Thanks for watching! Check out all our equipment here linktr.ee/AgateDad

[@PandazAimee88]

Will you be putting the semi circle ones on etsy? I do check regularly but I guess they get snapped up super fast. I'm really drawn to those. Really don't want to miss them!

[@skywatcher6864]

Taylor, how soon before this batch hits your Etsy store?

[@AgateDad]

It always drops the night before

[@PandazAimee88]

@@AgateDad I guess I don't check at the right time then, from the UK.

[@dawnminard218]

Agate Dad I absolutely love your videos. It's a learning experience for me. I am new to finding and collecting rocks although I did like them as a child. But since watching your videos, I'm more aware around my surrounding soul. Of course, I look for rocks everywhere I go. 😂 Even if I'm walking to the mailbox but I have learned so much just from watching your videos and it sharp. Of time. I am better now at spotting a agate Now and of course, I take my tune and half year old granddaughter with me. She also loves rocks. Although she Tries to bring every single rock home, she finds.😂 But now she's getting good at spotty a agate Because winner of your videos, I was just watching. 10 minutes ago, my green daughter. Mia said look, Grandma, he has a agate Rock, so she's getting pretty good herself.

[@AvalonDreamz]

22:40 Shocked to see rainbows in the dark quartz areas! Absolutely beautiful. That was my fav easy, and if I could afford it, I would so wire wrap it into a pendant to wear. It's just so beautiful and unique.

[@leeallen6761]

That was my favorite, too. I am also a wire wrapper. 🤩❤️

[@jazzychazzy007]

I'm sure everyone watching your channel shares the thrill of discovering beauty with you. It's quite the vicarious experience! Thanks.

[@Finefingers74]

I love living vicariously through KZbinrs!❤

[@iolitelight]

I love your choice of the word "thrill"! You got this so right!

[@lisasteel6817]

Absolutely!

[@TheRealBambihooves]

Yes, it is! 😎

[@dawnminard218]

OMG I have learned so much from his channel. I have always been kind of what they call a rock nerd. Actually, my science class back in the day was the Only one I got straight Asian. Because I love science rocks and everything. Now that I recently started collecting rocks and crystals are more aware of what is around me? When I go anywhere loving in northern Michigan and The Ausable Is 100 foot from my bed door and I have found so many amazing agates And all prints are Jasper in other rocks. Spot by watching this channel. I have learned a whole lot. I have been collecting rocks for at least 1 year now and I do have quite a collection. Also I have many honeyholes where there are beautiful rocks. I always invite people if they're in the grayling Lovells Area I always taped round with me to find amazing rocksArea I always taped round with me to find Amazing rocks.🥰

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

It was an honor watching you cut your personal agates. I know it must have been hard, but now you know whats inside and how beautiful they are. Thanks for sharing with all of us! You're AWESOME! 😊

[@CWorgen5732]

That half eye agate is AMAAAAAZIIIING

[@LauraNickolai-yb8id]

The dark ones with the half circles are my favorite. Polished, they look like they have stars in the background.

[@joanthompson8586]

You bring this 70 year rock hound so much joy! If I’m having a bad day all I have to do is watch you! Honey, you do it right! 👏

[@bonnieballew7762]

When you opened the smoky/amethyst agate looked like a butterfly for sure.

[@joanrieser2580]

My favorite is the one that looks like a sunrise inside with the purple ish quartz ❤

[@Angela_Newburn]

The butterfly was my favorite! All beautiful! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@slwtgf]

11:14 LOVE this one…how the heck it get a round half circle in there? For it to remain non disturbed for eon’s , to form that geometry just blows the mind…

[@arkfire5764]

I think the ones with the quartz in them still look pretty cool :)

[@carriegerharz4490]

It’s so cool watching you open these rocks and thinking that every one of them has a different, unique story. Rocks are so amazing!!! Thanx for sharing everything with us! ✌🏻❤️😃

[@poisonappleantiques5710]

I'm a fan of the cloudy stones just as much as the banded ones. Some of them are beautiful when polished- they remind me of foggy nights, where everything is a bit hazy and soft.

[@OutdoorsWithToddP]

My wife & I really enjoy your channel. Especially your excitement when you find or cut a beautiful agate. I wanted to suggest you doing a video where you went out finding cool rocks etc and in the same video cut open the rocks you just found. That would be amazing.

[@austonpreston1305]

The rainbow in the dark quartz really caught me off guard but it is so beautiful! You did beautiful work on these, thank you for sharing these beautiful pieces of Mother Nature

[@michaelhudspeth1104]

Hey Tyler. New subscriber and huge fan....thanks to stumbling across your videos, you've enspired me beyond no belief! So thank you for that. I'm rockhoundin and cutting myself and seriously thinking on goin to school for it.....but I LOVE the dark one with the circles you said looked like a sunset ...I thought kinda looked like an explosion but anyways thank you for everything especially your videos...if not for that I wouldn't have a new outlook on life....keep em comin. You're the best...oh I'm in Kentucky BTW

[@ZiggaRats]

your mixed emotions about cutting these, is super relatable

[@marninegley]

Prettiest agate I’ve ever seen! It looks like a moon set! It’s gorgeous!

