Those are cool

How to get rid of iron stains

I love the way you edited this. Picking up what you have and going right to the cut halves - really cool. I am trying to swing out here following a snowboarding trip out West in a couple weeks.

❤

I could spend a whole weekend here, and it’s only about 1.5 hours from my house

What is the deference between calcite an celestite?

Hi, try not to rotate them. I am cutting with a tile saw also.

This is by far the best video I've seen from you.

Wonderstone has interesting patterns; other stones are good, too. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting stones! Does the Blue Opal have any "fire"? I'm glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing.

The Rugged Rockhound After you make the initial cut to open the rocks, do you then st least make a slice/slab from one half of one side to see what is hidden below/beyond? Many years ago when I was cutting rocks I had collected from various travels throughout U.S. & elsewhere, I did as I had suggested to you. Always interesting surprises! Thanks for sharing; loved them all, especially the fossils.

Hi, I am in loveland. I just wanted to know how to find places to dig it looks like you're on dirt roads. I am new at this. I'm an older woman who can't really climb much. I just like pretty rocks. If you can help me out a little, please do. Thanks, Carol

That first septarian is fantastic! I should correct that. They all are!

Wow, the variety of agates and jaspers is amazing. Looking forward to more cuts!

Where is this at? Apparently there are places called Red Hill in several states lol.

So glad to see you are better. Thank you for sharing your treasures. I hope you are doing rock hounding this year. 😃

Glad to see you again! Hope you keep getting better.

If you’re ever back in Idaho I’ll come help you out 😊

Praying for your healing. Eat healthy, lots of vibrant colored fruits and veggies can help.

HAPPY AND GLAD YOU ARE DOING BETTER.

I hope they find out what’s wrong. And get it fixed. God bless

Cladapora is a species. Hexagonaria is a species. Charlevoix is a location. Petoskey is a location. One of the rocks looked like it may be oolitic jasper or oolitic chert but you fast forwarded the video play so I could not get a good look at it. It might be helpful to keep in mind that rockhounds like to see the rocks when we watch videos about rocks 😂 The septarians are spectacular! The fossil soup is fantastic! I enjoyed seeing the wonderful gifts from your friend. 😊

The smoothed-out rocks here look really neat. Not something I find in a desert area!

Good to hear you are getting better!

Nice to see a new rock video out by you!

Hope you're still doing well enjoy your show look for more take care

Still in junction? I am in Loma and looking for people to rockhound and lapidary with

I know this is an older thread but I see some from a year ago so figured I would let anyone else like me who just found your video, that area is all under active claims. The drawbacks to sharing specifics in your threads (which I do appreciate but this is typically what happens if you do). Great info and your new videos are fantastic! Love the way you splice your cut rocks into the locating videos. Thank you!!!

Can you tell us how to find flint or churt?

The ones cut with the fractures would be some good tumblers.

Glad to see you back, you’re on of the first rockhound KZbinrs I got into. Will be hitting up the red hill area again when the snow melts.

Nice pieces! They look super cool! I really wish I could meet other rockhounds in my area. I’m doing this all on my own and it’s scary. I’m a girl and my dad was an English teacher so I didn’t really get to work with tools growing up. We don’t have a geology club in my area. I’m scared to use my saw, so I’ve just been tumbling stones for now. Maybe one day I’ll get the courage to cut a rock 😅

Does anybody know how to clean coal off of petrified wood?

Please do not show waypoints. You are ruining rockhounding spots.😢

Any technique to repair overacidified benitoite with some kind of epoxy for benitoite after intense etching? My specimen is full of fractures that turns white after drying

Last one looks like the side view of a swallow tail butterfly

The plier rocks could be eyes in a bigger picture rock project

This wonderstone is very pretty. Different from the Vernon rocks. How hard is this stone? Do you tumble any rocks? I never see you tumble & polish.

Thanks for showing your finds cut open. Some fantastic rocks there.

Just seeing this now, 2 years after it was published, very cool. I have to wonder -- the geodes found on the surface at various distances from the geode bed or seam, could they have started out with decent color and now be white because they have been exposed for so long. ?? Great finds for sure!

I'm happy you are feeling better. I've followed you for a long time after finding a video you did for the Grand Junction area. We recently moved to Boise so if you make it this way, let me know and I'll take you out to a few of the spots I've found. :D

Thanks for posting this. I use wonderstone as bases for some of my small sculptures (I am a blacksmith) and had a random thought that it might be nice to collect the rocks myself. While it would be fascinating to pick up rockhounding as a new skill, I think I'm going to continue to rely on my local dealer. Utah is thousands of miles away . . . .

Subscribed ✌️ hoping to make it out here next spring

I live in Northwest new Mexico. I've always loved rock hounding. I had a few head injuries and can't really remember what was valuable or not. I know I still have buckets full of rocks that I collected before. And just kind of go by what I had already. I love your channel. thank you for posting. I hope you and your loved ones are in great health keep going on adventures and posting your finds!

Very nice

The Wonderstone looks like bacon!😂

You drove right by one of my favorite spots with Burro Canyon formation. The stuff you ID’d as Barite is most likely Acyclical Crystaline Aragonite. Which is pernicious in the area. Get into Brushy Basin formation and you will stub your toe on hunks of “fools Wood” . It fizzes in acid, and is noted in the Agate Quadrangle Geological map. I have also found agate replaced aragonite “fools wood”. Some smaller agates in the wash running through the Slickrock & Moab Entrada sandstone, are likely from Dewey Bridge member of Entrada sandstone.

I do t know why KZbin suggested this to me, but I just want to go trail running there. It looks so pretty and secludedz

Awesome stuff, great video

We are so very Glad & Happy for You that YOU are Getting and Doing Better. We Are Praying for a Faster / Speedy Recovery.
