    When you opened the agate at the 7:33 mark, I gasped. It's Lovely.. When you showed #4, it looked covered by Common Opal that had been discolored. Agate #4 at the 8:16 mark really does look like 2 outer rings of Commom Opal.. Most unusual agate I have seen..Super Cool ! !

    Alex, I just loved this video! I followed Josh a while back on IG after you mentioned him before. His Malawi agates are beautiful…and so are yours! Thank you so much for this cutting video. I wonder if you’d consider doing a wee video explaining how agates are formed, how they are so different on the inside to the outside? Thanks ☺️

      And I definitely ordered another 5lbs of Malawi Babies last night. Gotta save up some Fun Money so I can get my hands on some of the bigger Malawis!

    Liked #7 as well but I'm going to suggest something different. I believe you would've gotten an even bigger flame if you'd cut it through the other orientation. Just my second guessing 😊. Got several Alamajo agates I'm looking forward to cutting myself.

    I’m a New Subscriber…. I saw the 2 year old Yellowstone River video and subscribed 😊those were all beautiful!!! I think 3 and 7 were my favorites… Off topic but about those mosquitoes…. You may want to up your game with long pants or strong mosquito spray of some kind. Just watched a video on the weather channel app that Massachusetts has a town with a curfew because the mosquitoes are carrying EEE🦠 (Equine something) it causes brain swelling and there is no treatment or vaccine. Doesn’t mean they’ll carry other farther west but just thought I’d mention it in case you haven’t heard. I hate wearing off but I’d rather take a quick shower before bed than get bitten by something dangerous. They said mosquitoes are most active at dusk which I didn’t know. Anyway, love your videos! I’m amazed at the amount of work that goes into finding those Malawi agates!!! So worth it though! ☮️💟

    • @AgateAngler

    You shld completely slab out the "Malawi Flame"; THAT'S a winner right there, be it for sale/gifts/ or giveaways.
    It wld also be v interesting if you cld somehow contrive to cut the same agate thru the centre along all 3 axes, to compare the patterns.

    With Agate #6, if you take the half in your left hand with the oval bullseye and cut it at a slightly different plane (not too far off parallel) you might miss the cracks and still bet the bullseye. Possibly the same for the half in your right hand. Just a suggestion.
