I cut open my personally found Lake Superior agates on my lapidary saw and took the best of the best and polished them! Some of these banded gems had beautiful parallax banding, which was amazing to see, especially polished!

Will you be putting the semi circle ones on etsy? I do check regularly but I guess they get snapped up super fast. I'm really drawn to those. Really don't want to miss them!

@skywatcher6864 28 дней назад

Taylor, how soon before this batch hits your Etsy store?

@AgateDad 26 дней назад

It always drops the night before

@user-po5nj1xz9y 26 дней назад

@@AgateDad I guess I don't check at the right time then, from the UK.

Agate Dad I absolutely love your videos. It's a learning experience for me. I am new to finding and collecting rocks although I did like them as a child. But since watching your videos, I'm more aware around my surrounding soul. Of course, I look for rocks everywhere I go. 😂 Even if I'm walking to the mailbox but I have learned so much just from watching your videos and it sharp. Of time. I am better now at spotting a agate Now and of course, I take my tune and half year old granddaughter with me. She also loves rocks. Although she Tries to bring every single rock home, she finds.😂 But now she's getting good at spotty a agate Because winner of your videos, I was just watching. 10 minutes ago, my green daughter. Mia said look, Grandma, he has a agate Rock, so she's getting pretty good herself.

22:40 Shocked to see rainbows in the dark quartz areas! Absolutely beautiful. That was my fav easy, and if I could afford it, I would so wire wrap it into a pendant to wear. It's just so beautiful and unique.

@leeallen6761 28 дней назад

That was my favorite, too. I am also a wire wrapper. 🤩❤️

@jazzychazzy007 28 дней назад

I'm sure everyone watching your channel shares the thrill of discovering beauty with you. It's quite the vicarious experience! Thanks.

@joanrieser2580 28 дней назад

@austonpreston1305 28 дней назад

The rainbow in the dark quartz really caught me off guard but it is so beautiful! You did beautiful work on these, thank you for sharing these beautiful pieces of Mother Nature

@darrinwilliams5715 28 дней назад

This video highlights why LSA is so amazing. Every agate has something unique to show, even ones with quartz are beautiful. Thanks Taylor this video is a joy for me, because all the agates were local.😎😎😎

@bonnieballew7762 28 дней назад

When you opened the smoky/amethyst agate looked like a butterfly for sure.

@joanthompson8586 28 дней назад

@LauraNickolai-yb8id 28 дней назад

The dark ones with the half circles are my favorite. Polished, they look like they have stars in the background.

@lisakaye3935 28 дней назад

11:26 I see Egyptian eyes. Not quite the Eye of Horus. Soo beautiful. Many of the quartz snowflakey rocks also reminded me of frosty winter trees.

@joang.cavanna2046 18 дней назад

I love the last agate you cut. I love the shading in color. I love the sunset one also - so unique! You do such a great job cutting and polishing. It's so much fun to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Those agates look so beautiful on the inside and polished. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Happy may!. From Jordan

@tealeweaves 27 дней назад

Comparing the ridges on your fingertips to the bands really puts into perspective how tiny some of them are, it’s incredible

@cathypatman1224 28 дней назад

Outstanding video! I personally thought everyone of your Agates were Beautiful before and after cutting. Loved watching! ❤❤❤

@nsas54 28 дней назад

Always enjoy your videos! That Quartz one looks like lungs & that interesting banded one that you are keeping looks like a fingerprint. So many unique choices. Great batch!

@slwtgf 26 дней назад

11:14 LOVE this one…how the heck it get a round half circle in there? For it to remain non disturbed for eon’s , to form that geometry just blows the mind…

@julietollari4526 18 дней назад

You, sir, are the master agate polisher! I loved to see the before & afters! 🫣Each one was polished beautifully, bringing out the goods from inside. I love them 🩷! Thanks for your hard work, sharing your love of 'Rocks' thru your channel. We rockhounds appreciate it!!😎

@cindyrebstock2334 28 дней назад

Wow, some really super rocks. The one with the perfect half circle…impressive (amethystish). I hope you don’t regret cutting your faves. The one that was gorgeous that you said was hard to polish…I’m glad you’re keeping 1/2. The first one you cut…amazing!

