I've been collecting rocks all my adult life, but not an expert, just a lover of rocks. I live in Central Oregon and never knew all the cool places i could collect. I decided this summer to go on fun hikes as much as possible, so I'll combine that with rockhounding. 😊 I just found out about Glass Butte last weekend when i went to a Horse therapy retreat near the Ochocos.

I love rainbow obsidian! I like it way more than the fire obsidian, and its color is consistent all the way through the rock. Unlike fire that can be a single layer that may not even go all the way through the rock, and in trying to cut or grind down to it, you may go though that micro thin layer and blow that whole piece, which is why it's so expensive. Its not the beauty of the fire, it's that it is so hard to deal with. Rainbow on the other hand is so beautiful and it is consistent through the rock and you can cut it and polish it and even carve it and produce different affects with the rainbow sheen! Its amazing and my favorite obsidian of all! And you guys got some amazing pieces! Those are some of the best rainbow sheens ive seen! The color spectrum is fabulous! They are full color! Thats so awesome! They are some of the most gorgeous colored pieces ive seen come out of glass butte! Absolutely fabulous! Thank you for taking us along on this fabulous day, searching for the rainbows! Thanks Rogue and Quest!

Youre spot on and I'm the same way. Rainbow is my favorite and you wont normally find such quality over there. Davis creek has some great rainbows with teal and blue/green but that is much harder to find at GB. The purple in this one was amazing and I noticed there was a lot of peach color in them as well (which I have seen very little of in the past). Thanks for watching Largent and great to hear from ya.

I went out there in 2005, and we had people come up on us saying that we were in there spot & had to leave. People think they own spots, be careful, a lot of times incidents aren’t reported. It happened twice in different spots, second time I told them they can dig with us or leave us alone. Some lady said you know there are a lot places to hide things out here, her husband turned & told her to shut tha fuck up, enjoy your digging & I apologize for what she said.

I’ve been there twice and only collected surface finds. I have several 5 gallon buckets full. I guess if you want a giant piece it’s worth digging but I was mostly wanting stuff to tumble. There are a lot of maps online that tell you where to find the different colors. I’ve had good luck with the red ribbon stuff, aurora, and midnight lace.

The maps can be useful for sure but I have found that they all say different things. When I was there I was given a map from one of the miners that seems to be accurate. Cant wait to get back out there for more. Thanks for watching!!

@TheRogueRockhound Жыл бұрын
Most of the obsidian you'll find is solid black with no color. There are a variety of different types, but rainbow is particularly prized. As for the color in these, there are flow layers that you cut against (5-15 degree cut) to reveal color. The area also has mahogany, lizard skin, gold sheen, blue sheen, purple sheen, etc. There are 2 buttes (where the area gets it's name) that are loaded with it. Thanks for watching man!
