BEAUTIFUL TUMBLED AGATES, JASPER, AND PETRIFIED WOOD | Montana Rockhounding

[@AgateAngler]

I hope everyone enjoyed a look at some of my favorite rocks. A big welcome to all of the new subscribers to the channel! Have a great weekend everyone!

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

Thanks for sharing, we need some distractions at this time in our lives. The covid has us beyond isolated. Thanks for being a bright spot in our lives.

[@HomeImProveMentHow]

@@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469 Rebecca, hi yes this rock collecting is really cool maybe he could make some jewelry with it. Although you probably need a Dremel with diamond cutting blades I would think? Keep looking up don't let this temporary situation, get you down! bye for now, stay busy God bless you! & Keep Looking Up Ken.

[@HomeImProveMentHow]

How's it going bro, This is another Channel I don't think you're familiar with it. I'd ask you one time about making pendants with some of those slabs you've made, Although I think you can buy the hardware to do that online for jewelry making just to give you a heads up. Question how do you know the difference between petrified wood in a brown rock what are the signs I what do you look for,? And how do you know the difference between an agate and Jasper? My channel is a home improvement how to channel. But I have an interest in rocks and I picked up a few the other day from a riverbed out here by my house then I'm going to show here on my channel and maybe even cut some open but I don't even know what I'm looking at so I guess I'm going to call it something like Discovery or discovering your rocks are what's under your feet you know something like that LOL I look forward to hear from you God bless you bye for now Ken PS I look forward to hear from you bro bye for now

[@dontoondontol1933]

How we can buy some of the rock

[@AgateAngler]

My pleasure! Glad to be of service!

[@breemolina8512]

I love rocks and just pick them up now watching this thinking I got a lot more then just rocks

[@AgateAngler]

Rocks sure can be a whole lot more like you said. I can remember exactly where and when I found some of my best finds. Thanks for watching Bree!

[@erinwood4267]

Kip is my favorite KZbinr ever

[@AgateAngler]

I'll be sure to tell him!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

I love that you had a story for each rock. They're like friends you meet over the years, each with a special set of circumstances. There really is something about a smooth shiny rock. We seem to use all of our senses as we enjoy them, even remembering the smell of the river or the vegetation where they were found. So I don't think it's weird to enjoy the feel of them! Thank you for this wonderful video and for sharing your special rock buddies with us. Take care. 😊

[@AgateAngler]

So true Gwynn! Thanks for your thoughtfulness as usual. Hope you are well!

[@sherylcrowe3255]

Me too!

[@ryanshorts339]

Love those pieces of petrified wood where the grain is really visible, killer pieces, love seeing them polished or tumbled

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks Ryan!

[@ninjawarriorassassin9871]

Yes everything is a work of art in nature 😊🙂

[@AgateAngler]

I agree!

[@greywilson7156]

Love your rocks. Maybe next time you display you could use a light table to help show through.

[@maxmillion4442]

This dude is like the Bob Ross of rocks “ not a perfect tumble but I still love it” warms my heart

[@wyodino6245]

Rocks are like us,.... beautiful with all of our cracks and imperfections..... Each one having different character with so much to share. The rocks we collect, many times, bring back the great memories of a wonderful day on the river or in the mountains or on the prairies, when they were collected. Like an old friend to remind us of the good times. They represent some of the precious memories of our lives ....and of ages gone by. Cheers to the new and coming days on the river and adventures to come! Thanks for sharing your rocks with us..

[@AgateAngler]

I could not agree more with this! You put it wonderfully!

[@laurieowen8696]

Shine on you crazy diamond! Love is in the earth🥰

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks Laurie!

[@Timothious_Maximus]

that flame box elder wood bowl is truly display worthy in and of itself.

[@judymarkel8029]

Nope that's not weird I love rocks too

[@tammybonogofsky]

hello My name is Tammy, I am also from Billings born and raised. My paternal grandmother was part of the rock and gem club in Mt for many many years, I have photo albums dating clear back to 1945, she was also the secretary for many years. So I have been hounding since I was old enough to carry a heavy bucket of rocks down the yellowstone River Valley. Its in the genes because one of my daughter has picked up rockhounding and we are teaching the grandkids all about it, great family activity we all have our favorites.

[@AgateAngler]

Hi Tammy! Good to see another person from Billings on here! What a neat history of rock hounding in your family. So neat to see it being passed down from generation to generation. Thanks so much for sharing some of your story.

