You are not rambling, you are gushing! And we LOVE it!

I gasped when you revealed the bands of "The Face" that's an awesome stone!

Love the one with the “nose” because once you cut it, it has brown eyes! The others are so beautiful!

Yes that last rock was breathtaking!

The last one was stunning to see and for me personnaly.... there's no such thing as "just a rock". Each and every pebble has its own beauty, you need to know how to 'see' it. 💜

I think you should keep both halves of that last agate you cut because when they are opened up next to each other it looks like a butterfly or owl's eyes. It's very striking! Love them all and thank you for another great video. ❤from Idaho

You truly turn these pebbles into precious gems - like magic! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks for your take on how and where to cut the agates. The larger pastel one is beautiful. The last one…is definitely a winner!

That last one is absolutely gorgeous 😍

Looks like little amethyst galaxies in couple of those!

That's so cool how one side has yellow and the other side has orange. Pretty! ❤😃

Cool video. I cut about a hundred+ agates a week here. A lot of stuff out of West Texas and quite a few out of Africa. It's always amazing when you get those floaters inside. The 3d effects are so cool.

You really hit the jackpot with this video! Every one is awesome! And your “theory” more than proved itself correct. Congrats!

Yes! Keep the whole agate of the Last one!!!

The very first one looks like there's a tiny pearl in the left side. So pretty.

I am so happy that you made this video! The very best thing was...."I guess.". LOL!! Made me feel better.😉 I would love to get into this hobby in a very big way, but living in Omaha does not lend itself to many opportunities. Meanwhile, I am vicariously enjoying every adventure you have and loving your excitement! Blessings from an old gramma in Omaha! 💕💕

They are all so beautiful and the polishing just magnifies that beauty!

So glad I strapped myself in my chair! Holy Buckets!😮 Love the tutorial and the subjects couldn't be more beautiful 😊❤! IMO you batted 1000 ⚾️!🥰

I get just as excited every time you open up one up! Nice nose job on the head😂

Do you make cabochons with any of the Malawi agates? I love them so much!

Gorgeous. This is fun to us too.

It never ceases to amaze me that we humans are the only beings on earth that really appreciate the beauty of rocks, except maybe some that like 'shiny things'. It's like God made them just so we could appreciate another layer of His creativity.

Those are ALL so great! LOVE them all! Thank you for these fun cutting videos! THANK YOU AGATE DAD!

The last one was really amazing looking

You were right…..that last one was the best and gorgeous at that! Ahhhh nature😍 ✌🏻❤️😃

My mouth fell open when you opened that last one.....oh my gosh! Gorgeous! ❤

You’re the best!❤ I love your enthusiasm as you cut these beautiful stones and share them with us! Thank you for doing this with such skill!

The depth in those rocks they were all gorgeous

Thank you for explaining how you decide the cutting position.

Just finished my Geology class, I'm praying for a 95 or above so I can maintain my 4.0, but this class was challenging! You would adore the class I just took!

This Video Is my Favorate Video from Agate dad so far!

Sweet cuts beautiful and educational, thank you so much!

I just wing it, but I also don't cut a lot of agates. Most of the agates I cut are seam agates anyway, so you kinda already know where it's gonna line up.

I’ll be honest, I stumbled upon your channel by accident, and I thought that this would be about as interesting as watching paint dry. How wrong was I🤣. I absolutely love it!! I’m totally hooked and can’t wait to see more. Your description of the rocks are so great as well. I can tell you are extremely passionate about this and it shows and has made me want to find out more about geology. Thank you.

Oh I LOVE the one with the tiny agate pockets!

OMG, that “snooter” agate is amazing! ❤ They actually all were. Just finished watching. 😂

The one at 7:20 "the face" the one on the left looks like a cartoon character laughing 😂 but seriously they were so stunning! Loving the colors and unique patterns! The last one was PSYCHEDELIC!

Your videos are really helpful. I guess a lot with the stones we cut, most of the time it works out, it's amazing how the rocks give you little clues.

An educated guess is always good. You had some great agates there and the polish was great. Cut, cut, cut! 😊 thanks for sharing. 😷⚒

All nice but the last one!!!!! Wowzer!!!!!

It would be awesome to see a video of how you do the whole polishing process. Your polishes are insane!

The last one is the best one. Several beauties though.

That last one is simply amazing!! 🤩

That last one is AMAZING!! ❤

Since I just found you(thanks to a KZfaqr mentioning you), I didn’t know you had an Etsy store. I’m so happy cause I love getting new pieces to add to my collection. Yay!🥳

Love that thin white band around the entire outside edge, on #2

The last one is the best that’s a beauty

Perfect timing on this video. I have four Lake Superior agates I've been contemplating where to cut.

They look so cool

Just WOW !!!!! These are some great agates. Very cool😎😎

I'm still at the first one and my brain wants you to cut through the window just to see what would happen.

