Best agatized coral I've ever seen, it's just insanely gorgeous!!! I can't believe it, just as much like you can't! It's already freakin' awesome from the outside but the inside is absolutely crazy. The size too is surreal. Congrats on this e p i c find!!!
I know right?!?! I have found some really really amazing ones lately. I've just been posting on Facebook because it's hard to do a full video on one specimen lol but this one called for its own video!
That is beautiful. I never seen the inside of one. Thanks for sharing 👍😃
No prob :) I have tons of these things
Wow so cool. Good for u! Love the shiny!
Me too 😎
Awesome find!! Very nice
Thanks! Biggest I've ever seen lol
Beautiful piece, amazing 👌👌👌
Thank you 😊
This really was a spectacular find.very cool😎😎
Thanks! Haven't found another one like this one yet lol maybe after this hurricane rips thru there 😅
Wowza
EPIC specimen! Totally gorgeous and one-of-a-kind! *envies*
It really is wild! I still haven't polished it lol
Almost to 3,000 subs! You deserve it bro.
Hey man! Thanks. I was wondering what happened to ya just the other day. Been hunting?
Awesome find Dennis! It was great meeting you and Ray at the Rock show last month.
Thanks!
wow! beautiful man! good find..
Heck yeah :) thanks!
Wow, Wow, Wow!!😁
Yaaaasssss
Beautiful.....
Definitely
Woah Dennis!!! Simply amazing!!!
Crazy right?!?!?! Lol HOLY COW!!
Never would have guessed it to be druzy inside lol I was seriously floored when I realized it and told Ray what it was.
@@DigLifeCrisis ohhh I bet so. Did he try to steal it from you lol?? It’s awesome
@@DigLifeCrisis yeah crazy for real. It’s amazing
That is a super cool find! I found a piece of horn coral here in Missouri that was agatized inside once but nothing like the Florida stuff! The orange and blue colors are awesome in this one man! I enjoyed hearing you be so excited it was druse. Some people have talked smack on my druse… I think maybe they’re jealous 😂
Heck yeah. Did you cut it open?
@@DigLifeCrisis it was already broken open when I found it. I posted about it before. It looks like and ice cream cone LOL
@@dustinfindsrocks lol nice
Amazingly Beautiful and Spectacular!
Thank you. Check out the recent one I posted that's just as good!
@@DigLifeCrisis sure will !!
@@Ephesians617 ruclips.net/video/KBKIoxVDW3o/видео.htmlsi=K7RpsgWGASYheybG
Holy cow!! So beautiful!! Never seen anything like it 🤯
Isn't it crazy??? The blue, white, and gold druzy is insane 😳 🔥
@@DigLifeCrisis I just found your channel today, I LOVE IT! Have you tried to collab with any of the others, like Wild Kyle, Agate Dad or The Kellison?
@@elleisme8565 thanks for the kind words 😀 glad you like my content. I've met Kyle before. I've really only done a collab with someone else that has a channel like twice. It would def help my channel out by doing one and getting my name out there tho I'm sure
Check it under an ultra violet light. They look amazing.
It looks super crazy in UV 😀
nice stuff
Thank you! Was super stoked when I found it!
Wow! That looks amazing! Have you hit it with a uv light yet? They glow outrageously, and reveal fortification lines that cant be seen in regular light!
Yeah lol I literally just had my uv light on it. Looks amazing! I'll probably post the pics in my group on fb Rockhounds World-Wide in a few :)
That's amazing! I love coral! I'm more south so I've never found any agatized 🙁
Thank you! There's nothing agatized farther south than Tampa unfortunately 😕 y'all have the calcite down there tho!
Que belleza, estaría todo el día mirándola con el flashlight y la lupa😂❤❤🔥
¡Lo hago a veces! jajaja ❤️
Hey brother, i live in Gainesville Florida and I really want to get into finding agatized coral. Could you recommend any tips for getting started?
It's so much better not being solid. Solid is overplayed lol they are everywhere, everyone and their grandma has that, this is rare and unique and beautiful.
Yaaaasssssss. This is definitely still one of the best and biggest ones I've found at this location ❤️
I loved your results, every one of these are unique and have their own character and beauty.
Question! I inherited about two dozen Florida agatized coral heads (no geodes) that have similar exteriors to yours. Mind have lots of crystals showing in the dull grey host material. How can I make these shine? I’ve done acid baths to remove lots of recent rust, then power washed. All the iron-heavy soil they were found in is gone, but still dull and flat looking. Ideas most welcomed, any advice? (I’m thinking sand blasting?)