[@titan1701]

The black one is possibly Jet, Im from Nanaimo just up from Victoria BC and there are large high quality coal seams all over the east of the island

[@agateindia7056]

The black one is black onyx...I love the doggi

[@bebecatanzaro9362]

I love, love, love your videos! Can’t wait to see more!!

[@SuperKabookie]

It’s not weird at all!

[@AgateAngler]

Haha! Glad to have your support!

[@KatyDidRocks]

It's so much fun to go through all those beautiful stones! I love the sound the rocks make when your fingers go through them....

[@AgateAngler]

I totally agree!

[@marsharamsay2793]

,love your rocks. Envy of all that petrified wood. Hope to see more tumbles.

[@AgateAngler]

There is a wonderful batch of rocks just getting started which I'll share when they finish. Thanks for watching Marsha!

[@littleSallyJo]

Dear Alex, I must tell ya that your videos are indeed SPECIAL. You are so clearly happy to be doing what you do, & amiable & generous in sharing your knowledge, how you experience all the various facets of the rocks themselves. Your enjoyment & enthusiasm in the fun of the looking & the finding are delightful--it's so clear how much you JUST LOVE the rocks! Thank you for sharing all of that with us, out here!

[@AgateAngler]

Hi Sally! Sorry for getting back to you so late. Thank you for such a genuine and thoughtful compliment. I love sharing them with people who also appreciate them. Have a great weekend.

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

The sound that tumbled rocks make is awesome. Great looking rocks.

[@marie-lauregirard7111]

Merveillous stones

[@AgateAngler]

Aren't they wonderful? Thanks for watching!

[@charlesmary31]

Those stones are beautiful , love 💘 them.

[@donnastockwell296]

I like the way you tumbled the rocks. I like the rocks to still have character, just shiny and smooth, like they are wet. Thank you for this video, I enjoy all that you do.

[@AgateAngler]

I am so glad you enjoy the videos. That's what makes it all worth it to me. Have a great weekend.

[@daveb2503]

Nice video mate. Enjoyed watching. Dave the Dutchman

[@AgateAngler]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tlight1109]

You have totally inspired me to start hunting and tumbling!

[@AgateAngler]

Oh I am so glad to hear that! Where do you live? What will you be hunting for? Good luck out there!

[@IppiopaidFEEDBACK]

So now I’m gonna be looking at rocks when I go to the beach. Usually I just pick theses things up and throw them in water, now I’m going to start to see potential in them. 2020 is such a crazy year!

[@annemariemayr3576]

The black gem you found in Honeymoon, seems to be a Onyx, good for jewelry....Ring...Earring...bracelet...good luck and fun...😀👍

[@kimpetri6750]

Or it could be obsidian...

[@clevinger71]

Evvery time you said they weren't perfect I was thinking...yes they are! Lol. Great finds. All beautiful! 😁

[@AgateAngler]

I totally know what you mean. I only say that since there are some hardcore rock tumblers out there that literally aim for perfection. Either way they are perfect to me. Thanks for watching!

[@clevinger71]

@@AgateAngler ...I totally understand that! I just love them all....lol! 🤣

[@johnnyrugola3625]

My wife and I go on adventures all over the country and we do some homework of where some potential for good finds are. We always make it a point to at least find a pocket full of specimens. We have tons of rocks! We tumbled some. We have tons of memories attached to these rocks. An emerald we found rockhounding on a trip we got engaged on is now in her wedding ring... which is her birthstone. Rockhounding is such a great hobby!

[@johnnyrugola3625]

Very nice tumbles and finds though!

[@kathycollins9510]

I love that you let your baby daughter play with the stones you love! Children are so into visual and tactile stimulation you can't help but enjoy the experience through them! I see another rock hound in the future.

[@AgateAngler]

Oh she absolutely loves them. It is sometimes difficult to keep them out of her mouth, but she only plays with rocks that are too big to choke on.

[@Barb6658]

My granddaughter plays with mine, too! Loves my rocks.

[@AgateAngler]

Thank you! Hope you are doing well.

[@porkchop0711]

I loved seeing those please show more

[@AgateAngler]

I've got another video showing off some amazing fan-mail rocks coming very soon!

[@theresabraddock9310]

Its good to know that there are people out there that also have bowls of found river rocks. I do the same, look em over, describe them, admire them, consider the age, the beauty and feel etc. My sons think its a weird hobby or interest but its peaceful and spiritual from start to finish. thanks for your video!

