      like your channel , but I don 't understand why you don 't add an additional water source so that your agates are whole ?

      Your agates kind of proved the reverse of the the old saying, beauty is skin-deep but ugly goes to the Bone. Gnarly exterior, gorgeous interior.

    "I agree!" There the best! "Beautiful specimens!" I've collected agates since Granny walked me down the cabin road looking for agates and I think I was about 4 then! Am 68 now. Have a small collection but would have loved to find many large ones like you have there! Thanks for the video, cutting the Great lake Superior agates! Nice job! 👍🙂

    @dustinfindsrocks Год назад +2

    Wow! Some real stunners in this batch! Those are all going to look amazing polished especially the one that broke. Yeah it sucks but the fracture was already there. At least now the piece will be smaller and curved but it'll be near flawless, it's going to look amazing! The nodules are definitely exciting I have been looking for more myself... Only a matter of time before I cut open one that's super cool inside! There's less mystery to the Missouri lace agate but there's always interesting details revealed when you cut it. Cuts made perpendicular or even better oblique to the banding generally produces the most interesting patterns. Rock on Taylor!

    Love the way you choose the direction to cut and how they came out. Motivates me to go out looking for these beauties, I’m in Grand Marais, and often go out looking for the “youperlites” at night, but not much daytime hunting. That may have to change. Thanks

  • @electrichellion5946
    @electrichellion5946 Год назад +3

    When working in a colder environment I’ll use hot water to start out with and figure it’s no problem if the rocks aren’t too cold. Can add hot water as it cools if needed.

    My son, and I just started rock hounding spring of last year, and we have a found some beautiful agates, quarts, red, jasper, and many other kinds of rocks. I really love watching your videos. They’re very encouraging and also educational my son bought a dual drum rock Tumblr and has turned out some beautiful, polished agates, and some bingamutes and we got him a wet saw for Christmas, so your videos are very encouraging on how to cut the rocks and protection, and all of that good stuff. Thank you very much and congratulations on being a father! Enjoy every moment of it because they grow up so quick mine are 19 and 21.
    Blessings

You are like a kid in a candy store, around agates! I love it! They were all amazing! And it was so nice of you to offer to polish that one that chipped off that piece. They arent even your rocks and you are wanting to make sure its flattened out ok! Your awesome Taylor!

What I loved the most is the different designs I hadn't noticed in other agates, like the 'pointy' centers and just the odd shapes for the center. WOW!!! I always love your reactions too!!! Don't hold back on us, just make your feelings known for sure!!! So wonderful, lol. Great job!!! Thanks for sharing with us!!! Take care. 😃
