This is the best explanation of the effect that I have ever seen. Makes me wonder about all the different kinds of light sources you could use to illuminate these agates. UV, polarised and different lasers beams.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thanks, I really appreciate that feedback from you. It would be amazing to try some different light sources. I know that the quality of light makes a huge difference to how you see the Iris Spectrum. White, cold, led doesn't seem as good as warmer incandescent bulb, at least with my limited experience. Seeking a good backlight was the extent of experimenting though it should be fun to try some other things. Thanks for watching!

[@scottlambright9315]

Awesome beautiful rainbows thanks for the opportunity and dig the collaboration

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thanks, Scott! Theo and I discussed the Iris Agates until the cows came home, then went back out again so he decided to send me some. Meanwhile, while that box was posted, I had discovered my own in that limb cast. It was a funny coincidence! We'll be doing more collabs, that was a blast. Thanks for watching and you're entered in the giveaway, good luck!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Myyyyyyyy goodness!!!! They never get easy to put down do they. And I reckon you have gone above and beyond in showing their true astounding beauty Karen! And you actually found one in your stuff too, not only an iris but a rainbow banger!!!! So much good info and just rad to watch! Thank you Karen you legend!!!!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Can't put them down is totally a problem! I'm already contemplating part two with a pile 😂. They have incredible inherent beauty, it wasn't me, they did all the work! I was astonished at the one limb cast that lit up like crazy and now I'm hooked on finding more. I hope that you found some lovely color as well, can't wait to see the spectrum Jesse style!

Iris agate is amazing!! The earth contains so many beautiful treasures for us to find and behold

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

So true, Becky, it's seriously amazing. It's also pretty incredible that we can find something so precious, like an opal, locally. My mind was literally blown when I found that I had some sitting in my rock piles for years. There are so many beautiful treasures to discover, so awesome that we can. Thanks for watching and you're entered in the upcoming giveaway, good luck!

Dude. Great editing, so funny! What a fantastic job explaining this phenomenon. You smarty pants. You really got a winner with that last piece. That is fancy!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thanks! I'm really hoping you find some on the treasure volcano, I mean, it has everything else it might as well have some iris! Sorry it took so long to reply, Maker's Challenge has me on the ropes. Of course you're entered in the giveaway and hope you're getting some happy hunting in. Cheers!

[@susanmorseart4984]

I was stunned by the little ones being the most colorful. They remind me of an opal but better. That should be classified as a gemstone in my eyes. You did a beautiful job showing them off. Thank you and of course Theo.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

I totally agree! We joke about who's queen of the kingdom; opals or Iris Agates or...??? I agree about them being gemstones, they're highly precious in my book and I believe the market reflects it somewhat as well. Thanks for watching and enjoying!

What a gem of a video! Just watched your Makers Challenge video a moment ago here as I'm making some homemade chicken noodle soup. After these two amazing videos I don't think I can watch another video today as nothing could hold a candle to them 😆. Lol ok ok. Montana agates have always been my favorite. But, these Montana Iris Agates are definitely the world's most beautiful agates imho. I've learned so much about them from Theo and yourself. From watching the podcasts and all the fantastic guests and you wonderful hosts. I loved the part with your guys dogs sending off and receiving the boxes. You explained everything so well.. Top notch video, Karen!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

MMMMMmmmmm homemade chicken noodle soup! And add Iris agates and you're in pleasure overload, lol! Those Montana Agates that produce the Iris are really amazing, it was an Oregon Limb Cast that did the big color at the end (and that came totally out of left field!). I think they're the worlds most beautiful agates too, hands down. Thanks for all of your kind compliments and for watching. You're entered in the upcoming giveaway so keep an eye out for the next video, that'll be the announcement and good luck!

Thanks mucho, Theo. You've started a serious affliction for so many. All of those pictures were straight out of the camera too, I didn't have to manipulate them at all.

Thank you so much! I know you'll be cutting your agates but worry not, we'll nab some more, I know where to go! 🤣 Yeah, I'm a peahen too, gotta grab that spectrum.

[@silverback5033]

Hi Karen, some great pieces of iris agate. Your descriptive dialogue is second to none as always,very interpretive. I had a thought while watching which needs “someone” with an artistic bent to ponder it further. I was thinking how good would they look as a “mobile” type light, with each segment of the light, lit by an individual beam(led) from a centre light source. That would be an interesting light. 🌈 Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thank you for your very generous words. I love your idea! I'm sure I'll be pondering it now, I think you may have to be Theo to have enough Iris to make that happen 😂.

Iris agates are beautiful, even the agate slabs with no rainbows are gorgeous! By the way you are great storyteller in your videos. Do you think my agates from Kentucky would have that effect?

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thank you, Dan! You're right, on any other day, those other slabs, from the limb casts, would be super rewarding. Why would you ever be disappointed in that? Unless you're looking for rainbows, lol. Thanks for the compliments, I really appreciate it. I think your agates have a chance; you need tight fortifications (which Kentucky agates surely can have) they need to be pretty translucent though, and the bigger the specimen the better. Those last two might be the challenge for your agates, maybe, don't know what you're finding, lol! Thanks again for watching and good luck finding!!!

It seems like most of the color showed when the light was behind the stone. Does it also appear when lit from the front or would it need a mirrored back?

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

The color with Iris agates is mostly contraluz (backlit) like the contraluz opal. Since it's refractive, it can appear from multiple angles just depending on the mineral configuration but it seems most commonly and brightly from the back. Thanks for watching!
