Cutting GALAXY Stones // Amethyst & Agates INSIDE!

Let's cut open a bunch of GALAXY STONES! I use my 10" lapidary saw to cut open these amazing stones, which are host rocks for Lake Superior agates, quartz vugs - including amethyst, and many more minerals. These host rocks are amygdaloidal basalts and rhyolites and were found by me along the North Shore of Lake Superior. I had a ton of fun cutting open all these galaxy stones and we found some great treasures inside them, especially the very last one, which ended up being the king of the galaxy stones for this batch!

I don’t get the appeal of galaxy stone but his excitement for them makes me excited for them too.

[@deniseview4253]

The big rock is the best. Galaxy stone is so cool!

[@virginiarocks]

11:30. That big galaxy stone does look galactic- dark skies, ringworlds, nebulas, maybe a wormhole or two. Just stunning!

[@linda5120]

I Know I'm a little late but that one rock is absolutely gorgeous 👍😃

[@AgateDad]

Thank you!

[@gregderksen1996]

Great call by the wife.(they’re all great calls right!?). Galaxy onesie, This is the way! There were some beauts in there, but that last big stone stole the show. Oh and Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians, and a Happy Independence Day to my neighbours to the south. Play safe with those fireworks!!!

[@GeodeCrackerCollector]

Love me some galaxy stone!! Great stuff man! And the galaxy onesie is epic 😎🔥

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

Such a fun video. So much hidden in those stones. Slicing them up is a lot of fun. Great slides how at the end. Love the onezie too, quite often I'm still in my pink dressing gown when I'm washing out barrels 😂😂😂😂

[@donnaboyle669]

Enjoyed, loved the photographs,

[@carmenevans7651]

Pre 4th fireworks. Doesn't get any better than that. Great video.

[@AgateDad]

🤘🤘

[@kylenobes1]

We are just wrapping up a 2 week trip to the north shore and used your videos to help find so many agates (for the first time). Also grabbed some cool stones to bring back to Iowa and cut open with my tile saw! Thanks!

[@japhyryder66]

OMG Taylor! They were all cool but that big one was spectacular! I oohed and aahed a LOT! And can we talk about that onesie? Love it! Keep these videos coming. They bring me so much joy. Happy 4th to you and your family! ❤️🎇🤍🎆💙

[@largent45]

Ok. Its official. You are a goofball! I love the onesie! I havent figured out yet, why it zips all the way up! But its super cute! And the galaxy stone, was pretty meh, until the last one! Wow its beautiful! So many galaxy's in that stone and really cool! And because you got so many slices from it, you can polish both sides of each slab! really cool. The amethyst one was really cool too. Thanks for sharing!

[@terrynew2056]

[@mskandy83]

Thanks for doing this video - I didn't know what types of rocks were those and find them quite a bit. They are so cool looking and love the exposed center.

[@Cossychick]

[@AgateDad]

[@keithcunningham7925]

[@nancygaxiola5412]

[@tashacano3324]

[@8mom8son8]

[@cynergy4]

Stellar video, pun intended! The nebulas within the stone are mind blowing!

[@AgateDad]

[@cassandralyris4918]

"Amygdaloidal Basalt" is fun to say, and fun to look at. Nice specimens! 🤩

[@reportedstolen3603]

Beautiful rocks per usual😋.. happy 4th of July

[@heatherlawrence1896]

[@frylockruh2134]

Awesome rocks. I just grabbed some of these off a beach 😂 my first trip to the north shore this year can’t wait to hunt this weekend.

[@Ken_G.]

Great stuff, amazing to see what nature made a long time ago in a galaxy stone far, far away.

[@AgateDad]

Love it 🙌

[@Ken_G.]

@@AgateDad Meh, it was low hanging fruit, not my best. It felt kind of forced.😁

[@berjo77]

I haven’t cut open any galaxy stones, yet, but I’ve learned two things. First, look harder for galaxy stones, and I need to get a thinner blade. Mine was cheap (on sale) so I just tried it as it was my first, but now I want to do better. Great work, thanks for your efforts, teaching and sharing your beautiful results!

