Hello and what is your thoughts on this find on the railway tracks! Photo following.

[@GarthRoseth-wg7pu]

Where can I send photos of a big hunk of earth history?

[@peggyhenson2713]

Teal waters flow into the blue colored walls of the grotto. The outer cave walls are an impressive rock face.

[@lisakaye3935]

Beautiful interpretation! I love the blue watery, sunset, grasses in these jaspers.

[@alicewilloughby4318]

peggy, that sounds like a poem!

[@kimallen9130]

How high are you!

[@bettynobriga6047]

I really like the fact that you do not talk a lot but show the results right off. I hate having to wait and wait to see what’s going on. Thank you

[@sharoncrawford4786]

It’s a real privilege to see something that no one has ever seen before. Thank you for sharing.

[@sandmaker]

I loved them all. Even the one you weren't so crazy about. My favorite was the magic moon. I have never seen a stone like that and probably never will again. Thanks for sharing them all wit us. Cut, cut, cut! 😷⚒

[@meg2831]

3:07 i was thinking the same thing, it does look like a misty or foggy moon. Very pretty!

[@Anna_Lyze]

One looks like a pair of shoe, one's like a moon scene, and the last one was like inside of a cave looking outside😍

[@eugeniaduarte6280]

To the untrained eye one wouldn’t suspect that there’s such beauty inside these rocks. I’ve collected a few rocks I thought were beautiful and brought them home with me. Color! How did this happen? Thank you.

[@alisoncleeton877]

You are the first person to see those colours in maybe millions of years. That's the really cool part! Thanks for sharing!💗

[@pedrasdeminasgerais.]

Thank you Very Nice, Congruations

[@meepenjaap7999]

New favorite, Imperial Jasper! Love the blue and orange contrast.

[@MicheleRuiz-h3j]

The imperial jasper is really nice. I really like the one with the water spots you mentioned. It seems a bit oriental to me. I also liked the one with the teal.

[@AgateDad]

It’s so unique!

[@dianekring7672]

I agree! It has a Japanese flair to it! Quite striking!! I love it!

[@jonathanmichaelmortarotti9230]

Hermosos Jasper, y como las personas,, la verdadera belleza está en su interior. Saludos y muy lindo el canal!!!

[@sheeremthefirst]

3:13 it looks like the moon i want it. As well as the previous one omg. Thank you for your content! I have been binge-watching

[@maryseaman312]

6:16 looks like those pudding rocks that Michigan Rocks enjoys so much! Each stone makes its own testimony, don't they? Like individual personalities!

[@watchingthewheelsgoround260]

Definitely the right call! 🤩🤩🤩

[@baldeagle4225]

Gotta love the weather we’re getting right now!🥶

[@AgateDad]

Right?! It should warm in the next few days

[@annekupillasfineart]

I really like these! They’re different, almost like modern art

[@lindamorrison9755]

Love the one that holds the water and looks Like a full moon and the lines well it is just beautiful.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

WOWSZA! Those are very beautiful 😍 ❤. Certainly befitting the name IMPERIAL JASPER. The GREEN one is my favorite, LOVE that one with its odd lines.

[@Goldwaschenid]

Beautiful rocks, congatulations 🙂

[@carolbalcar7999]

So cool ,I've never seen royal jasper befor.

[@sharoncrawford4786]

The turquoise blue is stunning

[@lynnrandal317]

Yes I love jasper! Sadly I can't watch the whole video now but I'll watch it later after my live class! 👍 😁 And amazing content Agate Dad keep up the good work

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

Your patience is outstanding I could never do that, I have trouble waiting for the kettle to boil lol 😂. Jasper will always be my favourite, the ones with the strange markings look like Japanese art. Fabulous.

[@jamieparsons6413]

Wow 👌 never heard of royal imperial jasper. Super beautiful 😍

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Beautiful rocks! Thanks. Stay warm.

[@carolpountney7627]

The sun setting in a sand storm in the Mojave Desert❤

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

The third one looks like a moon. The fixers adds to its beauty!!!

[@joanrieser2580]

That last one looks like ocean❤

[@maryseaman312]

I am a newly, but that third one - - I thought for sure that if you would cut exactly where you ended up cutting that it would be fantastic! You did, and it WAS! All of them are just beautiful ... I wish I better understood about the minerals involved that create so much beauty and awe.

