My personal story and insane cutting results with Dryhead Agates!

#gemstone #agate #usa
Hi guys, in this video I talk about my personal story with Dryhead agates from USA. I will tell you about the plan to invest in the Dryhead Agate Mine, as well as all the difficulties and different opinions. Later in the video I cut open 7 particularly great Dryhead Agates with my Stonemaster S45 and show you the incredible results!

Thank you for the wonderful manner that you explain and show how you make the decisions in how you make your cuts .

[@JeffWeymier]

I'm glad you were able to secure some of these for yourself. They are amazing.

Im sorry to hear that your partnership didn't work out. Sounds like you came away with a workable backup plan at least. Can't wait to see more beautiful Dryheads! Just seeing agates is quite a stress relief for me.

Wow, I am sorry to hear the Dryhead project did not work out. It is great to hear that you are able to bring a few tons of this material to market though. The pieces you cut in this video are lovely. I hope you did not throw away the scraps, it looked like there was good cab potential in the thin bits.

Wow, those 2 with the amethyst are amazing! Both of them came out beautifully.

Some beautiful pieces!

A most interesting video story Joshua. Very well done! Thank you for sharing your adventure into the possibility of restarting the Dryhead Agate mine. Mining always requires all the stars to align before success, and most times, they don't. It takes a brave person to walk away from a bad financial investment, but you did so for the right reasons. If a partnership (of any kind) seems forced, best ask yourself if it's worth continuing with.

Stunning

Das sind ja wieder wunderschöne Achate, die Farben sind wunderschön. Schade wenn sie dann Risse haben.

[@megattack2424]

So is the wrong layer being dug now?

[@joshuaritter-agatebay]

No. It was just the start of the dig trying to figure out on where to intensify mining efforts.

[@kylegawron5358]

make cabs from the last agate you cut, the agate part of it.

[@kylegawron5358]

what makes an agate worth a lot of money? I finished cutting about 5 pounds of malawi agate nodules, just don't have a machine to polish them. Also where do you get your agate nodules from?

[@joshuaritter-agatebay]

I mine them and work in bulk deals with miners and other dealers. Check out my other videos. A few months ago I released a video specifically dedicated to the value of Malawi agates. 😊🥳

Crap, the best one sold already😢

What a pity with your project. This man got the gold faevor. In the old times they would kill a partner for a gold vain! You got away in time.
