    You are not rambling, you are gushing! And we LOVE it!
  • @bethsumner5324
    Love the one with the “nose” because once you cut it, it has brown eyes! The others are so beautiful!
  • @jasonvahl9770
    I gasped when you revealed the bands of "The Face" that's an awesome stone!
  • The last one was stunning to see and for me personnaly.... there's no such thing as "just a rock". Each and every pebble has its own beauty, you need to know how to 'see' it. 💜
  • @deballey5688
    Looks like little amethyst galaxies in couple of those!
  • You truly turn these pebbles into precious gems - like magic! Thanks so much for sharing!

    It never ceases to amaze me that we humans are the only beings on earth that really appreciate the beauty of rocks, except maybe some that like 'shiny things'. It's like God made them just so we could appreciate another layer of His creativity.

    I think you should keep both halves of that last agate you cut because when they are opened up next to each other it looks like a butterfly or owl's eyes. It's very striking! Love them all and thank you for another great video. ❤from Idaho
  • Thanks for your take on how and where to cut the agates. The larger pastel one is beautiful. The last one…is definitely a winner!
  • @audraacklin9826
    That's so cool how one side has yellow and the other side has orange. Pretty! ❤😃
  • @madelynl.5351
    You really hit the jackpot with this video! Every one is awesome! And your “theory” more than proved itself correct. Congrats!
  • @user-jx9qv5in9l
    I get just as excited every time you open up one up! Nice nose job on the head😂
  • @c.j.walton3763
    The very first one looks like there's a tiny pearl in the left side. So pretty.
  • They are all so beautiful and the polishing just magnifies that beauty!
  • @pattijareo7423
    I am so happy that you made this video! The very best thing was...."I guess.". LOL!! Made me feel better.😉 I would love to get into this hobby in a very big way, but living in Omaha does not lend itself to many opportunities. Meanwhile, I am vicariously enjoying every adventure you have and loving your excitement! Blessings from an old gramma in Omaha! 💕💕
