I joined the membership. I'm little confused. What does it do? I'm not up to date with this it's my first time joining a membership on u-tube. Im Over a half century years old😅😅😅 so I'm not quit up to date. Will you please explain shortly what happens with membership? I feel silly but had to ask. Thank you, I love rocks and your video's are so much fun. I'm now subscribed to so many channel's, I think I have rock fever. 🤒.

[@JulesUS8386]

Congrats on the Botswana getting all picked up fast!

[@misstricksee]

​@@karlahall9058 haha same. I'm over half a century old and I couldn't even figure out how to join?? 😅 I kept going around in circles and couldn't figure out how to complete the process?? I got frustrated and gave up. But yeah this has been the most wholesome and fun rock cutting and lapidary account I've come across. I'm cane across it a couple weeks ago and pretty sure I marathoned all his videos. 🤦‍♀️🤣 But yeah, I'd like to figure out how to join and what exactly it provides?

3:10 This one (the 3rd one) that you cut into (the weird one) is a fossil of a crab. Had you hit it slightly with a hammer (soft blow) on the seam line (the line in the rock where there's a lot of divits) you would op3n the rock to find a crab fossil! 0:02 In this first shot of the crab the rock on the lower left of screen. The top portions of the crabs pincher arm can be seen. That's why the saw had a 'hiccup' when it was going through the rock in a rock!

Back in 1987 I was making a pot of soup, lol sounds kind of weird but I reached into a bag of potatoes (from Idaho) and pulled out a large stone which looked just like a potato. As a conversation piece I've kept this rock all through the years and it still sets on the back of my stove. It is a geode with crystals poking out of it I'm now at the point of wanting to see what is inside. Rocks are so fascinating.

[@LaviniaBowman]

I will never judge the outside of a rock again. This was so amazing.

[@izzywizzy416]

Omg these are so beautiful 😍 and that 3rd one looks like there's shamanic feathers preserved in an ancient agate gift box. Awesome find - love it!!!

[@CarolBenson-m2o]

The first "ugly" was absolutely perfect and looked like eyes with eyebrows!

[@karlahall9058]

The third agate has a feather trapped in it. Soooo cool!!!

[@Daryl-ht1pi]

Native American head dress feather , my fav !

[@taleandclawrock2606]

Fossil?

[@JenniferVerdin]

I was thinking the same!! So cool

[@kathymolberg6893]

I’m 70 and absolutely love rocks! I’m enjoying this soooo much! Love your laugh and enthusiasm! Minnesota gal here who takes her granddaughter to the north shore to hunt for agates! She has my heart for rocks!

[@jeffholmes1362]

That first one looked like cartoon eye. Pretty sure when Elma Fund was hypnotised, they looked just like that 😂😂😂

[@bizkunsman6596]

It does! Like Sylvester the cat!

[@bizkunsman6596]

The 2nd one is Taz!

[@peggyallen6084]

Every stone you cut open is like opening a Christmas present that you’ve always wanted!

[@nepsyasudra3262]

Agates, proving true beauty is on the inside 💜

[@carolebookman6213]

Those are some of the best agates I've seen you cut in a while. Absolutely stunning! ❤

[@marywalterman3696]

They are all so beautiful. I really like the one that looks like a feather!❤

[@AgateDad]

It’s so unique!

[@boostmobily7088]

My first reaction was the same as you. It looks like an hawk feather

[@greeneyedgirlina]

I thought feather too. Very unique. No disappointments in this batch. Always fun to watch, Mother Nature magic tricks.

[@markgubbins1958]

Wow !!! It's unbelievable what Mother Nature's artwork can do. Wonderful cuts and polishing job.

[@karlahall9058]

What a great video!! I had so much fun, I really wanted to see the other half of the feather rock. I'm convinced it's a feather!! Thank you, what good time. This is why I watch rock cutting. It's a wonderful time😊

[@CWorgen5732]

I love that the husk usually looks opaque until you cut it open and it's this thick layer of transparent agate. Beautiful.

