Cutting Lake Superior agates open on my lapidary saw!
Ойын-сауық
I cut open eighteen Lake Superior agates and the beauty hidden inside was shocking!! This batch of agate gems was sent to us by Evan and I was so happy that so many of these amazing minerals were absolute bangers! It is always so fun seeing inside these agates when they are cut open on our lapidary saws. No two are the same and it is a blast seeing inside them for the first time!

Hi agate dad how can a person get ahold of you personally?

What determines the way you cut them and have you ever sliced each one in many slices ? Some sliced in more than 1 slice tell stories
That was incredible to watch! Man thank you so much for this opportunity again I’m so happy to share these beauties 🥰🥰

Amazing finds Evan!! Thank you for sending them to Taylor to cut❤
Hi Taylor! I started watching your rock hounding videos a couple of years ago and I've recently started watching your cutting videos and I'm completely addicted!🥰
The first one you show I would call the "Fire Agate". With it's reds and oranges would be the fire and the white bands and the Quartz acting as smoke. Nice agate!!! And the last one you cut open could be The Magical Shroom. And we are the second people to see inside these agates. First being mother nature herself. She was the one to have the formula for all these agates.
15:14 i really love the mossy ones, they are always so different.
What a surprise at 7:52🙉
I hope you have some of those beauties left if I watch later. Always enjoy your reaction to the surprises though😊
Wow! Those agates were phenomenal! Really gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! 😊
I simply love them all~ I'm enjoying your videos so much. I hopped on here first thing this morning to make my day! Thank you for sharing your rock hunting and cutting videos with us!
Exceptional agates. It’s like Christmas, all these gifts . I liked the last one of course, but my favorite is the orange one after the 4th or 5th agate cut. Loved that one. I could watch you cut all day. Thank you so very much. An entertainer in addition.
Thanks for sharing, I love those mossy agates they are like miniature works of art .😊
Why is watching u cut agates so fricken addictive? I'm like, gotta get my fix man 😂 my fave was actually the one w/ the blue diamond shape, but these all were super 😎! Even the kinda meh ones were really pretty 😊 thanks 4 letting us in on your wonderful cuts.
7:38 that is such a crazy looking one! Wow! It's so busy and just neat.
I’m so addicted to agate cutting!

Wow, so many great agates. Hard to choose a favorite one. Although the last one was 'oh my gosh' worthy!!
The last 2 are my favorites! The second to last had some cool diamond shapes in it. All in all there are some sweet Agates in there! Thanks for sharing them!
I'm so glad I found this channel, I'm really enjoying it. I get a kick out of his pronunciation of certain words. So weird how dialect varies from state to state. 💕
That was a master class of studs. That is what LSA is all about. Too cool😎😎

I liked the one at 8:00 but the last one was my favorite!
A beautiful lot of agates. Thanks for sharing Evan and cutting them Agate Dad🤗🎉
🤩🤩 that was awesome. I can feel my Blood pressure going down when I watch your videos. Besides the obvious last one my favorite was that mossy/quartz one at the 14:15 mark. I absolutely love your videos. Keep 'em coming.
That second to last one got you good!!
Hello Taylor, I have never commented on your channel before now and I'm sorry to say I have watched every single one of your videos! This video has blown me away and in my opinion is the best one you have ever done. It's edited beautifully and the content is awesome and the stars of the show as always the stunning agates. Im a collector and and cut and polish agates too so know how much hard work goes into it all. Keep up the good work best wishes from Tracy in Scotland.
The last one you cut is so beautiful 😍
16:38 dang now that is a nice diamond shape. And the colors are really pretty.
That last one is a 10+
, you so much for sharing those absolutely gorgeous agates with us. I really enjoyed the great reveals. Stunning!
I work with grinders and diamond blades , trimming bathtubs. Just made a table to trim panels, I definitely can make my own rock cutting setup, and my sister hunts agates . Wicked cuts
Holy wow, just incredible pieces, love them all, so much fun to cut those I bet! The world is special!

Great agates! The one you called an albatross? I saw a Phoenix, it was upside down, but it even had the corona of fire around it!!!

What a bunch of gorgeous agates!
Beautiful set of agates!
Sooooo satisfying.
Those are just beautiful 💕
What a wonderful variety!
These were all fabulous!!!! Amazing!
One type that I'd love to be able to cut would be a copper replacement agate with alternating agate and copper bands.
Thank you, Evan!
Really nice batch of agates. I love the reveals
All so beautiful
Super!
Beautiful batch 💥 great editing too!
Awesome! Even lucked out!
Nice!!!!
They really are amazing. Love to watch. Thanks
Honestly i wanted to comment on every one of them but thought that might get a bit annoying lol. I love watching you cut. I used to get nervous watching your fingers get so close but I've watched so many of your videos now that i don't worry anymore cause i know you know what you are doing. You rock 😁
Very good ❤
The white flameis phenomenal 🎉
Thank you Evan!

The last one looks like a mushroom....I love it
The last one you cut (teasing us about not showing the cut). I saw a human head profile with an electric charge coming from the spine going up to the brain. You are so fun to watch.
11:59 i was not expecting the purpleish pink in that one.
Fire ❤️🔥
@AgateDad these are incredible! One right after the next was 🔥! My fiancé who’s not really a rockhound like I am watched this with me and he was even in awe! (I don’t know how you can’t be 😮) lol but I love your videos! I am planning to go up to Lake Superior sometime this year. Do you ever cut them for viewers? Anyway keep the great videos coming! They are super entertaining!! 🤩😎
7.30 time stamp…OH MY GOSH…what a shocker inside! Beautiful! ❤

Hard to say which is my fave. You must be in agate heaven!!!
The ugly one right before you changed the blade is very similar to one I have. I may have to get a saw.
18:22 it's like a psychedelic mushroom. Very cool.
Nice video, I'm curious about whether or not there is a market for peices like yours, and the initial start up process...?
❤❤❤❤❤
Why cut in half, instead of 1/3rds? Genuine Q? Thanks!
Have you tried blue light to any of your cuts? I know there are rocks off lake superior that are known for that
The last one looks like a broccoli 🥦 to me 😂
Would the banded sections of these agates that are that beautiful blue be Blue Lace Agate?
I’ve been watching loads of your videos, it’s like Christmas sometimes! Very fun videos. Also you are very charming. Question - when you talk about “tubes” what do you mean?
Educate me - why do agates have bands and where do the fractures come from? From being tossed and hitting surfaces hard? I like the fractures. It’s like a oopsie daisy that’s gonna leave a scar 😂
How do you decide where to cut?
Ok, got excited when you said amethyst, but no!!! Actually it is so perfect inside, that it was ok that there was no amethyst. Beautiful banding and coloring!
👀DANG!👀
Use the black light!!

Like opening a 🎁
Saved the best for last. My favorite is at 7:44. So strange looking, but so awesome. Any idea what type of lake superior agate? 😮

I'm no expert but I believe it could be a fragmented membrane agate.
