- On this lapidary adventure, I cut open 20 Australian agates, take all the premium ones and polish them! I cut these on my 6" Hi-Tech Diamond saw and polished them with my 8" Cabking. Many of these polished agate creek agates are available on my Etsy! Equipment and my store linked here: linktr.ee/Agat...

Thanks for watching, you rock! 🪨
You Rock!!! We Love your videos!
It's a gneiss day, don't take it for granite!
Well I rock because Agate the moves 😎
Such beautiful colours particularly this batch.
Some of the fractured ones are so pretty that they are still desirable. Perhaps they could be offered in small batches of 'unpolished, wonky & broken ones' at a bargain price, maybe with some materials for hand polishing them, to bring out the best in them?
I ran across your channel a few days ago and I have been binge watching. Never in my 73 years did I ever think I would be interested in someone cutting apart rocks. I never expected the beauty that hides inside rocks. Thank you for showing me just how beautiful mother nature can be. The very best part of your video's is the joy that come from you when you open a rock and the inside is just beyond beautiful. Thank you again for making these video's. Don't stop. You are showing people like me how wonderful Mother Nature can be.
You’re so kind, I’m so glad our paths crossed and you get to see this passion :) it’s so wonderful!
I can't stop binge watching it's awesome😊
He is fun to watch, isn't he?
Love all Tello me if is posible to get some of your leftobers?
If so, Tell me how
As a colorblind person I love when you talk about the colors that are inside. It helps me better understand what I’m seeing. No pressure to include this in your videos but I’m just pointing out the fact that I enjoyed it.
Cold wet miserable day today in the UK so I've been binge watching your vids. I love the way you always say "we" as in "we found or we cut " . Makes us feel realy included . Love the channel it gets better and better so keep going 😊
Those are some beautiful pieces. Some of those slabs would make beautiful jewelry. I’m 75, but would love to be able to do that. My grandson has been interested in this stuff since he was 5. He’s 18 now, how I would love doing this with him. He will be starting college this fall. He’s mom makes jewelry and I can see how adventurous this would be for both of them. However, life !
A simple suggestion: sell the fractured ones, and the Junk ones as decoration for fish tanks
I’d definitely put them in my fish tank!!
You have to be kinda careful with that, sometimes the composition can be toxic with water! But you can test that so maybe! Or non toxic branish with it
No part of a crystal is junk, I would prefer the word add smooth Stones are preferred for aquarium tanks not sharp jagged bits that could hurt either the fish could have the fish foraging for food or the person who is going to clean out the tank eventually. Just saying.
That's a great idea!!!
Your videos have inspired my soon to be 8yr old niece to be a rock hound!! Looking to get her first tumbler!! These rocks are beautiful.
That is awesome!!! Tell her to keep looking down!
I love the reveal laugh when opening the real stunners. Like pure joy!
And I always smile with him. Gosh they are all so beautiful
The thing I love about your channel is the level of genuine excitement when you find something cool. And that you don’t lie about what you find. I cannot believe that those fake channels who find gold and precious “glass”.
I never met a rock I didn't like; most of them, I absolutely love!
Thank you for sharing these amazing Agates!
My grandson ani I love your show! Today we placed our first order from your shop and KJ said to get him a gift from your shop for each birthday, he is only 8 now, haha. We have buckets of rocks from our travels…no idea what they are, just liked the color/shape.
It’s like opening a bunch of Christmas presents! I like to see what shapes the bands make. I’ve seen the outline of continents, rain drops, birds in flight. What guides you to cut one direction or another, if you don’t have any “windows” on the outside. I am loving watching you do this.
It's so interesting to me that there were so many that show orange and yellow as the main colors. I think about Australia and its enormous desert, and what is the palette? Just like those agates! You have a bit of Uluru right there in your hands. How amazing is that? Man, I'd love to do what you are doing! 😉😄
Your channel has captured my attention for sure. My father was teaching me lapidary when we lived in Japan in the early 1960s. I really liked doing it. My favorite of these stones is the one you call the ghost. Such pretty color.
What a beautiful set of agates ❤. I just can't pick one as my favorite. That feathered agate reminds me of flames; so unique. Great job ☺️
Yes, a lot of beauties.
