This is the UA-cam channel of Joshua Ritter, founder of AGATEBAY.
I am a German based business and started out as an agate collector when I was about 12 years old.
As a young adult I had the opportunity to follow my passion and started my own business by selling agates. In the beginning it was just a side hustle, but after a decade and some hard work I became the biggest dealer for high quality agates in Europe. AGATEBAY is now a business of 4, and on my youtube channel I want to take you behind the scenes and take you more into my world as an agate connoisseur. I will give you insight information, educate you about work I do in my workshop, explain some agate formation theory and terminology, as well as give information on specific agate deposits or features in agates worldwide.
If you have any questions, or video requests, please let me know!

Are those pseudomorphs or moss on the agate? Or both? Or are they the same inclusions, just cut at different angles 🤔???
That’s a beauty! 😊
What could you sell me for my rock tumbler?
Could you post your other website you mentioned. My hearing is not good and what I enter doesn't go to your website. TY
Sorry to hear the mining operation didn't work out as you had hoped. "Partnerships" certainly can be difficult to keep things equal. Those agates you cut are spectacular as any I have seen. Joshua, may I suggest you put your new US based website as a link in the description of this video? I did go to the site, and it is not open as of the time I write this comment. Perhaps you could also link Alex's channel in the description. Thanks for posting your story!
That 2nd to last.. wow!
I would definitely keep the number 2 ones together.. I'd put them in an art mask as eyeballs 😂
We should start calling you "the Agate Whisper" you seem to have such a knack for locating the most beautiful materials 😊
What a stunner!! 😮
Oh help me 13:08 I’m dead. RIP
4:01 Same. Same feels.😂
😮 wow.
A most interesting video story Joshua. Very well done! Thank you for sharing your adventure into the possibility of restarting the Dryhead Agate mine. Mining always requires all the stars to align before success, and most times, they don't. It takes a brave person to walk away from a bad financial investment, but you did so for the right reasons. If a partnership (of any kind) seems forced, best ask yourself if it's worth continuing with.
I'm glad you were able to secure some of these for yourself. They are amazing.
Amazing adventure. Sharing your experiences makes me appreciate how truly special great agates are. Thank you
Thank you for the wonderful manner that you explain and show how you make the decisions in how you make your cuts .
Just amazing, and I've been collecting minerals and fossils for well over 75 years. (I still have about half of my childhood agate marble collection from the 1950s.)
Wow, I am sorry to hear the Dryhead project did not work out. It is great to hear that you are able to bring a few tons of this material to market though. The pieces you cut in this video are lovely. I hope you did not throw away the scraps, it looked like there was good cab potential in the thin bits.
Wow, those 2 with the amethyst are amazing! Both of them came out beautifully.
Thank you!!
Crap, the best one sold already😢
What a pity with your project. This man got the gold faevor. In the old times they would kill a partner for a gold vain! You got away in time.
Im sorry to hear that your partnership didn't work out. Sounds like you came away with a workable backup plan at least. Can't wait to see more beautiful Dryheads! Just seeing agates is quite a stress relief for me.
Stunning
Das sind ja wieder wunderschöne Achate, die Farben sind wunderschön. Schade wenn sie dann Risse haben.
make cabs from the last agate you cut, the agate part of it.
what makes an agate worth a lot of money? I finished cutting about 5 pounds of malawi agate nodules, just don't have a machine to polish them. Also where do you get your agate nodules from?
I mine them and work in bulk deals with miners and other dealers. Check out my other videos. A few months ago I released a video specifically dedicated to the value of Malawi agates. 😊🥳
So is the wrong layer being dug now?
No. It was just the start of the dig trying to figure out on where to intensify mining efforts.
Some beautiful pieces!
Always looking for a new agate video from AgateBay first thing in the morning
Thank you!! 😄🥰
this is a great teaching video !
loving every cut !!
Oooooh! Awesome!😅😅😅
I have cut a few of those recently and I am loving them. That’s a nice one.
Whoever is throwing the rock off camera…next time toss it in the bucket by the window without going through the window! 🤡🥏🕺🏼🕺🏼😂😂😂 (Or set up a disc golf net in the corner)
Sehr cool und sportlich 😁😁👍👍👍
Dankeschön 😁
Absolutely gorgeous!
That beautiful agate thinks highly of itself Joshua! It's flashing the I'm number 1 sign!☝️🏼☝️🏼☝️🏼😄 Thanks for sharing another stunning agate from the mysterious "Island"!
😂It points up. Perhaps it's a hint to its origin. Could it be from mysterious Helgoland, Åland, Björnøya or Amsterdamøya maybe?
Joshua this is an interesting agate! What was the first rock agate you ever saw? Do you remember….do you still have that first agate?
Awesome video Josh!! Sad I won't be making it to Quartzsite/Tucson this year! Do you have an idea when the new Swazi rough will be available for purchase through you or the Gem Shop? Super interested in snagging some :D
It will probably take a little more time until they receive it. It’s a long way for a container ship half across the world… 😄 But they still have some from a previous shipment I supplied to them. :) Make sure to use the code: AGATEBAY in the checkout if you do place an order!

It's so wonderful to hear and see a real educational video about two realms - agates and photography into today's digital world. I really enjoyed the entire "class".
Hello! I just found your account, I’m studying geology at the moment, your videos are so helpful! Im from New Zealand and I have been pulling some beautiful agate/carnelian up from an old fault line, I’d love to get your opinion of them! One of them seems to be chalcedony that’s broken or brecciated then filled in with carnelian. If there’s anyway I could send some photos to you, let me know 😊 thanks so much!
I’ll come to New Zealand to look at them myself. I’ve been wanting to visit for years!!! 😄
Great video. Neat to see all the work involved getting these beauties from their initial location to curious people from around the world.
Have fun to the European people investing in killer agates! Wow!
Excellent!! I've been waiting for a video like this! More, please!!
Ok. I’ll do more travel vids in the future. 😄
The one you see as a penguin i see a whale with water spout! Especially the right side half. I can also see a penguin too :)
