Let's break out our 10" saw and our thick sintered blade to slice through 4 BIG and chunky agates! These agates are Lake Superior agates and are Daniels. I am cutting them for him and I was over the moon about how amazing they turned out!! A group of studs!

I never tire of watching you cut agates open and hearing your reaction. #2 was my favorite.

[@AgateDad]

I’m glad! It’s so fun!

[@trevoreverybody]

I’m a little bit of a snob and always take the unique ones over anything red and “basic” but I mean,..the big one just looks perfect! I’m right there with ya! So torn!

[@chrislarson4328]

You said UFF DA and it made my day.

[@AgateDad]

I’m glad 🙌

NORWEGIAN

[@catherines107]

My father-in-law use to say that all the time.

[@E.o.t.4637]

OMG the white one is AmaZING?! Why? It has bands! and it's kind of rare to find white with bands because it's quartz!!! Yes ALL are truly beautiful but I'm sticking with the white bands! Go for the underdog!😁

[@bigmonkey4444]

When u opened the 3rd agate & said wooohooo 😂 I love it

[@AgateDad]

Such a good one!

[@graemero5532]

The blue in 4 was awesome.

[@AgateDad]

It really was

[@EsmereldaPea]

You've gained a new fan! Just introduced my 5-year old grandniece to your channel. ❤

[@camsvideocollections9766]

The 3rd cut with the limonite staining, soo cool.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Beautifull. I liked the third one best. It has lovely colours & a stylish curve.

[@elizabethlewis3509]

#1 was my favorite.

[@susanselko-millman4889]

Definitely the second one very unique

[@AgateDad]

🙌

[@janettetippetts7942]

All of these are beautiful in their own right. Asking which we like the best is like asking which of our children is our favorite! All of them because they each bring their own kind of beauty and personality into this world. Thanks for sharing this cut video!

[@LissaRae23]

6:59 the one on the left almost looks like an agate rendition of the state of MN 😊

[@donnaherzig8106]

They are all beautiful but I have to say, #2 was amazing. I was first introduced to the world of crystals rocks and minerals when I was young when I met a geologist named John Patnoid ( not sure if spelling) . He gave me a box of different finds and I was hooked. When he was in country, his home base was next door to my dad's work. I became a pesky visitor and he became a very patient teacher. Very fond memories and a lifelong love of all things crystal, agate, geode you name it. TY Mr. Patnode

[@henrietteterpstra5213]

Nice story, I love when people tell their personal stories, always amazing. One little event can change your whole life. You were lucky

[@henrietteterpstra5213]

By the way, I love stones too, a bit different, I became an archeologist ! Now retired and already for a few years I make jewelry with agate. Such beautiful stones!

[@lauriejerome9179]

Oh my gosh!!! That second one is super crazy. Looks like a Buddha inside! They are all very cool.

[@justjulee9135]

Number 2 was my favorite! They really were all beautiful! I think these cutting videos are my favorite out of all videos because I love seeing the inside beauty!

[@patriciamckean4186]

Whoa!!!! Love that saw blade. 10 thick...

[@profesraelise]

So cool! It's a surprise inside every one!

[@AgateDad]

Sure is!

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

Secon one is GORGEOUS!!!

[@victorenache3927]

Number 3 was the best one for me , soo many colours

[@abbyh8678]

The 2nd one.....WOW

[@cicelybega5419]

These will be so beautiful polished! It’s so interesting to see all the banding and details and they are each unique! Love these!

[@harlydynamike49]

Agate Dad I stated watching your videos last year and you have put a passion in me to come up to the North Shore to find an agate. Just to let you know that I am 74 years young and this is a bucket list trip for me. We have already rented our cabin outside of Duluth. So it will be a pretty far trip from Southern Alabama’s coastal area. Hope to see you out looking for Agates somewhere. Keep up the videos, learning a lot from them.

[@susiesmith6174]

Hi, I agree with you on their ranking!!! The third beauty you showed us makes me think of "lacy" goodness!!! It's so unique!!! So happy you share your surprises with all of us!!! Take care. 😊

[@Max-nf2jo]

Am so excited!!!

[@AgateDad]

You’re going to love them!

[@lvj1477]

I think the dark one is pretty cool! Hope you get some rest buddy

[@joeljeffery8704]

This is the third time I have watched this video. Every time someone has been over I have to have them watch it. Love watching their reactions. Thanks for sharing. Peace be with you and be safe.

[@donnakurka5419]

The second agate was my favorite

[@NickAcker2019]

Oh my Lanta! I’m fairly new at this hobby, but wow. I have such an appreciation for it. I live in Nova Scotia, got turned onto this because of the Rockhounding Life boys. Love seeing rocks from all over the world and how each region has it’s own signature beauty! Those agates are really beautiful.

