These Rocks Will BLOW YOUR MIND | World Class Gemstones, Fossils, & More - Coffee & EPIC Viewer Mail

[@parleygeorge7164]

Alex - You humble me with your video that shows the rocks I sent to you were part of your latest video on KZbin. I have been collecting since the early 1970's and have amassed a few hundred pounds of rock (maybe a few ton). Always happy to help someone that is starting to enjoy what I consider the greatest and most rewarding hobby in the world. I always enjoy Kip's and your videos. A great pair to watch! Keep the videos coming.

[@TinaHyde]

That was an incredible gift you sent Alex! Such a diverse collection of stuff we don’t see much of here in Ohio. Oregon rocks! Thanks for sharing!

[@AgateAngler]

It was the least I could do Parley! They are all such amazing treasures! I've got a package headed your way soon.

[@nanettebarling1222]

Lol Nevermind, I can ask myself! Hi Parley, im Nanette. I've been collecting for about the same amount of Years. That cut off box that you sent has a piece of white agate with brownish inclusions that are round a smooth. Of you have a name for that one? Location info is here in the comments to Alex. I have some old ones that haven't been sawed if you're still working on stuff.

[@parleygeorge7164]

@@nanettebarling1222 If you will send me the time of the video that the agate appears, I will definitely try to identify. I went through Alex's video and I found him holding a clear piece of agate with black spherical inclusions. That one is Montana agate. Yes, I am still cutting and polishing stones. The only problem is that winter is approaching and my shop does not have heat in it. Therefore it has been winterized. I will be cutting normally in mid-March or April. My email address is [e-mail].

[@susiecraddock3147]

How freaking nice of you, and what an awesome collection you sent out! ❤❤❤

[@drmartinyoung3761]

In a world where hate and conflict are emphasized and promoted it fills my heart to see a post about the kindness of strangers! Thanks for sharing!

[@AgateAngler]

I'm glad I could share their generosity!

[@donnawest866]

Parley and Tessa, you are such generous people! I get so much pleasure seeing the beautiful stones and fossils Mother Earth provides! And when talented people like all of you get hold of them and you do your magic....it’s just WOW!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@terrylschumacher-levy5150]

Just stunning material from the both of you P and T. And Tessa, as well you've seen, the rockhounding community it so generous, friendly, and kind. Start your KZbin channel and watch your joy grow 🌿🌳🌳🌳

[@TheoKellison]

That's quite the care package! Lots of gems in there! Gotta love those picture jaspers. Stromatolites are fossilized bacterial algal matts and are among the oldest fossils ever discovered (we're talking billions of years). They are super cool. Oh my gosh that dryhead! Awesome vid bud👍

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks Dude! I think we are well overdue for a hunt. I'll message you. Perhaps next week?

[@TheoKellison]

@@AgateAngler sounds great my friend! I am free every monday and tuesday but if weather is looking a bit iffy i can probably work out a different day👍 just checked the weather and it looks like we should be getting an upswing in temperature at the end of the month so that could make for a good hunt i think! Supposed to be 19 on monday so it might take a hammer and chisel to get the agates out of the ground😂

[@QuartzCowboy]

Your fans are amazing!

[@lynneperg6853]

Stromatolites are an algae growth phenomena. They Form as mats of algae, multiple layers develop. They sort of look like legs sticking out of the ocean topped by a green scummy layer. You can still find them in some areas of the world. Stromatolites were one of the first life forms on planet Earth. We find their fossilized remains on some of the beaches along Lake Michigan. For a better explanation google them.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

I have a TON of druse quartz on fossil stromatolite from Missouri. I’ll be doing videos on it soon!

[@davidcwilson6006]

Stromatolites of the Medicine Bow Mountains, is good video explaining stromatolites. Other vids show them still growing off west coast of Australia

[@donnabeaudin9114]

Parley and Tessa, so kind,and generous of you to share these beautiful finds! I not only enjoy the beauty of these treasures, but also being educated about all the variety that can be found! Thank you!

