That's quite the haul of Brazilians. They are one of my favorite agates to cut and polish. I'm also a cabochon cutter and a lot of those would be great for cutting slabs. I think the larges purchase of Brazilians I've made over the years was 200 lbs, so you've got me beat by quite a bit. Congrats. You have just secured about 50 new videos! Enjoy. I know I would and do.

You might be able to sell some of the thin pieces to someone who makes cabs. The chunky one could be sold as bookends - many people just need one book end so you wouldn't need to have pairs, I use to make gem trees and always looked for smaller chunks of stuff to mount my trees on. Small pieces are good for people who want a piece of agate but can't afford anything bigger. Especially true for junior rock hounds. Smaller pieces could be sold to someone who wire wraps. I'm sure you'll not get "stuck" with any. Great video - so much fun to see so much and such a variety of pieces.

Very very cool! About a year ago I bought 30lbs of agates (and the box look just like yours did when it arrived). They're larger types so they can't be cut easily in my 6" Cabking slicer so I keep them in a 5lb bucket next to my chair and like to look at them. Eventually I'll get around to cutting them. Can't believe you bought over 300lbs! You'll be busy for years. 6:01 was my favorite. I love the Carnelian almost caramel candy look of it.

Hey Taylor @AgateDad I have seen on other people KZfaq pages that people that have those big agates and medium size agate and Geo agates and they can’t polish them on their king cab or they don’t have a king cab because the agates are too big I’ve seen people use a handheld polisher to clean up their faces and everything and it has all the different grits that you need as well. And as for the agates with the crystals in them, you could use that handheld polisher and polish them up and sell them on your store and people will buy those up because people love them when they are all polished up. Oh and also you can get a smaller handheld tool to polish in the places that you can’t get with the bigger polish anyways I thought I would tell you what I have seen on other people’s KZfaq page as always I love your page and your videos I have been watching you since you started your KZfaq channel
