Those agates were out of this world. It's 200am out here in Tacoma, Washington. Loved your video. It was to see them. Thank you. For sharing those great banded agates. 😊

[@MelzieZiemendorf-lm7ld]

Thanks Tom,you guys made my day

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I got excited like a little kid watching this video! Thank you for sharing with me the joy of cutting agates.

[@KnittedSister]

This was so exciting. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. 👍 My favourite was the second to last one, it reminds me of the blue mussels we get all along the coast here in Denmark. Don't know if you have those across the pond, but they have a little bit of white nacre on the inside, and beautiful bands of blue radiating out. The quarts and the agate bands along with the shape of the stone looked so much like them.

[@peggyallen6084]

If I weren’t 83years old with arthritic fingers I’d go out and buy myself one of those lapidary saws and learn to use it. You have certainly inspired me with all your beautiful and exciting agates and other gem stones. Thank you again!

[@coastalcutie2000]

Thank you Tom for allowing us all to share your treasures as they emerged!

[@mikesullivan1875]

I'm 66 yrs. Old I've been rockhounding most my life, now I'm retired now and have more time for hounding, I would love to cut some geods open, and I have a few rocks that are crying to be cut open. This saw would make my ROCKS & I HAPPY. Kathy Sullivan 😊

[@NickAcker2019]

Stunning finds Tom! Having Taylor cut them for you for all of us to see was such a wonderful gesture. Many thanks to both of you!!

[@ellieobrien4125]

I can watch for hours. AND I LOVE THE MUSIC

[@largent45]

Such pretty and unique agates! I dont think ive ever seen so many different agates! They had some of the most unique patterns on the insides, ice ever seen on a LSA! I mean the mossy ones were just as gorgeous as the bands! Thank you Tom, for letting us have this opportunity, to see them first cut open! They were just gorgeous! Awesome job Taylor!

[@patriciamckean4186]

Thanks to Tom for sharing these beautiful rocks and thanks Agate Dad to revealing the beautiful moss, quartz pockets and bands.

[@bettyswinford5886]

How beautiful! Thank you Tom.

[@jg5755]

My "wow"s kept getting louder and longer and with more exclamation marks each time you revealed a new cut! 🤣 They are incredible stones and it's so much fun that you (and Tom) shared them with us.

[@AgateDad]

It did seem to just keep getting better 😂

[@tommyatkins440]

Thanks Tom for letting him show us all the beauty inside and out of those. I absolutely love agate and the amazing banding some have. ❤

[@TruthWillSetYouFree832]

Congrats, Tom! Those are really gorgeous agates! Thanks to you and Taylor for sharing them with us. Taylor, as you mentioned in the chat about doing a video on how you decide how to cut these, I second wanting to know about that. I've been wondering and I think you'd be able to share a lot of great insight into making the best choices.

[@lvj1477]

[@KDbbasm]

SO MUCH FUN! Thank you for having this channel so we can see inside these fabulous fun jewels created by God for our viewing pleasure. What a thrill. Thank you Tom, enjoy your treasures!

[@ITubetc]

We in inherited a bushel basket full of agates (L.S.A., Thunder eggs, moss) I like seeing you cut them open, maybe a video on more explanation on where and why you made/make a cut in what direction. Thanks for all your videos - long time subscriber.

[@kessnelson3489]

First time viewer and now subscriber! I think the best part of your videos is your outstanding and enthusiastic response to every agate you open! It's great and absolutely noticeable that it is heartfelt. I react the same way when I find one of mother nature's beauties. Agates and geodes just leave me in total state of awe. To know that some of these rocks and gems have been on the earth for hundreds and thousands of years...blows my mind! I live in Oregon and frequent the rivers of Washington. I take every opportunity I can to do a little hounding. Thanks for sharing yours and others finds!

[@AgateDad]

Welcome!!

[@janvafa9959]

Wow! Thanks Tom for sending these over and thanks to you for cutting them and sharing with us!

[@AgateDad]

🙌

[@Polskisnovski]

Great findings and cuts! Thank you Tom for providing!

[@doriWyo]

Nice job! Congrats to both of you.

[@lizzymoore54]

🎺Toot your own horn, Agate Dad! 🎺 You are excellent in determining the direction of the cut. This is why people send you their agates. If they are anything like me, I’m terrified on how to determine a cut but you my friend, understand the banding and how it runs, so therefore you are the go to guy to cut folks precious finds. 🎺TOOT, TOOT! 🎺☺️

[@mariehillard1742]

I love it when you cut stone. I enjoy it immensely! Thank you from the land down under.

[@maryannkom299]

Thanks Tom! And thanks Agate Dad for another great cutting video!

[@peggyallen6084]

Thank you sooo much for sending Taylor those amazing agates to cut open!

[@SissyMchill1]

Yay I found a live video of yours. Or at least it’s telling me you’re live. So far very nice. I’d love to be able to find incredible rocks. I’ve always collected rocks. But never knew their inside beauty. So just learning. So far, from what I’ve seen Arizona don’t have this beautiful of Agates.

I love plume agate it's so beautiful. I have a large pendant of plume agate it's stunning.

[@gregorydascher3308]

I search near the Mississippi River valley and the agates here are typically 1oz or less. Usually with some brilliant reds but I’ve never cut one

[@Mcdaffodilhill]

The gift of laughter, priceless.

[@AgateDad]

Bingo!!

[@ravynalexander1895]

These are beautiful 😍 Thanks Tom for sharing!! If I can't cut my agates, do you recommend tumbling them or finding someone to cut them?

[@AgateDad]

I'd say do whatever you want to do!