[@gracewashburn8276]

Oh those look beautiful I’ve looked around the waters near me and not come across any Galaxy stones I would love to get a piece of my collection it would look awesome

[@aliencat11]

I love these rocks! They are so amazing. Thanks for sharing and take care!

[@stvennelson7792]

Hey great video. Could you throw a timer up for how long it takes to cut.

[@AgateDad]

Biggest one at the end to slab the entire thing took 3 minutes, everything else less than that 🙌

[@glenn5903]

Wow! All of them !!!❤😂😂😂

[@HansBeaz]

Oh man I'm obsessed with that big one!! So beautiful! Can't wait to see what you do with all the slabs.

[@ethynbennett8689]

The pause and laugh at 5:30 had me dying😭He had to double take that rock

[@donnalantz7981]

LOL love the onezy. That last one you cut was awesome. I think I have a fee of those around here too. Just need to find them.

[@justjulee9135]

I love galaxy stones! They are all so unique! The galaxy suit was pretty rad lol 😆! Thanks for a great video! Have a wonderful weekend!

[@CelticDruidess1]

I love your galaxy onezie

[@antoniabonatti7961]

The crowd is big here too

[@grammanancy7425]

Happy Agate Dad Friday and Happy Fourth of July! You KNOW I look forward to your videos EVERY week! :)

[@MNpicker]

Awesome slabs man!! I'm getting new kitchen cabinets soon.. I wonder if they can install Galaxy stone countertops😃😁

[@AgateDad]

[@BushtreckBoosh]

"So up here on my rock display shelf is.." Me: "DARTH VADER!" " a piece of cut and polished galaxy stone." Me: "Oh...yeah.. that."

[@AgateDad]

[@kimfrommn7162]

Great Job!! Enjoyed the Video!!! I hope you and your family have a Great July 4th Weekend!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼

[@maryberg6322]

You are too cute in your onesie!🤣

[@AgateDad]

😊 thank you

[@Deadpan_Stan]

The one with the eyes is especially cool. Maybe could help someone more educated than I learn how the eyes form

[@patriciamckean4186]

That galaxy stone is the best I've seen. What is the host rock.

[@AgateDad]

Usually basalt

[@michellestenton6430]

Lovin the onesie! OMG can a Friday morning get any better….you cutting galaxy stones. They are so beautiful and the last one you cut… WOW. Great video Taylor. Congrats on the 40K subscribers. Have a safe and fun July 4th. It’s Canada Day here for us Canucks.

[@liszafricaminmin2898]

Son todas increíblemente bonitas.

[@demothesis02]

Your neighbors: “what in the Sam hell is he doing out there in a onesie?” 😂😂

[@AliceinMineralLand]

If I could give you an extra thumbs up for the onesie I would....:)

[@AgateDad]

🤣

[@Reet64]

Your wife’s suggestion that you wear the onesie made for some lols over here. Great results from the cuts. The one that you said was “just a mess” looked interesting. What was that?

[@IndusRiverRock]

6:06 beautiful

[@antoniabonatti7961]

Fico a imaginar um cabochão ...Lindo demais!

[@kramerspartans]

I have always loved amygdaloidal basalt its always so fascinating to cut, like how did nature make these beatuies so small? Anyways love the video as always

[@minerjohnny41]

At 11:30 under the orange agate you point at is a perfect white face with blueish hair .... my favorite inclusion so far

[@victoriabryer4710]

I'm so jealous when I watch your videos, my lake and the part I have excess to that is in fair walking distance. Is a small part of lake Ontario. (Canadian side) I did some research and we have no agates around here 😡😢. Idk about Galaxy stones. I want to start hounding this summer

[@carlyloves2]

me thinking i can pick up a stone in my backyard thinking I will find this inside...😂

[@IamJ007]

soak them blades in thinner overnight and clean that paint off before you cut.

[@HoboMinerals]

That onesie is the truth!! Where do I get one??