Can u send pics of them to my fb page "Dig Life Crisis"? I'd have to see pics to try to be able to help ya
Hey I loved this video and the stuff you do! Just found u n u seem like someone I'd have a chatter with at the store lol. Can you please reccomend great places to find some agatized coral? I am a Florida native east of Tampa and would love to find some!
Maybe take about an inch slab on one, would be a beautiful slab and open up the wall
That would definitely be sweet :)
My first thought when I saw it cut was that it looked like a brain 😂 Phenomenal specimen, congratulations!
I'm sure my brain is pretty much made of agatized coral by now anyway lol I'm beyond obsessed
@@DigLifeCrisis I've been dying to go rockhounding! I need to agatize my brain🤣
@debidevaney8398 lol tell me about it. I haven't went out in a few months besides hunting douglas diamonds a few weeks ago. I'm itching to dive lol
@@DigLifeCrisis Douglas Diamonds? I haven't heard of these. Where do you find them?
@@debidevaney8398 Douglas lake in Tennessee
Wish we could see it under a black light.. Awesome find
It looks killer in uv! Do you follow me on fb?
Nooooo! You didn't look at it under a UV light?! AAAAA! It might have revealed more banding and lovely colors!!!
It looks AWESOME in uv 😎
@@DigLifeCrisis Epic!!! :]
oh I'm so glad you got to see it in UV!!! Yay!!
@Star_Rattler I have some super crazy uv reactive ones 😎
WOW ❤
@HoneySamuels definitely 😎
the one at 8.45. i named it VINCENT!
Lol we naming pockets now???
I can dig it lol
Atatatatt😲😐🤤
I was thinking the same thing
I work in this material, for many decades,,you said you have no idea what it is worth?, I'd say first this one is really rare,& a fine fine specimen,, several thousand dollars after you polish the cut edges, I suggest you also paint all the druzy,with several layers of nail polish,,then tumble the outside to a fine polish,,then soak in acetone to remove the nail polish from your druzy, or pack the pockets w/ paper medium,seal this with several layers of nail polish to protect the druzy from the tumbling process? Then with all the polish work done this will certainly be worth several thousand dollars.
Thank you. It's very very unique for sure. Never seen one like it
Dude, just found a killer twice that size. My biggest yet. Love the BLUE! You think Ray would cut mine? where yall at?
Nice! Can u message me on my fb page "Dig Life Crisis"? Like to see pics
Now I'm gonna be bringing even more stuff home from shelling
The struggle is real lol
Oh wow, didn't like the idea of cutting it open. But, oh wow.
Some I don't cut open lol they stay as specimens. Some of them I cut open tho will blow your mind lol
Have you tried a black light
Oh yeah! Looks insane!
Dude!! Omg!! I cant believe you have this!!!! I have one that is 5 times bigger with HUGE tube pockets and chunks of opal ,, huge openings with sugar druzy and giant pieces of opal!! Ive been scrubbing on mine for about a month now,, it weighs over 90 pounds and is absolutely amazing! Pm me if you want for more details!! . Thnx!
I have no way to pm you here
@@DigLifeCrisis ok . Imma go to your fb page and send a pic. I cant believe ive found someone with the same type of rock !
Dude I have a chunk of Agatized Coral on my farm that Id have to get the tractor to move it.
Nice! May be solid. Is it in Florida? There's agatized coral all over Florida, but only certain spots form the geodes
@DigLifeCrisis Middle, TN. I cut a small one(still basketball sized) with a skil saw. It was solid but doesnt look nearly as good as yours because my 7 1/4" blade going around it full circle still would make it the whole way through so I had to use a wedge and hammer to split it the rest of the way. If only I had access to a giant saw 😞
Sounds awesome! Yeah we get super crazy colors and all kinds of formations inside of ours down here.
How do you identify agatized coral?
Being an apex predator in the ocean shark meat is loaded with mercury and other heavy metals. Just so long as you don't eat a lot of it you should be okay.
Personally, I like all the geode pockets with the drusy. It makes this beautiful specimen more intriguing.
💯 😎
What would happen if you slabbed it?
I'd be crazy to do that because of the size and colors in this thing. I still haven't polished it yet either lol it looks insane in uv light 😅
I have a mountain of this how worth is it
Depends. Where did yours come from?
Can you check if this heavy coral floats on the water?
Nah it doesn't float
I would be tempted to cut again, quarter / section it.
