Cutting Lake Superior agates open on my lapidary saw!

I cut open eighteen Lake Superior agates and the beauty hidden inside was shocking!! This batch of agate gems was sent to us by Evan and I was so happy that so many of these amazing minerals were absolute bangers! It is always so fun seeing inside these agates when they are cut open on our lapidary saws. No two are the same and it is a blast seeing inside them for the first time!

You always cut the prettiest pieces.

[@bradbenes425]

Hi agate dad how can a person get ahold of you personally?

[@user-cr3bc9re9l]

What determines the way you cut them and have you ever sliced each one in many slices ? Some sliced in more than 1 slice tell stories

[@vanessafrankson512]

I’m a friend of Evan’s and have seen these in person and getting to see what’s one the inside of these beauties has been magical! Thank you Agate Dad for allowing us to see what’s never been seen before!

[@robertjamesseeley741]

[@tassia1954]

I could watch you cut agates to eternity! Greetings from Greece!!!

[@AgateDad]

So fun!

[@NickAcker2019]

Amazing finds Evan!! Thank you for sending them to Taylor to cut❤

[@michelleangers342]

Hi Taylor! I started watching your rock hounding videos a couple of years ago and I've recently started watching your cutting videos and I'm completely addicted!🥰

[@bevharrison8157]

Thanks for sharing, I love those mossy agates they are like miniature works of art .😊

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Wow! Those agates were phenomenal! Really gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@maryannkom299]

[@lorenrobertson8039]

I simply love them all~ I'm enjoying your videos so much. I hopped on here first thing this morning to make my day! Thank you for sharing your rock hunting and cutting videos with us!

[@susannehubbell2799]

That second to last one got you good!!

[@JulesUS8386]

I hope you have some of those beauties left if I watch later. Always enjoy your reaction to the surprises though😊

[@donnaboyle669]

Exceptional agates. It’s like Christmas, all these gifts . I liked the last one of course, but my favorite is the orange one after the 4th or 5th agate cut. Loved that one. I could watch you cut all day. Thank you so very much. An entertainer in addition.

[@darrinwilliams5715]

That was a master class of studs. That is what LSA is all about. Too cool😎😎

[@AgateDad]

Absolutely boss!

[@patrickpuzzo416]

The last 2 are my favorites! The second to last had some cool diamond shapes in it. All in all there are some sweet Agates in there! Thanks for sharing them!

[@zyrinaz]

Why is watching u cut agates so fricken addictive? I'm like, gotta get my fix man 😂 my fave was actually the one w/ the blue diamond shape, but these all were super 😎! Even the kinda meh ones were really pretty 😊 thanks 4 letting us in on your wonderful cuts.

[@robinsmith3719]

That was a very special batch of rocks. They were stunners, well all but one.

[@JensensAdventures]

Those were all beautiful, but yeah that last one was the best, thanks for the video!

[@AgateDad]

Glad you like them!

[@BigJohn51976]

The first one you show I would call the "Fire Agate". With it's reds and oranges would be the fire and the white bands and the Quartz acting as smoke. Nice agate!!! And the last one you cut open could be The Magical Shroom. And we are the second people to see inside these agates. First being mother nature herself. She was the one to have the formula for all these agates.

[@elainelear4982]

Wow, so many great agates. Hard to choose a favorite one. Although the last one was 'oh my gosh' worthy!!

[@susangingrich2591]

A beautiful lot of agates. Thanks for sharing Evan and cutting them Agate Dad🤗🎉

[@meg2831]

7:38 that is such a crazy looking one! Wow! It's so busy and just neat.

[@janehelbert7551]

I liked the one at 8:00 but the last one was my favorite!

[@janehelbert7551]

Thank you Kevin!

[@shellyfoster1995]

Love to watch you open them. I really enjoy and appreciate your channel.

[@tracyroberts7918]

Hello Taylor, I have never commented on your channel before now and I'm sorry to say I have watched every single one of your videos! This video has blown me away and in my opinion is the best one you have ever done. It's edited beautifully and the content is awesome and the stars of the show as always the stunning agates. Im a collector and and cut and polish agates too so know how much hard work goes into it all. Keep up the good work best wishes from Tracy in Scotland.

[@nyamuochpaul4279]

[@kathleengarlick6952]

🤩🤩 that was awesome. I can feel my Blood pressure going down when I watch your videos. Besides the obvious last one my favorite was that mossy/quartz one at the 14:15 mark. I absolutely love your videos. Keep 'em coming.

[@lizlaine9319]

, you so much for sharing those absolutely gorgeous agates with us. I really enjoyed the great reveals. Stunning!

