Rocks That Flash Like Labradorite!? Hunting for Bronzite, Diopside and More! | Hunt, Slab, & Polish

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: 2 words come to mind: Stunning and Mysterious! I would like to see you collect and work some more of that material!

[@debiesubaugher]

I keep one of those weather radios with me when I go out. Remember, weather is an art 😆

[@spartanchirho]

I love this stuff too!!!! The longer the video the better!

[@nancygaxiola5412]

That is so cool for me to see. I'm a beader, and I never saw what the big deal was because I've NEVER seen the flash in bronzite.

[@lindaleehulsey3167]

SUPER EXCITING FINDS🤣🙃🤣😄😃

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* WOW Love rocks with chatoyancy.. So envious of you finding all of those..

[@suzettecalleja3122]

Beautiful rocks, and I just want to say how much I love the music you choose.

[@IndusRiverRock]

Beautiful sharing 👍

[@donc5220]

Wicked MAn!1 That Green

[@spartanchirho]

Excited about fossil and crystal hunt!!!!!! Get after it!

[@FSCHW]

Your videos are great but they are so much better when you show slabbing and polishing. 👍

[@melindahawk8540]

I love Laborite and diopside. Your job is so cool.

[@kirsiselei8703]

Omg, how beautiful💕

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Oh my gosh! That stuff is so cool and beautiful! 😊

[@donnabeaudin9114]

Awesome video Theo! I love learning about minerals, nice!! Beautiful finds!

[@janehelbert7551]

Bronzite was my favorite!

[@jennifershipp2599]

Thank you, you right about our rivers are amazingly high. I love learning from you. I like the same specimen you said was your favorite. You got to flash so awesomely a few times. 😊

[@deniseview4253]

It is very cool polished. A favorite? All of it.

[@Ismail-dd7oi]

Omg how beautiful

[@melindahawk8540]

Russian diopside is one of my favorites. Good job Theo

[@graemero5532]

Very cool Theo

[@katherinedoughty839]

Noice ! 👍

[@CacklingChick]

Awesome video and very informative. ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️

[@paulwells782]

Thoroughly enjoy sharing the experience of finding the rocks with you. Absolutely love seeing the results of processing said specimens.

[@Nikkisavage100]

Nice, i like the cabochon u did !

[@juliemckenna514]

Very cool stuff!😊

[@michaelvandyke6715]

Excellent material....

[@songbirdscreations-MargaretS]

Gorgeous! I would love to see some cabs made of that!

[@jennystone421]

I have a small chunk of bronzite, but I havent seen it with that much flash! Very cool!!

[@greatnorthernviews3052]

Never heard about those. Very cool

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Archean?! Wow cool! We have some early Cambrian stuff in Missouri but that’s the oldest

[@Debbie4729]

I have found some grey/green material like this in Brookings,Oregon,that I can't identify.Glad to see yours-maybe that will help me I.D. my stuff.Great material!

[@cleanstreamrockhounding]

I’m gonna take a trip to Keene valley to get some labradorite at some point. I guess this is next :)

[@judymarkel8029]

That was really cool

[@sandmaker]

I have never heard of most of them, thanks for sharing the knowledge and the BEAUTIFUL stones. 😷⚒

[@largent45]

That is a cool mineral and one I've never heard of, and I agree, it reminds me of labradorite! It is very cool and all the samples of different rock you brought back, are so cool. The chrome diopside is beautiful. I love the green rocks and gems and chrome diopside is one of my favorites! And now bronzite too is going to become one of my favorites! That is such a unique formation out there! Montana is so different and wonderful. It has the most wonderful rocks and minerals and fossils and it's all packed into one state! Amazing! Definitely on my bucket list of places to visit! Thanks Theo, for the education of you unique formation! And the beautiful rocks and gems that it forms!

[@patriciamckean4186]

Wow, that flash is really nice. Never heard of that stuff. Hmmm what to make?

[@patrickbeaton6697]

cooooooool

[@Grumpy_Codger]

I'm going to have to find some bronzite, I'd never seen it until now. I tried some binghamite a while back, it has a chatoyancy like tiger eye too. The ore I bought was not very good, but there was a little red flash in it. Pretty cool. :)

[@helgavoorneveld1530]

Amazing indeed you can still suprise us in the most spectacular way!!😂 How beautiful are all of those minerals I've never even heard of 😮 Actually glad we got to see it worked on because it wasn't A Grade material so cool!! Thank you for sharing and for telling us some more about the area and science 🧡🧡🧡

[@preciadocr1ss]

The last one looks like metal or something!

[@robinrozelle9890]

Where are you hunting? I found some awesome flash pieces in NC, not sure the minerial but I can't wait to polishe some.

[@rotisumbuErikGemstone]

Tetap mempesona🎉

[@ikestoddard2458]

Peridotite? As in where peridot crystals are found? I am hoping to source (soon) peridot for a personal memorial project. Also, I think your rock of Serpentine is Olivine. Is there a test?

[@TaneKarnes]

I would like to know too

[@icatz]

I've loved bronzite for a long time and buy it to make jewelry. Unfortunately, most people don't like brown gemstones. Philistines. Larvikite has that awesome chatoyancy as well, but in shades of grey. If you make a small bronzite cab I'd be interested in buying it. TFS P.S. I thought olivine was one of the most abundant minerals on the planet.

[@karihart2980]

Why why why cant we find cool stuff like that over here by Glacier Park😢

[@thepurplecraftshack3075]

At 1:31 was that a shark tooth behind that hammer stone looking rock?

[@petepeterson4540]

like opal

[@andrewwong3825]

👍

[@jaykirschenman]

what kind of flashlight do you use?

[@rogersanders-x8z]

Do you still sell rocks?

[@Byrdznyst]

There's Some Rocks N Tha Landscaping at Wendy's I'm Always Scoring At *

[@Byrdznyst]

Tha Pyrite of Labrodite *

[@Bob1923Dobbs]

I enjoy searching for cool minerals as well but I really got nothing from your video. Too much commentary about how pretty your finds are rather than info about composition and formation. You must have shown the same rock nearly a dozen times and all I know about it is it's bronzite. What is it made of and how does it form? Is it useful for something besides admiring? How does it look in a thin slice and/or highly polished? I hope you will take these comments as I intended, which is as constructive criticism not bashing.

[@vickygoodwin9771]

It was an adventure into a new mineral possibly two. He spoke of getting even better pieces and exploring further. It was not a completed study. We love what we learn on these adventures!

[@raystevens687]

It looks like if you slab some of the bigger rocks 🪨 you might get lucky to make cabs for sure.
