Cutting Open 11 Malawi Agates…These are SO Beautiful!

[@newdonktimes2034]

The way she reacts when opening agate is like watching someone opening Pokemon card packs and getting a rare card. I’m so glad I found this channel

[@time_for_stones]

😂😂😂yes

[@rebeccaryderagreetotally.5895]

I think Ariel has such zing and appreciation of what she reveals each time. That's why I subscribed and it's like a happy counterpart to Agate dad's channel, which was my first time watching any cutting of stones and minerals. His same joy at what he finds is so refreshing and real. Personalities that have a platform of "joy and appreciation" of nature and micro geology makes me so very happy to view.

[@tp7937]

You open an agate- oh well that's not too bad i guess... Us- oh wow!!!! Omg that's all so beautiful!!! 😂

[@kbetch3]

my favorite part of your channel is your excitement and joy about the rocks!! love you and your content so much!! 🩷🩷

[@jaykay3784]

Your cutting videos are my favorite. I went on a binge. Please do more cutting videos. Your energy is infectious.

[@AgateAriel]

Thank you! Will do!

[@TheKegtwo]

I love to see the range of emotions on display when you are talking about agates. It is not easy to get rough agates here, so I live vicariously through you.

[@WarrenBaker-j9p]

Ariel enjoy your enthusiasm this is what rockhounding is all about thanks for a exciting video always wishing the best for you

[@browntownadventures]

I seriously love your videos, because you spaz out like I do when I find or cut open an amazing rock.

[@mormornie]

I will be honest, I call these videos my personal cocomelon, because I can't take my eyes off till the video ends and sit there fully glued to the screen, cheering with every stone cut open!

[@philstover2422]

When you opened those gorgeous ones, it was awesome to see your excitement.

[@jeffweese4551]

I love rocks, I don't collect rocks, but I love rocks - I watch, and subscribe because Ariel is so cheery and makes me smile. Thanks for the video!

[@time_for_stones]

So cool to see this beautiful agates ❤👍😊🖐

[@dough1968GMC]

Ariel I have to say, you are such a Joy to watch!!! Love ya!❤❤

[@abagailrhea3932]

I love seeing someone get really excited about doing something they love!

[@rafgameclips]

Never gonna miss a agate Ariel upload

[@lexstariadementia5086]

I love watching agates get opened. My favorite is when they open as geodes. Being in New England, my area doesn't have agates or geodes, so I love to see them. I also have been scoping out your etsy store for your buckets, and as soon as they were in stock again, I had to buy one. Christmas shopping is almost done 🎉

[@AgateAriel]

That is awesome! Thank you so much!

[@samfulks4896]

Love the cutting videos. Thank you

[@AgateAriel]

I’m so glad you like them!

[@peppercat8188]

I love seeing your joy and excitement at opening these beautiful rocks ❤

[@RyanWeishalla]

If I had enough bigger ones, I might try planning to do a couple slabs out of the middle in hopes of finding a couple to be able to make cabs out of. You had a few beauties in the set for sure

[@davidmsirois]

3:47 ... i love this one!

[@bellacooke7474]

I love watching your videos but I can't watch them too often because then I go on a rock buying spree😂 Time to add Malawi agates to my cart!!

[@sandmaker]

They were beautiful and the last one spun my head around. Thanks for sharing. See you next time.

[@AgateAriel]

Right!! It is stunning!!!

[@rachiemay1201]

Anytime I watch your videos, I smile. You bring such joy to little things and I love it!! Those rocks are beautiful and so is your personality 😊

[@Doug-xx3eh]

Great content! I loved your reactions.

[@timoovaskainen7245]

So amazing

[@Robbyrool]

Credit to God for creating such beautiful treasures, natural art, for us to discover and enjoy.

[@smithgroove945]

Great video Ariel.

[@JustMichiganDave]

That makes me so nervous when you cut those rocks with your fingers so close to the saw. My shaky hands and I'd probably have cut several fingers off doing that. Guess that's why you're a pro!

[@troylarsen2454]

Diamond blades don't actually cut, but rather grind. It's nearly impossible to cut your fingers on a diamond blade.

