Back to the River! Rock Hunting the Yellowstone for Vibrant Jasper, Agatized Wood, & Montana Agates!
In this one, we race to beat the rising river in time to find a few last specimens! After our Florida road trip, I had been so busy that I didn't get a chance to get to the river before it started coming up. Knowing my window was closing, we attempted to find one last stretch of bank with exposed gravel. We ended up going WAY farther than I had planned on, but we did end up finding some gorgeous material! Colorful jaspers, petrified and agatized wood, Montana agates, and even one phenomenal Treasure State Agate! It was a much longer journey than I had planned on, but I am happy we got out while we could! The river is considerably lower now, so more river hunts will be coming very soon!

Просмотров 4,4 тыс.21 час назад
In this one, we make a stop on our return route from Florida to cross off one of my bucket list rocks: Crowley Ridge Agates!

We ended up walking away with a gorgeous little pile of heavily banded agates, a handful o...

In this one, we use my new "not-so-new" Vibratory Lap to polish some rocks! I have had this amazing tool for quite awhile but just recently figured out how to use it, so I figured what better way to break it in than polishing a bunch of rocks! We selected a few beautiful Haunted Ridge agates, a fantastic Teepee Canyon agate, some agatized coral, a chunky amygdaloidal basalt, and a royal blue ag...

In this one, we head to a private site with our good friend Derek the Rock Master to hunt for some amazing calcite fossil specimens! Unfortunately, the site had eroded quite a bit during recent storms, so we had several hours of digging before we even saw our first specimen.

In this one, we go back to a hunt from the summer when a fishing trip to the mountains turned into a hunt for gorgeous chalcedony, agates, and amygdaloidal basalt! This basalt is some of my favorite material to collect and cut because of its inclusions of absolutely perfect micro agates, complete with druzy pockets, filled in quartz, and even fortification and waterline banding!

    Since it is a beautiful agate as a whole, why not give the Treasure State Agate a complete polish on the whole agate. You could use the cab machine or the wet grinder to end up with a large specimen that retains the all over beauty of the stone, You will probably have to trim (or grind) off some of the bumps. the rock is too pretty to be cut up.

    Theo that TSA is wild, my fav of the video. I love California, hate what politics has done to a beautiful state, that said, the sunset you showed is definitely beautiful, really shows the big sky state. If I had to move Montana would be my next home. I have been there a couple of times and MT is my favorite state.

    OMG! You found some awesome pieces! The river was rising fast and the sun was setting, even faster! But you still managed to find an unbelievable TSA, a gorgeous plume jasper, and that beautiful agatized burl! Not to mention the whole rest of the pretty jaspers and agatized and petrified wood pieces! Those are just amazing! And that little banded agate with the lacey looking fortification banding! That was small but soooo beautiful! Again, no favorites here; there is a best in category from each kind of find, but no best overall! I love them all! Thanks Theo! And "hi" Alexis! You guys are so cute and amazing together❣️

    You should go to the Denver rock show if you can. It is one of the big 3. It has so much stuff from agates, fossils, crystals, geodes, etc. Vendors from around the world. I met vendors from Congo bringing Malachite, Madagascar guys had fossils, agates, guys from Brazil and Uruguay and Paraguay had massive Amethyst. After talking to many people there, most retail shop owners get their stuff at the Denver show as so many vendors and crazy good prices. I got some giant pieces of amethyst for example for $15-20, which would have been $100-120 in a retail shop. Bring a trailer Theo though.

Since i can never get mine level my pans wear down faster than normal on one side which ruins the pan. It's definitely the hardest tool I own to operate properly. Your first effort turned out great. Look forward to seeing more!
