I cut $200 worth of agates open! These agates are a special variation of Brazilian agates and ended up being of the higher quality in the agate realm.

I don’t math well either. Lol

[@Blufuzzyhat]

I see what you did there.

[@JulesUS8386]

Yeah rotf 😂😂😂. Ya need to tighten up those arm muscles…that gave you away! Bc a lb of agates looks harder for you to hold than a lb of cookies. A pound is a pound is a pound. Looks like a Mummy Butt with some green algae on the exterior 🍑. That bluish agate would make great cabs…a bluish butt….I guess I could PAINT it!! #DADA

[@TreeMonsterrrr]

Well, what is heavier? A pound 😊f feathers or a pound of agates? 😂

The opening was peak dad humor, keep it up Taylor! 😂 They were all beautiful but I love the bands on the first one so much

😂🙌

Agate Dad's bubbling laughter is the best stress reliever you can get for free. I always feel so cheerful after i watch him share his agate love with us.

[@AgateDad]

That is seriously so nice!!

[@jmcgovern6454]

Oh my god the container weight and your enthusiasm is the reason I watch your content. Butt (he he) the double bubble left me laughing louder than you!! It reminds me of the other agate you cut and its end results left you laughing 😂Love it all ❤

[@allielightfoot2769]

I know some may think I’m stupid but if these were cut in thin slices and then had acrylic poured on them they would make amazing drink coasters.

[@KimMueske]

Before I had a polishing system I did that and made sun catchers with the slabs.

[@melindawhite5198]

I really like the slab idea

[@DSWatsup]

Great idea

[@alphagt62]

Do you really need acrylic to make coasters? They’re rocks, they’re pretty tough!

[@TheRealBambihooves]

Nope, not stupid at all 🙂

[@arlahare4020]

i think i liked the first one the best. the way the bands followed the pattern into the interior. Lovely. Also you laughing like a mad scientist was bonus. Cheers.

[@nicolepinkham4241]

I would love to see a video of you cutting these into thin slabs!

[@amberandrews6842]

Yes!!!

[@NancyGrandmasrockin]

Thank you Taylor for making my morning!! You are so funny!! Best sense of humor!! And the last one is my fav!!

[@markwhitesell4491]

Agate-got-back... too funny! But anyway... each of the three cuts was unique and special and my fav was the third cut... the double-bubble. Another great video that brightened my day immensely.

[@henrietteterpstra5213]

The first one is my favorite. Nice pattern and very elegant colors . Love your presentation. From EU, best regards and thanks

[@cherylhaynes2270]

I love watching you cut these stones and your laugh of excitement is awesome. I have no favorites i love all rocks and i like seeing them cut. I also like the hunts you go on. May your future be bright and positive with many adventures from texas

[@lesleyhiggin475]

Yes I sure did crack up, watched the antics twice 😂 I was expecting a box full !!! The second one is my favourite

[@WorldofRockhounds]

This just reminded me that I bought some agates too (shopping as I'm getting ready to sleep) and I should probably see where they are at! 😂

[@Angela_Newburn]

Stunning 😍! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@SteinEiSammler]

Your humor is fantastic 🤣👍But I'm shocked at how much the Brazilians cost in the USA. In Germany, they are low-cost agates, which are mostly only used for industry because of their simple appearance.

[@marie-josetimperley3825]

200$ well spent! Love the third one but they’re all impressive!

[@lisalarouge6309]

I wouldn’t have been able to resist cutting along the butt crack of the double bubble.🍑

[@charitys.3862]

That was really some good acting 😂 I believed it was really heavy! 😊

[@agiles6483]

Watching the agates being cut and seeing the secrets they have inside was magical. The three agates were absolutely worth the money. I could not choose a favorite because they are each a different kind of beautiful. I really hope you will show them after they are polished.

[@OddBall1958]

If you bake Brazilian agate at around 400 - 500 degrees it will turn from blue to orange to red hues depending on how long you bake it for. I cut my slabs to desired thickness then layer them in clean sand and bake for a few hours to desired color.

[@terrynew2056]

You're quite the entertainer Taylor! Thoroughly enjoyed this video especially the math part...hilarious! My favorite is the last one!

[@rondareed6609]

All 3 were beautiful but i think I love the last one best, then the second one which is beautiful too, they all are, I love your enthusiasm and your sense of humor, it's amazing to be able to cut open geodes and other rocks to see what is inside, that's the thrill of it, I love it!! Love from east TN here!!! 🎉😅❤🎉🎉❤😅😊

[@teresakiner9877]

Woo Hooooo! The double bubble agate looks like a VW Bug when cut open! Stunning and whimsical. My favorite of this cutting session.

[@samanthaverduce4517]

Came for the rock inwards, stayed for your pure, excited happiness! I have no idea what you're saying 1/2 the time but I love to hear it anyway!!!

[@valariemeltzer1059]

Yep the bubble butt agate was the best one but my second fave was I believe the first one where one half looked like a candle flame so pretty. The opening was hilarious and that was super convincing you need to be acting lol. You're hilarious and still love your laugh.

