      What determines the way you cut them and have you ever sliced each one in many slices ? Some sliced in more than 1 slice tell stories

    Exceptional agates. It’s like Christmas, all these gifts . I liked the last one of course, but my favorite is the orange one after the 4th or 5th agate cut. Loved that one. I could watch you cut all day. Thank you so very much. An entertainer in addition.

    @BigJohn51976 11 месяцев назад

    The first one you show I would call the "Fire Agate". With it's reds and oranges would be the fire and the white bands and the Quartz acting as smoke. Nice agate!!!
    And the last one you cut open could be The Magical Shroom. And we are the second people to see inside these agates. First being mother nature herself. She was the one to have the formula for all these agates.

    Hello Taylor, I have never commented on your channel before now and I'm sorry to say I have watched every single one of your videos! This video has blown me away and in my opinion is the best one you have ever done. It's edited beautifully and the content is awesome and the stars of the show as always the stunning agates. Im a collector and and cut and polish agates too so know how much hard work goes into it all. Keep up the good work best wishes from Tracy in Scotland.

    I could see me buying this blade and the machine. Would/could put it in my garage. It'd work until summer hits. I live in Central Texas (just outside of Austin). 100+ degree temps for weeks on end - I wouldn't be able to work. Which encompasses at lot of time. Mid-May until the end of September. We typically don't get real fall until the very end October. The leaves don't fall until late November/early December.
    At least our winters are short. But they can get pretty bad with winter precipitation.
