I Found So Many Different Types of Agates! Part 2

My rockhounding day continues with this video (Part 2) of rock hunting for colorful river rocks. The coolest thing about this hunt was that I found so many different types of agates! At the end I am able to wash off some of my rocks and show them off!
Here is a link to Part 1 if you missed it:

I agree, Montana Agate Mom has the most beautiful rocks in Montana. Unbelievably colorful.

[@MontanaRockMom]

I have never ever seen such beautiful rocks! Your videos are THE BEST!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you so much for watching them 😀

[@vinnymartinez6031]

It’s so nice to watch videos of a fellow Rockhound who knows the correct definitions of the minerals. Cool stuff MRM. Keep making videos and I’ll keep watching. Colorado Rockhound.

That blue petrified wood is so cool

[@savagesquirrel9828]

These are beautiful rocks....and beautiful seems inadequate.

You are a very lucky lady to have an area to hunt like you do. What amazing finds. GD

Magical

[@patriciamckean4186]

So many beauties 😍

[@michelleshorey8103]

You go girl! But, I have a bucket of pretty rocks, too. I want to know where you found them and also watch you find them. Clean them off and show the details as you go.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Good point. Thanks!

Stunning agates and jaspers

[@michelleangers342]

Just WOW!!!

[@edieswearingen9652]

You have such a good eye,and are blessed to live in Montana. I love your videos. I would be pumped to find just one of those rocks in a day. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing.

[@CityRockhounding]

Wow, not even in my dreams do I find rocks like your finds! Super jealous, especially since it's snowing in MI and its been 6 weeks since I've been out rock hounding. Thanks for inspiring and bringing us along with you on your adventure!

[@verapiresdecastro1454]

AIMEUDEUS!!! NUNCA VI NADA TÃO LINDO!!!

[@MileyO]

Awesome rocks... I love everything with blue.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thanks Maili! I love blue too...

[@chrishunt8130]

So many interesting and colorful rocks you have found out there in Montana. I really enjoy watching your channel, keep on rockhounding😃

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thanks Chris!

[@kalyankharde7774]

Beautiful rocks.

[@mrfxm55]

It's melted silica from gaseous explosions in a volcano. Colors in it are other minerals melted into the mix. Sometime you find it in shapes indicative to a projectile with a tail then it cooled giving you those specific shapes frozen in time. Most look as though they a folded impossible knots. But most are from volcanoes or in the course of violent eruption events.

[@jasonemdorris5217]

The rocks that you find are truly spectacular. My wife and I love your videos. We just subscribed. Thank you for showing us the beauty. I would be so delighted to even find just one of those jaspers or agates.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you Jason! And Thank you both for watching my videos and subscribing 🥰

[@MACorrupt]

I just recently found you and I love your videos it’s amazing to me what you find in comparison to other rock Hounders on the Yellowstone. I think you should do an Etsy store named “rocks in the rough”. I would definitely purchase Jasper from you and other minerals. Just beautiful.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Do you like Jasper? I would love to mail you a piece of one of my finds. I'm too busy for Etsy, lol... I work at a hospital- so on the front lines with Covid right now. Rockhounding is where I find my peace on my days off ❤

[@MACorrupt]

@@MontanaRockMom wow that would make my day no I take it back it would make my month or more. I’m dealing with family court for nine years and the only way I find pieces rock hounding or watching these videos. I would love one of your beautiful pieces with yellow, green, red even blue if possible I love smooth pieces. Please take care of yourself be safe and take care of your family first and foremost. If you do ever get time to send out a piece I would love to pay for the postage I’m in Massachusetts. My email is [e-mail]. My email represents my kids and I. My ex has been trying to alienate my kids but we are strongly bonded so so far so good just dealing with injustice of a biased and abusive judge. Unfortunately my kids are miserable. 10 and 12 a boy and a girl Julian and Jocelyn they are amazing. I have a KZbin channel and made some videos before the abuse of judgment where I lost custody and was alienated from every aspect of my kids lives by a biased judge thank God I still see them but not near as much. Things have to get better in the world and I believe that they will. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Be safe.

[@veronicamoore3777]

@@MontanaRockMom I LOVE JASPER! I have two big hunks, (I mean big) and all I can do is display them whole. Found them up North by Taos Nm. But they are mostly red with a little yellow and green. I mean very little. If they look that way on the outside, do they look the same inside? I wish I could show them to you. I don’t see too much of the yellows around my neck of the woods, but maybe up north there would be some.

[@MontanaRockMom]

@@veronicamoore3777 Veronica, it's so crazy about how rocks can look on the inside! It could be totally all red...or full of more yellow, green! Sometimes if I love a jasper on the outside, I won't cut it because I don't want to be disappointed if it's not as awesome on the inside.

