All of my FAVORITE Rocks! My Collection of Rocks, Minerals, Fossils, and Sea Shells!

In this one, we dig out all of the pieces in my private collection for some show and tell! These are all of the rocks that I have purchased, were given to me, and all of my personal finds that I don't plan on ever selling! We will go through and get good looks at a wide range of gems, minerals, fossils, and shells, including: labradorite, crystal specimens, huge tiger eye, malachite specimens, unusual fossils, and fantastic agates! I unfortunately had to cut a LOT of specimens from the video so that it was not 52 minutes long, but I promise to show more in the future. I hope you enjoy looking at some cool pieces, and I will have another one out very soon!

You have a spectacular collection and my favorite was.... drum roll please.... ALL OF THEM! Thanks for sharing. Be safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

[@KatyDidRocks]

What a treat!

[@hooahextreme]

Ammolite is cool. It so often looks like a surrealistic painting of a forest landscape.

[@TheoKellison]

It is probably my favorite gem😄 a perfect mix of two of my favorite things: stones with vibrant opalescence and fossils!

[@stellabelikiewicz1523]

Your collection is so beautiful and personal! I can hear in your voice how much love you have for the processes that shaped each of these rocks, or the biological specificity of the animals who used to reside in the shells. And the shells WITH the crystals are just a whole nother level of mind blowing!

[@TheoKellison]

Thank you so much!😄 that means a lot! I really dont hold onto many rocks for my personal collection so each one is very special to me. It was hard having to cut the video down because it was originally about 52 minutes long but i didnt rhink the majority of my viewers would care to sit and watch that long😅

[@stellabelikiewicz1523]

@@TheoKellison we’re here for Part Two (“Favorite Rocks II: Fossilized Boogaloo”!)

[@josefizquierdo6139]

I used to collect seashells when I was a child. My mom and dad would take us, nine siblings, to South Padre Island near Brownsville, Texas every Summer. I remember one time when I was sitting on the beach, admiring my newly acquired collection. My Grandfather approached me, and asked me to show him my beautiful array of seashells. That's a very good memory of my dear family that I never forget. 🏖️

[@karenhenriksen217]

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing. The azurite and malachite ar my absolut favorit.

[@TheoKellison]

That azurite-malchite with the amazing crystal growth is definitely one of my favorite rocks that i own! I bought it for cabs, but when it arrived and i saw how insane it was, there was just no way i could even consider cutting into it😄

[@AsTheBroken101]

Beautiful collection Theo. Very impressive!

[@SugarplumFairy01]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING! Ilove the Agateised petrified wood AMAZINGNESS !!! Oh & the Huge Raw Labradorite WOWZERS!!!!

[@mariemoss2475]

You never bore us and its always good to see your favourite rocks... A fantastic selection 💕👍

[@TheEagleviewer]

Not boring! Beautiful collection!

[@deniseview4253]

Thank you so much for sharing. So many beautiful rocks can’t pick a favorite.

[@TheoKellison]

This was a hard video for sure! It was originally like 47 minutes long but i dont think youtube would appreciate that run time so i had to cut a bunch out. It was definitely a challenge to narrow it down!😅

Perfect Theo dear friend. Super incrível my friend

[@laurat5143]

All is just amazing. That yellow jasper is by far my favorite.

[@Mike-br8vb]

What a fantastic, fascinating exhibition of awesomeness!

[@lavadaparker1364]

Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@johngiorgi4000]

Very nice of you to show what was gifted to you, have bought and collected. Take care.

[@salishseaquest7952]

Such an enjoyable video -- not boring in the least. Loved that Labradorite!

[@notinmanitou]

Hi Theo! My husband and I are people who love rocks, all kinds of rocks. We are now retired and have the time to learn more. We just discovered your channel (and others) and hope to do some rock hunting ourselves, but it will have to be my husband and son, as I am wheelchair bound. Because we are just learning, it would help a lot if you explained a little more, spoke a little more clearly and spoke a little more slowly. Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection with us!

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

Wonderful finds! The memories are almost as lovely as the stones and shells.😊🐝❤

[@mariehillard1742]

Not boring never boring! I love rocks so much. Thank you for showing us. I greatly appreciate it and I'm very aware that you will have to pack them all away. Big job. Simply I say to you, thank you. From the land down under.