[@MichiganRocks]

Hey Alex, thanks for the mention! I don't have time to watch all the other rock hunters on KZbin, so I missed this one. @Mary-Ann Swanson just left a comment on my channel telling me about this video. I'm glad you have a few Michigan rocks in your collection!

[@GermanGemcutter]

1:37 Treasure Troves🤩 My Favorites Beacon Hill Thunderegg🤤 Plume Agate Oregon and the Idaho Moss Agate Cabs👍 Fantastic Jasper Specimens, great Packets👏👏👏

[@susanwoodson7727]

All so pretty! Tessa definitely needs to go forward with her plans. I love the beach finds. She picked up things I would have picked for sure. Thanks to Tessa and Harley for the beautiful rocks they sent to you!

[@BryanJordanMusic]

That Dryhead Gate was stunning! I think it has been collected out, actually, so that is a score! What a generous gift.

[@TheOldladyB]

What awesome people to send you those amazing rocks. They are gorgeous.

[@sandmaker]

Another fun video. Keep them coming. I love picture jasper and all jaspers. Be safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

Parley and Tessa how generous you are, thank you for the video AA, My favourites- moss agate and all of the jaspers.❤️

[@AgateAngler]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed!

[@rockreader4298]

So Kip, What do you have to say to your fans? Kip - I see the rocks, But .... Where's the water? Where's the stick? You got a once in a lifetime museum quality collection ! I'm impressed. I love rocks ! Big Thanks to Parley and Tessa for having such Big Hearts. : )

[@bunk9991]

You have no idea how special that Stromatolite is. I went on Ebay looking for a piece with that same pattern and its impossible to find! That person that donated that to you is a very gracious and selfless person.

[@lisacooper8240]

I have been a rock lover since I was old enough to walk. My anxiety has always held me back from pursuing the hunt. I do have a few rocks I've collected over the years, but I have always envied the rockhounds that have gone out and hunted for stones. thank you for showing those beautiful pieces. and a loud shout out to all the generous people out there who sent those stones.

[@batman31261]

Thanks for sending that stuff to be shown they were all awesome.

[@SugarplumFairy01]

Awesome! Wish I could afford to travel and collect rocks from all over! Beautiful!!! Spectacular!!! Stunning!!! Thank you Parley and Tessa for sending these so I could see!!!!

[@hukeaz]

This program is made possible by viewers like you! Thank you pasley and Tessa! And thank you Alex for sharing🤙🏽

[@cynthiakoepke2649]

WOW❣️❣️❣️ Fantastic samples... Think I might’ve drooled a bit😍🤤😲🥰

[@dragonxfilms]

After the intro... I was thinking maybe if you end up doing merchandise you could do Agate Angler coffee mugs!

[@terrylschumacher-levy5150]

...and put a rock inside each one! 👍

[@AgateAngler]

Haha! Wouldn't that be something! I have considered limited merchandise, but I think the channel will have to grow quite a bit more before I put the time and effort into organizing that.

[@vickygoodwin9771]

Thank you, I do enjoy your videos and appreciate the time you spend to keep it going! Thank you Parley and Tessa for sharing your gorgeous finds and validate talents! I think I loved the thundetegg agates the best! Thank you again!

[@marsharamsay2793]

Hi Alex Great job on the polished rocks. I remember when you found them. Congrats on the gift boxes from Parley and Tessa. Good luck to both of them on their rock trips and its very nice of them to share the rocks with you.

[@rasedase4899]

I can’t decide what is my favorite....all of them 😉

[@AgateAngler]

I second this!

[@stellabelikiewicz1523]

Parley, you absolute ROCK STAR! I hadn’t even HEARD of most of these crazy types of rocks, and I’m in love with every one of them! That turritella agate is just unreal. Rockhound on, my friend!