[@richarddundas5573]

Those are beautiful agates

[@MrsCan_Do]

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤

[@MisterMisanthropeEsquire]

Hmm, it's kind of like opening random loot boxes in video games. Can you imagine how she'd react to a legendary agate drop?

[@haze19931]

💜💜💜

[@BenGrigsby]

Very nice keep cutting queen bee 🐝

[@iw1166]

Whooshy for you😍

[@Defending.Islam.2]

10:02 At the tenth minute, a map of beloved Palestine appears

[@suzscully]

Yay!!!

[@Peaceful_Rayne]

You should do a colab with Agate Dad heheh

[@johnmiller7682]

Love these videos. I think if you slowed down the cutting process, you wouldn't have as many issues with fracturing an blade marks.

[@AgateAriel]

Yeah I do need to work on being more patient pushing them through!

[@RickSmith-kp3sy]

It's called a floater when you have that banded or colored area in the middle of the quartz as I understand it. The light floating dots are called platelets by some folks.

[@AgateAriel]

Thank you so much for the info!

[@RickSmith-kp3sy]

@@AgateAriel You'd have figured it out for yourself in a heartbeat!💓

[@kylegawron5358]

now that I have a job I'm going to get myself a 6" hi tech lap saw. I have 5 pounds of african malawi agate nodules

[@AgateAriel]

Do it!!! It’s so much fun! You can use my code too and get 10% off! hitechdiamond.com/?aff=218 code: AGATEARIEL

[@Incaensio]

You're so pretty 😍

[@CrustyWhiteBread]

I have a nice satchel of Arizona agates and petrified wood id like to send ya to cut open and have some fun with. I have no means to do so. Cheers.🎉

[@AgateAriel]

Send me a message on Etsy!

[@SnapScavenge]

Nice!

[@KelseyLloyd2113]

How do you polish them after you cut them?

[@_Its.Just.Felix_]

Ariel rocks words good... 🤣

[@TomLarose-m7c]

Which blade are you using?

[@AgateAriel]

10” thin sintered blade!

[@TomLarose-m7c]

@AgateAriel thank you!

[@acrocksfossils]

Hi Ariel, I like your videos. I just want to let you know that you have been pronouncing Malawi wrong. You’re supposed to say it maLaWi not maWaLi (L before w). It could be seen as offensive seeing that Malawi is actually a country. Keep up the good videos

[@AgateAriel]

Oh gosh I didn’t know that! Thank you!

[@acrocksfossils]

@@AgateAriel no problem! Always happy to help!!

[@ero1347]

Did you order these from somewhere? Would love to get some for me!

[@AgateAriel]

I did! I think I got these ones from the rock shed!

[@lescrawford3341]

Wooosheee

[@patprop74]

Is there any way to make a ring out of an agate? cuz that one at time index 2:00 would look fantastic as a finger ring.

[@AgateAriel]

Probably! Much too difficult for me though! Lol

[@martinanders2947]

Where do you get these?

[@aditya_aquarius]

I think u meant Malawi agates lol

[@AgateAriel]

lol yupp definitely did 🙈 just fixed it 😅

[@bigmelswonderland]

Can anyone suggest a good lapidary saw for beginners, hopefully not too expensive? My nephew is ready to "graduate" from tumbler to saw. Thanks 😊

[@lenren2004]

That last one looks like a drunk SpongeBob! 😃

[@triple_A_rockhound]

they remind me of bots meets carn agates 🤣and they had a kid

[@zosothezephead837]

"Okayyyyyy" = disappointed 😀

[@AgateAriel]

😅🙈

[@ero1347]

Did the title change on this one? 😉

[@AgateAriel]

Hahaha shhh 🙈

[@TheLawCoyoteTLC]

hey, I noticed that with your cutting technique, you're applying too much pressure/ rushing to cut through the last part. you can avoid chipping if you slow down towards the end

[@Nikkisavage100]

I think it's Malawi agates & not Mawali agates!

[@AgateAriel]

Hahah shh 🤫 I fixed it 🙈

[@TopazStones]