[@MrTurtleMontana]

Regarding the limonite stained agate (#3)... What really blew me away were the individual (and completely separated) quartz clusters between each of the fortification bands! That is a very unique feature, which I have never seen before! Just imagine the geological conditions that had to exist in order for that to occur. Mind-blowing! That's one heck of a find, and some pretty good cuttin' skillz! 😉 Many thanks to Daniel for sharing them with you ... and many thanks to you for sharing them with us!

[@amandadrinsinger6121]

Right?! I loved this one for all those reasons too

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

For some reason, watching this made my brain start singing "Feelin' Groovy"🌻🐝🎶

[@sheilafranklin186]

Wow!! Such amazing agates!

[@nuggetwagon]

I love this Man!

[@markgubbins1958]

That 3rd one with the jagged lines is my favorite. Wonderful video !!!! Thanks !!!!!

[@8mom8son8]

I think it was #2. To me looked like fire and ice on the inside. Fabulous cuts! Thank you

[@nheilbryanperocho7262]

O my god its so beautiful agates

[@ruhsexperimentsgliesperimentid]

Very nice stones! The first one, if you cut it in slices, it can became a nice "glass" for a lamp

[@darrinwilliams5715]

They are all boulders to be sure. You cut that second one sooo good. Right on Taylor.😎

[@AgateDad]

Feels good to get a good cut!

[@abbyh8678]

I LOVE THIS!!!

[@danzaremba6500]

That red one!!! Love em all, but the red one! 🤘

My favourite was the one that looks like a fire burning in a cave 😍

The second & third one you cut are my favorite. All are pretty in their own way.

💖 wow .. just wow 😍

[@bjwalters8385]

That second one looks like it's glowing! Great video man.

[@AgateDad]

It’s a beauty for sure!

[@lilalightandlove421]

Cool beans!

[@largent45]

Those were definitely beautiful! And Wow! You called them all. The ones with more agate took a lot longer to cut. But so worth it! Thanks for sharing!

[@AgateDad]

Absolutely, that’s probably why it took so long. The first one was so much quartz inside so it went quicker.

[@dragonback6075]

Ooooh wow, simply beautiful 🙂🙃🙂

[@dragonback6075]

Thank you thank you thank you for sharing these discoveries with us. Mother nature huh, truly an artist without match 🙂

Hello Agate Dad. I'm a new subscriber. Thanks for all the information you put out there.

[@AgateDad]

Thanks for joining!!

[@masterflickmusic8010]

the second one was my favorite

[@natascharank5604]

Just noted when I saw the stones in the water at the end of the video that the black and the white one are a wonderful pair placed next to each other, like they complement each other. And I really could not say who is my favorite. They are all great in their own way. The white one makes me feel like it clears my mind with its milky depths. It`s kind of relaxing not being able to focus on anything in particular. The black one is powerful of course, also very structured. Helps to focus and center. The big guy appears to have a whole story going on in it, would place it on my desk and see if in time from the corner of my eyes I could see some beings taking on form in there. Good for meditation. The last one, that reminds a little bit of a drop, could support anything that has to do with flow. Like a piece of music. I would want it around in a music room or any room used for creative work. Thank you for your video, I have found it very inspiring 🌸

AHHHHHH....I AM GOIN CRAAAAAZY WATCHING THIS FROM NH....I AM SOOOOO COMING TO YOUR STATE❤️

[@erikvanhooff8913]

goodbye. that was another great video. thank you. I think the blue stone with white agate bands is the most beautiful. but they are all beautiful. i like agate. Greetings Erik from Belgium.

I've a big banded agate- would love to see how it looks cut!

Thanks for a fun cuttin' good time! #2 is our favorite, then #4.

[@stephaniephelps3539]

Thanks for telling us how long they took to cut. I got my 10" saw last month and I thought I was doing something wrong because the agates took FOREVER to cut....nope it's just the nature of the beast! #2 was glorious!

[@rockhoundingindia]

these are lovely

[@adamsshaws9417]

Thanks man some great gems you got there

[@AgateDad]

Such beauties!

[@adamsshaws9417]

@AgateDad I'm up here in the PNW and we got some great agates, jasper and more definitely some differences between the two regions

[@amandadrinsinger6121]

I actually really liked the 1st & 3rd. I like those clear whitish ones with the pretty spotted husks. I just have to say, yeah LSAs are pretty but I am so grateful you are a worldly agate lover. The world is filled with amazing agates and thanks for sharing those experiences

[@sandmaker]

You never know what you are going to get untill you cut, cut, cut it open. I liked them all but the second one the best. Keep having fun🤗 😷⚒

[@Preciousstones-hakim]

A wonderful thing 💚😍

I think number 2 was my favourite. It would be cool to see a close up of what is going on in there.
