  • Let's cut open some amazing agates from Africa! These beautiful agate gems are from the southern part of the Sahara and were sent to me as a gift to cut open and see what wonders will be hiding inside! These agates were cut on my 10" lapidary saw with the thin sintered blade, see the Hi Tech Diamond link below for more info. I am planning on polishing these beauties in another lapidary video in the future so make sure to subscribe to stay tuned for that!

    Thank you all for watching this lapidary cutting video where we use our 10" lapidary slab saw to slice open these beautiful agate gems from Africa. I had a ton of fun seeing inside these amazing minerals. I really loved all the agate bands as well as the geode pocket full of crystals! It would be very fun to go rockhounding in the sahara desert where these were found, maybe someday. I will polishing these on our 8" cabking cabbing machine in the future, see you then!

    Dude as a fellow military member (Marine) it is so awesome to see the joy you have coming out when your doing your videos. I find the same joy woodworking. It’s neat to see and I enjoy watching all your old and new videos. Watching your videos definitely helps my PTSD from the wars. You are an inspiration to anyone who wants happiness in their life.

    Love your rock room! Great poster🤩. All of the different details each agate has is so awesome! It looked like some had little eyes in the agate bits, some had plumes, a little geode pocket and all of the crazy bands. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing these with us Taylor! Now I know what African agates look like inside.✌️🤠

    We can hear in your voice that you were ‘beaming ear-to-ear’!😁 I was really excited to see what was in there, too! Found myself saying out loud ‘wow’, ‘OOH!’, and ‘WHOA!!!’ Those macros were amazing! Was really interested in your cutting that first ‘bumpy’ one- made me think that it was formed out of super hot lava-esque material millions of years ago. So cool!!!

    Have to love how much variety is in these agates. You should keep an eye out for Berber Agates, I think those will be right up your alley!
