Beautiful finds. Deserted beach! They are tumbled already by the ocean...fab!

[@NewZealandRocksDownunder]

[@johnearle3579]

Beautiful space agate , good find for that beach

[@themidwesternrockhound388]

If I lived there I would look out there every day!

[@chalcedonychris7310]

I went as often as I could, and now that i dont live there anymore i miss it

[@carlflemens5047]

Hitting a lot of big ones here at Patricks Point in Northern California. Nothing like the thrill of the hunt! Nice agate you found!

[@chalcedonyclapper1216]

I love the variety of agate that you have over the there.

[@chalcedonychris7310]

Yes we are fortunate to have several different volcanoes producing agates, with each spot having some unique element :-)

[@petercaine218]

Awesome find. Well done!

[@chalcedonychris7310]

thanks :-) I'll take you with next time you visit

[@Yuditbaz]

[@chalcedonychris7310]

Thanks i still smile every time i look at it

[@MsSandraCGL]

I'm so happy for you

[@maieldmik5233]

Gday chris.6.33 looks like a moa gastrolith to me.i have many of these and they are quite common but a look under a magnifying glass or microscope will confirm.well done mate! cheers

[@chalcedonychris7310]

Cheers mate! Yeah im certain they're there but i wouldnt have the confidence to declare it an ex gastrolith myself. Got some nice ones from the hills anyway ;-)

[@jaymeeallnutt557]

Just amazing that rangitea agate is

[@chalcedonychris7310]

yeah bro so stoked with it! Dont need to go to rangiatea anymore haha

[@sharonbendtsen3421]

You gotta stop dissing the rocks. They are beautiful

[@chalcedonychris7310]

Hahahaha mmmm some more than others

[@trippingonrocks1165]

It's so amazing to see the power of the ocean, how different the beach is each time. The spaceship agate was a fantastic find but I also liked the broken off chunky piece. Beautiful stuff, thanks again 👍🏼

[@chalcedonychris7310]

Glad you enjoyed it! The chunky bit isnt uncommon so I guess whats more exciting for me is something fully intact, as you never know whats in there. I love beach rockhounding, different every time

[@iamlalapalooza]

great place there... thank you for this video very enjoyable... maybe when you are panning your camera you could pan slower? : )

[@chalcedonychris7310]

Thanks it is a great area. Sure thanks for the feedback ill definitely try that next time

[@MarkOBrienmarkspage1]

Chalcedony Chris the agate Wrangler!

[@chalcedonychris7310]

Hahaha its easy when they dont run away

[@MsSandraCGL]

I like your little south park you

[@dannysuru]

Bro how did you get that mirror finish?? I found couple good agates by the rangi main bridge today

[@LanaMSB140]

Where did you get your rock tumbler from? And are they always over $200

[@chalcedonychris7310]

I got one as a gift and then I got a baby national geographic branded one used for $20. It works but its built poorly and often struggles with various issues

[@LanaMSB140]

Oh okay, I'll save up for one of the more expensive ones, thank you for replying though. I really love your videos

[@chalcedonychris7310]

@@LanaMSB140 aw thanks! I appreciate your comments and I'm happy to help where I can. Good luck!

[@dr1609]

Could you please let us know where you went for thilose pink agates

[@Doxymeister]

Oh my, that is beautiful indeed. And the scenery is even more outstanding--no beaches here unless you count the lake nearby--just no crashing surf and seagulls, LOL. How do you know which way to cut the agates so they look so pretty? Is there a science to it, or just learn by experience? At any rate, that one was worth the trip, wasn't it? Woo-hoo!

[@chalcedonychris7310]

its part guesswork and part experience. You need to figure out the orientation, and then depending on what you think might be inside from past experience, choose a plane to cut across. usually cut on the Y-axis, but sometimes its impossible to tell

[@ZyanZik]

Its a big clam fossil

[@chalcedonychris7310]

Wouldn't that be something
