The Incredible Discovery Of A Rare Blue Chalcedony Jasper

[@MontanaRockMom]

I look like such a dork with my mosquito net on! It was a rough mosquito morning, LOL. This hunt Holds my most EPIC piece of petrified palm wood and a unique jasper find!

[@atuuschaaw]

Yeah, the palm wood with chalcedony and the yellow speckled jasper kind of tie for my #1. ♥

[@drewnelson7298]

My family and I hunt there. Good spot.

[@janketza0206]

Have you tried Absorbine Plus for those bugs. When I lived in the Midwest we used that during the buggy season. It has an order about it that really keeps the bugs out of your face. I used an old hat and rolled it on the brim and it kept the bugs out of my face and eyes. Just a FYI.

[@r.awilliams9815]

Well, maybe a trifle dorky...but how dorky would you look all spotty with skeeter bites? 😉 A great day indeed, can't wait to see some slices. The first red jasper reminds me somewhat of the poppy jasper we find here on the Olympic Peninsula.

[@grokeffer6226]

Drogon will have a mighty feast. You Rock, Rock Mom!!!

[@sandmaker]

Ok, now your just showing off. You have the best spots and they have the best rocks and you have magic eyes to spot them all. I'm glad you picked up some beautiful jasper along with amazing agates. Keep the fun coming. I'm glad you used some netting. I just hope it worked. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒

Charm! And there are such beauties?👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@watermelon-rx5ok]

That yellow spotted jasper agate is absolutely incredible!!

[@northbama]

Awesome jasper!

[@ChristineWood-l6q]

I swear you consistently find the most beautiful rocks of all the rockhounders I follow! Thank you so much!!

[@mitchgillilan]

6:30 agatized stromatalite? 10:00 I can't believe that giant blue montana agate!!! It doesn't even look like it has 1 fracture or defect in it!! 💙 That agatized palm wood is my all time favorite but I really love some of the other pet wood and jasp-agates. They're all epic! Best rock hunt ever MRM!!!!!

[@jkxtc2016]

The places you go to rockhound are amazing.. ...the rocks are so beautiful...and from one ○|||||||○ lover to another 🖐 we can go places others can't...

[@khismet]

Love the Jeep logo.. Instantly recognizable.

[@deniseview4253]

I love jasper. Beautiful agates, and that one jasper at the end is the most gorgeous I’ve seen any of you rockhounds have found. 🥰

[@graemero5532]

You are right MRM, Blue is the colour 🟦

[@IndusRiverRock]

Amazing finds all stones are so beautiful thanks for beautiful sharing 😊

[@montanalivin8248]

Those are some beautiful finds, especially the yellow and blue Jaspery-agate!

[@bethfry3415]

Whoa! Wow! Your finds keep getting better & better! So enjoy your videos!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thank you Beth

[@Grown92657]

Thank you so much for sharing and all your hard work to bring all this beauty to us. I don’t get to do much rock hounding myself so it’s really great to see your finds. I would love to be there collecting agates with you you find the most beautiful rocks I have ever seen. Thanks again, love and light and ROCKS!!!

[@MontanaRockMom]

Thanks Gail

[@yelenalastovkina5681]

Rocks just stunning !

[@tankanderson5299]

Wow you have the gift of finding the most amazing jasper agates , very cool finds

[@tankanderson5299]

Montana mom you have the gift of rocking it with the best agates I have ever seen here in Alberta we have jasper but kinda dull compared to the ones in Montana .

[@wyodino6245]

That first one was one you could just sit and gaze at forever. Those green jaspers are gifts because they tend to get chewed up by the big currents. Wow,.. I just want to comment on every one you find! That yellow spotted one was fantastic and the dark one was so solid and gorgeous! And you have got to love the gnarly ones with so much character. And then that light one with all of the banding was so bright and uplifting like a beautiful sunrise bringing in the light of a new day. The hidden agate with the blue banded heart was true eye candy. I love those petrified wood knots are agatized or jasperized...nothing better! You are just finding sooo many keepers. Oh so nice! Keep getting out there, MRM. The days are growing shorter and the rocks are calling....seek on...and enjoy those offerings of The Mighty River. I sure did this time. Thanks for sharing. Smiles to ya! (And NO !!!...rockers never look like dorks....well...🙃...we are always beautiful on the inside at least...just like the rocks we find. Our outside coverings just hide our true beauty. )😀

[@janketza0206]

Yes, like everything he said!

