Absolutely Unbelievable Treasures! Unboxing Crystals, Fossils, & More from Derek the Rock Master!

in this one, we open up two boxes I received from my good friend Derek the Rock Master! He sent an absolutely unbelievable assortment of fossils, like calcite whelks and clams, geodized brachiopods, agatized coral, and more, and rocks such as amazing Baker Thundereggs, gemmy kyanite, lignitized wood, staurolite and more! I absolute cannot believe the amazing quality of these fantastic specimens, and am so excited to get started prepping the specimens in an upcoming video! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out soon!

[@janehelbert7551]

It blows my mind to think how these were formed!

[@michaelvandyke6715]

Excellent material buddy.. Yes, I have found "Blastoids" around the Melstone/Sumatra areas in Montana... Thanks for letting us see your goody box as you unwrapped it all.... Drool rag approved! The best of the day to me, was the petwood..😮 Derek, you did very well at gifting Theo.👌

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Dude I agree with you on the Baker ranch thunder eggs! I have one that I cut and polished recently. Dude Derek freakin HOOKED you up!!!

[@Rocktwister]

Those rounds are amazing!

[@SusanLind-Kanne-dc1rx]

Fun video. ❤

[@michaelboyle9889]

The spiral one is the archimedes because it looks like his invention the archimedes screw.👍👍

[@dianelarson4609]

Thanks for sharing Theo. While hard to pick a favorite, the one that made my jaw drop was at 18:14 from Kentucky. Never seen anything like it. I also love the kyanite.

[@laurafolsom2048]

Love all you guys videos! So fun too watch. I can’t pick my chin up off the floor, all of the specimens are so amazing! I’m just discovering your community and I’m so excited to look at every ones videos.

[@hardwarefixer6822]

the arch shells are amazing

[@Algoldprospecting]

Alabama here. Stramolite is unknown to me probably walk right by them but find lots of other cool stuff. Cool pieces 😊

[@tott3457]

Friends like him are far and wide!!! Beautiful specimens ❣️

[@robbybobby6466]

I love to Knapp. I started almost 2 years ago. You ever do it before? It can be addictive to break rock!😊

[@1sec2midnight]

I think you're going to need a bigger display case. I love the staurolites. Did Derek the Rock Master prep and clean all those, because, wow, they are just so clean and perfect. Thanks for sharing.

[@derekdemeter6556]

I did! Theo got me hooked on prepping fossils and minerals! :)

[@kmabrier8066]

Absolutely amazing!!! Does Derek need another friend? 🤷🙋I must be tired because when you said it was good for knapping I thought you meant "napping".

[@fireflyidaho1]

Very cool! We actually have moon snails in Washington too

[@joycewinegarner9786]

Oh Man!!! What a haul from Derek!!! A-Friggin-Mazing dude!!! Outside of that, I need to ask you what type of camera you use now when youre out hunting and recording??? I'm hoping to find one by learning from those of you who have learned which works best... so, this is me asking. 😊

[@rotisumbuErikGemstone]

Saya dari Indonesia, dan saya sangat menyukai video anda. Kita memiliki hobi yang sama

[@joang.cavanna2046]

How could you tell they were Ark shells? The brachiopods are incredible, truly amazing. What are sand crystals and how are they formed? Did you say they were calcite? What does lignitized mean? Thank you for sharing.

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

Here in WSU Country. Instead of watching the Game, ROSIE SAYS LETS ROCK THE HOUND AT MOSCOW IDA- ho- hehehe

[@chrisvolk5198]

Those thunder eggs though

[@lizmbrad]

So that big clam with the BIG crystals, would you consider cutting it? Just curious. You got some pretty awesome pieces.

[@rebeccajones3461]

All that was outstanding. Do you know from where the thunder eggs came? Those were some of the best that I have seen.

[@jenmarsh2598]

They are from New Mexico!

[@joang.cavanna2046]

Can you make a video where you define/explain, tell how it's formed and show examples of some of the rockhound/geology terms you use? These are ones you use often that I don't know what they mean, what they are, how they're formed, or what they look like specifically: fortifications, fortification pockets, waterlines, plumes, tubes, iris, and TSA. What makes or causes the moss in mossy agates? What kind of fossils are stratmatilites and bacilites? I know you would do a get job and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate the video.

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

Specimens.

[@jenconnolly37]

Theo, Did you get the flint I sent to you from Ohio??

[@loisstump5990]

What is napping?

[@bethcorey6022]

What is a blastoid
