    This is my favorite type of your videos: fussing through landscape, (my dad on walks, "stop fussing around in the weeds"); poking around in rocks, I like to see you finding them, (dad: "stop playing in the rocks--put those back"); washing them off to see what they look like, (dad: " does your mother know you're using her dish towels?"), then cutting them open to see inside. (dad general, repeated comment: "don't touch that.") Only thing missing is to show one or two polished to see them from beginning to end.

    The white stuff is most likely a salt that precipitated out but didn’t mix into the silica. Or it is a silicate salt that just didn’t form the same as the rest of the agate. I would be super curious on its identity (a calcium salt maybe?) but unless you have access to a chem lab you probably won’t ever know for sure.

    I live in Florida. There are no rocks here. Everything is some form of Calcium, except agatized coral and some chert. But I'd have to drive pretty far to get near a place to hunt. And I don't know where to hunt!
