On this lapidary adventure, I cut open 20 Australian agates, take all the premium ones and polish them! I cut these on my 6" Hi-Tech Diamond saw and polished them with my 8" Cabking. Many of these polished agate creek agates are available on my Etsy! Equipment and my store linked here: linktr.ee/AgateDad

Some of the fractured ones are so pretty that they are still desirable. Perhaps they could be offered in small batches of 'unpolished, wonky & broken ones' at a bargain price, maybe with some materials for hand polishing them, to bring out the best in them?

I ran across your channel a few days ago and I have been binge watching. Never in my 73 years did I ever think I would be interested in someone cutting apart rocks. I never expected the beauty that hides inside rocks. Thank you for showing me just how beautiful mother nature can be. The very best part of your video's is the joy that come from you when you open a rock and the inside is just beyond beautiful. Thank you again for making these video's. Don't stop. You are showing people like me how wonderful Mother Nature can be.

Those are some beautiful pieces. Some of those slabs would make beautiful jewelry. I’m 75, but would love to be able to do that. My grandson has been interested in this stuff since he was 5. He’s 18 now, how I would love doing this with him. He will be starting college this fall. He’s mom makes jewelry and I can see how adventurous this would be for both of them. However, life !

Your channel has captured my attention for sure. My father was teaching me lapidary when we lived in Japan in the early 1960s. I really liked doing it. My favorite of these stones is the one you call the ghost. Such pretty color.

@pattijareo7423 3 ай бұрын

It's so interesting to me that there were so many that show orange and yellow as the main colors. I think about Australia and its enormous desert, and what is the palette? Just like those agates! You have a bit of Uluru right there in your hands. How amazing is that? Man, I'd love to do what you are doing! 😉😄

@lisamills-wv6nc 3 ай бұрын

@durindaau8085 18 күн бұрын

It’s like opening a bunch of Christmas presents! I like to see what shapes the bands make. I’ve seen the outline of continents, rain drops, birds in flight. What guides you to cut one direction or another, if you don’t have any “windows” on the outside. I am loving watching you do this.

@TheLoonlady 3 ай бұрын

Great video ... I especially love the different colors from around the world ....I am so used to, basically, the colors of the Lake Superior agates that I forget there are agates from all around the world that are unique to their localities. Thanks for sharing these lovely stones ... Happy hunting !

Those are some amazing agates. I absolutely love the ocean scene with the clouds and the black and red never seen an agate like it nor the comet ones. That hot orange that you also kept was absolutely stunning. And the one where you could see all the way inside through the quartz so awesome.

I am 76 and have always picked up rocks wherever I went. They always look pretty when wet. There should be a place where we can bring then and have them cut. Now that would be fun. I also have crystals and gems. Love them all.

@janeencalaway1862 3 ай бұрын

Love the agates, beautiful. I have a moss agate my parents picked up in Montana many years ago. It's one of my favorite positions. The way the dark moss areas are shaped and the soft white cloud like area that covers half the surface, combined gives the impression of African planes at twilight.

The white skinned Agate Creek ones are my favourites. The pink and white colours in them are always glorious. Your stones are perfect examples of the range of Agate Creek agates.

You can use superglue (CA glue) and accelerator to put the broken ones back together. If you keep them tight when it hardens there will be minimal bubbles which can hide the cracks fairly well. You can even polish it. 👍🏻