[@snort5203]

Loved the video. Really like that you share what kind of specimens you have because id -ing rocks is not an easy task!

[@AgateAngler]

So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

[@charlottenasise5105]

Thank you for showing us this. Enjoyed your videos.

[@AgateAngler]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Dude, rad polish man, and how cool is that each rock has a story behind it. Like your first one, the one from your honeymoon, the one from your first video, it’s just crazy how much more they can mean to us than just a rock. It’s a hard thing to explain but rockhounds and kids know the feeling haha.

[@AgateAngler]

Absolutely. It is hard to put into words, but I know that there are so many of us that share in the mystery and memories that rocks give. Crazy to think that some day my grandchildren might be holding and playing with those rocks.

[@jens2739]

Awesome turned out really beautiful

[@AgateAngler]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@akodito6809]

Petrified wood with agate in it 😳! WOW!!!! Now That's a Specimen😀.

[@AgateAngler]

Agreed! One of my favorite finds for sure!

[@tonijordan6543]

You are freaken adorable! And your videos are fun to watch. Vicariously rockhounding through you. I feel like I'm there with you.

[@truckerenoch8824]

The one @ 15:15 is called _unakite._ I'd wager money that's what it is. It's also a stunning example as well! Most are more pinkish and green than dark red like that. It's generally found in areas rich with copper and iron deposits. Yours was probably imported from Canada via a 1.3 mile tall glacier about 9,000+ years ago and the river cutting through the glacial till washed it into the Yellowstone then into your collection. Enjoy it! It''s an extraordinary example of a _somewhat_ common collectible rock.

[@AgateAngler]

Thanks for the information! I really appreciate it. I find the geological history to be very interesting and wish I knew more of it.

[@woutersere7796]

I love watching these rough stones getting all polished up. Would be great if you could make another when you’re ready. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@barbwellman6686]

That was great, you have a beautiful collection. Loved rock hunting as a child and am still mesmerized by what an old rock looks like polished!

[@katherinedoughty839]

😊😁😀 If your weird so am I. I love to do the same thing...I find it relaxing for some reason.😊 The one with the Agatised P wood with the banding is amazing.👍

[@AgateAngler]

Nothing wrong with being weird, but it's always a bit of a reach to share it with a bunch of strangers on KZbin. But I'm glad that my longtime viewers like you are just as weird as I am.

[@lauramarti7548]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful polished rocks!

[@AgateAngler]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@rhondajules7647]

I find a lot of agate but still learning to identify more so you and Kip inspire me and Bear

[@AgateAngler]

So glad that we inspire! Thanks for watching.

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

The one @ 15:19 is unakite. It's composed of orthoclase feldspar and epidote. They're usually more green than pink, but depending on how the original chunk broke. They can be more pink or pinkish red than green. If cut and polished right, they work really good for jewelry.

[@timcarver5492]

Hi from Victoria BC. I tumble a lot of beach rocks from our area. Keep up the good work.

[@AgateAngler]

Very cool! Your beaches are awesome and beautiful!

[@sharontiglao5826]

Love your rocks! I love them all! Thanks for sharing. 👍🙂

[@trippingonrocks1165]

They came up beautiful. Isn't it funny, I can't remember most my friends birthday's (terrible I know) but I remember where all my rocks have come from hehe, Us rock hounds totally get it.

[@AgateAngler]

There really is a "rockhound mentality" that is just engrained in people like us. It's fun how we can all relate!

[@Aymiikeeganmelb]

Thanks for uploading rock love from Victoria Australia

[@TheoKellison]

Gotta love that Pryor material! They always come out looking incredible! I personally adore our Yellowstone petrified and agatized wood; no two pieces will ever look the same once they're polished! Just a massive amount of variation. Those are some gorgeous jaspers! Loved the video!

I love that you use ceramic pellets, same here. Less chance of plastic in the environment. They ARE perfect, any so called flaws add character, and make them individual and unique! I have been watching your videos from that very first one, hehe! It's been a very nice journey, and can't wait for more. That one stone does look very similar to picture jasper. Not weird at all, I'll bet that most of us love the feel of running our fingers over certain stones. Awwww, you and your wife have created a future rockhounder! The Lortone double barreled tumbler is well worth the investment. Great job on the tumbing, they turned out beautiful, and love the wooden bowl too. Scratch Kip's ears for me!
