I love to watch you and listen to you when you cut these rocks. I love to rock hunt but now i don' get out much any more. I'm 66 and have copd. Watching you reminds me of me when i would rock hunt. I had a dog that went with me and she found rocks. May your future be bright and positive and full of adventures.
That “long” agate at 14:50 reminds me of a mountain range or iceberg or battleship. It is really cool to see how unique these all are. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh! Your excitement is so contagious!! I found myself grinning ear to ear when you opened up that agate that you almost bet your saw away for! Amazing agates! Great video! Thanks for sharing that experience!
This is why imo agates are better than precious gems (diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires) despite not been commercially as valuable, they're all unique which means there's always something new to see
I do a lot of sapphire fossicking and you'd be surprised how different they can be. All the colours of the rainbow. Some with 2 or 3 different colours. It's mind blowing seeing precious gems in your sieve that came out of a dirty creek. But I understand what you're saying. I've bought 7kg of these Malawi agates. Pretty fun to cut 👍🏻
WOW, I love the blue and orange agate!!! Orange and blue being complimentary colors on the color wheel, makes each other stand out more. Beautiful!!! (Which is why grocery stores use a blue background for their oranges display. Makes the oranges look orangier 😊.)
That Rock with the two Geo Pockets that you just showed when you put those two halves together it was shaped like a butterfly oh my goodness those are so beautiful thank you for sharing all your agates and things with all of us and how you cut them mother nature does an amazing job making beautiful things I would take an agate any day over any diamond or precious gems absolutely love❤ agates my favorite Agate is crazy lace agate I have one on my necklace and I wear it everyday it is my favorite necklace to wear
Hello my druid friend from a past life, long long ago. I was so shocked to recognize your soul in the video but to see that you are still working with the elements makes me so happy to see!! You can take the Druid out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the Druid. Wishing you many blessings in this life soul brother! Be Well!! 👋😊
I walked about 4 km on lake Ontario this week-end as the weather was incredibly mild... I collected a few rocks... They were not as beautiful as these agates but the pleasure was the same!!😅 Thank you for sharing these treasures with us. Now I'm always wondering what they would look if they were cut... 😂! Even my vocab has improved!!
Great video:) you can minimize the blowouts while using the vise. I always use one. When the cut is nearly done, slow the speed and pressure down to near nothing, and hold the end sticking out with your hand to subtly guide it through the last millimeter;)
I’m a new sub. I’ve loved collecting rocks since I was a kid. My parents used to joke that I would come home from vacation 50lbs heavier....just in rocks! I don’t know one rock from another. I just like pretty rocks! I have them in decorative glass bowls all over! I love watching you videos! Thank you!
Great video once again. Those cuts were spectacular ... my favorite from this session of cutting is the green one. Like you said, the depth of those bands are incredible That double window is pretty epic Also, I messaged you on IG
In heaven, the stain glass is going to be Agate. The layers of Earth gemstones, and your mansions are going to be made out of precious stone. And Zion's going to be a big Plateau made out of crystalized, clear gold, about the size of the distance between Earth's surface and the moon.
I hope you cut more of the rocks lengthwise, or turn them sideways and go lengthwise, in more videos. It shows more design to us. Also if you turned it on the side, if it's kind of flat, turn it on the side and go down lengthwise instead of across. We would love to see it on both ways on different ones. 🙂 You have found some beautiful stuff. though.
Another excellent video :) I know you're taken and a dad but the fact that you're easy on the eyes with a great voice doesn't hurt either lol HNY 2024!
Green one was way cool. I'm on the coastal bend of TX so my local agates are from Mexico. Crazy lace agates which are awesome, but I'm looking for some of these for future works. Oh ya factures are a pain in the............
