Do you do this full time as a job?

[@joekidd8013]

Hey Taylor i just got a hi-tech flat lap and i am having a problem not sure what to do. I use the 80 grit to get my slabs flat but when i go to next grit i have to reflaten the stone with that grit. It grinds in the center like the center is high. Is it something i am doing wrong?

[@danacataldi5119]

I am a nurse and when i see the cut rocks, they always remind me of a body part. That blurry mozambique looks like an Xray of a kidney. LOL!

[@SGT.BROKEN]

That's awesome

[@LauraNickolai-yb8id]

It continues to amaze me how some people can look at rocks and say *this* one will be beautiful inside.

[@user-kn5vn7oy8q]

I started taking my kids mining when my oldest was 5 and my youngest was on my back at 1 💪⛏️❤️ I now am the proud owner of umteen THOUSAND heart shaped rocks and many septors, beautiful vugs with clear and milky quartz crystals….

[@cindyrebstock2334]

Wow, some real beauties. O love Malawi mossy agates. The Moroccan ones were amazing. Mozambique with the hint of amethyst…yes! The ice cave is so unique! The double Botswana agate and the one with the platelets!!! Awesome! Love your son’s picture and “gift” for you!!!❤

[@wendydurrant7691]

Oh wow! The morroco agates were my favorite! Thanks again for an amazing cutting session.

[@kelleydavis1228]

The rich colors of each area of country are beautifully culminating in these gorgeous stones. Moroccan stones are my favorite.

[@BeccaBeeMe]

Awe, I was sooooooo sad to see this one end!! 🥺 Loved every moment, Agate Dad, thanks for sharing this with us!! You're a blessing!! 💝

[@Mike.A21]

Boswana agates are so sic the contrast and depth are phenomenal only thing is that they always seem to have fractures... still got to love them!

[@oxfordsausage508]

Love these videos so much. It just makes me so happy every time you open them up. Agates! They are so amazing. Thank you! Cheers from England

[@utek3420]

Thank you so much for sharing all these with us. I LOVE rocks, and watching your videos is very satisfying and entertaining.

[@KrisBarber65]

I use Botswana Agates making a lot of my jewelry! Have always loved them! The beauty of nature never fails to amaze me.

[@meg2831]

I love it when the 2 halves have different patterns. It just shows you picked a really good spot to cut in order to get the maximum uniqueness out of it.

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

It's so cool seeing agates from different countries! They are all different and beautiful! 😊

[@sharonivory6788]

Those last two Mozambique agates were mind blowing!! I love all your video...thanks for allowing us to share in the excitement of the reveal together!!❤❤❤

[@amandatrent7869]

I just love your laugh! Warms my heart 💓

[@ashleydp91]

Holy Smokes! Those Morocco agates! Definitely can't pick a favorite cut on this one! Soooo much beauty! 😊 Rock on! ❤

[@pjwo40]

First Botswana agate is my favorite, maybe ever!

[@monaluiza]

❤same

[@JDubyafoto]

Moroccan agates are some of my favorite. The banding variety and colors are a delight!

[@karlahall9058]

I love the green at the bottom ❤

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

Amazing agates, so much variation, so many colours, the one with the bright green moss at the bottom, the platelets...the snow scene, so many were strongly 3D too. Loved seeing each and every one!

[@melissabuck6888]

I absolutely love the magic revealed when you open a rock! Keep up the great work !

[@billiejofrance2526]

That first one from Botswana is a once in a lifetime agate!! WOW! 😮❤

[@haze19931]

The heart shaped(after cut) @ 15.15 is AMAZING! Def a fave!

[@janehelbert7551]

The 1st Bot was my favorite!

[@jamesblake7338]

Awesome cutting session! Some real beauties!

[@stephaniepatterson5634]

Do people send you their found agates or do you purchase them raw to cut and polish? These are beautiful! I love the, “God’s fingerprint” way of describing them. Couldn’t agree more!

[@dawnwilkinson8717]

So difficult to have a favourite when there were so many beautiful agates but I think the one with 'snowflakes' may be the one. Thank you so much for sharing your videos they do bring me joy. 😃😃😃

[@Ch3rryBomb769]

If your goal is spending joy, I believe you’ve achieved that many-fold!! Not only do I receive joy from the learning, the beauty of the rocks and the thrill of the hunt, but also from your informative and engaging content!! You are funny and never fail to make me smile. And one last thing….good taste in music and excellent editing skills!! 🔥 ❤️

[@kastah]

I love African agats. I bought some cut Geodes when in Morocco, they are so lovely. No Agats but one geode have grey sparkling, small tentacles inside and one is whitish/yellow and like sparkling glass-pieces inside, they are so beautiful. And I also bought some fossils. Nice to watch thank you.

