I love watching these rock cutting and polishing videos, my grandkids and I all said “wow!” at the same time! I don’t know why I get such a rush from agates, but I do, goosebumps and all. I love being a rock nerd. ❤

The black crystals are goethite 😀

The colour variety is incredible. My favourite was the blue 'tidepool' one. They are all so beautiful though.

[@sallyannchappell5671]

Its hard to pick a favourite because each one is so unique highlighting something special and different about each one.

I love your silliness, and I'll bet that you are a fun dad! Those are some killer agates! The red one is mindblowing, but I don't see it on Etsy. Someone must have snapped it up quick, and rightfully so! But then, maybe you decided to keep it. I sure wouldn't have let it go!

Wow! Outstanding agates! That one with the pinkish crystals and tourmaline is AMAZING! I would definitely keep that one too! As always, beautiful job polishing them! 😊

The last cut looks like 2 hearts💞

Thanks Josh for sharing these beautiful babies! And thanks to Taylor for the revelation!

MrBallen freaks me out too..... yet I listen to him...... beautiful cuts and polishes. Had no idea I would enjoy watching "rocks" get cut in half....... I have been binge watching your videos.... LOVE THEM.

Thanks Taylor 🧡👻 Suitably spooky music, creepy Mr Bones and AWESOME AGATES 💙 Happy Halloween from Australia 🇦🇺 🎃🎃🎃

I really wish that the equipment for this hobby wasn’t so expensive…I sm keeping my eyes 👀 open hoping to spot some used machinery that might fit my budget. Thanks for showing us this process. ❤

That little Malawi agate at the end was like opening a pomegranite!

[@pretzeltime3900]

The blue black agate would be gorgeous earrings!

[@luckyotter623]

That may be the best agate haul I've seen yet!

[@debidevaney8398]

😅😅😅😅😅 I love your humor!!!

I know very little about minerals, BUT I like jewelry with unique gemstones, so when I saw this black in rose quartz I wanted to shout "It's black tourmaline!" Tourmaline quartz looks beatiful in silver.