[@AgateDad]

So much fun!

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Another batch of beautiful, studly agates! The shine you put on them is perfection! Great work! 😊

[@AgateDad]

Thank you very much!

[@joane.landers9151]

Beautiful Botswana agate! I cut-polished several many years ago. Thanks for sharing.

[@mumo9413]

South Africa & South America.....simply equals to the best best gem stones & semi-precious gemstones on the planet! ❤ Brilliant polishing! Bravo!

[@DrJ4712]

The 3rd one looks like Feathers! Beautiful ! 😊❤ Thanks for stopping by The Gem Shop Jeff!! Great batch🥰

[@MicheleRuiz-h3j]

These agates polished up BEAUTIFULLY! I think you're becoming the agate cutting whisperer. Lately it seems you know where to cut to split the bands. I especially like the unusual agate! Keep up the great work!🩵🩵🩵

[@jazzychazzy007]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[@JeffWeymier]

Awesome video. Beautiful agates. I'm glad these are all working out for you. I'm picking up a hi-tech Diamond trim saw this weekend so I can try this as well.

[@AgateDad]

Nice!! They were great, thanks Jeff!

[@harlydynamike49]

[@christinakohl6111]

My jaw was literally on the floor for pretty much all 6! So gorgeous😍

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

They are outrageously gorgeous.

[@JnVrockhounding]

Awesome agates and equally awesome polish on them all.

[@AgateDad]

Thank you!

[@paulgilbert225]

Holy buckets!!! That feather agate is amazing. Great depth in that one. Love all the shadow banding in the others too. Great job on the polish Agate Dad. Have a Good Friday 👍

[@helgavoorneveld1530]

I always look forward to one of your videos because of your laughter and genuine excitement when you find a good one. It warms my heart and makes me smile even if I had a bad day at work or the rain is making me gloomy so keep being you and keep cutting the goodies what a treat they were! 😍

[@lisalarouge6309]

You crack me up. Your joy is contagious.😂

[@alifejza]

[@KS-jm9uo]

Love that opening, Taylor! Intrigue, suspense, then WOW!

[@sandmaker]

Cut, cut, cut. What could be better than exposing inner beauty. I like the one that looked like a fossil egg. Super unusual! Keep having fun and thank you for sharing.

[@lisakaye3935]

I wire wrap crystals, gemstones, glass etc and Botswana agates are some of my favorite to work with. These are beautiful.

[@sherrybriggs5459]

They're all. Gorgeous the one looks like it has a feather in it

[@deboraclancy8964]

Great job !!! They are simply amazing !!!

[@AgateDad]

[@rebeccajones3461]

How cool! The third agate revealed at 3:00 looks like feathers inside when you revealed it.

[@jmcgovern6454]

It was magical to see each cut and all the colors and designs ❤

[@SlavuskaSzremko]

I don't need Turkish series, every video of yours delights me and I follow it closely. I enjoy it almost with the same enthusiasm as you! Thank you for the beautiful videos.🥰 Gretings from Austria! Slava

[@Angela_Newburn]

Beautiful bands! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@shellyfoster7319]

Wow. They are so beautiful.

[@CAUGHH]

Thank you for posting this. I find rocks a lot like this round where I live.

[@urbanhound007]

That dark to white contrast on the second one is incredible!! Like the Yin and Zang symbol hahaha ☯️

[@daniellegibson9390]

1:37 is absolutely beautiful i would name it day and night the one on the left would be day (bright white) and the one on the right night (like the moon with a hint of light shining) just stunning

[@galloping3265]

The second one looks like a feather design inside. ❤

[@VooV830]

Thank you for sharing these stunning stones...😊

[@AgateDad]

My pleasure 😊

[@yvonnepagan9912]

The cartoon eyes seem to belong to a drunk Bugs Bunny! The second last ones looked like ears. And the last one reminded me of my old geography lesson and contour lines of a mountain. Ya just never know what’s inside, eh!