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

The agate at 6:44 reminds me of paisley lol. Some unusual ones.

[@darrinwilliams5715]

This video highlights why LSA is so amazing. Every agate has something unique to show, even ones with quartz are beautiful. Thanks Taylor this video is a joy for me, because all the agates were local.😎😎😎

[@Lindaraylong]

I love the half moon one. I never get your videos until the ones you cut are gone already.

[@patriciamckean4186]

That dark beauty looks like a dark butterfly! Superior agates are awesome.

[@matthewwharton1315]

11:23 Eclipse agate?? Gorgeous. Thank you for cutting these babies Edit: Also wanted to say thank you for how you explain what you're doing/thinking! Very helpful insight for a new rockhead. Your videos have really pushed me to deep dive into an interest I've always had. Cheers to you and yours eh

[@kathysausen6493]

I love to hear you laugh!!! I laugh too! These are gorgeous & I watch you all the time you post!

[@cynthiaswain4070]

This was great. Even the so called duds have a special beauty.

[@faydflourite3249]

oof, pullin' my heartstrings with that last cut! 🥹 the lovely thing about it is that it's so all-around beautiful and unique, you can truly display it at any angle and be blown away. the husk is gorgeous, the ultra-orange bands are gorgeous, that teeny agate pocket is gorgeous, and I love how you can see the orange through the quartz pocket. definitely needs a rotating stand! 🤩

[@joang.cavanna2046]

I love the last agate you cut. I love the shading in color. I love the sunset one also - so unique! You do such a great job cutting and polishing. It's so much fun to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@znavyx4823]

I’m going to Lake Superior this Sunday super excited 😍

[@AgateDad]

Good luck!

[@danbeaudry7333]

Fun to watch. What kind of blades do you use. I have a wet saw that I use for tile and marble but am told that I need a different blade for agates

[@tealeweaves]

Comparing the ridges on your fingertips to the bands really puts into perspective how tiny some of them are, it’s incredible

[@camsvideocollections9766]

Great video as always! I still collect old coins, Pokémon cards. I'm 32 and still love it as if I were a kid. Pokémon has taken me over, I have over $12k of individual cards😂

[@naminaoberhausen2131]

Those agates look so beautiful on the inside and polished. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Happy may!. From Jordan

[@lisakaye3935]

11:26 I see Egyptian eyes. Not quite the Eye of Horus. Soo beautiful. Many of the quartz snowflakey rocks also reminded me of frosty winter trees.

[@leannaerickson9745]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful agates. The butterfly agate at 20:40 is my favorite. I wish you'd said a bit more about the beautiful iridescent flashes emanating from the dark upper part. Good work!

[@leannaerickson9745]

Oops! 22:40.

[@kayhagness8348]

The moment you opened the one “butterfly”. I thought instantly of a Polyphemus moth. They have windows in their wings.

[@Magdalena-xp1ih]

That was awesome! Thank you!

[@DrJ4712]

Is there a tiny little amethyst pocket in the quartz on the right half of the last one? It's so cute!❤😊 15:24 Fantastic cutting and polishing session!

[@julietollari4526]

You, sir, are the master agate polisher! I loved to see the before & afters! 🫣Each one was polished beautifully, bringing out the goods from inside. I love them 🩷! Thanks for your hard work, sharing your love of 'Rocks' thru your channel. We rockhounds appreciate it!!😎

[@annaleggans9891]

I just love your child like delight over cool rocks.. It just makes me smile..😊

[@SusanF-z5g]

Can you explain how they get their bands?

[@elainelear4982]

The dark smokey quartz was beautiful, followed by the stone with disappearing bands.

[@felaghumra]

18:24 if you want to avoid the glare when shooting the agates, you should try using a polarizing filter on your camera :-)

[@AgateDad]

Interesting! Never heard of that!

[@danaberger7809]

Awesome... very unique on the inside of all of them.

[@sherrybriggs5459]

I think some of those were so unique and so beautiful

[@dmjack2921]

Cutting open those yellow and orange rocks is a lot like- you've got to kiss a lot of toads...😊

[@deniseview4253]

Good morning 🌞 so pretty but that dark one with the 1/2 circle is beautiful! Even more beautiful after its polish 🤩

[@jamesblake7338]

Beautiful stuff man really enjoyed this one!

[@AgateDad]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@VooV830]

Thank you for sharing your absolutely gorgeous stones. Catch you in the next one.....🫶☺️

[@cindyrebstock2334]

Wow, some really super rocks. The one with the perfect half circle…impressive (amethystish). I hope you don’t regret cutting your faves. The one that was gorgeous that you said was hard to polish…I’m glad you’re keeping 1/2. The first one you cut…amazing!

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@cathypatman1224]

Outstanding video! I personally thought everyone of your Agates were Beautiful before and after cutting. Loved watching! ❤❤❤

[@-hw-]

very pretty

[@nsas54]

Always enjoy your videos! That Quartz one looks like lungs & that interesting banded one that you are keeping looks like a fingerprint. So many unique choices. Great batch!