[@maryseaman312]

I watch you, Currently Rockhounding, and Michigan Rocks. After watching all you guys do with rocks, I am now looking at the "art", I so much more appreciate what y'all provide for us armchair rockhounds! I have never understood how anyone could sell what we find lying around along streams, etc. Needless to say - - I would PAY for gladly for how you take "just plain rocks" and reveal their inner beauty to others.

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Wow! I've never seen Royal Imperial jasper before! How beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Love it! 😊

[@rickbuchanan6248]

The round one that is blue in the center reminds me of a pool in Yellowstone park.. those pools are fun to look at just as that jasper is.

[@katibenelli9142]

My favorite honestly, was the one that had the moon shape with the fractures in them. the bonus was when the fracture disappeared until you added the water.

[@jenlensis10]

These are beautiful!!!

[@darrinwilliams5715]

That material is on fire!!!! Wow😎😎

[@-hw-]

I all ready know this is going to be a good video.

[@Innerglowllc]

Omgosh.....all of those are so beautiful. Jasper is a favorite of mine. I really love the ones with the moon....

[@sophiafulgenzi9937]

Beautiful work! 💕

[@japhyryder66]

I would totally have bought the one that looks like the moon. I need it!

[@eugeniaduarte6280]

Agate Dad…thank you. I love agates, amethysts, crystals, jasper and wear it in jewelry. Have been collecting for a long time. My husband and I watch you working. Thanks

[@janicecofiell1978]

Wow there all so beautiful but the one green one that has the perfect circle in the middle of it is super interesting and I love it 😊

[@nicolepinkham4241]

Ok so, JUST YESTERDAY, before I watched your video, I was going through a batch of newly finished tumbled rocks of my own, and I ran onto one of those “magic” green rocks. I even thought the word “magic” in my head as I was looking at it. It’s so cool! It’s shiny and looks like a hard candy shell, but it still somehow absorbs water to temporarily change the color. Ive never seen anything like that either. I need to find more!!! So needless to say, when I saw your video, my jaw dropped to the floor after you discovered yours! If you find out anything more on those rocks, let us know! Thanks for all your fantastic videos!!!

[@grandparocky]

I love working with Jasper!

[@stormygcannon1229]

Love slabs, how the Earth gives us so much beautiful precious and try to buy what I liked. Slabs are what I see and the beauty to be unveiled.

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

My favorite is the cross going through the moon!!!

[@robinsmith3719]

Simply gorgeous to look at. Really like this rocks.

[@MoneeQ222]

Wow! Gorgeous The one with the blue in the middle looks like the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park 🩵🩵🩵🧡🧡🧡

[@kerolsferreira1157]

Finally i got the name of this beauty! I have a bunch of them, all almost perfect circles ❤ i love your content 🇧🇷

[@CurleeChapa]

The green rock and the RIJ almost looks like wood after polishing....too cool!

[@gemstonejudy5900]

So many different colors! What a surprise! Love these!😍

[@sherrybriggs5459]

Love the last one blue

[@eltorocal]

Royal Imperial Orbicular jasper... Jalisco, Mexico. Forms in hydrothermal volcanic vents.

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

Looks like a blue pool on the fourth one!!! Love it!!!

[@sarahstrong7174]

I love the unusual colours. Lots of subtleties.

[@gemstonejudy5900]

Such unpredictable colors! What a surprise!

[@EsmereldaPea]

Watching you in your shorts and sandals is making me colder than the draft from my living room window. Detroit area here. Warmed up to 17F but very windy out RN. Thanks for bringing the beauty to a blustery day! (I've been dreaming of using some stone buttons on one of my custom garments.)

[@meg2831]

Jasper is my favorite kind of rock

[@papiojenjones1585]

Nature's jaw breakers!

[@california3186]

I absolutely love that green moon piece!! It’s awesome!!!

[@Sookielein]

My favorit is the greenish one with the light circle in the middle. Looks like the moon.

[@E.o.t.4637]

Reminds me of a layered jawbreaker 😂love the blue center

[@OntarioAtOrion]

That fracture on the third one makes it look like a cross on it!

[@AgateDad]

Love it!