[@sherrybriggs5459]

I love the last one.

[@STRAIGHTJXCKET]

wow that's awesome, so so beautiful ❤️

[@traceybradshaw166]

Wow absolutely stunning even before the polish.

[@bakayaroonna8]

I loved the one that looked like a feather inside! Too bad it is already gone from your store!

[@AgateDad]

There’s one half left I haven’t polished yet, hopefully in the next few days

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

The third one looks like a feather how amazing! I love the premium Botswana Agates. Have a great day!

[@AgateDad]

You too bud!

[@calebdillman8462]

7:00 hands down fav. Those inverted bands. 🎉

[@bethsevern8372]

The third agate you cut looks like it has a feather inside 😄♥️

[@paulabrandt3922]

Wow! What an impressive group of agates!!!

[@AgateDad]

Very!

[@cindyrebstock2334]

Wow, they all look so beautiful. I really like the last one you cut. I really like the little speckles on it. Do you know what those are?

[@AgateDad]

Platelets

[@sarahramirez21199]

2:44 looks like a feather inside 😊

[@c.treuil4092]

That second agate is wicked!!!❤

[@cindyd.01]

Dangit one day I will catch some of my faves in your Etsy store. So many good ones! 😊

[@mumo9413]

Why don't you cut in thirds? Surely you'd get more results? I'm curious? Thank you 🎉

[@AgateDad]

It’s a preference thing

[@jimellis936]

Beautiful rocks, great choices for music.

[@AgateDad]

Many thanks!

[@clannishkobra8965]

The ones that have the clear/translucent husk or layer on the outside they tend to fracture off easily especially when tumbled. My best guess is that the difference in the crystal structure of that later is different and not bonded very well.

[@MASI_forging]

They are all so beautiful 😍😍

[@gailpeekeekoot6182]

Your joy makes my day!

[@AgateDad]

I’m so glad!

[@sherrybriggs5459]

Thank you!!!

[@glendajorde9062]

i love how you do the reveals

[@AgateDad]

[@katielane4431]

They are stunning I have learnt so much from you thank you

[@AgateDad]

I'm so glad!

[@michellerust5949]

Loved the I one that looked like a feather

[@kastah]

Beutiful patterns so even a Jasperlover must admit that., some looked like Botswana Agats. (ugh, you said it too). Wow, that pattern at 3.06 looked like a feather, must be an inbedded feather?

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

That 3rd one is amazing, almost looks like an old fossil

[@Hannah-cb6os]

These cutting videos are like gambling, but you always win

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Outstanding!

[@pattijareo7423]

What gorgeous creations! Why do you rock the stones back and forth as you are cutting them? Just curious. Could it cause more saw marks? Thanks from Omaha gramma! 😄

[@tonicarey1752]

Number 2 is stunning. Number 3 is....odd in a beautiful way. Have a great Easter everyone

[@AgateDad]

Happy Easter ❤️

[@viktorshevtsov3749]

[@als8326]

Those agates are cool they all look like eyeballs you could make a face😊

[@razz4taz]

I'm VERY new to collecting and liking rocks. I have so many questions. Easiest way to polish. I've got all types of sand paper. I've got a tumbler coming. I have a dremel. i need to buy a diamond cutting blade. How did you know these were agates? What rocks to keep? I trued polishing last year for the first time. Didnt go very well. So i just put a coat of resin on some of them. How do you figure out what type of rock you picked up?

[@ShlisaShell]

Wow, the third looks like a feather.

[@lauratroxel24]

Gorgeous!

[@kirsiselei8703]

[@liszafricaminmin2898]

[@payal_mutha]

How do you decide on picking up a particular rock? Do you have any criteria to fit in? I am new to rockhounding. Trying it in India.

[@tracymerten9980]

The first rock almost look like cartoon eyes.😂