[@jeanettestefanik5854]

The sunset one is awesome

All beautiful and unique love agates

[@lotusnevermore2279]

@22:40 OMG the rainbows in there! So pretty!

[@vvbbvvbb2595]

Those are some of the most special ones I've seen on your channel 😀 thanks for sharing all this beauty with everyone

[@gypsyjustgypsy]

Wow, they are all so beautiful and so different! Must have been gratifying to take them all the way from rockhounding to final polish. You did a great job on the finish.✨

[@the.nerdy.mermaid]

Ooooo which half of the black quartz/giant eye/french bull dog face are you listing on Etsy? I’m gonna try and snatch one of those up real quick 😂

[@pattijareo7423]

Awesome macro shots! Go Taylor! 😄😄😄

[@peggyallen6084]

This was a wonderful presentation of your polished masterpieces!! They are so incredibly beautiful! Thank you for sharing this awesome video!!❤

[@lynnpierskalla8080]

How much would you want for the French Bulldog eye agate ?

[@kyross12]

22:24 agate is my all-time favorite. Had I'd been a viewer at that moment, i would have raced to purchase that agate to look at forever.

[@MartysRamblings2024]

Good morning sir! My wife(Sonshine Legacy) and I are both on here from Grove City in west central MinneSNOWta! She really enjoys rock collecting. We are hoping to get up to the North Shore soon. You seem to be a super guy and do some cool things with rocks. Have a blessed day!🙂

[@joycewalbert1413]

That "Moon Rise Smokey Quartz Agate" So GREAT!!!!

[@CynthiaSmith4]

all of them are so different and yet beautiful in their own ways.

[@cindyrebstock2334]

I don’t know how I missed this one…but wow on the amethyst one!! Love it! The bulldog!

[@peter990099]

the smoky/amethyst agate is something special and different

[@AccountingbyNature]

I am with you on cutting. My husband and I watch your videos from Canada. Hubby likes to cut them I like to keep them natural especially Lake Superior as they are pretty small up here on the CA side.

[@dragonfye1]

10:45 I LOVE Agates like that, where the Earth just created its own, all natural scenery painting.

[@rikspector]

You can find more Agates, but here in Ferndale/Bellingham ,WA , they are very rare. Count your blessings! Cheers, Rik Spector

[@E.o.t.4637]

All I can say is WOW! Mother Nature can do some crazy things but these??? She nailed it!

[@gabiilleslajosne363]

Gyönyörűek.❤

[@AhJodie]

Very cool video! The music when you cut the one you like so much was great! Thank you! Really fun to listen to you too!

[@lyndapacheco5702]

Thank you for cutting your Lake Superior Agates, so exciting!!!

[@jmcgovern6454]

[@AgateDad]

Thank you!!

[@JeffWeymier]

Thanks for sharing your talents. Beautiful agates.

[@AgateDad]

Thanks boss!

[@danababcock2766]

I really liked that last big one. The quartz looks like waves on a beach.

[@JulesUS8386]

Amazing how beautiful these agates are!❤

[@agavolm4826]

Ooo! Liking that unique multi-dimensional banding in the rust orange one! That actually reminds me of the bisection layers you see fromtaking scale samples in fish! Thinking of sturgeon scales, now.

[@calebdillman8462]

7:40 - dem bands, 11:05 looks like a space scene like a sun or inverse black hole

[@pamjohnson122]

Wow, wow, your channel just popped up and what a thrill!! I'm a northern Wisconsiner and an agate hound my whole long life, it's a family tradition. I've always wanted to slice a lot of my collection, but never thought I could. I want my own saw like you have now!! ❤ 😅

[@marninegley]

I love my agates, like you love your agates! I remember where I found each one! I have not cut any…so I think I might try it after this! So glad I found you! Agate ❤ Forever Baby!! ✌🏻🫶🏻👊🏻

[@janeceeastwood8035]

I treasure my large collection of rocks, even though I have no idea what they are. I don’t think I could bear to cut into them, even if I had the means. Thanks for sharing the fun.

[@ritamccartt-kordon283]

As a Tennessee Gal, that last orange one is SWEET! Go Big Orange!

[@victoriacollado7245]

The one towards the end looks like the solar eclipse!

[@doreendesroches9002]

Absolutely beautiful agates!

[@ZaDussault]

The one at 11:03, I think it's a bubble that collapsed on itself and solidified like that. I find a lot of these in my agate spots and they are other colors, but they look a bit like that, perfectly round with a gradient. They're 100% not that beautiful tho!

[@Keithlynd_]

3:07 & 10:57 are my personal favourites and also 7:35, that one feels like the hard working banding just resign all together.

[@CrystalStewart-b1o]

Lol I love the one the had a dark spot and after you cut it it really looked like butterfly wings, but when you turned it sideways it looked like the sun and the galaxy I called it the beginning of time so beautiful

[@rikspector]

I just finish reading about agates every agate is unique, no two are ever alike, Is that not cool? Cheers, Rik
