Nate, I’ve been watching a lot of your past and present videos. I’m not able to go exploring. Your videos provide me the opportunity to explore and see rocks and treasures I could not see on my own 🙏🏼

[@nickitoff9629]

That rock with the green crystals could be a mixture with peridot. Also, nephrite jade usually will have a brown rind from exposure to weathering. Hydrothermal veins that contain metals will produce red rocks from oxidation. They can contain precious metals. Use a 20x loop to see. Gold can be trapped in oxidized metals. There are videos online that show how to extract it. Really enjoyed the video! You'd be fun to rockhound with!

Beautiful green..rock..one of my favorites..great video..cool gifts.

[@cynergy4]

You are so fortunate to be able to find such beautiful rocks like that jasper in the beginning by "accident", but then I don't believe in accidents! That magical mossy place could draw me in forever, and I love the Zep reference. I have a pretty little actinolite ring, beautiful stuff! What a wonderful gift of corn and other seeds. A good friend indeed! Blue is my color as well. I had a dream once where someone very emphatically told me that I should ALWAYS wear blue, so I do. Totally cool shirt too 😊

[@jj4est168]

Love the music references, only a few will recognize

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

Awesomeness my friend... I really enjoyed this revealing of beautiful finds and gifts....

[@savagesquirrel9828]

Thanks. It looked so fresh. The neon orange lichen was gorgeous! I hope you have another truck.

[@johnsaucerhunter]

Great adventure and finds Nate. Thanks for letting us have the opportunity to follow you along. Quest On!

[@tracerammo]

Man, if you're ever up north in Southern Oregon, love to show you a few spots. The only trade Id ask is that you're patient with the outrageous number of questions I'm likely to ask. Thanks for posting so much good info! 😄

[@nancywilson9380]

Wonderful sound of rushing water! 💦

[@offyarocka]

Nice to come along for a river trip!!!! Thanks for sharing

[@katetakao865]

Beautiful piece of jasper!! Nice to see you covering so much of northern Ca.

[@tracerammo]

Man, how did I just find this channel? You have the best, most informative commentary, dude! Thank you! I plan on binge watching your videos now! 😄😄😄

[@lisaroche2746]

Super fun hunt. Love them Jaspers!! Beautiful serpentine mixes and maybe some jade 🤞😁💕💗💖

[@just1certifiable]

You've found some really nice jasper there.

[@largent45]

Wow! All the colors! What a blessing after so long of a drought! All the rocks that have been stirred up in the rushing water. And all the different types and colors, and patterns of just green! And the beautiful colors of jasper! And chert as you call it. The color combinations and patterns! They are going to make some fine jewelery or something out of it. Just amazing what mother earth has to offer. All you need to do is just open your eyes. And your gifts from a friend are amazing! Thank you Nate, for sharing your awesome finds with us, and the beauty of the world around us, where ever you are.

[@dwayneblair2924]

Looks like a nice place to prospect

[@janaj9599]

And sounds like a best music.

[@Grandmasrockin]

You are just so fun!

[@janaj9599]

Good day!The stone on 9.34in wright upper corner like triangle can You saw it what is inside looks interesting different from others.Thhank You!

[@carlwiedenhoeft2427]

Nice little hike, Nate! Thanks for taking us with you. If you had some of that green serpentine/serpentinite material in you shop, I would like to buy some.

[@PietLammers]

How great.

[@dreamweaver8102]

I thought I saw an eye on that one rock you asked what it was, like a lizard head. I didn't go back and look again but....lol Weird. Serpentine, what are we living on dead carcasses? I think so, they're everywhere! Do t believe me? Ha Check out Mudfossil University ..Roger is brilliant, he will blow your mind. .love your channel Nate!

[@ccccarriemchardy9216]

I wish I could find jasper like that in my ditches!

[@donbuckholts8981]

Thanks

[@MarlainaAtkins]

3:30 porphoritic rhyolite... Just a guess tho...

[@janketza0206]

Nate you need to start bringing a rock hammer with you and checking for Jade with it. Jade has a ting noise it creates when you hit it with a hammer. Once you hear it you'll never forget that sound. Because of its density, it makes that ting. You really have a great canyon to look for it there. Good Luck! I hope you find a ton of it! Also with Jade exposed to the natural elements in that canyon the rind will be misleading and discolored from Jade Green. So the ting of a hammer will greatly help you finding it. With all that serpentine there has to be some Jade.

