You're so charming, I love the fact that you'd buy a second one, absolute genius

Jared says he has read 100's of informational documents. How the hell can I verify THAT?

3 years later tip! A black plastic dish and water. It's much easier to see what you are looking at when you can roll it around trying to catch the light.

It turned out beautiful!

Cool video What's the benefits of this machine vs a flat lap?

Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: As always... an amazing video! The photos are rad! Amazing world beyond the naked eye, huh? If you ever do find out what some of those are... do us an update!

Súper

Sedimentary rock has always compacted by pressure solution of quartz: Proposed Method for Shale Compaction Kinetics", 2021.

That might be one of those spots on the crystal collectors videos. Where he dug crystals.

What a great hunt! I love the spider egg specimen 😂. It looked fantastic under the microscope! Hopefully, you can get an Id. The Topaz is amazing!

Hi Jared. I'm assuming the host rock is a rhyolite, similar to the Thomas Range area where topaz and bixbyite are found. Your orange botryoidal material looks likely to be either chalcedony or opal probably coloured by hematite. The black crystal looks trigonal and is most likely hematite. Some of your topaz looks like quartz to me. Having said that, I'm obviously only seeing it in 2D, but I reckon that I do see some hexagonal prisms, just on their sides hiding the terminations. Quartz and topaz can be tough to tell apart sometimes.

Thank you, Jared and Sara!

Could it be wulfenite?

Pseudobrookite possibly for the black blade mineral. That is something that is commonly found as micro around that part of the state.

The red “sp😅der egg” rock is a beauty. ❤

Looks kind of like botroidal fire agate

You might look at how facetters polish quartz. They regularly complain that quartz is one of the hardest things to polish, but Vintage Time had good luck with very fine diamond powder and sewing machine oil on a metal lap.

These are some really outstanding micros.

Loyal lyica, beautiful wife, rock hounding Utah! You my friend are living a wonderful life! Thank you for educating us and documenting these fantastic videos and I hope for many more years of your family's success!

Could the red rock be arsenic?

11:08 It appears to be two fossils I can see one is curly cue and the other looks like a horseshoe crab.

Sounds like you’re making popcorn

Thank you

what are you using to take the closeup pictures of the rocks back in your "office"?

Flower looks like Bitterroot

your videos always remind me how much i love living here in utah. I can drive 1-2 hours in any direction and find awesome rocks/minerals. thanks for this one, it was fun

17:32 I FOUND THIS VIDEO SOMEWHAT USEFUL BUT I WAS HOPING TO HEAR PRICES ON HOW MUCH I WOULD EXPECT TO PAY FOR A SAW THAT COULD CUT LARGER PIECES

We also found petrified wood

Me and my daughter and I found a really interesting spot about 15 miles outside of elko nevada on hyway 225 mountain city hyway, past Adobe lights, just past fossil digs, on top of hill. You spot this place by a pit the hyway maintance used. Just north is a water tank for cows. You have to go through a gate to get to it. Lots of clear quarts, chalcedny lost of agates crystals a unique are with verity of colors and interesting geology.

Some great finds. Sara that rock with the red orange is stunning and so interesting. Thanks guys!

Good video.