[@CorpseBride64]

I'm so glad I found this channel, I'm really enjoying it. I get a kick out of his pronunciation of certain words. So weird how dialect varies from state to state. 💕

[@kayrussum7119]

The white flameis phenomenal 🎉

[@beckyandrew53]

Really nice batch of agates. I love the reveals

[@meg2831]

[@Linda-nl6co]

[@amberandrews6842]

Great agates! The one you called an albatross? I saw a Phoenix, it was upside down, but it even had the corona of fire around it!!!

[@AgateDad]

Love it!

[@maryseaman312]

Thank you, Evan!

[@virginiabell7709]

Love the white flame.

Sooooo satisfying.

[@Mrjoshuasjourneyzzz10420]

I work with grinders and diamond blades , trimming bathtubs. Just made a table to trim panels, I definitely can make my own rock cutting setup, and my sister hunts agates . Wicked cuts

[@simadey8092]

[@chrissiejundt9867]

Marvelous simply beautiful

[@cathyscism1817]

The last one you cut is so beautiful 😍

[@kc195556]

I love your playful creative orneryness in this video!

[@meg2831]

Honestly i wanted to comment on every one of them but thought that might get a bit annoying lol. I love watching you cut. I used to get nervous watching your fingers get so close but I've watched so many of your videos now that i don't worry anymore cause i know you know what you are doing. You rock 😁

[@anitagroves2731]

❤😊 this was alot of fun to wat h ,thank you ❤😊

[@AgateDad]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@charlesgreenland9008]

Fire ❤️🔥

[@judybailey6797]

The last one you cut (teasing us about not showing the cut). I saw a human head profile with an electric charge coming from the spine going up to the brain. You are so fun to watch.

[@cindyrebstock2334]

7.30 time stamp…OH MY GOSH…what a shocker inside! Beautiful! ❤

[@cindyrebstock2334]

Hard to say which is my fave. You must be in agate heaven!!!

[@cynthiagenone3436]

The last one looks like a mushroom....I love it

[@amberandrews6842]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@jasonsummit1885]

One type that I'd love to be able to cut would be a copper replacement agate with alternating agate and copper bands.

[@korieshannon9645]

@AgateDad these are incredible! One right after the next was 🔥! My fiancé who’s not really a rockhound like I am watched this with me and he was even in awe! (I don’t know how you can’t be 😮) lol but I love your videos! I am planning to go up to Lake Superior sometime this year. Do you ever cut them for viewers? Anyway keep the great videos coming! They are super entertaining!! 🤩😎

[@meg2831]

11:59 i was not expecting the purpleish pink in that one.

[@carmenevans7651]

The ugly one right before you changed the blade is very similar to one I have. I may have to get a saw.

[@meg2831]

18:22 it's like a psychedelic mushroom. Very cool.

[@carmenevans7651]

I've been told that blue quartz is very rare.

[@E.o.t.4637]

👀DANG!👀

[@cindyrebstock2334]

Ok, got excited when you said amethyst, but no!!! Actually it is so perfect inside, that it was ok that there was no amethyst. Beautiful banding and coloring!

[@donaldsiehl4817]

Nice video, I'm curious about whether or not there is a market for peices like yours, and the initial start up process...?

[@johannaknowles8569]

The last one looks like a broccoli 🥦 to me 😂

[@cassiewarren8154]

Use the black light!!

[@AgateDad]

Nothing shows up with Lake Superior agates :)

[@user-fh1iw5ju6z]

Like opening a 🎁

[@cindyd.01]

I’ve been watching loads of your videos, it’s like Christmas sometimes! Very fun videos. Also you are very charming. Question - when you talk about “tubes” what do you mean?

[@susikaufmann3734]

👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤😍😍😍

[@mumo9413]

Why cut in half, instead of 1/3rds? Genuine Q? Thanks!

[@patriciamckean4186]

Saved the best for last. My favorite is at 7:44. So strange looking, but so awesome. Any idea what type of lake superior agate? 😮

[@evanshper7541]

I'm no expert but I believe it could be a fragmented membrane agate.

[@MrJudder413]

He must gone off shore (dove) for these. How do you find sooo many big bois.. nonetheless they are all amazing ❤

[@AgateDad]

Or gravel pits lol

[@MrJudder413]

@@AgateDad true. Just alot of big quality stones. Used to watching you and Rob rock hound on beaches and y'all will get the occasional monster but bulk big boys seem to be hard to come by.

[@cassiewarren8154]

I wanna see these under black light!!

[@AgateDad]

Nothing happens 😊

[@calebdillman8462]

Have you tried blue light to any of your cuts? I know there are rocks off lake superior that are known for that
