Oh wow! That second laguna is out of this world! All that yellow banding with the amethyst fractures is 🤩

[@johnhenry2265]

Wow. Just plain Beautiful. Thank you

[@jennystone421]

They are all stunning! Even the broken Island Agate. That yellow Laguna is just something else though. Sweet vid!!👍

[@RockhoundingLife]

Totally agree!

[@veldasnyder2144]

Loved the 2nd Laguna agate it so wow beautiful!

[@sophieusa3862]

🥇2nd Laguna Agate👍Soooooo "beauty - full"👍👏👏

Nudibranc invertebrate came to mind
That yellow is so crisp and clear and then the purple!!!

[@pretzel2272]

They are all beautiful, but the two Lagunas are insanely gorgeous! 😍😍😍

[@bonniecher3260]

Love, love, love the Malawi agate!

[@kirsiselei8703]

Omg.they all are so georgeous.personaly i love the island(broken one too)
And second cutting my fav is that laguna❤

[@barbwellman6686]

I liked the first agate that cracked into pieces. Have always wondered what a cross cut agate looks like. It Crack out better than it could have been cut.

[@IvanLopez-zh3xz]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great episode!

[@skywatcher6864]

Very nice! It's too bad the first one went ballistic on you!
Jason, my rocks show sparks and a glow from within when my saw blade isn't getting enough water. I use a wet tile cutting saw; there's a filter pad in the water pump. I take it out, clean it, squeeze it, and everything is good to go again. Your blade may still be ok, if that's the case. Thanks, for sharing! This fellow Nova Scotian always enjoys your videos!

[@lorimcgraw2482]

WOW !!!! GORGEOUS ♥️

[@jonnsgirl]

WOW!! What a stunner! That yellow is so bright 😍

[@bigjakesbackyardbuilds7412]

Hope you show that second Laguna agate polished Great vid keep them coming

[@bddollen7384]

- THE BROWN ONE HAS A CAPITOL “ R” IN OT ….?? - THE YELLOW LOOKS LIKE A REPTILE , OR CHICK FACE - MY FAV…

[@roxannsejkora1691]

I liked the first Malawi that you cut, and then the second Laguna that you cut.

[@largent45]

Wow! That second Laguna agate is outstanding! Just the overall agate is beautiful but the botryoidals are really awesome! Thanks Jason!

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

So beautiful, I really love the Malawi, because of the contrast of colour.
The first on that broke, will make nice tumbles.
Great video

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks so much 😊

[@michellestenton6430]

They are all so beautiful but the second Laguna is stunning! Thanks for sharing Jason. Love the cutting open videos to see what is inside.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Glad you like them!

[@TMB5BER]

So good !!!

[@fenix02008]

Love to see last Laguna agate under microscope. Thx for sharing Keep On Rockin❣️

[@terrydoucette6037]

I’m with the Pumpkin one lol and the first laguna

[@garriemchale5788]

Awesome find 🙌
No 2 is beautifully unique, Wow
🎉

[@garriemchale5788]

The contrasting colours and effect of its character leaves me almost speechless 😮

[@RockhoundingLife]

I think so too!

[@MysMoma5]

I just found you, my first video and that was fun. Loved them all but yeah, the Laguna was outstanding.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Welcome aboard!

[@bddollen7384]

“ DINOSAUR BONES “

[@darrinwilliams5715]

That Laguna agate was a stunner!!! Just wow😎😎

[@adventuresamNfam]

13:46 the best agate ever!🎉❤

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Laguna and Malawi win for color bands in round #1 . If I were making a display, I'd choose Laguna#2 and Malawi#1.

[@KathrynRose-schultz-qs6qw]

That last laguna agate is awesome! I have never seen one like that❤

[@RockhoundingLife]

Right?!

[@Flintytube]

All beautiful but I love the banding in the Malawi. Laguna takes it for the color and the windows!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes it was a special agate!

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

WOW, ALL VERY STUNNING

[@angelabrown5810]

I like both 1&2 the best

[@telessiajones7041]

They are all beautiful, but my favorite is the Laguna. I pick Laguna on both cuts. I love the Amythyst .

[@NickAcker2019]

There's no denying the incredible beauty the second Laguna agate has. Other than the Amethyst Limbcast you found on New Year's Day, I don't think you've been so excited! Great rocks today! 😀

[@RockhoundingLife]

Couldn't agree more!

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

Oh wow that beautiful Agate with Amethyst is beautiful

[@Ontario_Rockhound]

Laguna agates are amazing I have a couple in my collection that are quite amazing!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Yes they are!