[@OntarioAtOrion]

Its gorgeous the way its like a perfect circle like the sun or the full moon even right behind that cross shape! ​@AgateDad

[@PauliesChannel]

Sea fog moon, absolutely beautiful!

[@Amethyst_Annie]

The colors in all of these are really beautiful. I enjoyed watching the process and hearing your thoughts along the way. I’m going to check out some of this jasper through your affiliate link.

[@spruceangel01]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching your channel. From Alberta with ❤

[@rondareed6609]

My favorite is the green ones with the moon or sun in it, I know it's weird but i see a beautiful picture of a night time moon with the lines thru it giving them a other worldly vibe, if I could afford them I'd buy both of them lol. I like the odd and unique ones that most will not care for, they all are really cool thou, great work!!

[@timpeel5094]

I love ❤️ Mozambique rock, all.good

[@lisamartin774Life]

The last one looks like a cave entrance....with a blue sky....dark blue water...

[@Grandmasrockin]

Thank you for sharing. Ive never seen this before

[@ukulelia56]

They are like Modern Art😮

[@izzywizzy416]

Absolutely stunning I could look at these all day 🥰

[@AgateDad]

Right?!

[@janemay7181]

Just beautiful 🤩

[@laraewelch5217]

15:35 looks like Arch Rock on the Oregon Coast

[@hez5160]

I've fallen down a rabbit hole recently with your videos--- I just discovered your videos. I think the jasper at 4:16 looks like one of those glowy neon lights from the 90s!

[@joanrieser2580]

Excellent cuts and beautiful Jasper!!

[@johnpearson935]

Love watching your videos on my breaks!

[@kirsiselei8703]

So gorgeous❤

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

WOW LOVE THE BLUE ONE

[@pamelanay2195]

I love all of them

[@CedarStoneCreations]

A single degree 😂, atleast it hasn’t been too bad of a winter! Just rockhounded yesterday as the snow is melting out west!

[@calebdillman8462]

Found these in SE Wisconsin. Look great polished.

[@KCgirl-s1g]

Never been crazy about green but those were cool.

[@weiner1414]

Wow…. Nice! I have been using my 10” slab saw! Cut some rocks! I have one that is really cool! I would like to send you a pic of it to see what you think!

[@cindyrebstock2334]

They are each quite unique in their own way. I would have to say I really like the greenish one. It kinda reminds me of an oriental painting! The royal imperial jasper is not one of my favorite cuttings. They did look better once they were polished. Sorry it was such a pain polishing them. Hope your hands get a good rest!

[@watchingthewheelsgoround260]

How long till they are in your Etsy? I love the green water drip ones.

[@AgateDad]

They are in my Etsy now

[@watchingthewheelsgoround260]

@@AgateDad not anymore 😂

[@alicewilloughby4318]

1:31 - Those would make very nice earrings!

[@marionhoppal6378]

I thought they were beautiful I know you didn't know what to think because you usually do agates but I think they're beautiful and you did a great job cutting them

[@elfox3537]

Any chance you might cut one perpendicular to the design instead of parallel to it? Just to see what it looks like.

[@AgateDad]

Maybe in the next batch!

[@annaleggans9891]

I have found àlot of these in southern Illinois along the Mississippi River

[@nicol3cart3r]

So I have cut a ton of this and had no idea it was called this. I have found a lot of this in eastern Oregon.

[@olenazareshniuk]

Beautiful colors 😍 They remind me of "The Book of Boba Fett" ~ locations

[@patriciastanke2264]

A lot of interesting comments. I think the teal one looks like being in a cave looking out at Lake Superior. Like your skeleton in the corner 😊

[@jarduanaodgvods]

01:49 👻 "Ooooooooohooooo"

[@cynthinamurphy5902]

They were all beautiful ❤

[@mezganly1963]

I love that magic green one :)

[@marymacdonald805]

My favorite is the one you said was the hardest to polish. It looks like a Japanese painting.

[@melindaschluter1669]

New viewer here! My daughter showed me you! Love this! ❤❤❤

[@AgateDad]

Welcome!!

[@kimberlydlapp3441]

Agatebay channel had a tip about cutting those jaspers AgateDad. It reminds me of cutting fordite. Always good content sir

[@AgateDad]

I should check those out!

[@jodyroe5703]