I can't over how beautiful they are

Other then lake superior agates, Malawi is definitely my 2nd favorite! They are all so beautiful! Especially after that great shine you put on them! 😊

That three window one is my favorite!! but they all are beautiful thank you Get dad

Agates are formed like onions or jawbreakers. They're layers of bands stacked on top of each other so there is no "bad cut", it's just about avoiding quartz pockets and band disruptions if you can see them. Really the best way to cut an agate is the biggest face possible for polishing after. I cut and polish lakers in my garage for fun.

Thank you for another great and fun video

They all look great!

I’m not a rock person, but I love watching you reveal what’s inside. I was wondering where all these cut rocks end up? What do you use them for? Also it would be cool to see how you polish them.

Love, love it, love great video.

I like the fifth one, the dark one with the orange band and depth combo that really shows the crystals inside so well. How stunning that looks. All of them are so stunning -- I don't see how you can choose just one favorite

7:00 looks like a volcano in the ocean - my fav

It's so Fun! Thank you for sharing

Thanks a tonne! I really wanted to know how to decide where to cut! ❤

My husband has decided that you’re a bad influence and that I shouldn’t watch your videos all the time because it fuels my rock hobby. I think he’s just jealous 😂 REGARDLESS - thank you for this video, super helpful! I have three lbs of Malawi Babies coming (also thank you for the Gem Shop recommendation and discount code!) so hopefully your advice will help with any windowed ones I get! Keep on rockin’ my brother!

That last one you cut looks like the twin of one of mine!!! So cool!

I LOVE AGATE!!!

Awesome cut success on the flame!

Wow your going to have 150k subscribers soon

😍👍💯 Thank you.

good review❤

Absolutely love the agates @AgateDad! ❤I fully agree about the beauty and wonder of rocks. stones and minerals etc.

wonderful specimens

I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you!

i recently got a rock saw for Christmas. a 10 inch model of the brand you showed here. its awesome haha. i am planing to make slabs from the various rocks i find here in Vermont, usually the ones with insane folding and quartz bands and such. have to work on my straight cutting, but that takes time lol.

That last one looks like a camel laying down awesome video thanks

That last one: two camels. :) Beautiful

Claro que sí, amigo! Abrazo fraterno desde Aluminé, en la Patagonia! 🤗

It was definitely a blast!

That last one you cut looks like a turtle without legs!❤

❤❤❤ your videos. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, education and entertainment. Plus you and your family are beautiful and seem like good people. Especially when your son said "you're welcome dad" for giving you pink eye. Love it! 😹😻🤠

Thanks!

THANKS

Love your thought progress on placement of cuts and polishing 😁 I personally think you do an awesome job explaining things for those of us that are new to this. I do have a question was wondering if you've ever just polished the windows and not done any cuts or if you just leave it natural? Thanks again for a another great session 😊

2 faces with the nose faces opposite directions i really like blue agates but that last one was stunning banding and colors bet it was costly

Wow so beautiful sharing 😊

I am learning alot watching your videos. Thank you. I have ordered me a skil 7" wet saw. (Got it for $20)

I'd love to see bits of your "personal collection"😊

Nice! 👍

Highly recommend getting a waterproof, rechargeable flashlight that has a 5000k 519a LED. I was searching for quite a while to find something to view colors in rocks with accuracy (to help my color deficiency) and display/show off rocks to others. It makes a HUGE difference, that specific LED is very close to noon-day sunlight, at least as close as an inexpensive LED can get. There are slight improvements on an LED chip that is exponentially more expensive. I'll take 90% sunlight for 25 dollars, thanks. I have the Wurkkos FC11 (more "in the mid afternoon sun" spectrum) but the TLF golden has the same waterproofing, and the 5000k high noon sun spectrum LED. Totally changed the way I interact with rocks, from viewing my own tiny collection, to perusing (and selecting purchases) at shows, even other club members like using my light specifically because it shows off their stones better than their lights. The control over the light intensity is super easy, and allows for very low light, to all the way making a tree 100m away exposed in daylight and anywhere in between with a smooth ramping function.

You must have quite a collection by now. I would too. I had better not start.

Again, these are awesome!

They are beautiful ❤

"Schnooter Island!"

When do you think these will be in your esty store?? I’m in love with the pink color one !!

Can u make a video about you adventuring the wild and finding crystals i want to knoe how they look in the wild?

very pretty

Hi "Dad" Absolutely beautiful agates! I teach cab cutting here in South Africa. I want to point out differences between what i teach and the way you cut and polish. When i teach cutting, i insist that the student places the stone on a firm base and applies constant moderate force onto the stone with both hands steadying the stone, not moving it up and down or rotating it, the cut is cleaner that way. In our worshop we use a solid steel flat lap with loose grit in a WD 40 medium up to 600 grit and only then proceed to a sanding wheel for 800 1200, 1500, 2000, 3000 then polish, the surface is then flat with no evidence of curvature. I know it is different to the way you do it, i believe the way i teach is correct, but i also subscribe to the mantra that there is no right or wrong method, just different, the product will be the proof. Best wishes, go well.

Gorgeous agates!🤩 Thanks for sharing! 😊

The last one look like butterfly wing. ❤
