Mining agates with pickaxes

[@stephenrothwell8142]

Hello Chris. I'm Stephen from south-east Northumberland. I'm subscribed to a lot of rockhounding sites. Out of all of them, you produce the most beautiful looking stones by a million miles. Your 3 sided agate and your space stone (which to me, looks like an individual on a beach looking out over a moon lit sea) are breath taking to me. Are you going to produce any more videos, I really enjoy watching them?

[@RockhoundingLife]

Glad to see you posting again! Really enjoy your videos. Top quality agates!

[@chalcedonychris7310]

Thanks! Yeah whitecliffs produces some amazing agates! Unfortunately many are broken or bland but some of them are epic

So gotta get back down the south again at the end the year, always inspiring to see you rock hounding :)

Also, im guessing you have to have a permit to get into the white cliffs forestry area you're in?

[@chalcedonychris7310]

Thanks im glad you like it! Yes we go in with the club which has a permit. Dont want to be caught in there without one!

[@graemehibbard7281]

@@chalcedonychris7310 very nice agates. Where do you apply for a permit? And what sort of permit do you apply for? How much does a permit cost?

@@graemehibbard7281 this was arranged through the mineral and lapidary club, so its best to join your local club to get access to cool spots like this 😎

Chris, love the channel. Just starting to get into rockhounding. I notice you’re often close to rangitata which is close to where I live. Would love the opportunity to come out with you sometime as I’m still confused about what I’m looking for
