The are definitely more beautiful dry then wet. I get cleaning them.. but dry in sunlight is amazing!

“Life is like a box of geodes. You never know what you’re gonna get.” What a thoroughly cool video! Not gonna lie, when I saw you posted a video I said, “Yay! New Agate Dad!” Thanks Taylor!

Ok. You got me on both the leaf pile and the gee ode! Yes I know it's geode! Always fun to investigate them! Thanks!

Haha glad I got you 😊

Next video: Cutting gheeodes and a-GAH-teys 😄 I totally lol’d at ‘sorry, had a big lunch’ 😂🤣 Just one question: with Noah and Bentley around to score major cuteness points, why are we watching YOU jump in the leaf pile? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Give your fans (or at least this one) what they’re asking for: More toddler and dog moments! 🙏

Haha I will try! They are truly the stars so I should include them more!

I just recently found your channel. I love geodesic but nit as much as lace agate. I can't walk far anymore so I just live your drive and enthusiasm. Live watching your show!!!

So glad you enjoyed those geodes brother! The product Iron Out is great for making these pieces look crystal clear on the inside! Thanks for the shout out \../

Of course and I will have to try that, lots of people recommend that so I'll have to!

[@AlexanderBeardman]

@@AgateDad yeah dude, I can email you my methods and advice on getting the best results with it. Also, that floating crystal might be Gypsum actually, I have found both

Too funny! Awesome episode. Love the geodes. Thanks for making me laugh 😆 had an accident last week, been suffering funky pains on my pelvic area, can’t stand over 10 minutes...all I can think of is I may not be able to rockhound anymore...no more climbing cliffs in Jade cove Big Sur, my favorite spot in the world... but thanks to you, Rookie Rockhounding, and he rest of the community, keeping my passion alive 💕 thank you 🙏🏼

[@AgateDad]

😂

[@tylercannon6906]

Wow! Those are some spectacular geodes my friend!! I’m sorry that you got 2 solid guys.. haha 😅 they do take a great polish though! Definitely see some calcite and barite in there as secondaries. You’ll have to look a bit closer at some, ive recently discovered, and proven, that there’s hyalite (water opal) in some of these geodes! Shoot me an email with some photos and I can do some identifying for ya bro! 💪🏻 thanks again for the shoutout! Cannon’s collectibles appreciates it 👍🏻so happy you enjoyed what was sent!

[@tylercannon6906]

And I’ve got a few methods for getting those guys clean as well, so please let me know!

What a beautiful Fall day; I thought you were going to jump in the leaves. I laughed out loud when you popped up! Beautiful geodes; thanks Taylor for the great video. Thursday is the best day of the week!

[@AgateDad]

Gosh your kind 😊 thank you!

[@kimbain4368]

I think geodes are one of wonders of nature. So plain and unassuming on the outside, cut it open and it's "POW! How do you like me now?" One question, what causes the insides to be such different colors from one another? Is it where they are found and what minerals are around them? Will you be slabbing any of these? Those friends who sent all these are keepers, for sure. Thanks for sharing these beauties.

[@AgateDad]

I'm not too sure actually, still learning about them 😁

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

Got into time travelling and watching the videos you released before i discovered you - glad i saw what i knew to be true - not to smash or crack open geodes no matter how much i want to know what is within - cutting preserves much more !

Hi again TAYLOR Lots of fall fun in this one! Beautiful leaves and i go right to the fragrances of fall too! The geodes are like Christmas presents cause we don't know what's in them til they're opened! That last big one was soo cool! Would be the best desk piece polished and leveled to sit! Must say to hear the deep joy and appreciation in your words and excitement in your voice about rocks is just plain wonderful because I can tell how genuine and real you are just like the rocks you so enjoy! Also you really do have a fun subtle sense of humor that is smile worthy and a nice to hear! Thx as always for sharing. Hope you and your family stay healthy...

You are too kind ❤ thank you 😊 its a deep passion for all of this and I have a blast putting pieces of myself into each video!

[@questingforquartz3407]

Wow! That was so much fun to watch! Would the honey colored crystals be considered citrine? I understand citrine to be heat treated amethyst/quartz but get a little confused on the difference between that and mineral seepage (ie copper, iron) causing the color. Either way, they are all just beautiful!

[@margiebrown7436]

I think I would have to name that last geode “peanut butter and jelly” 😊
