    It must be a nice feeling to think that these stones were close for millions of years and now you open them to show their beauty. How they smell. This autor was close and now it is spread in the air. It is like another creation. It is wonderful.

    Every time I watch one of your videos, my face gets close to the screen to see the gems up close. So many could be turned into amazing pieces of jewelry. 🥰

    I love your videos so much. What an extraordinary way to live life, to find the hidden artwork of nature. So many surprises. Today I ordered an agate, I fell in love when I saw multiple colors. I will treasure it. It makes me feel like a tiny mouse in a grand universe. ❤❤

    This was a joy to watch. Congrats on your beauties. Even the fractures given these character, they are ancient after all. I got a Malawi agate from your store a while back and keep it on my desk at work. I sometimes just stare into its depth and turn it in the sunlight. It's very soothing to have such immense beauty in a small package.

  • @katehennessy4814
    @katehennessy4814 4 месяца назад +2

    I get more pleasure and satisfaction from watching your reactions to the newly cut stones than the videos themselves. I really LOVE to watch them esp on days when I’m feeling a bit down as it’s like watching an excited child opening their Xmas presents (no disrespect intended). Thank you so much for sharing this little bit of joy with the rest of the world…. It has a much bigger impact than you realise as your thrill, delight and passion with these agates is so infectious (and so is your laugh btw), and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way! 🤗

  • @flornahealingempath

    How is it that some of the agates are not symmetrical in color when cutting through them. Specifically the one at 3:18 is orange on one side and yellow on the other. Are the two colors separated by transparent layer that we don’t see and actually not part of the same chunk?

    • @CWorgen5732
      @CWorgen5732 4 месяца назад +1

      Hmm, it's like cutting a hard-boiled egg in half. Even if you cut RIGHT down the middle, the yolk might be more on one side than the other, and that can make it look different.

    • @sarahschaeffer1247
      @sarahschaeffer1247 2 месяца назад +1

      Its the clarity, how the light passes through is different on one side because the colored section is thinner

    • @polytrope
      @polytrope 2 месяца назад

      @@sarahschaeffer1247 this makes a lot of sense. I wasn’t accounting for the amount that transparency would affect the two sides. I also wonder if the cutting process grinds away enough that also affects the symmetry. If the cutting blades also impact it.

    Amazingly lovely batch you got this time; it's hard to pick out a favorite. The first long one, and the smaller orange one polished up beautifully. The pale one with the orange dot in the middle was unusual. The smaller, defined orange dot surrounded by quartz looks like a tiny flower. Do you ever decided you just missed a pocket, then go back to cut a little more until the pocket is exposed?

    • @Thrandogar
      @Thrandogar 4 месяца назад +1

      Some have, some not. But a window is just a hint. It may promise high qualitly, good banding, color and just be a dud. Or trick you saying there is nothing inside and you will get a perfect specimen. Or it fools you saying i will be green, white and blue but gets transparent brown.

    • @Pampnaylor
      @Pampnaylor 4 месяца назад

      Wow, thank you guys so much. I am so new.. Ive found sharks teeth and fossils, but I’ve always just tossed all the rocks aside and I’m so mad that I’ve been in Montana quite a few times and always just look for heart shaped rocks 🤎🫣 not knowing anything about the real beauty that can be inside a rock now I’m want to find out. Being from Southwest Florida I don’t have the absolutely gorgeous river rock but we do have fossilized coral so I’m gonna start looking for that. Thanks again for answering me back. I appreciate it.

    Speaking of Gem Shop - get yourself a pound or two of their Montana Moss B Grades, I have been having a BLAST with them! They’re not the most colorful but gosh, the bands and the moss that creeps into some of them - they’re gorgeous! (I have two YT shorts posted showing them if you’re curious!)
