    I cut these agates on my 6" Hi Tech saw, polished on my 8" CabKing, and listed all of them on my Etsy! All links can be found here: linktr.ee/AgateDad

      I personally don't mind the natural fractures. I think they add to the natural beauty. I don't know how or why they affect your cutting and/or polishing, but as far as the end product goes, I think you should stop hating on them so much. Some of the stones you cut I like with the fractures and some I love without. Like you said, there is nothing you can do about it, it is what it is.
      I just love nature in ALL its forms!!!!

      I have often wondered if you have a store in Duluth. I'm from Owatonna and would love to see more of your collection. I'm curious why you would rather cut than tumble , polish. Also any other crystals from up there that you collect. Around here there is so much granite as well. Just walk down any gravel road .
      Here I had a collection and they were lost over time. You make me miss them.

    Hi, I absolutely LOVE the Bulgarian Green Agates! However, in future videos, would you please consider backlighting the agates that have external windows on the opposite side of the cut? With just a little pen light would be great. Every time I watch a video where the agates have a lot of depth, I just want to grab 'em and put a penlight to the backside. I wanna see what's in there! Thank you so much!

      Me too, although I think he would have to cut a thinner slice to be able to see the transparence with a backlight.

    We watch your videos with our rock loving little kids and I can't say enough how much I appreciate you saying, "Oh my gosh" or "oh my goodness" instead of saying something else. It's so refreshing to hear that...I always know I can trust your videos to be friendly for the youngest ears. These green agates were so cool to see to completion! Appreciate your videos!

    im glad you showed the full process... now what I would enjoy is a bit about how these agates are formed. I do a lot of decorative painting and I LOVE imitating stone patterns. it's absolutely ABSTRACT ART. as yes the deep green with the mustard yellow bands are lucious.

    I recently got hooked on watching your channel and as a Bulgarian, I was like - "Oh, we probably have some agates in Bulgaria as well. Let me quickly search RUclips for Bulgarian agates.", and lo and behold. Your video pops up right at the top. I don't know why, but it made me happy to see you cut some agates from my country. Thanks for that. Do you perhaps know the exact location where these were found?

    Would love to see you cut agates from other countries they're all so different across the board that you've done so far. These are the best I've seen as well as the ones with neon colors. I would also love to see landscape Jasper cut open as well it's a beautiful stone. Would also love to see lapis lazuli cut and polished it's one of my fave stones. Would love to see more labradorite as well.