[@largent45]

Great finds! I love the petrified wood and jasper finds. My favorite find was that big ole chunk of petrified palm wood. Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

You always bring it home with your agates and Jasper. So many amazing specimens. And we get to see you cut them open and polish them later. The goodness continues. Thanks so much from Australia 🦘.

[@hockeyrace]

I loved this episode. Such gorgeous finds 🤯. I so wish I could come along, in person, with you on your adventures. I would be in high heaven 😇. You are so lucky to have this location within your reach. If I could, I’d move there in a heartbeat! Love your channel ❤️. I really appreciate that you do all this hard work for us. Thank you so much, Kim! Good to see you covering yourself from the sun and bugs. That’s what taking care of yourself looks like! No need to be embarrassed. I do my best to keep myself Sun and Bug Free! Thanks so much again for all your hard work and sharing. Stay Crystal 💫 Mari

[@lotsoftats7620]

So beautiful, cool rocks too. So much blue!

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

Absolutely beautiful finds. You definitely find the best rocks of all the rock tubers. That green jasper was insanely beautiful. It definitely looks so hot, best to take cover. Currently pouting with rain over here in New Zealand.

Tremendous finds! You lucky, hardworking woman! You have a super keen eye for agates!

[@rockandfound]

You have been doing some filming lately Kim and I love it. Loved the Jasp and wood but damn that blue and black banded ageey boy was my fav.

[@silverback5033]

Hi MRM, wow those jaspers are stunning, the first one, the green one & that one with mottled yellow sections were just awesome pieces. The rest of the stones I would have loved to have picked up but those couple o& jaspers were at another level. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

[@japhyryder66]

That agatized palm wood is amazing!

[@reneewilbur4340]

Aww the little green yellow is stunning

[@GDSavingThePast]

Hard to pick a favorite in this hunt but it was a nice way to start with a stunning piece of red flame jasper and it never tapered off with great looking finds from that point on. Would love to see some finished slabs and cabs, especially cabs from some of the days finds.

[@daniellemayfield3584]

You are so adorable! Thank you for your videos

[@hikewithme59]

It was 105 in Montana 😮…I’m in Arizona, but didn’t think you would get that kind of temperatures!! It’s exhausting !! Great video!! Rock on!! Hike from Arizona 🌵✌️

[@billpattison4702]

This was a great day for you and your finds were so awesome One of your best videos, one of my favorites!!!!!!

[@mysticalrockhoundingfossil5464]

Wow you got some nice Agates there ! and also the Green and Blue Jasper , amazing . And that bridge , ... must be somewhere way out in the mountains . Thanks for the Video .

[@jarmyvicious]

Salut Montana, I loved the show, you find great rocks.... and don't worry, the netting did very little to damage your fine looks, I know you were in there! Thanks for sharing! Cheers and blessings sent!

[@kathleenhollowell8686]

I am sooo jealous!!! I go agate hunting at dry lagoon state park Northern California. Agates there are smooth and clear and very hard to find and on a much smaller scale. I want to plan a trip out there next summer. Maybe you cold be my tour guide. Hooked on your finds, love it love it 😍… Kathleen, from lake Shasta.

[@valsummers5330]

Nothing to say They are really great agates Looking forward to seeing drogon eat them up!!

Omg so crazy! I just got done with a week and half vacation from Sidney to billings with my kids and we found crazy agates,wood,and jasper best hunt we've had yet. Wish I lived closer to the yellowstone so I could do this every day!

[@kellyanderson5142]

I loved the pet wood the most. Absolutely amazing. What/how will you cut that big green/multicolored jasper? Thanks for your willingness to share and your encouragement.

