Cutting Geodes that are FULL of crystals open on my saw!

[@AgateDad]

Thanks for watching! Have a great week!

[@Timeforstones]

You too my Friend🙂👍 Greetings from Germany

[@tambalini1160]

I just recieved my Ammonite's today, they are beautiful. Way heavier than I expected too. Also, just wanted to thank you for the little extra something, It was also beautiful. Looking forward to another purchase in the future!!!

[@marymacdonald805]

Every video you do cutting geodes reminds me of my dad and how he opened dozens of rocks and clay balls for me because I was convinced they held treasures. What they ultimately held was lovely memories of my dad encouraging my love of rocks. Thanks. 💕

[@sandimccarthy2067]

Well, that IS a treasure! ❤❤

[@HansBeaz]

I can't decide what I love more, the geodes or your excitement when opening them. I was hollering along with you! Great vid man.

Agate Dad, I hope you are Santa for some deserving charity...OR do voice-overs for films! GREAT JOYFUL LAUGH!

[@wrenegade1957]

So I really didn't know there were so many stone fanatics, like me! Colleges sell off excess geo specimens for folks who want to learn about different minerals/stones, so I have some of those. One year, for my brother's birthday, I ordered a sack of geodes. He opened it and laughed, "Glad it's not a sack of coal, but WHY would you...?" I led him and our family out to the (concrete!) balcony where I laid out 4 thick towels to wrap the stones completely. One by one he cracked them open with a big hammer, and they were all amazing--not a dud in the bunch! I watch you carefully using your saw, and you have won my weekly internet AGAINST ALL ODDS--HERO! I will live vicariously thru all of you confident owners of power tools🎉 I really like all my fingers, and despise the ER.

[@tonib.3016]

From what I've heard the saw he uses isn't really capable of cutting your finger like saws meant for wood. Don't quote me on that tho but I'm pretty sure that's correct.

[@delilahmartinez1918]

So cool!...opening a very old present from the earth😍! Love it❤️🎁...your laugh is awesome😄

[@AgateDad]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Belokhann]

As a European, when you said "It's 30 degrees in my garage, i'm freezing" my brain did not compute immediately !

[@robertmills6210]

That's about -1 C for you

[@meg2831]

[@michellestenton6430]

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Your excitement is so contagious! The last geod you cut is GORGEOUS! I would definitely keep that one! 😊

[@patriciamckean4186]

The element of surprise is absolutely part of lapidary cutting. Geodes and thundereggs are some of my favorites.

[@AgateDad]

So fun!

[@janettetippetts7942]

Those are all so beautiful - What a treasure trove!!! So Fun!

[@elizabethwamsley7953]

Beautiful! I used to go geode and fossil hunting in dry creeks around Bloomington,In. ( went to IU there) Anyway ,some houses had geode fences. Thanks for bringing back memories!

[@cicelybega5419]

Love the black band around the edge on those - they are beauties!

[@boldenmywords]

I think the non-geode is a geode. I think you just cutting perfectly between the pockets.

[@lisalarouge6309]

I would definitely give it another cut.

[@jhinz84]

My daughters and I love watching your videos! Thank you for the great content!

[@traceypurdue94]

Your excitement is infectious. The 4th geode is my favorite, but they are all beautiful. I've learned so much from you . Thanks, and keep on rocking!

[@lizlaine9319]

Absolutely gorgeous geodes! ❤

[@Linda-nl6co]

Geodes have always facinated me. Thanks for sharing them.

[@kellyvb333]

I love the Trancas, but you should also check out Las Choyas otherwise known as coconut geodes!! Also very beautiful like the Trancas!

[@cindyrebstock2334]

Wow, some beauties today. I love your excitement, how can we not….its contagious! Good point about the top and bottom of a geode…..

[@janehelbert7551]

My favorite cut one was the first one you cut. In your collection was the first one!

[@marygriffith6800]

They’re all gorgeous

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

WOW, CRYSTALS GORGEOUS!!!

[@UnmaskingTheMachine]

Awesome pieces. The intro was cool too

[@AgateDad]

Thanks 😊

[@sunnyscott4876]

Our local gem and mineral club sells geodes by the ounce every year as a fund raiser for the club. You choose the ones you want. They will cut them on a lapidary saw for you. It's super popular.

[@KathyNichols-ih4fe]

I’d be happy with the miniature crystals you dump out! I love seeing all you cut open!

[@trisha1562]

I just gotta say I love how excited you are about the rocks! i love the geeking out!

[@susansullivan5070]

Taking about differences in the halves of geodes, I bought some geodes in SD and had them sliced open. One of them was solid but had quartz in the lower half. One side looked like a buffalo (appropriate for the area). The other half looked like the “Kilroy was here” character, It was hilarious. Love your videos and especially being able to watch your excitement when you cut these agates open. Everyone should enjoy their work that much. Good Bless👍❤️

[@DrJ4712]

Thoroughly enjoy the reveals and I am cheering along with you! Fun, fun, fun! Please continue❤😊

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

Yes, very fun!!!

[@josephthibodeaux1010]

Hey Taylor, it’s Joey again I’m B.J.s brother, I just want you to know that I’m still enjoying your show . You definitely keep me smiling, love the excitement, it’s contagious here.

