    Which one was your favorite?!

      @breamhook 4 месяца назад +2

      The second one you cut. But I’m not through watching you! You got me started rock hounding. But where I live in Alabama, I have not found any agates yet. I have found some cool rocks though. I have to drive about 70 miles north to even find a good rock bed! The pretty rocks I did find were
      3 hours away. But I don’t have a saw yet. I’m praying to get one though. Any way thank you for all the cool videos!

    7:23 i honestly still like that one. You get a peak into the inner parts of coral. It's still a good fossil in general and I would personally be more than happy to have it in my collection

    Being a Florida resident, of course I love this "stone".. This is considered our state stone. I have some from Tampa Bay. I inherited several from my Dad. As I have said beforek your videos touch my heart ... remembering my fathers love of stones.

    I love it when you cut coral I think it's just amazing to see what has happened inside a living plant over the years as it died. But the cuts of the big ones were phenomenal I was just speechless!

    • @elizabethschaer9636

      You may be interested to know that coral is made up of tiny animals called polyps. It gets fossilized and agatized over millions of years.

    As an online seller, I have to admit that mixing up mailing labels does happen...often. You just have to hope that the recipients on both ends are understanding, and to make things right for everyone involved. What a pleasant surprise for you. 👍😉

  • @mamm7223
    @mamm7223 4 месяца назад +4

    #3 (the blue and black one) was my favorite.right up until you cut the really long one....the next to last one that you turned the hose on. THAT one is absolutely spectacular!!!

    i’ve only been interested in rock hounding and lapidary for about 48 hours now but i’ve probably watched about 15 of these videos now. the ones with black in the middle are always my favorite. (huge honorable mention for the thunder eggs with stars inside)

    #1 is so amazing, the shape and the way the banding moves around the edges.
    The big one is a no brainer, the blue is gorgeous.
    I live way too close to the areas where these are found to not check it out. I can go from Tampa all the way to the Swanee just visiting family. 😂
    Also AD if you come here yourself to look, you will see much bigger bugs, EVERYWHERE! Just a heads up. Great video as always, and what an amazing treat from your friend!

    I definitely like the third piece, 1:43, for the contrast; the white bumps against the black edges are dramatic. The second to last one, 11:30, is gorgeous just for the variety of detail. I can see it as a demonstration piece of the different kinds of features might be found in a geode. Lucky you!

    My favorite was the very first one. From the outside you could definitely see it is a coral fossil and the inside fossilized and agatized. It is awesome!
    I wonder if the fossils that didn't show any agate show anything under UV light? That would be interesting.
    Thanks for sharing. Will pop over to Rick's page to thank him.