[@donnabeaudin9114]

What a gorgeous collection! I enjoyed all the special features you pointed out on the different rocks and fossils..that jasperized, petrified wood was beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing 👍😀!!

[@kd7ign]

This helps me learn different rocks. Ty.

[@brendastajkowski502]

The rocks just get better and better. Such an amazing collection!!!

[@moviegirl45]

gorgeous collection. deserves to be in a glass cabinet on display.

[@jennystone421]

Druzy city! Those druzy gastropod shells are something else. And the red dolomite quartz with phantoms, whuuut?! Amazing stones and treasures Theo👍

[@TheoKellison]

That red phantom quartz is totally one of my favorite specimens!😄 and those shells are something special! Still have mever seen any other fossils with crystals like that; i have a lot with calcite crystals but i dont think i have ever seen others with quartz crystals before😄

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Spectacular collection! So many beauties I'm not sure which one is my favorite. But if I had to pick one it would be the labradorite... Its my most favorite stone. I actually have a video ready to post of my personal display where I show off my favorite labs. I was planning on posting it today but maybe I should wait a day or two 😄 Thanks for sharing all your treasures. Looking forward to what's to come!

[@agatehunter]

Nothing that nice can ever be considered boring, thanks a loy

[@RockHoundQuest]

Nice collection, got to love the private reserve.

[@darrinwilliams5715]

You have some great material. Some very rare and obscure. I enjoyed the video.😎

[@beckysmith3660]

I love your love for your rocks fossils and sea creatures it makes us all a little rocky upstairs

[@thelostone6981]

In 2010, I was watching someone sing about Chocolate Rain on KZbin…and here I am in 2022 watching someone show off their rock collection??? What happened??? 😂😂 Joking aside, those are amazing! It is cool we do have a medium like KZbin to see and learn of these things. Cheers!

[@mariehillard1742]

I enjoyed seeing your rocks & shells Theo. Not boring at all. Thank you for sharing with us. I wish you all the very best.

Absolutely love Ammolite this video did not disappoint!

[@TheoKellison]

Thank you so much! Ammolite is some of my absolute favorite stuff on the planet

[@irishkazolotse]

I enjoyed your collection so much, i would never notice some of your rocks if i see them in person laying around, but they actually have names and are beautiful, TY 4 educating me!!!

[@donnalantz7981]

You have the most amazing collection. I love everything you find. Your videos are awesome. Just love your work. And I can't thank you enough for the amazing pet wood and agate you sent in my order of crystals I got from your etsy store. I was mind blown to get those as well. I plan to polish both very soon. Thank you so much. You are such a gifted young man.

[@cherylwiddiss9032]

I am speechless! I so enjoy viewing your beautiful & unique treasures, thank you for sharing them with us!

You have a lot of collection my son is on awe everytimes he see your each and every rock you have .

[@shapumawildcat]

Man i so love your videos, they cheer me up no end.. Thank you,, Since i started collecting my own rocks i have a few special ones, But being in South West of England UK mainly i find huge crystal chunks with pockets etc, I do not have a cutter or any thing but it is on my *most wanted list* lol,, Thank you again x

[@josefizquierdo6139]

I like collecting Native American artifacts, especially carved-out rocks, which is closely related to "Rock Collecting." I find mine mostly in my backyard and in my vicinity.

[@kellywion1464]

Not boring at all! Love looking at your collection! So many nice ones!

[@janetvansky3621]

It's amazing to watch you whip through those stones and not mention the Beings in them. For example, in the third labradorite/specularite piece you showed there is a definite face.

[@donnareedrakowiecki]

I would just look at them all day

[@silverymoon5516]

Loved seeing all your beautiful rocks...

The Gastropod shells with Quartz crystals (2:10) are definitely my favorite. I have never seen anything like it before!

Too many good ones to pick from. Keep the goodness coming!😷⚒

[@glennaw1547]

Your rocks are great, not only for what they are but also for their memories in your life. Thx for sharing with us. Do you sell small pieces of your mineral finds?

[@TheoKellison]

I do! I just need to go through and get more stuff listed; my stock got pretty run through during my last big sale but i have more specimens to list, i just need to get around to doing it😅

[@glennaw1547]

How do I get in contact with you or your shop?