[@cutemargo49]

The second one, for sure. I like the idea of piercing through the atmosphere! A slice of that with a light behind it. Your eye would be drawn to it as you walked in the room. ❤

[@melissawhite210]

AgateDad, your videos have inspired me, a rock collector of 6 decades (literally) to cut my rocks and I have been doing that thing. So here is a question though: how do you decide which direction to cut? In the video you referenced that cutting one of those agates in one direction made you feel funny, and I can relate to this. So i guess part of it is experience that leads to intuition? Are there other general ways to at least make an educated guess? I have a ton of agates and other material I have picked up in Mexico and I just don't want to ruin them. I'd love to buy some agate nodules to practice on before getting brave with the stuff I've collected in places I won't be going back to. Do you have recommendations for reliable sources for smallish agate nodules? (Afraid I'm not ready to spring 200$ on the big stuff when I'm not sure about myself yet.)

[@CharlieOkeson]

"Agate got back" 😂🤣 I'm so glad you cut across the crack; I was hoping you would. Your videos always have me laughing with pure joy. Don't ever stop giggling. ✌️

[@jazzychazzy007]

Another great video - so much beauty hidden from the world - thanks for opening it all up for us!

[@elizabethlevister579]

The third one was my favorite.But they were all beautiful.Thank you for letting me watch. I have always been very interested in seeing them cut. I would like to see more.

[@jandelport8953]

The last agate was the butt-end of all the jokes,but so amazing. I would never have ASSumed that it could be so wonderful!

[@vtx2023]

impressive cuts! first one for sure, imo. when it comes to brazilian agates and colours id like bahia agates more - even if they are smaller. the bigger ones always are grey/blueish colored. thanks for uploading, have a nice day y' all. 👍🏻

Wow! I love all 3. Just when I think I have picked a favorite, then I look at the other 2 and change my mind! So all 3 are huge winners!

[@ithilloktecelebiruille2003]

I think the $200 was worth it. I also think those would make phenomenal slabs.

[@user-ec4py4ym2q]

Hi, Taylor! Keep laughing with you at the other side of the Earth.👍👍👍😃😃😃The 1st is my favorite in this lot, though two others are so unique. You have made the most proper cut line for the double bubble.☺ Great!👍

Candy for the eyes...YUMMY. ! They are all amazing! Cool beans :) God Bless, Rebekah

[@lisapfeiffer2266]

I lliked the sparks happening inside the 3rd agate.

You are such a kid! I like that about you. I wouldn't want to chose a favorite because I'll be trying to chose until next Sunday.

[@nikkibranigan7888]

All are gorgeous but I think the last one is my favourite too

[@ethanwalker7865]

Did you overpay for them? At least you got all winners. The teardrop shape one so cool it make me wanny cry.

[@ladygeek6926]

Of course the bunzilian agate got back, it’s the Brazilian default 😂

[@user-nl9id6dm3v]

They are absolutely worth the money! I like shadow banding, so I guess the second one would be my fav.

[@user-jx9qv5in9l]

For $200 at least they were all good! I also thought it was really cool to see the saw and the sparks going through I thought maybe I was just seeing things!

[@kastah]

I kind of liked that grey, white-ish and light bluein the first one, better then number two and three.

[@glamper-jan]

It did! Baby got back. Love it!

[@sarahcelik3738]

The second one is my favorite but the 3rd was a good surprise

[@christabyrd]

Omg aren’t you happy you didn’t make the cut up the crack though. Nice cut on the butt one… a lot of ppl probably would have cut through that line I’d think and you would have ended up with a bad cut because you probably would of been so close to that geo part. Goood cuts on all three the first one would have been so so awesome as a perfect teardrop if it didn’t have that little piece missing!

[@meg2831]

Dang it so hard to pick with these three! They are all so awesome, but i think the second one is my fav.

[@kimdedominicis6893]

Last one can be a “d”, “b”, “p” or a “q” Love your humor!

[@kittykatfarm]

Definitely the double bubble "Wagnerian" agate😂🎉!

[@judyjones2727]

I think you got your money's worth. They are beautiful.

Definitely worth the $200 the last one has to be my favourite because it has a hilarious backside 😂

Agate got back.

[@gentlebear2722]

Looks like an old VW beetle

[@GhostLugia]

[@captainflint89]

i have recently started collecting agates in Kintyre scotland . i have lots of types including rare clyde coast agate coral. i have no rock saw or means to polish them and i would love to see inside them . i have tiny ones and large ones in lots of different colours including carnelian and pink/green and blue whites and reds . can i send them to your po box , i only ask that you cut em and show the insides on your channel

He starts off seeming disappointed by what he got for the price and then just realized he bought straight bangers when he cut them open. Probably could sell them for more than he paid for them

[@gloomed8888]

Pity you couldn't use Queen's big bottomed girl as the music for the last agate.

You mean, “ Fat Bottomed Girls”…. And I completely agree with you. That would have been perfect.

Taylor, The last one was my favorite. Do you ever think you'll be able to get your hands on one of those amazing multi-color agates from Mexico. I know they are pricey, but maybe a small one or two? Cheers, Rik Spector