[@joane.landers9151]

What an awesome gifts you received from Parley & Tessa. Glad I found I found your You Tube channel. Over the years when Iv'e been able to travel throughout USA and portions of Eastern Canada, I've picked up various stones some of which I've cut/polished. What fun! Thanks for sharing!

[@winnievanorden1]

isn't it wonderful that there are still kind and generous people in this world. That Biggs jasper is a real treasure. I'm from Oregon and that is getting harder and harder to find. And Parley must have spent a fortune in postage!

[@AgateAngler]

He was VERY generous, that is to be sure!

[@leannaerickson9745]

Thank you, Parley and Tessa, for sharing your beautiful stones, and Alex for taking the time to make this video. WW!

[@Notellemkrik1776]

Those would make good counter tops for your dream home

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

Thanks for sharing.. that one black slab with the white or cream swirl bit are a shell fossils so you were correct. There are people in my lapidary that cut many of these slabs and I have seen them up close.. its amazing to talk about them with the people.

[@judyherman5470]

Thank you so much for showing us all those beautiful stones. Also thanks to to people who shared them with you. At minute 15:15 the rock you picked up looked like Dendrite Agate (when they look like worms or tubes, instead of little plants like moss) then they are Dendrite. I hope Tess does start her own channel.

[@emilyawood]

I've lived everywhere in eastern washington and have been rockhounding since I was old enough to walk, but I definitely need to head down to oregon this spring to find some agates. Those are just stunning

[@timcarver5492]

Thanks for sharing, lots of fun! The thunder eggs slabs are fabulous.

[@AgateAngler]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching Tim!

[@MsSandraCGL]

Yes, I love Michigan

[@BeachBushandBeyond]

Wow!! All so beautiful in their own right. Lucky you, Alex!

[@c.s7978]

Just found your channel for the first time and WOW! Talk about gorgeous agates.. They are stunning, lucky you.. an what an amazing person Parley is to send you such a precious bundle! Heck the agates we have here in NZ are Nothing like the rest of the world. I had given up thinking agates were even pretty until I watched this!.. Has inspired me to set up my new jade saw and give cutting a go tho.. Will make a change from hand faceting gems for a while.. Thank you for sharing, Love it!!

[@SamsonsamSim]

Wow! What awesome surprises! I would be hard pressed to pick just one! They are all beautiful! That slag is used on railroad track beds and can come in black and green or shades of green. Some of which is manmade.

[@japhyryder66]

Thank you for sharing your treasures from Parley and Tessa, Alex! They’re wonderful! Tessa, I hope you do start a KZbin channel. I love watching others search for treasure.

[@susiecraddock3147]

What an awesome video for my morning coffee! Hope everyone is having a wonderful, happy, blessed wednesday!

[@susiecraddock3147]

In love with the jaspers!!!

[@mikemartin5938]

Wish I knew Parley , that’s INCREDIBLE 😊

[@BryanJordanMusic]

Turritella agate is made up of fossilized snails. It’s just found in Wyoming, I believe.

[@bretthess6376]

Several other places, such as Mexico. A friend of mine has a huge lump from South America, I don't know what country. It came from a huge coal mine about 40 years ago.

[@grandparocky]

Really liked that Picture Jasper followed closely by Stromatolite, how crazy cool is that. Great way ta start a sunday mornin' Alex, enjoyed the treasures from kind viewers. ☕👍👍 (since you have flowerstone, do you find dallasite where you are ?)

[@judyherman5470]

Most Citrine is formed by heat treating purple Amethyst. Citrine may also be produced by heat-treating Smoky Quartz from certain localities. ... Virtually all heat-treated material has a reddish tint, whereas the natural specimens do not. Natural light yellowCitrine is often called "Lemon Quartz" on the gemstone market.

6:59 Blue Mountain jasper is my favorite. Love the colors and it is shaped like a Star Trek badge, so there you go. These make the rocks I find in Virginia look - inadequate. 🤣

The one at 14:44 looks like a thunder egg agate. I can't wait to see how all these turn out after you cut & tumble them!
