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!

[@alisoncleeton877]

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

[@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

[@meg2831]

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

[@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! 🤩🤩🤩

[@Timeforstones]

Beautiful rocks, congatulations 🙂

[@baldeagle4225]

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

[@AgateDad]

Right?! It should warm in the next few days

[@meepenjaap7999]

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

[@user-kk5vv2ks5r]

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!!!

[@carolbalcar7999]

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

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Beautiful rocks! Thanks. Stay warm.

[@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.

[@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.

[@california3186]

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

[@Fran_Zes]

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😍

[@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 😍

[@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

[@jenlensis10]

These are beautiful!!!

[@sophiafulgenzi9937]

Beautiful work! 💕

[@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.

[@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.

[@japhyryder66]

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

[@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.

[@sarahstrong7174]

I love the unusual colours. Lots of subtleties.

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

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

[@Innerglowllc]

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

[@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.

[@-hw-]

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

[@kirsiselei8703]

So gorgeous❤

[@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

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

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

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

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

[@robinsmith3719]

Simply gorgeous to look at. Really like this rocks.

[@darrinwilliams5715]

That material is on fire!!!! Wow😎😎

[@joanrieser2580]

Excellent cuts and beautiful Jasper!!

[@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!

[@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 😊

[@grandparocky]

I love working with Jasper!

[@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

[@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!!!

[@gemstonejudy5900]

Such unpredictable colors! What a surprise!

[@janemay7181]

Just beautiful 🤩

[@MoneeQ222]

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

[@johnpearson935]

Love watching your videos on my breaks!

[@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.)

[@CurleeChapa]

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

[@sherrybriggs5459]

Love the last one blue

[@nancyphelps4855]

Thank you for sharing. Ive never seen this before

[@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.

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

WOW LOVE THE BLUE ONE

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

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

[@jodyroe5703]

Wows! Super Sweet!

[@pedrasdeminasgerais.]

Thank you Very Nice, Congruations

[@cynthinamurphy5902]

They were all beautiful ❤

[@izzywizzy416]

Absolutely stunning I could look at these all day 🥰

[@AgateDad]

Right?!

[@carolpountney7627]

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

[@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.

[@papiojenjones1585]

Nature's jaw breakers!

[@E.o.t.4637]

Reminds me of a layered jawbreaker 😂love the blue center

[@PauliesChannel]

Sea fog moon, absolutely beautiful!

[@pamelanay2195]

I love all of them

[@alicewilloughby4318]

1:31 - Those would make very nice earrings!

[@carolbalcar7999]

Nice polishing

[@timpeel5094]

I love ❤️ Mozambique rock, all.good

[@Sookielein]

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

[@CedarStoneCreations]

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

[@user-mf6ir7sq2z]

Never been crazy about green but those were cool.

[@Mrjoshuasjourneyzzz10420]

Sweet!!!

[@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!

[@joanrieser2580]

That last one looks like ocean❤

[@laraewelch5217]

15:35 looks like Arch Rock on the Oregon Coast

[@activedogzz100]

Love your channel thank you!

[@AgateDad]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ukulelia56]

They are like Modern Art😮

Jasper is my favorite kind of rock

[@Nikkisavage100]

Love jaspers !

Same!

[@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 😂

[@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!

[@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 😊

[@cathleenfuller7895]

I love the weird ones!!! They remind me of Japnese paintings. Are you seeling them???

[@rocktime3627]

Thanks for sharing this video! I like the blue one too. I've also posted some videos cutting Royal Imperial jasper. My batch seems to have a much higher yield of orbs (maybe 2 in 3). Curious where you got yours from? I got mine from JH Kalmore.

[@sofiahenry9836]

delicious orange slices

[@melindaschluter1669]

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

[@AgateDad]

Welcome!!

[@TheSimmy77]

Call you JASPER dad now? 😂 I love this material ❤

[@AgateDad]

lol no

[@patriciamckean4186]

Love the cross hairs....cool stuff.

[@youcancreatetoo6058]

Oh my gosh! I want to wire wrap a tree of life on that third cut! I looked on etsy but didn't see these there. Am I too late?

[@JeffWeymier]

Great video. I didn't know that you used to Gem Store here in Cedarburg. I go there very often. The Swazi agates you cut open for me were from there. Let me know the next time you are heading there and I'll meet you and treat for lunch.

[@AgateDad]

I’d love to visit sometime, use my code next time you go in lol

[@JeffWeymier]

@@AgateDad it is a great store. I just ordered a couple slabs of purple jade from them.

[@tenbroeckpatterson396]

What kind of saw do you use? Can I use a Dremel saw with water to cut smaller rocks?

[@coastalcutie2000]

Have you ever cut a piece that turned out to be less than what you wanted, then cut one of those halfs in the other direction, just to see what the difference might be? Just curious. Love your site!!

[@japhyryder66]

Dammit, Taylor! Now I have another thing to obsess about! 😁

[@AgateDad]

😂

[@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

[@raystevens687]

I was just wondering how many rocks do you think you've polished on the Cab King.

[@AgateDad]

I have no idea lol

[@olenazareshniuk]

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

[@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.

[@eltorocal]

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

[@dianequince8761]

I love the one that acted strange with the water! When will this be for sale on Etsy?

[@AgateDad]

They were ☺️