[@denisehudon6134]

Awsome beauty!

[@moonstruck581]

Such incredible rocks thanks for sharing have you ever thought about adding #TheFinders. Your beautiful finds deserve to be shared across the world.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you so much Heather! Very kind words. You made my day!

[@moonstruck581]

Montana Rock Mom you are so welcome.

[@leannaerickson9745]

Amazing! Gorgeous! have you cut or tumbled any of the rocks in this video? I'd love to see what's inside.

[@klairesprengel9335]

Waw so many amazing rocks xx cool vid xx

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you Klaire!

[@gavincollins4094]

You have a great eye for finding amazing & colorful Jasper/agates. Keep up the great content it helps us rookies learn what to look for. What part of Montana do you do most of your looking.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you! Central to Eastern Montana.

[@lesliesisson2908]

Great rocks. Was loucky to hunt the wellow stone last summer. Your Montana agates are great. Hope to get up there next summer. Montana hade some great pet wood.

[@eliezersilvadesouza150]

Show 👏👏👏👍

[@mitchgillilan]

Did you find all those in one day??? If you did, that is amazing! this is great, I subscribed! Your channel is really good quality and I love how you do the close ups. Its all about the little details in these amazing rocks :)

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thanks Mitch! Yes! I found all of them in one day. I was out hiking for probably close to 8 hours. Once I get going- it's so hard to stop myself...I keep falling in love with each rock and then saying...just one more...just one more....

[@juliomorales4154]

Wow

[@reneewilbur4340]

This was awesome! Did you cut these already? Because I want to see that

[@bloomingtonian7529]

Will you do a cutting video? I'd really be curious what's inside some of those.

[@MontanaRockMom]

Absolutely! I can't wait to see what is inside many of them too! It's like opening a present every time : )

[@MsSandraCGL]

the one at 9:38 looks like a python head, super cool, do you sell polished rocks?

[@BackcountrywithShaughn]

Wow MRM, looks like it was an absolutely awesome bucket list day of rock hunting for sure!✔ Thank you very much for bringing us all along for the adventure. 👍 Couple questions if I may be so bold: One, the focus on your camera is excellent, are you using an iPhone for video or something like a dslr camera? Two, how many buckets did you fill?🤦‍♂️😂 I know personally that on days where I've stumbled into rockhounding nirvana❤, the time goes by so unbelievably fast and there never seems to be enough daylight or shocks in my Jeep to satisfy my insatiable appetite for beautiful chunks of earth sitting below our feet! Anyway, what a great day and those fortunate ones you took home now get to be loved and admired by many more folks than had ever known before so kudos for your efforts! Hope you have a super rest of your day and nice weekend ahead~

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thanks for all the great questions! Lately I have been using my Samsung Galaxy phone for video. I just upgraded from my Galaxy Note 9 (which I couldn't believe was so outdated!), to the Galaxy 20 Ultra- and the camera/video quality is unbelievable for a phone. I filled up 2 home depot sized buckets of rockhounding finds on my last trip and yes, that's only because I ran out of daylight 😜. I seem to give away so many of my finds though that I am always building back up my stash 🥰 I am certainly sad that the days are getting shorter. It blows my mind how what seems like 2 hours roaming around was actually 7 and I have to head back. Thanks again for all your kind words.

[@denniscoats4072]

You have a good eye

All this Rocks kreeted by mother Natur, wonderfujj

[@AndyPappalardo]

I scrolled through Paul fry's book. Sounds like you need to know what your doing and where to go and not go if you are rock hounding from a boat. I was thinking of bringing my buddy and do a little fishing while we are rock hounding but after reading that book not sure if navigating the Yellowstone is a goo idea, if you don't know it. The other issue is he is not a rock hounder and I am not sure I will get to spend enough time hounding if I bring him. I don't think people that don't hound understand the people that do, and I suppose that's ok. I have loved hounding since I was a child and when I tell people about how excited I get they just look at me as if to say I don't get it. But other rock hounders get it.

[@billywhitehorn6397]

you cutting these and tumbling them?

[@MontanaRockMom]

Billy, I am wanting to buy a slab saw before cutting some of my favorites. I have been using a wet tile saw with a diamond blade...but it just doesn't do that great a job. I love, love tumbling. It would be pretty fun though to get some nice slabs and polish them! What do you think?

[@billywhitehorn6397]

@@MontanaRockMom I think it would be interesting to cut a few and polish them ...and cut a few and see what they would look like tumbled... to show the difference

[@MontanaRockMom]

@@billywhitehorn6397 will do! Thanks Billy