One of these specimens this size and quality is so rare I'm afraid to mess with it any more lol
you try hitting it with uv light
Oh yeah, it looks insane. I'll post a video of it sometime lol but I still haven't polished it yet
I am saying this because there is an Adams bridge in India where there are heavy stone floating on the water even after it is heavy so just want to check that if it is because it has a solid heavy coral which can float on the water
That's some really cool info. Never heard of that. I'll have to look into that 😀 this one doesn't float tho. I do find that I can tell most of the time if there's a big pocket in some of the ones with thin walls because when I'm diving I kinda toss them up and they don't sink down as fast, but none float
@@DigLifeCrisis refer the link I have shared there is a bridge which is made of 7000 years old stones and the are floating on the ocean ..some scientists said that it because of the solid Coral which float over the sea. So i just cheked from your end
@@JChrist571 I will definitely research on that. Where is the link??
@@DigLifeCrisis If you are unable to see my link then just search in you tube "could this be the legendary magical bridge connecting India and Srilanka"
I'll look that up 😀 thank you so much!
Are you thinking of polishing it?
Definitely 😀 hoping to polish it today 🙏
How does it look under a black light
It glows like crazy 🤪
The bands pop in uv too. It's really wild
Would love to see it. You need to checkout Paleo Chris if you haven’t already. He has a RUclips channel and does a lot of Agatized coral hunting also and I believe is also in Flordia
@@mommajo2781 I know him. We hunt a couple of the same spots unfortunately lol
@@mommajo2781 check out my Facebook page. I post way more on there. My name is Dennis Singletary. Same profile pic as my channel here
Are you going to polish the flat face on the inside? I would love to see that.
Not yet 😞 I've been super busy hunting lately. Been finding some really crazy specimens lol crazy colors. I was looking at it the other day and wanting to make time to polish the pair. So maybe soon! Follow me on Facebook "Dennis Singletary", if ya want. More than likely I'll post it there for sure 😀
Did you comment on another video? I thought I saw you did but can't find the comment 😕 sometimes I don't get notifications when everyone comments
@@DigLifeCrisis It's quiet possible! I just found your channel and Sub'd so been watching other videos.🙂
@@AvalonDreamz I have a lot on here lol my entire journey since starting to fossil hunt in 2019 😀 haven't been posting many legit videos lately because people have been trying to creep on my spots lol so I had to scale back a bit. Did you look up my fb page? I post way more random stuff I'm working on there. Lot of stuff I cut and polish are on there.
@@DigLifeCrisis OH NO! I'm not shocked though. It seems more and more people are trying to start "rockhounding" and posting videos all over! I have heard quiet a few videos where people have been trying to keep their spots a secret. I will for sure check out facebook so I can see some polished up! I'm in Indiana so there is nothing like that around where I am at all. I would have to do some serious traveling I imagine 😅
Wait what is this . I always find blue rocks
Agatized coral. Florida's state stone
Are you going to slab that one?
Noooo lol this is the biggest coral head I've ever seen and definitely the biggest geode I've found with the druzy in it. This one is staying in 2 pieces :)
@@DigLifeCrisis okay. Since there is so much hidden beauty, I just thought maybe you could multiply the joy and see more of it.
Just a thought...
I'm so happy for you on this find! Now you have me expanding my rock hounding interest to include these beauties. The video of yours the other day was the first I'd heard of or seen fossil agate coral! And off the gulf coast no less.
I shared that video with a fellow Rockhound in Texas.
Thank you! 😊💕
@@OmeletTwelve definitely going to find a creative way to show off the goodies inside 😀 thank you so much for sharing! I wish I had a million more of you to share my videos lol
@@DigLifeCrisis Have you considered fiber optics lighting it up from the inside? Either that or a string of tiny LED battery operated lights maybe? Amazon has quite a selection of fairy lights. I'm thinking fiber optics though would show the least amount of leads to the lights?
Just some ideas for you!
@@OmeletTwelve yes I've talked to a couple people about installing little led lights in there 😀 I think that would probably be the best way to show off the druzy inside for sure.
it seems a waste to not tak another slab off of each side, 2 great slabs and it would show a LOT more of the pockets
I worry about how it would display if I did that tho lol it's so crazy as it sits now 😅
I have gotten into huuuge arguments about my obsession with slabbing everything laaawl. This piece is absolutely amazing!@@DigLifeCrisis
Looks Like A Brain..Unreal
It's pretty wild! I still need to polish it lol
...that creepy little voice you do is, um
yeah, creepy 👎👎👎
Your mom loves it tho
@@DigLifeCrisisdon't have one, abandon when I was 9 years old, ssooo... maybe
@@aumetalmental8403 🤣
Only disappointment is that you believe it is millions of years old….too sad
Google Florida agatized coral 😉
If you do the math based on the population and population growth being that the population is growing faster than ever in history , we can go back to the beginning of earth and its not even one million years. Do the math and always use your brain first before you believe anything
@@kickbackentertainment4466😂
Lmao
Dinosaur bones have been carbon dated to 66 million years ago, soooooo....