[@MontanaRockMom]

That big green one is such a beauty I may not have the heart to cut it....😊

[@Hustlemandalorian]

Wow, I’m so jealous of the blue and yellow jasper, it was beautiful!

[@denisthemineralist4033]

Just crushing it as usual! We get a fairly good amount of palm wood down here in Texas, but I don't recall many pieces that quality that are THAT big, for sure! It also looks like you, I, and Agate Dad all pulled a similar rock in the same week. We were comparing one from his latest vid to one I found the same day, and then here you come with that one at 2:25 on this video. Kinda cool! All I can say is I hope the agates are as big and beautiful when we get up there next month!

[@notinmanitou]

What gorgeous rocks!!! Don't worry about how you look in netting. It's better than red mosquito bites or even worse horse flies or black flies (we have black flies in the UP of Michigan...awful). I just got my husband and son net jackets with attached hoods so there is no opening at the neck. You can also get whole suits, including mittens and booties. Check out Michigan Rocks on Lake Superior this summer. He's got a bug suit. You find some really beautiful rocks out there. Can't wait to see what you do with them. Every time you bend over for a rock I see six more that I would like to have too. Especially the petrified wood. I love pet wood and it's very rare where we live. You're very smart to carry a little water in a bucket like that. I've seen that before and I think it's a great idea.

[@mindseyeproductions8798]

really smart preparedness bringing that insect head net.

[@jefftinney3131]

That's what I would call a specimen day!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Thank you for sharing another amazing hunt! The high quality of your videos make your adventures the best out there. I'd be right there with you on the mosquito netting. Those little rascals can ruin an outing. You are wise to take all the precautions available. Can't wait to see what you do with that big blue banded agate!

[@deniseview4253]

Rob, of Michigan Rocks gets a netting suit he wears while rockhounding. Don’t know where he got it but it works for bugs. I too like blue in the rocks and the green jasper. Any color jasper is I love. You always find beautiful rocks.

[@brianchristofferson2503]

Great video! We love the same kind of rocks although I seem to find more petrified wood than agates. Please keep these videos coming.

Excellent hunt MRM. What's the story on the bridge? The mosquito guard looked great and doesn't coverup your enthusiasm at all. Rock on!

@@treasurelife6922 yeah....it's a bit sketchy. I've gotten a flat before driving over it.

[@treasurelife6922]

@@MontanaRockMom it did look sketchy for sure. Changing a tire out there had to be a challenge I bet. Nothing would stop me from getting to a possible hot spot for treasures either.

Looks like you find big agates in your state. I live in Michigan and have yet to find a real agate. Yours are beautiful.

[@Ken_G.]

3 videos in 1 week! Kim's back in force. I've got to ask, what's up with the bucket, did your spray bottle break or you just changing things up? I'd say great finds, but aren't they always?

[@MontanaRockMom]

My spray bottle busted! I carried that freaking bucket around with me. Just got a new one thank goodness. A spray bottle is my rockhounding lifeline.

[@cynergy4]

Yummy rock candy! Don't worry about looking like a dork with the netting, it's better than being covered by bites, and many of us are dorky even without the netting

Okay so jealous I started a new job in june so havent had time to do any tock hounding this year. So beautiful thank you for doing this video your jaspers were amazing as always and some of your agates make me want to see them polished. Thanks Kim

[@RM-vw3ov]

Ooooo fun day! Some of those big agates would look unreal tumbled. Do you ever tumble the big ones? Or are you and Drogon on a slab streak?😆

[@MontanaRockMom]

Yes, sometimes I tumble the big ones. However, it's usually to get the rough outer layer off to clean it up a bit. I find I need to get the deeper pits or cracks fixed up by hand or else I don't like the finished product. Sometimes I will even clean up some spots with my Dremel.

[@jamesbaker7112]

Drogon is conspicuous by his absence. I like to see them come out of the river but I like to look inside, too! What is the yellow in 4:55? Where can I see it cut and polished? I come to you to "get right" after too many negative videos.

[@MontanaRockMom]

The yellow jasper is so intense in that one at 4:55... I don't know if I can ever cut that one...it's stunning sitting on my shelf. It's in a spot where I can see it every day 😊
