We Found INCREDIBLE Agate Geodes Inside Fossil CORAL! (And Cut them Open with a Rock Saw)

It is always an absolutely wonderful time cutting open incredible rocks and fossils! In this video, we are cutting open the Florida state stone: agatized coral. These wonderful little geodes also glow under a UV light, revealing beautiful agate banding that is normally invisible to the naked eye (or very faint). These are some of my favorite invertebrate fossils to collect since they are both a fossil and a mineral specimen in one.

Been a rockhound for about 60 years ( I am 69) and have heard of the agatized oyster shells but never seen a good example of those until today. They are fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing this with a “senior” rockhound. Love from South Texas 🤠👍⛏💎

[@barbmcdowell4640]

Would like number. Ome

[@sdgoldpanner]

Been in love with rocks since age 7, now 79 years of age. I completely in love with #1. Basically I am a Fairburn Agate Collector from S. Dakota. I have managed to accumulate 283 Fairburn specimens in my private collection. S. Dakota, is the only place in the world to find Fairburn Agates. Thanks for your videos, they are superb.

[@themindfuldog9363]

My three year-old and I watch your videos every single night before he goes to sleep. It was pretty random that we came across you, but now I find myself becoming interested in all these things, too! We are going fossil hunting in the spring. He is a huge fan!!

[@Dandidandelion]

I like #1. My dad was a scuba diver once upon a time, and he found an absolutely massive specimen of fossilized coral on one of his dives that we put in our garden alongside his many abalone shells. My mom grew up vacationing in FL with family friends and had her own collection of teeth and shells that she had found over the years. When my sister and I were old enough, she shared her hobby with us so we could begin our own collections. Sadly, we lost them to a wildfire here in California, but someday I plan to return to FL with the knowledge I've gained from watching your videos so I can find even more cool stuff!

[@krismatthieu8767]

I’m totally addicted to your channel! I have collected rocks all over the world just because I love them! But what impresses me most about you both is your humor and childlike joy over everything in nature 🥰! It’s so refreshing! Thank you 😊

[@artsinew6572]

What you guys do is truly amazing. This is definitely something I want to do at least once on my bucket list. I’d love #3 so much. It looks sooooo much like a dog to me and would be a beautiful piece to have! Good luck to everyone!!!

[@blcscott7897]

Me also, its looks so relaxing and fun

[@brrjohnson8131]

Thanks for pronouncing _agate_ correctly. That thumbnail is gorgeous!

[@ralphralpherson9441]

11:30 - these agates under the UV-B light remind me of space-scenes, like nebulae and stars... Gorgeous. Little miracles that God/Nature have hidden in nature and we who collect them are the first eyes in 1,000,000+ years to experience these little miracles. Just makes you feel awestruck by nature's beauty. I love rock collecting for this exact reason.

[@cristobalperez2751]

I want number 4 i like your video and i love gems

[@lemurgrl]

More cutting videos, please! The anticipation is delicious, and as always, the enthusiasm you two share is completely infectious. I’d love to be considered for #3… I can just hear it calling out to meet my craft table!

[@jancampbell9052]

Love watching. I am 74 and have loved rocks all my life but wish I had been able to go places to collect myself. Would love any of the ones you’re giving away. What fun!

[@sarahcombs152]

[@dcross58]

Cris & Bri, what you do is truly amazing! I just wish that you would give a little more detail of how you go about finding an area that might have fossilized coral vs dead coral. #2 is my favorite. Thank you!