Gosh the "ghost looking one" at 22:54 tickles my goth-girl heart. I love the white-red with dark shadows. A nice vampire esthetic ♡
Beautiful agates.
Yes they are!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Those are stupendous agates! How did you procure them? Inquiring minds want to know!
Those are some amazing agates. I absolutely love the ocean scene with the clouds and the black and red never seen an agate like it nor the comet ones. That hot orange that you also kept was absolutely stunning. And the one where you could see all the way inside through the quartz so awesome.
BEAUTIFUL, ALL OF THEM!!! ~thank you for sharing~ please dont stop doing this ~ I love watching you cut open all your rocks~ i never knew this existed and im blown away with all their beauty~ just WOW!!!
I wire wrap various stones and shells. Love the 1st red, and blue/red gobstopper. That final 1 is pretty.
I am an absolute newbie, a seasoned mineral specimen dealer and quartz hunter. I am in the process of restoring a small slab saw and can learn a lot from you.
They take your breath away!
Gotta love the branding....reminds me of the beautiful Tree Band looking agates i used to find at lake Superior/ Duluth area.
The one that you are keeping with the water levels underneath the quartz reminds me of the ceramic chicken pots for keeping eggs.😊Thanks for all the hardwork Taylor.
They are absolutely beautiful! Perfectly polished.
Love this, my danish grand dad vas a jeweler, and love to use agat in his work. I Have foure 18k goldring with agat inley...love it... greetings from Norway
Thank you for your passion!
I love rocks. We are always hiking along the river and I’m always collecting .. I was telling my husband he needs to get a table saw so he can cut the rocks I find lol
The color contrast in that 3rd one!😍
I just purchased the "comet" looking agate! As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it! So happy I was able to snag a lovely piece from you! All of these are amazing!
No, YOU rock!
Thanks for these videos. They help lower my blood pressure.
Those are stunning...even the ones that broke and that you said were junk. The colours are amazing.
We love your videos. Greetings from Spain.
How do you ever identify which rocks are agates??? Some just look like ordinary rock on the outside.
I don’t know how I can across your videos but it’s addictive! Much of it is because you’re so excited by what you do. 🙂
I'm 178 years old and love your channel
What's your secret?
Absolutely beautiful agates.. amazing what is on the inside. Thanks for sharing your rocks 🪨 with us all ❤️
Those red shades are just incredible!
Amazing SCORE!! Congratulations. Those are all so cool!!
Never would I have thought cutting rocks in half would be so cool! 😎
Right?!
Wow! Those are so stunning! I love the colors! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing an amazing video see you next time.✌️☺️
You are a talented gems cutter, yet a nice and humble great person!
Great eyeballs, but the yellow and orange comets are my favorites
I love your enthusiasm. Makes you fun to watch. Keep it up.
とても綺麗な石達ですね😊👍💖
私は日本人です。
石が好きで時々海に石拾いに行きます。
石を切る機械がないのでリューターを使って拾った石を切ります。
どんな表情をした石に出会う事が出来るか心が踊る時間です。
たまにですが、美しい模様の石に出会う時がありますがその時はとても感動します😊💖🥹
配信有難う御座います🙏💖
視聴楽しみにしています😊💖💕💕💕💕💕
That looks like a pickle 😊
They are all so beautiful I'm amazed to see a simple rock, can look so incredibly beautiful
I came accross with your channel and it’s really amazed me how God made all everything beautiful, i keep Praising HIM for His creation, keep up the good work! God bless you. Watching from Dubai.
No se si me entiendan pero veo muy pocos like para nuestro friend, COMEEEEEE ON, GIVE HER LIKE GOD BLESS YOU AMÉRICA, saludos desde Cuba la Isla cárcel
Just came across your channel and I'm addicted to your rocks😂 and your excitement is over the top, I just had to sub. You Rock
lots of agate creek stones are fractured from sitting out in the hot desert. They are fantastic when good though! My favorite ones.
That little jellybean 🌟🌟🌟🤩😍
#3 FANTASTIC!! Stunning is right!
