@@BelkassemAyoub hello!

Hello, if you are interested in gypsum metal, I will send you the pictures

@ thanks for your inquiry. I’m focused on education not purchasing rocks and minerals

@@Puru-zk9ge thank you very much! I have much information in the video description areas-translated into many languages

@@HoboMinerals Good suggestion-thx! Note that I have a number of recent #shorts videos showing various slag rocks and related structures. But I hope to make a longer video on the topic in the future…. Note also that I have lots of notes in the video description areas for #shorts videos…. When I view various rock identification channels on Facebook, many people have pieces of slag that they want identified. Many of them think the slag sample is either a meteorite, lava rock, or obsidian. Slag composition varies by location- based on what was smelted/manufactured. Many people confuse slag with rocks…. Obviously, the iron and copper deposits in Michigan probably relate to slag from local smelters.

Thanks for the nice comment!

Thx very much! I appreciate your comment!

@@jneal4154 you have great observations here. However, xenoliths are common to many granitic rocks. I know the Index granite well, and not only is the general background color to this sample a bit off from Index granite, this rock was cut in the 2000s at Marenakos rock center in Issaquah-probably either from one of the many glacial erratic boulders they quarried, or from another quarry site. The index granite quarry closed in the 1960s…. Here is a video of some actual Index granite that I collected and cut from the Index quarry site in the 1990s: Index Granite Architectural Stone ID'd kzbin.inforxRZ0bRk9vA?feature=share , and here is a video of Index Granite on the steps of the Washington State Capitol’s Temple of Justice building: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inPOhmyjqbV7rtUsi=vkojCbsrJCfUxdOs

Thx much for watching! I appreciate it!

Thx very much! I recommend checking out Deer Park when the road is open in the summer. The views are awesome-almost 6,000 feet above the Strait of Juan de Fuca!

I’m not sure what you mean by this, unless you explain further.

@@KevinFournier-xd3ub thx much! I’m glad you like it! It is really so scenic there. I love Ptarmigan Ridge

Thx very much for the nice comments. This was a showcase video to demonstrate how to use 3D in educational videos. Nearly every video on this channel uses 3D. I’m slowly getting better at it, b/c many 3D images are challenging. Of course the visual aspects are worth the effort!

@@GeologyDude I too am a Geology Dude... subscribed to your channel.

@@SJR_Media_Group Thx very much! Your comments made my day! =)

You are correct that the color is similar to silica sand. However, kaolin is clay-not sand. Kaolin is chemically very different than sand, and therefore has characteristics that are completely different than sand (but quite useful in other ways because of these differences).

So Is Caulin?

@ yes it is kaolin or kaolinite

@abdulnafikhan6896 I didn’t know that. But I like it because it shows the porphyry minerals so well. Thanks for letting me know

@@Aloekunyep thx for the comment!

You’re welcome Glen!

opps steel

@@Matthew-r1r I think that there are some slag deposits leftover there. But I haven’t been there for many years. I don’t think the slag size there is large-but who knows? Of course the video shows a playground model made of concrete

@@RefinedbyGod-o4x yes, I can make it blue. But I felt the unusual color went well with the green color model. Usually use different colors to help differentiate each spin angle. Thx for watching!

It is roughly ten feet high and 8 feet wide, but that doesn't count the substantial amount buried below ground. Also, you must consider the ability to get appropriately-sized equipment nearby to move it. Yes, they could nudge it around a bit, but it could not be easily moved far without breaking it apart first... As an additional example: I have friends in Kirkland, where a utility trench next to their house exhumed a 3-4 foot diameter boulder (obviously much smaller). The city wasn't sure what to do with it because it was so big. But the city was very happy when my friends allowed to be nudged onto their property as a large landscaping boulder.... Some years back, another utility trench north of Seattle exhumed a large boulder--roughly the same size as the rock in this video. It was decided to leave it in the trench and rebury it (because it was too big to remove and haul elsewhere).

Yes I have seen it. BTW, I interviewed an old stone quarrier from Bremerton in the 1990s. His company quarried away a glacial boulder almost identical in size to the Wedgewood rock. It was used for local tombstones and building stone. In fact, the entry of the Kitsap County Courthouse in Pt. Orchard has some of that old erratic in the building (in the 1947 addition).

Ha ha. Thanks very much for geeking out here for a bit. I really appreciate it!

Thanks very much!

@@Jetrockgirl When I bought it, it was labeled as jet. It is cut and polished along the sides. So it isn’t in a natural shape. But I’m sincerely interested in why you think it isn’t jet. I’m not an expert in jet. So I will sincerely listen to you

Thanks for the comment. I will check on this based on your information.

@@shanglyshangly9173 Awesome! Thx. I love maps like this for those little details - like ravines

@GeologyDude and seeing the cows and horses grazing OMG

@@shanglyshangly9173 LOL!

Thx very much! There aren’t many of those around! And this example spends half the year under snow.

Great to see you back!

Thanks very much! I appreciate that!

@@indiecuttingroom I use photogrammetry with existing topographic landform maps. There are some notes in the video description area
