Dalton Flood Reveals Gemstone: Rockhounding New Hampshire

[@frederickbierweiler8020]

It amazes me how your lack luster findings turn out so beautiful, My 2 spheres have been admired and played with by all who have seen them. Well done and thanks so much again

[@GraniteGuy]

Yes, the sphere forces a new perspective on the plain ol' rocks we walk over every day. Nature is endlessly fascinating when viewed carefully. Glad you are enjoying the spheres--you know I love my subscribers!

Well at least all that flooding stirred up some awesome rocks for you to pick through. Bye the way i have a couple more rocks if you're interested. One is another piece of chert that looks like it will have cool pattern inside and the other one is I think yellow jasper.

The flint was cut and to be delivered at last night's PGMS meeting, but it was forgotten at home. I will send out your sphere (our finest granite) this week. Why not try your hand at those rocks yourself? I was hoping to inspire.

@@GraniteGuy I would but my saw is too small unfortunately.

The nimble thrive.

[@GraniteGuy]

I've been called a lot of things, but never nimble! Thanks.

[@CreationDust777]

That was kinda cool. Im also from nh. I occasionally carve pendants out of local found rocks.

[@GraniteGuy]

Thanks. I like your animal carvings, very impressive! Your neck of the woods does have some interesting rock specimens. Loved the pendant you carved for your mom (#19), nice winter waterfalls too.

[@CreationDust777]

@@GraniteGuy 😊 thanks

[@digitalwarrior6731]

You are picking up totally wrong rocks. Omg. Slappp..😂😂❤🎉

[@GraniteGuy]

Remember I am limited to rocks about fist-sized, bigger won't fit in my saw, smaller won't make a 40mm sphere. Of the 3 rocks I kept, the first was just black inside, the second was half mud. Both were rejected. The last one was common porphyry found in great abundance here. Common and opaque are not usually the stuff of gems, but look how beautiful it is! ✨
