hey everybody welcome back for another video today we're going to be cutting two potential agates
from the U.P i got these sent to me by a guy named cameron so i wanted to say thank you to cameron
and maggie for sending me some stuff to cut i really hope that these are agates on the inside
but they were thinking they were and i gotta say by the skin of them if they are agates
which a part of me does believe that they are lake superior agates
they are very very beach horn but there is some waxiness to them both of them this one
i almost thought it might be chert of sorts but we're going to cut them open
hopefully they're lake superior agates so let's fire up the saw and see what we got
all right my face mask was fogging up a little bit there let's take a peek at the first one here
see what we got do a little rinse i'm not gonna peek at it let's check
ah it is an agate look at that right in here
right there
cool i am so happy that it is an agate got a big old fracture right in the middle there
i wasn't sure
look at that all right well we'll cut this other one and then we'll see what that is and we'll see
some more close-up details after we cut this one too
so we got that one cut and it felt like an agate definitely took a while to cut and uh
yeah let's take a peek
oh my
i know what it is it's a chert it's kind of what i thought
that is
that wow it's so beautiful
look at the bands in there
and these details it's just so so unique
wow
that is really pretty it's almost like a banded shirt flow channel
interesting
very very cool so glad to know that this is chert and i gotta say i honestly thought this
one was gonna be an agate and that was gonna be something else because i thought this is limonite
higher chances higher probability of it being agate
but here's the agate if you guys are up in the u.p of michigan rockhounding now you kind of know
this kind of stuff to bring home you just never know because honestly if i saw these
on a beach i probably won't have grabbed them but i've also never rock counted up in the up
that is very pretty
so unique definitely a very unique you know variation not quite sure exactly what it is but
absolutely 100 percent lake superior agate
very very cool well i know it's a bit of a shorter video i hope you guys enjoyed
it do me a huge favor leave a thumbs up and click on one of these four videos right now
