson8227]

That weird green one looks like it has Asian writing in it. Not that I know Asian lettering, but that's my first impression. COOL!

[@rondareed6609]

My favorite is the green ones with the moon or sun in it, I know it's weird but i see a beautiful picture of a night time moon with the lines thru it giving them a other worldly vibe, if I could afford them I'd buy both of them lol. I like the odd and unique ones that most will not care for, they all are really cool thou, great work!!

[@robinsmith3719]

Simply gorgeous to look at. Really like this rocks.

[@CedarStoneCreations]

A single degree 😂, atleast it hasn’t been too bad of a winter! Just rockhounded yesterday as the snow is melting out west!

[@weiner1414]

Wow…. Nice! I have been using my 10” slab saw! Cut some rocks! I have one that is really cool! I would like to send you a pic of it to see what you think!

[@spruceangel01]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching your channel. From Alberta with ❤

[@СветланаЛевренц]

Неймовірно гарні каміння.

[@ZaDussault]

I love the rainbow ones! They are so pretty! I don't remember if you said it, but where are they from?

[@AgateDad]

Mexico ☺️

[@ZaDussault]

@@AgateDad thanks, they're really pretty!

[@marionhoppal6378]

I thought they were beautiful I know you didn't know what to think because you usually do agates but I think they're beautiful and you did a great job cutting them

[@sheeremthefirst]

3:13 it looks like the moon i want it. As well as the previous one omg. Thank you for your content! I have been binge-watching

[@cathleenfuller7895]

I love the weird ones!!! They remind me of Japnese paintings. Are you seeling them???

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

My favorite is the cross going through the moon!!!

[@coastalcutie2000]

Have you ever cut a piece that turned out to be less than what you wanted, then cut one of those halfs in the other direction, just to see what the difference might be? Just curious. Love your site!!

[@olenazareshniuk]

Beautiful colors 😍 They remind me of "The Book of Boba Fett" ~ locations

[@elcarlita101]

Hi do agates/ jasper stay shiny once cut? I don’t have access to a saw to cut rocks open. What happens when you break an agate open instead of cut it xx

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

The pastels of Imperial Jasper, they are as bad as trying to predict the inside of agates. They tumble as nice as they polish.

[@kerolsferreira1157]

Finally i got the name of this beauty! I have a bunch of them, all almost perfect circles ❤ i love your content 🇧🇷

[@oldageisdumb]

2:15 Can you polish that one piece on the outside so it’s double sided polished? It might be more stunning on the outside than in the middle. If that makes any sense…. Lol

[@kathywhite4547]

Some of them look like abstract paintings

[@AgateDad]

Absolutely!

[@viktorshevtsov3749]

Спасибо, за видео очень хорошие камни.Теперь я знаю, что Джаспер, это по - русски - яшма .

[@youcancreatetoo6058]

Oh my gosh! I want to wire wrap a tree of life on that third cut! I looked on etsy but didn't see these there. Am I too late?

[@patriciastanke2264]

A lot of interesting comments. I think the teal one looks like being in a cave looking out at Lake Superior. Like your skeleton in the corner 😊

[@carolpountney7627]

The sun setting in a sand storm in the Mojave Desert❤

[@rachelwilliams4423]

1440 cut that baby the other way i think the blue might be traveling the other direction love ur videos

[@marymacdonald805]

My favorite is the one you said was the hardest to polish. It looks like a Japanese painting.

[@tenbroeckpatterson396]

What kind of saw do you use? Can I use a Dremel saw with water to cut smaller rocks?

[@grandparocky]

I love working with Jasper!

[@calebdillman8462]

Found these in SE Wisconsin. Look great polished.

[@Sookielein]

My favorit is the greenish one with the light circle in the middle. Looks like the moon.

[@lisapenner-dang]

Is there a safer way to cut them? I would be scared to lose a finger. Are there saws that have guards ?

[@papiojenjones1585]

Nature's jaw breakers!

[@lindamorrison9755]

Love the one that holds the water and looks Like a full moon and the lines well it is just beautiful.

[@eugeniaduarte6280]

Agate Dad…thank you. I love agates, amethysts, crystals, jasper and wear it in jewelry. Have been collecting for a long time. My husband and I watch you working. Thanks

[@annaleggans9891]

I have found àlot of these in southern Illinois along the Mississippi River

[@coryclark7706]

the last one you cut looks an awful lot like the Black Mesa logo from the game Half Life

[@nicol3cart3r]

So I have cut a ton of this and had no idea it was called this. I have found a lot of this in eastern Oregon.

[@gemstonejudy5900]

Such unpredictable colors! What a surprise!

[@susanmiller6023]

Why can't we watch you polish the gems? That's the best part.

[@meg2831]

Jasper is my favorite kind of rock

[@annekupillasfineart]

I really like these! They’re different, almost like modern art

[@janemay7181]

Just beautiful 🤩

[@sherrybriggs5459]

Love the last one blue

Sandstone arch over the sea in Apollo Bay, Australia ❤

[@cindyrebstock2334]

They are each quite unique in their own way. I would have to say I really like the greenish one. It kinda reminds me of an oriental painting! The royal imperial jasper is not one of my favorite cuttings. They did look better once they were polished. Sorry it was such a pain polishing them. Hope your hands get a good rest!

[@pamelanay2195]

I love all of them

[@liszafricaminmin2898]

Son todas preciosas,no sabría cual elegir.

[@OntarioAtOrion]

That fracture on the third one makes it look like a cross on it!

[@AgateDad]

Love it!

[@OntarioAtOrion]

Its gorgeous the way its like a perfect circle like the sun or the full moon even right behind that cross shape! ​@AgateDad
