Bro please make a video on how to differ between dyed agates and natural agates

[@AgateDad]

I've never heard of dyed agates..I just googled it and it seems like companies or shops dye agates to produce a better color..so dyed agates aren't natural agates, and you wont find dyed agates in any rock shop that has class. Natural agates vary in their banding and color, all the agates found on my channel are 100% natural beauties:)

[@HamZa-ew1mr]

@@AgateDad thanks for your reply bro.😍 does all the agates have banding effect? Or some agates just look like frozen ice ?

I liked that roundish, two-toned rock you tossed back. That is the kind of rock that is good to for contrast when displaying agates or? The perfect day, with the sun shining through the glowing agates. A good way to display them in your home, is to take a tall, skinny vase and lace a small string of tiny white holiday lights, through the agates. They would glow for sure.

@@AgateDad the way is to watch for the big basalt boulders that are filled with goodies, they haven't let go of their nodules yet and so sometimes they are big. I usually inspect the outside and roll them over to be sure. Basalt almost always carries agates and opal.

When I was still able, I used to pick translucent stones like these, on a beach, on an island in the Bay of Fundy. Twice a day the tide would recreate the beach as if it had never been touched. I gathered stones there for over 30 years and there were as many the last time as there was on the first trip. A suggestion for ya. Carry a laser pointer to check stones for translucency. Try it at home on some of the stones you already have and you'll see why I suggest this. Happy hunting.

We in Tasmania have white sand at our beach but I think I would rather have stones and gemstones on my beach like this. Wow some really beautiful pieces what do you do with your finds? Do you polish or cut or just collect

[@AgateDad]

I do polish them with a dremel and hand polish with wet sandpaper

I’m sure glad your post popped up in my feed, I come to duluth quite often, my wife’s hometown, I’m a hound from Southern Illinois and i deal southern rock to “Beaver Bay Agate Shop” and would be stoked to get with you and do a hunt next time i come up. Im hard up to find some yooper lites on the north shore! I refuse to believe they only exist on the south shore!! Keep it up hound dog!!

[@AgateDad]

I know for a fact they exist on the north shore, I've been informed from someone who's found them, much harder than UP but they're there!

Agate Dad I will be making a trip up at the end of may for a wedding, we should get together and you can teach me a thing or 2 about north rocks.

[@AgateDad]

Still going to that wedding??

My father and I were never particularly close. He was into hunting and fishing and football and me...not so much. I do think, if I had known my love for rockhounding back then, I could have gotten him interested since I think he just enjoyed being outdoors. Maybe it could have improved out relationship to have something in common. My point being, it's a great activity to share with your kids, even if you arent a HUGE fan, the kids likely will be.

I bet you two would have connected with it for sure, i look forward to the times rockhounding with my son and other future kiddos, my little guy already is a rock nut and he's 1 ¹/²!
