You definitely found some beauties on this trip! The bands on the last one you found are incredible. The red blobby rock you found is called a brecciated rock. A brecciated rock is a rock that broke apart and was essentially "glued" back together by another mineral seeping or running in and around all of the pieces and then hardening and holding them back together with thin or sometimes wide lines between the pieces of the original rock. A conglomerate (looks a lot like a chunk of sidewalk or pavement) is made the same way, but the little pieces aren't from the same rock that had broken apart, it's a bunch of different kinds and colors of rocks being held together. I've heard many people refer to conglomerates as Mother Nature's concrete. So it's probably either a brecciated jasper or a brecciated rhyolite. I couldn't quite tell what it was. Great finds and an awesome trip out. Thanks for sharing!✌️🤠🤘

Kyle, thank you so much for that wonderful information! I will have to do some further digging on both of these types of rocks, but you explained them very well and I will now know for future vids and hunts. :)

I’m headed to Tettegouche State Park this summer which is just up the road from Beaver Bay, I believe. I think I will try and explore this beach while we are there. Thanks for the info and video!

[@rodenbergrocks]

I wish you the best of luck, Josh! Lots of good beaches in that area to explore, including the Beaver Bay one!

I love that beach! I’ve picked it several times and I always find some.Did you stop in at the agate museum while you were there?

[@rodenbergrocks]

Such a wonderful spot! Sadly enough, I have never stopped in to that museum before but it is on the list for one day!