[@symonrocks9847]

I had a rock hammer but it broke on some iron pyrite. Then I had bits of rock and a hammer handle.

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

At Jan.... when you hit rocks you create fractures and then the ability to enjoy your specimen, cut and polish just might not be what you wanted... Jade is hard but not all that's beautiful is jade.. jade does fracture... A nice wet dry Dewalt battery operated grinder might be helpful

[@janketza0206]

@rebecca Well it's a technique I use and works for me. You're not trying to break the rock but listening to the sound of the rock to inspect it further. This technique was also used in Guatemala in the 1980's when they rediscovered Jade there.

[@symonrocks9847]

@@janketza0206 It's also used in metal casting large certain objects , in that profession it is called sounding, I'm sure that many people knew this and thought of it at the very least they would have said that it rings a bell.

[@symonrocks9847]

@@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469 Rebecca, your imput is always a refreshing cool breeze on a hot summers day, an extra blanket when it's cold, a take out meal when cooking has lost it's appeal, a loving hug when you're feeling low. I could go on but I fear that like a broken pencil it's pointless and marriage is out of the question so don't ask.

[@phillipgraves4721]

Have you ever gone to Jade Cove at Big Sur? if you haven't I think that would make a great video

[@yelenalastovkina5681]

Do you make anything of those rocks ? Always nice to see your videos.Hope you get all stability in your life you need

[@SouthernSierra56]

Yeah, I can see that: Houses Of The Holy. That was the coolest album(on 8 track) that my Dad had. He'd be 90 if he was still here.

[@WWalker-kx5xr]

I read Houses Of The Holy in your comment just as the guy in the video said it. Anyway, your dad had great taste in music. RIP

[@davidg813]

Those are pretty nice too bad that I can't find any that New York State do seem to favor the color green when it comes to rockhounding

[@JanineFlucken-BurnsDavis-co7rc]

Because I have found some cool rocks in my travels and I have no idea where to take them for money

[@janicescragg2388]

I am really lichen the Nature's art on the rocks. Lol. And the green in the serpentine comes from the color of the moss leaching into the rock, right?🤪😁 OK, on a more serious note, It would be amazing to see what the more fibrous stone would look like shaped and polished.

[@QuestForDetails]

when I slowed down at home and looked it was soft as soap stone but more powdery, I was hoping for a amphibole nephrite like creature but it doesn't quite make the grade.

[@janicescragg2388]

@@QuestForDetails darn sorry to hear that. Maybe next time.

[@williamogilvie6909]

That green stone with flat sides might be aventurine. Not many green stones are jade.

[@jeronymaqueirozferreira7934]

Maravilhosa

Federico Barlocher I am looking.

What the heck was that rock you asked for comments on? Be sure to pin the answer if you find out 👍 Love what you said about all the minerals to come out of CA 🎉 Come on details ❤‍🔥

Ooo Feel like an underwater hunt here? ❤

[@letitialouison7311]

Hey Nate what was the three round stones because I have some but don't know what they are?

[@janaj9599]

There must be gold

[@johnnynephrite6147]

did you cut the black one Nate? it looks like jade to me.

[@JanineFlucken-BurnsDavis-co7rc]

That looks like Jade to me

[@JanineFlucken-BurnsDavis-co7rc]

If we find rocks like that, where do we go to sell them?

[@janaj9599]

Jade from outside is looking like rhinoskin for me.And like sugar similar .And has it own signs on it .

[@robertporch8895]

Yes about to leave

[@janaj9599]

Sorry for mistake

[@QuestForDetails]

I'm learning also, it's all good, lots of information to absorb and it's tricky, rock on !

[@janaj9599]

Interesting learn in jade markets videous on You tube,close looking gives an expierence for me.

[@maurinedoyle9964]

Where are you in CA

[@symonrocks9847]

High water rock hounding, nate that sounds risky. What if the water is not mellowed, what if it gets paranoid, you don't know what the water took and that could be a problem. lol.

Jade has a core not green