[@TheoKellison]

@@glennaw1547 the best way is to contact me via email which can be found in the "about" section on my channel page

hey awesome name Glenna!

I really enjoy all of your videos. I love ammolite too, so that last was my favorite. Thanks so much from Canada

Thanks for sharing your collection great shells, fossils, and stones

[@brendastajkowski502]

You have such a collection of beautiful things. Awesome.

[@forreal_suckers]

So beautiful! Im 12 yrs old and have found 3 fossilized moon snails, 2 fossilized crabs(one has small crystals that have grown in the leg), I have a couple moss stones(fav agate), Some geodes, and recently I have found a atleast 10 pound rock that on 1 side has places where agate has formed and some parts look atleast an inch deep. I found these all at my family's property! I hate buying rocks or getting rocks from people bc i wanna find them myself and have the opportunity to be proud of my finds! Though i do have a GIANT shell(i would say about 7 inches width and from the tail to the front is about 7.) I got it at a garage sail about 3 years ago. Oh! I have also found many elk teeth and some coyote skulls. Ok last thing, I have these little worm fossils and are my favorite fossil!

Love all those rocks. I love druzy. As you can tell by my name on here lol. Keep up the amazing videos.

[@laurat5143]

I would love to see more places in the North West. I'm looking into good places to go find great agates, pettafiedwood, and all that other great stuff everyone thinks they need it. I love all my finds. Your amazing thank you 😊. Now that reduces-orange crystal? That's a favorite one. Then your agate that you shared. All those she'll. " WOW "!

[@lainiefrye5615]

Hello Theo, I’m Lainie. I’ve recently discovered my passion for rocks, stones and pebbles. It’s kinda neat that you’re by Yellow Stone, which I would loooovve to visit one day, bc I’m approx about 2 miles from the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I’ve started a business of coasters with river stones and resin. These stones, when you wet them, look like metallic stones. I’ve never seen stones like that anywhere else. I’d love to send you a coaster bc you are part of the reason, and the crystal collector, that I love stones and geology today. I’ll send you some pictures of what I’m doing if I can find a way. Keep doing what you’re doing. I have learned so much and thank you for that. Lainie Frye

[@josefizquierdo6139]

A couple of your stones resemble American-Indian artifacts, especially your childhood piece, the small triangular stone with the sharp edge. The wind didn't carve out that one.

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Those shells with the quartz crystals are gorgeous! Love the fossils, it's so fun to see your faves in your collection. Cool story about your first shell, it's so easy to get hooked (instead of the fish, lol). Definitely not boring, thanks for sharing the hoard!

[@libertyann439]

I'd love to have the display space needed to show a great collection like yours. Thank you for telling us all their names!

[@stoneagelapidary4905]

This is so cool

[@andreakessler227]

Thanks for sharing the favorites in your collection, it was wonderful to see. My favorite was the azurite and malachite specimen mostly because those are my favorite rock colors. If that rock wasn't in your collection i wouldn't be able to choose which one was my favorite. I was so busy oohing and ahhing as you showed them! Amazing. I almost forgot the druzy gastropod shells. They were my second favorites, so lovely!

[@jocelynkimura1664]

Wow amazing!!!i love your crystals

[@charleskijek5438]

Great video, growing up in Michigan and visiting Florida I related to the beach combing shell stories.

[@jimberry2967]

Beautiful Collection!!

[@sylviemiles5439]

Lovely collection , its amazing when you walk over a mountain of grass and soil and dull looking rock and not realise the beauty’s of what could possibly inside and deep down . Also I always say that god was the first to invent glitters and sparkles . He must of had so much fun knowing we would eventually find what he invented

Awesome collection Theo!!!! Thanks for showing some of the ones you have been hiding from us. That is an impressive and diverse collection. I was wondering if you have ever found any arrowheads or artifacts while out rockhounding? Your first agate was cool to see, I found my first agate when I was a little kid too!

Theo, I think I lost count of the number of times I heard special, super special and rocked my world in this video, but I see why! I love that huge tiger-eye; is it purchased or did you find it? What about the Crown Sea-star?

[@TheoKellison]

It was purchased, i wish i could find some of my own! One day perhaps👍 and the crown of thorns was a gift; i believe they are native to the pacific but somehow found their way into the great barrier reef where they are very invasive and damaging