@patriciamckean4186 28 дней назад

That dark beauty looks like a dark butterfly! Superior agates are awesome.

@E.o.t.4637 26 дней назад

All I can say is WOW! Mother Nature can do some crazy things but these??? She nailed it!

@matthewwharton1315 28 дней назад

11:23 Eclipse agate?? Gorgeous. Thank you for cutting these babies Edit: Also wanted to say thank you for how you explain what you're doing/thinking! Very helpful insight for a new rockhead. Your videos have really pushed me to deep dive into an interest I've always had. Cheers to you and yours eh

@poisonappleantiques5710 15 дней назад

I'm a fan of the cloudy stones just as much as the banded ones. Some of them are beautiful when polished- they remind me of foggy nights, where everything is a bit hazy and soft.

@kellyhollingsworth6100 28 дней назад

The agate at 6:44 reminds me of paisley lol. Some unusual ones.

@Lindaraylong 28 дней назад

I love the half moon one. I never get your videos until the ones you cut are gone already.

@sherrybriggs5459 28 дней назад

@AgateDad 28 дней назад

Thanks boss!

@TarsandSerpents 28 дней назад

My wife & I really enjoy your channel. Especially your excitement when you find or cut a beautiful agate. I wanted to suggest you doing a video where you went out finding cool rocks etc and in the same video cut open the rocks you just found. That would be amazing.

@faydflourite3249 28 дней назад

oof, pullin' my heartstrings with that last cut! 🥹 the lovely thing about it is that it's so all-around beautiful and unique, you can truly display it at any angle and be blown away. the husk is gorgeous, the ultra-orange bands are gorgeous, that teeny agate pocket is gorgeous, and I love how you can see the orange through the quartz pocket. definitely needs a rotating stand! 🤩

@peggyallen6084 28 дней назад

@elainelear4982 18 дней назад

The dark smokey quartz was beautiful, followed by the stone with disappearing bands.

@danababcock2766 27 дней назад

I really liked that last big one. The quartz looks like waves on a beach.

@leannaerickson9745 26 дней назад

Thank you for sharing your beautiful agates. The butterfly agate at 20:40 is my favorite. I wish you'd said a bit more about the beautiful iridescent flashes emanating from the dark upper part. Good work!

@leannaerickson9745 26 дней назад

Oops! 22:40.

@AccountingbyNature 24 дня назад

I am with you on cutting. My husband and I watch your videos from Canada. Hubby likes to cut them I like to keep them natural especially Lake Superior as they are pretty small up here on the CA side.

Wow, wow, your channel just popped up and what a thrill!! I'm a northern Wisconsiner and an agate hound my whole long life, it's a family tradition. I've always wanted to slice a lot of my collection, but never thought I could. I want my own saw like you have now!! ❤ 😅

@gypsyjustgypsy 28 дней назад

Wow, they are all so beautiful and so different! Must have been gratifying to take them all the way from rockhounding to final polish. You did a great job on the finish.✨

@felaghumra 28 дней назад

18:24 if you want to avoid the glare when shooting the agates, you should try using a polarizing filter on your camera :-)

@AgateDad 28 дней назад

Interesting! Never heard of that!

@danbeaudry7333 27 дней назад

Fun to watch. What kind of blades do you use. I have a wet saw that I use for tile and marble but am told that I need a different blade for agates

@MartysRamblings2024 28 дней назад

Good morning sir! My wife(Sonshine Legacy) and I are both on here from Grove City in west central MinneSNOWta! She really enjoys rock collecting. We are hoping to get up to the North Shore soon. You seem to be a super guy and do some cool things with rocks. Have a blessed day!🙂

And then the rigged his angle grinder on to a table for and I polished my first agate! But now I'm wondering if I should start sharing mt cuts and projects on RU-vid Or IG? 🤔🙃
