3.3 lb Rare Agate Found & How Agates are Formed! 

Awesome big agate; thanks for doing the research on agate formation!

One of the best videos on agates I’ve seen, and a few of the comments are equally informative. I live in Minneapolis and mostly hunt around town... nothing bigger than 3 oz., but found my first agates in rhyolite yesterday, and now understand that I keep reaching for rhyolite when looking without benefit of the sun to assist me.

Just came across your channel. very cool find you have there I hope to make up to lake superior some day to hunt for some agates. been a rock hound most of my life and did not even know they existed. looking forward to more of your videos.

What a day at the beach! Good eye, Angel! The rocks @11:33 and @11:42 look to be incomplete agates in Matrix and are classified by some as "Agate Geodes". How lucky for you to find them so exposed and still in Matrix! @12:14 looks like it might be a "Fragmented Agate". These are created when the agate is only partially formed(basically an agate geode at this point) and the vesicle(gas bubble) is cracked or broken and then filled and finished over time, with either quartz or agate/chalcedony. @12:52 looks like it may be a beach tumbled "Peeler Agate". Did you keep it, and if you did, have you cut it open yet? It may have a beautiful surprise inside if it is a "peeler". Great video, awesome finds! Thank You for sharing this adventure... and, as always, Good Luck, Have Fun, and Keep on Houndin'. Steve...

Hello Deon, Been a while....Really like your channel!!!!
