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

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for watching everyone! This isn't our entire collection obviously but I wanted to get a good representation in there of all the different types of agates we have and not make the video too long. I probably missed a couple of types but this gives you an idea! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!

Perfeito de Alê Garimpo

Nice fosselize agates.

[@melodyhart2017]

i love learning about these agates,it was just recently that I came to understand where and how agates are formed,thanks to a video from Currently Rockhounding !

[@RockhoundingLife]

It's super cool and interesting! Glad you are finding them informative!

[@mariemoss2475]

The one at 10.48 is my favorite, a close second is the Red Flame rocks ... Wow !!!. What a beautiful collection you have 💕💕

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks Marie! That's the big one we just polished on the Vibralap shown a couple videos ago.

[@mariemoss2475]

@@RockhoundingLife Will have to look that up, I think I missed that video 🙄💕

[@bruninomorin3586]

Wow ! You have an amazing collection of beautiful rocks ! Thanks for sharing !

[@leonacrowley164]

Wow what beautiful stones. Nice conversation pieces. It's amazing how tumbling brings out the colors 😍 ❤. Thanks for sharing.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks Leona!! I have a habit for wanting to tumble every stone we pick up for that reason!

[@darrinwilliams5715]

This may be the best video yet. You guys have some great agates. I could look at your agates all day, and never get bored.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks so much Darrin!! Feel free to watch it over and over!

[@CityRockhounding]

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]

Thanks so much!!

[@hilario6960]

The seam agate ALWAYS impresses. I want to get my hands on a piece. Bay of Fundy is a bucket list place. Maybe 2 buckets. Thanks for the supercool video, vas always !

[@RockhoundingLife]

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks Pamela! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@emzliu8154]

I love all your gemstones amazing colors. Hope to have it someday.

[@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.

[@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.

[@michelleangers342]

Wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful rocks you find and how they got there. Much love to you and yours from Windsor ON.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks Michelle!! Happy Easter to you and your family!

Wow, very impressive! I guess that's what could be called an all-inclusive agate trip? I think my favorites are the Sagenite & Eye varieties; they are incredible. Thanks for sharing and the details as to why you guys have such a buffet of agates in NS, :-)

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks Grant! The great part about it is that we never get skunked on a rockhounding trip!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Every one is so unique! I really love the darker tones... And the eye agates. Have you tumbled any of the pet wood yet? I'm about to post a viddy of my personal display of rocks and minerals I finally arranged all nicely. I realized...i need more shelves! Lol

[@RockhoundingLife]

I haven't tumbled any of the Saddle Mountain pet wood yet. I have something special planned for some of it which i'm hoping to get to in the next month or so.

Thanks Wil! We are lucky indeed!

[@pamgayadat]

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.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I totally agree!

[@judyherman5470]

That's so awesome that you live where you can find some many different kinds of agates. So beautiful!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks Judy! It really is. We are very fortunate!

[@geosobservations9496]

Some amazing stuff... wow I hope I can trip over at least 1 piece as crazy as the stuff you have shown...

[@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!

Wow my dear from Brasil...

[@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.

[@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.