[@janewasson4845]

Hi, AD! New, ignorant rockhound here! Really enjoying and binging on your channel. But l feel dumb as a stump. Took geology, have a ton of rock ID books, bowls of stones, but still can't figure out how to tell a good rock from a meh rock. Working on it. My uncle lived in Seattle,, had a saw, huge tumbler, a rock workroom, pails of stones everywhere. He and my aunt traveled everyplace. Brazil for amethysts, Australia for opals, crystals in Arkansas...once, they were hunting rubies in a low creek in Burma, looked up, and there were tribesmen watching, who did NOT want them there-despite permission. I live in an area rich in geodes and am trying to figure those out, too. Sorry to run on, but so glad l found your channel! 🌻

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

I’m definitely becoming more and more of an agate fan, I love the uniqueness of each one. I’m sure that you will do a follow up to show them at their full potential. You have an up and coming artist in the family too cute little drawings.👨🏻‍🎨❤

[@Jeppesen76]

I definitely enjoy all your videos. Not only are the agates stunning, but your joy and enthusiasm is contagious 😍I’m always looking forward to new videos from you.

[@deborahjudyboucher1072]

I just love watching your video. I even sit closer to my lap top to get a closer looks at the stone. They're where some real beauties. Such a joy to watch.🤗

So the first Botswana you cut brought out the Trekkie in me. Reminds me of the character Qwark's ears from Star Trek Deep Space 9!

[@jeremyparrott3713]

Your joy when cutting agates is infectious. It's relaxing to watch your videos. What got you started?

[@Finefingers74]

Thanks Taylor for the videos because they do indeed bring me joy! I think my favourites today were the Malawi agates, they were such weird looking nodules (or whatever they are called) but boy did they pack a punch on the inside! ❤

[@JeffWeymier]

Loved it. Time to watch it from the start. I missed the beginning.

[@maryzefo3801]

I'm loving every single one of these the one right before 12 minutes that was playing on the outside and when you opened it oh man that is the Beautiful I love the little ones

[@hammer8809]

Pretty good score all up, very nice, my favorite is the butterfly type one with the green, gold etc. down the bottom.

[@bethterry4943]

I usually color while I'm watching these videos but this one had all my attention. So many intriguing reveals! Our Earth is amazing ❤

[@AgateDad]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@amandatrent7869]

Those Mozambique nodules look like potatoes, regular AND red potatoes lol.

[@shirleybess1457]

Loved this one. Keep it up. i always enjoy watching you cut and polish.

[@izzywizzy416]

Such beauties hard to pick a fave here (I love frogs) 😆 one of them looked like a map of America and the shadow one with the gold streak in the quartz made me think of the creation of Adam. Look forward to seeing these so much. Thank you and best wishes to you and your little family 🍎 🚙 🪨 😂

[@JensensAdventures]

Man so many beautiful agates! I think my favorite would be the one at 15:30, but very hard to choose, I think I liked the green in with it, thanks for sharing with us!

[@laurieowen8696]

I'm seeing butterflies 🦋 again❤

[@luckyotter623]

Wow! I get as excited as you do looking at the insides of these beauties!

[@maggiesfarm7970]

[@AgateDad]

Welcome back!!

[@oldageisdumb]

My hubby had some of those creepy stick people drawn on his white board in his office at work by our son and he kept them there for years 😆

[@theresaherrrera8224]

Those where amazing.....My favorite was the one with purple 💜 😂Then the one after it..... The white one....that would look amazing in a necklace 😍 😍😍😍😍

[@RodneyPike]

Stunning!! 🏆

[@alexm495]

another satisfying video, thanks A.D.!.. here's an idea for that Botswana with the pocket and fractures (so nice apart from that).. cut into smaller pieces and put in a rock tumbler? Not sure if you wanna get into all that, but I love perfectly smooth Botswana nuggets, even small ones..

[@janehelbert7551]

The 1st Morocco was my overall winner!

[@3New6Horizons9]

I love the green butterfly agate 😋🦋

[@japhyryder66]

Another fabulous video! Thank you so much for all you do, Taylor!

[@cathypatman1224]