[@dawnbrown9898]

Those are gorgeous!!!❤❤

[@alisoncleeton877]

Your channel makes me want to get the year and spice open every rock or stone in my garden!!

[@kittyr6534]

With the different sized crystals in the 2 halves of the same geode: the crystal size depends on the speed the crystals are formed, which depends on temperature. If I remember it right, the longer the rock takes to cool, the bigger the crystals. So maybe the side with the smaller crystals cooled quicker, e.g. if it was exposed to the air while the other side was in the ground so more insulated. Something like that.

[@SurprisedFlyingSaucer-ck9en]

awesome !!!

[@peggyallen6084]

Well put!! Your excitement is contagious!!

[@DanceBeforeTheStorm_]

Awesome indeed....it's like having your own little magical crystal cave all to yourself

[@peggyallen6084]

Incredible!!! So very beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us!!!

[@homeiswheremycatsare]

That 1 that you said is a crystal finger. It looks like the lochness monster swimming in the water.

[@dbqi_ipdb133]

[@maryseaman312]

[@maryseaman312]

I really like grab bags ... and, cutting rocks is much the same prospect.

[@mria621]

[@AgateDad]

You’re going to love them!

[@nikkibranigan7888]

It’s magic!!

[@combatmedicmom]

[@combatmedicmom]

I love Geodes! These are awesome!

[@DJBou0407]

I've watch 3 so far and hit subscribe on the very first one. Beautiful gems.

[@AgateDad]

Thanks!

[@sherrybriggs5459]

Gorgeous all of them

[@grangrampa832]

Love geodes ❤

[@kaysjostrom483]

I want to do this!!!! You are my new favorite channel!

[@AgateDad]

❤️❤️❤️

[@kaysjostrom483]

I have a few rocks I'd love to cut. I just watch the video with the llama, do you still cut rocks for people?

[@homeiswheremycatsare]

I think the one that you say isn't a geode. I think there is one in there. You just have to slice off a knither slice off of there on each side and I bet you, it's a double geode side by side like that instead of top and bottom. It's side by side if that makes sense.

[@tracymerten9980]

That was so much fun! I’m sure you’ve been asked and have answered this question a lot, but how do you decide the best place to cut?

[@518hs]

Awesome!

[@meg2831]

You made me giggle when you called that last one a heifer lol

[@AgateDad]

😅

[@icatz]

Love the druzy bots!

[@roserea3156]

Happy stone cutter.

[@boomrss1961]

It's my 1st time watching ANYONE do what you do , love it , love your enthusiasm! I've subscribed , I'm definitely be back x Suzy 🇬🇧 💎👏 x

[@sWeEt-BiPpY]

I'm from MN and love agate hunting. Been to the north shore many times and had great finds. I think I found a thunder egg when I was doing some landscaping, and it's a few pounds. Any tips or tricks on cutting it? I have a tile saw, but I don't think the clearance is big enough

[@chrissiejundt9867]

Marvelous

[@wendylerue8217]

The snow man!

[@maxcen7626]

Good minerals

[@sandramartin5155]

My favorite

[@verone272]

You should wet them before lighting them with the UV! It’s too cloudy when dried!

[@elizabethschaer9636]

I wish you could do more science. How do agates and geodes form? Has anyone covered this in the comments? When my son was young and very interested in fossils, especially dinosaurs, we were members of the Houston Gem and Mineral Society. I would make cabochons while he did projects they had for children. I have since moved away. Are there any of you members watching these?

[@dyannejohnson6184]

Like-like-like geodes

[@namepolicy5596]

The only thing more fun then watching you cut is to do it myself

[@kellyharper367]

Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: I ❤ geodes and crystals!

[@leannaerickson9745]

Verrrry interesting ... and beautiful, too. At 10:00 - 11:00 - What is the mineral that is fluorescing green? And at 13:00 -13:47, what is the black, sparkly (druzy?) material around the outside edge of the crystal pockets? Carry on, your doing fine work.🪨💎♊✨🎇💖

[@ВенераЛинник]

Какая красота!!!

[@bethroundell8424]

What is the dark red areas. Is there a use for the loss crystles.

[@veldasnyder2144]

I have this it is great for geodes and thunder eggs and slabs Covington 16 Inch Automatic Vibrating Flat Lap Machine

[@johnrichardson3297]

Agate dad , can you please make an jasper/agate/wood(agate)(slices or rough) table?

[@AgateDad]

If I had the time I would

[@carol-anngeorge3602]

How do you know where to cut? Can you cut the crystal s out? How do you know how much they are worth? Sorry for all the questions, this is new to me?

[@goldcambodia]

Good!

[@Crystalkayaking]

What brand of diamond blade do you prefer?

[@AgateDad]

So far my favorite has been the 6” thin sintered blade from hi tech diamond

[@fernbrisot325]

That last huge geode could be a Snorlax geode 🤣

[@PlanetaryLapidary]

Nice…you can take the water guard off your flat lap to polish🙂

[@AgateDad]

I’d need to be outside then lol

[@PlanetaryLapidary]

@@AgateDad you can put the whole flat lap in a wide trash can or big storage bin to catch the water…it works really good🙂