Stunning! That one that faded yellow and orange reminds me of Angel 🪽 wings
I spent 3 years in Queensland went to alot of shows and caught up with alot of other agate heads, I recon I picked up 400lb of agate creek agates, I love them. 🤫
Great video!!! I wish you would have tumbled the one with the blue spots! And to cut a deeper slice in the one with the yellow tubes. Anyways, one of the best vids ever! Keep on going
When you opened the 3rd one i actually swore and number 5 was beautiful
First one a beauty. Surprise! I had a big smile when I saw that too. lol
I also ran across your channel recently. This is so fun to watch. I notice you cut everything in half, do you ever do slices? And can you provide more direction on how and why you choose to cut in certain directions. THANKS !
Merci Dad😊
I've just subscribed! Watched just one of your videos and found it so educational and interesting! Love finding out what's inside! Thankyou for making these videos.😊
the first one, cut perfection. 2 different sides in the center
third one, side by side looks like insect eyes
#8, awesome. the different yellows
#11, you did it again. straight down the middle(how do you swing that so often)
#12, crystal on 1 side, milky on the other
#14, WOW. looks like 1 half of a fire yin/yang
#18, sweet
#19, what if you ground off some of the husk to give it more light?
#20, i like. its like a stormy warning night colour
Beautiful precious stones! My aussie hubby refered to his bollocks as his "agates!" 😂
10:19….. how perfect to see that today…. Looks like a colorful jellybean ❤
I think it looks like a shooting star its so nice
It's wonderfull!!! Thanks so much
I totally love your channel. You got me so interested in rocks (well, I guess the love for it was always there but your channel awoke it!). Just a side question/observation, have you ever thought of selling small packs of chips and fractured agate? I know as a creative person, I’d definitely buy some for small natural stone jewellery making. Chips etc are already to size for small projects, and already cute as. Seems sad for some of today’s fractures to go to waste! Anyway, keep up the great channel! I was so excited for today’s one (Aussie here) and it did not disappoint!
The water level ones & the one you said looks like tubes but didn’t get to the top.
I would just want to keep them ALL! ❤
Nice gemstone❤
Uživam vas gledati,obožavam minerale i sama ih imam,naprijed i snimajte dalje,lijep pozdrav
Sweet!!!! Love it
Rock on!
10:40 i gasped at this rock. Like how can that be so beautiful? It’s really what’s on the inside huh. 😂
The one fractured one looks really unique.
I could be wrong but in my experience, it seems like you put a little too much pressure on your stones when you push them into the saw blade. I say this because they always appear to break out at the very end. This could be contributing to the blade going bad. hope this helps you out some. You always have some good looking rocks.
I like the supper fractions one
I love the jelly bean as well. Can I ask you where do you get your rocks and how do you know they are going to be an agate?
Some real beauties.
Oh my, I want the first one.
I saw the Minnesota plaque on your shelf. Howdy fellow Minnesotan!
Yooo!
Awesome specimens!!
Beautiful germstone..
Uwielbiam słuchać jak odpowiadasz 👍 ten kanał jest super!!!👍👍❤
10:30 - It's a fireball spell.
Hey! I'm quite new to this channel and to lapidary as well, us there a video about how he polishes the agates/rocks? With like, explaining why, what grid, movements etc.? Couldn't find it in the playlists 😊
The long green agate looks like Minnesota sushi 😂❤ overall the gobstopper was a jaw drop.
My question is why do Australian agates look a bit better/more banded than others?
The 3rd stone reminds me of red flame fire
Enjoy watching your shows when I have my grandson over . I would love to buy some of your polished agates if you sell them. God bless you and your beautiful family
I bet they would look amazing under UV light.
I’ve been watching you for probably about the last three maybe four years. I think it’s been three anyways you should try cutting some of them. China that are larger. They’re very beautiful. Just got a batch about a week ago. I received mine right before you cut the tiny ones I have some of those two don’t have a small trim, saw
I just found your channel, I love watching you cut the rocks open!!! What do you do with them after you cut and polish them?? I think this is pretty cool!!
Ill take the fractured ones!! Haha i just think they are all so pretty!!
The one at 9:10 was excellent!
That one agate is like flame
I love the this one!!
So many awesome agates!!!
I would have loved seeing the one with yellow "bubbles" hidden inside polished! Maybe it was too fractured to do so
Amazing first specimen. How you managed to cut it right where the two differed in the middle. Any further to the white side and the would have been no window into the quartz
Now you got me googling where agate creeek is ... Hi from Australia:)
I’m sure it’s amazing!
Perfect thanks for your very good information ❤
