Our AGATE Collection | AGATE Variety in Nova Scotia and Why it Has So Many

In his video I show some of our Nova Scotia Bay of Fundy Agates from our collection in order to give you an idea of the variety of agates we find here in our region. Midway through the video I give an graphical explanation as to why we have such a wide variety of agate types. I couldn't show all of our agates so I tried to get a good representation of some agates you may not have seen before on our channel or elsewhere. The video is a bit longer than usual so I have broken it out into sections so you can navigate through it better (see below). Otherwise just kick back and enjoy these amazing agates! THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

First... wow! Second... gorgeous! Third... probably the best variety of agates collection I've ever seen and I've watched a lot of different channels. Forth... what a huge collection, I have 5 agates and you need a microscope to see any banding. Thanks for sharing these amazing pieces.

@@RockhoundingLife you are very welcome, but I want to thank you, as you’ve been such a motivation to me as I’ve learned so much from your channel, I now have a high tech diamond slab saw, and I just ordered an All you need flat lap as well, used your code and saved a bunch of money on some extra disks and blades, take care thanks again, hope to see you guys on beach sometime. I have now got my extended family interested in tumbling and rock hounding,a seven year old nine-year-old and 11-year-old this is awesome. Thanks Wayne.

@@waynehaslam.thatwasawesome5464 Thanks for using our code for your purchase! If you ever need any help with the machines let me know and i'll be more than happy to share my experiences with them.

[@mitchgillilan]

wow this is just awesome! I actually found my first sagenite agate here in Oregon a few weeks ago! I love how the sprays shoot out radially from all directions. These are all really beautiful, your polishing looks just phenomenal! Thanks for showing :)

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks Mitch! Our sagenite agates are mostly chaledony replacement of natrolite and stilbite crystals. If you can find one that isn't too worn down from the beach you can get some spectacular spray patterns in different colors.

[@moonstruck581]

Incredible collection can’t decide which Agates I like the best, tube Agates, flame Agates, all so beautifully polished. I think my favorites are the Agates that are polished and also show the natural way they were found. 👍

[@RockhoundingLife]

I like the natural/polished look too. Just like they were found wet on the beach.

Think my favourites are the cycads. Love the colours and how they are formed to give us these beauties. Don’t know how I would leave that place. Amazing.

[@geosobservations9496]

Thank you for the explanation I always used to pick up fancy stuff at the beach as a kid and always told to leave it nothing quite extravagant as you have shown... im on the other side of the bay... these videos have all inspired me to pop out and get hunting again... my boys are loving it and I'm starting to make pendants for my daughter😃... safe journeys 🤗

[@RockhoundingLife]

There's tons of it out there!

[@khaledadams4329]

I really got a lot out of your explanation of the basalt shoreline of the Bay of Fundy. I live on the NB side and, although we find lots of interesting fossils, I travel to the NS side to look for the interesting agates.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes I've heard that as well.

[@brentjodrey5114]

❤❤❤❤

[@LSAgates]

I really enjoyed your explanation of why the agates are there in the bay! Almost identical to how Lake Superior Agates formed and came to be. We just had the added Glacial action. Is the only reason that you find them die to wave action or was there previous glaciaction in the area?

[@RockhoundingLife]

There was glaciation in the area but the basalt cliffs are the source and are eroded away by the tides.

[@LSAgates]

@@RockhoundingLife Very cool! The basalt here in MN along the northern shore of Lake Superior is the source of ours. Glacial activity is the only reason we find them where we do.