[@melodyfaith7712]

Those Laguna are great. I have Botswana and Malawi and love them, but I really need to look into Laguna!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Lagunas are some of the best in the world

[@kareno8634]

5:15 *Tearing EYES* Inner Spirit peers Out ... Seeing Out _when within;_ Rock's Soul, watches You.
16:43 Laguna: Glowing Joy - No doubt, Cherished.

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

GORGEOUS

[@tott3457]

That Laguna was Amazing!!!

[@alicemiller3139]

Labuan by far, then the Malawi and then the Island.

[@lisawest9731]

We are so international!! VOGUE!

[@danburke261]

The second Laguna is tops in my book and I like the first Malawi as second best.

[@valsummers5330]

I was just about to say Laguna!

[@SwampDonkey64]

The second island agate looked like a giant weed seed.

[@soul_adventurist]

Hard to pick a favorite 🤩 they are all fantastic! Even the broken one is gorgeous. I think I’m going with the laguna because of the parallax banding . I would love to see it polished ❤

[@RockhoundingLife]

I totally agree!

[@shannel318]

Holy cow, those are all beautiful!! It’s Christmas just seeing you cut those open!! Amazing agates!! Love that you share your wonderful rocks!! Laguna, Malawi then island too tough to call!! ⛏🥰

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you so much!

[@crvvegt]

I like the island agate

[@graemero5532]

Both Lagunas were Amazing 🤩

[@bddollen7384]

- L U V L U V L U V THEM ALL …!!

[@OccamsSledgehammer]

4:23 it looks like an eye

[@sallyshafer914]

yeah I agree with you the Laguna is the best...

[@cherylsnead727]

Laguna ❤❤❤

[@kimdedominicis6893]

Beauties! For both rounds I pick this order: Laguna, Malawi, Island.

[@RockhoundingLife]

100%

[@Mike-br8vb]

World class Laguna!

[@bddollen7384]

- SHAPE IS IRRELEVANT .. !!! - 😢

[@megalithia9805]

The first Malawi is a superb piece for that locality. Lagunas are generally considered the best in the world, and both of those did not disappoint. The white things on the outside of the yellow band are cone structures. They look really cool under magnification.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for the onfo and imsight! Super interesting!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

✨Holy Laguna✨
That's all I got to say 🙌

[@RockhoundingLife]

100%

[@outdooradventureswithfayde6832]

OMG! 😍

[@keithcunningham7925]

I like the luguna

[@bddollen7384]

- SHARPEN YOUR BLADE …!!

[@RockhoundingLife]

100%

[@gcegubbels4734]

The btoking is nice to tumberling

[@thunderbirdsigns]

Lagunaaaaaaaaa
keeper

[@Charl-Viljoen]

Malawi agate gets my vote as the best 🙂

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

I liked the blue one best

[@bddollen7384]

- ON THE RIGHT - ??

[@cindyshort7859]

1 laguna

[@cindyshort7859]

Second Laguna the best

[@notinmanitou]

I think you should polish them before voting.

[@bfunkiee1]

Yep amazing how a blunt or cheap blade can wreck a world class agate done it many times. Spend the money and keep it sharp and you can save fractured agates. Or they survive the cutting.
Shapen the blade by cutting soft sandstone, it knocks sandstone grains out and they roll between blade and stone sharpening it. When the blade jitters it needs truing.

[@RockhoundingLife]

The saw did not damage this agate.

[@bfunkiee1]

I'm seeing your saw blow out the back of loads of the agates you are cutting, damaging perfect specimens. I know because iv done it loads myself. A lot less nowadays tho..

[@glenn5903]

Malawi first. Laguna 2nd.

[@glennplatvoet7111]

Ohh milowe is best in batch #1

[@meredithwhidden8712]

I don't like that your saw is chipping the edges of your agates. What is going on??

[@RockhoundingLife]

Dull blade

[@ArtemisAgamalian-Buell]

Oh my God, please get a protective tool for your saw. Your fingers are so close to the saw 😢

[@RockhoundingLife]

Please watch this video:
czcams.com/users/shortsqf8abF5eVbU?si=WQtS1DLjjxpF92PS

[@steveegbert7429]

I hope you didn't pay top dollar for those island agates that blew up. I would be too embarrassed to sell those to someone if I had clue they were that fractured. Sure, you could probably salvage some smaller cuts off of them, but that's probably not what you paid for. The Laguna's were great!

[@RockhoundingLife]

I didn't pay for them.

[@steveegbert7429]

@@RockhoundingLife Well, that's a plus😃

[@bddollen7384]

RAW STONE EARRINGS - + A NECKLACE ….… !!!!

[@user-go7eu2ie4l]

Kind of boring to watch the cuttings twice.

[@RockhoundingLife]

Sorry 😔
