Yours and mine 😁

Thank you. Are you serious about rocks near Two Rocks ? There is nothing but Limestone for 100s of kilometres in any direction. The closest rocks of any interest would be the Darling Range where you'll find lots of Quartz and Granite, next closest would be Moora for Chert then Paynes Find about a 4-5 hour drive for the first trace of some really interesting rocks like Jaspers and Breccia. Most of the rest of the state has an abundance of beautiful rocks, except for the coast. You'd be better off coming down to Yanchep and having a look at the masses of beautiful WA rocks I've collected and sell 👍

@@paulhardiehahaha I thought as much, most informative Paul thank you. Do you still run your pop up shop?

Thank you ☺

😄have you tried rockaholics anonymous ? 😆

@@paulhardie Cruel Paul so cruel.

@@GordonVincent 😆apparently I have to be . . . if I want to be kind 😉

Yeah, it just took her a little longer than normal 😁

Thank you, I'll let her know 😃

Very funny 😆

Thank you, glad you liked it, Happy New Year to you too 👍

That is weird 🤔. . . good, but weird 😁

Thank you, I made a video of our trip a few weeks ago, I'll add a link 👍 ruclips.net/video/ZrLptk9ipWg/видео.htmlsi=qCoByF6eSlQAMgBO

@paulhardie Thank you for the link. A wonderful video. Hyden seems unique and special. The rocks are just outstanding. The two of you made my day.

@@coldpond thank you I showed the missus your comment, she's a bit under the weather today, it cheered her up ☺

I'll let her know 👍😄

Hay Stan, Happy New Year to you too 👍 The rocks are pretty tough, some like Amethyst will fade a little but most stay the same, some of the Chrysolcolla might disintegrate a little. Weeds are the main issue but I quick spray of weed killer every few months takes care of them. Dust will make them appear dull but a quick hose down cures that 😄

Thanks Rick, I'll pass on your compliments 😃👍

Yes she did a good job 👍

Thanks Mahnee, I'll tell you what though, it's really not easy 😳

Thanks Nicola, I thought you would already have one, I think they're indispensable 👍

@paulhardie not yet, but I'm going to have a look for one.

@@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976 you won't regret it 👍

Hey, the same to you my friend ☺👍

☺☺☺

We'll see when it happens . . . and it will happen 😆

At first I thought, that garden is really nice!!!. And then I thought like Nicola. God knows what happens when you start stealing the rocks😆😆

@@paulhardie 🤣🤣🤣

@Udgaard01 😆I'll have to get sneaky 😁

@@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976 😁😁😁

Thank you Lewis, looks like you did a bit of binge viewing today 😄

@paulhardie 🤣😂I did

@LewisKennedy-t4w 😃😄😆🤣

I think so too ☺

I would get some #600 Silcon Carbide as stage three (that's what I use) using the #1500 AO as stage 3.5 before final polish can only help you achieve a better gloss 👍

😆 I still get a chuckle when I think of it 😁

Hi Michael, I take it by your use of pounds you're probably in the US, I certainly sell all the rocks I have but the cost of shipping to the US is usually a deal breaker, if you're still interested it's best to email me at - print@westnet.com.au - to discuss 👍 Paul.

I've actually done that same trip between Norseman and Kalgoorlie three times in the last three months 😁some very nice material there 👍

@paulhardie you are very lucky to live in rock paradise.

@@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976 I wouldn't disagree 😁

Yeah it's a good idea to avoid travelling at dusk and dawn in certain areas, they're such dopey animals 😄

@paulhardie I was on a bus heading from Adelaide to Brisbane. It broke down at a place called Yunta, in the middle of nowhere 🤣 The bus was full, and I had the front seat. By the time we got going , it was dusk, omg it was awful.

@@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976 certainly is exciting . . . especially if it's not your vehicle 😁

Thank you Nicola and a Happy New Year to you and yours, I hope your vibe tumbler is working well

@@paulhardie the vibe is amazing, I'm so impressed with how well it works. Im still waiting for my polish, I've only done 220, and 600 in it.

@@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976 keep me posted 👍

Thank you ☺I'm not sure what other uses Silicon Carbide has but in rock tumbling it's used to shape the rocks through constant grinding in the tumbler, starting at #46 or #80 grit then moving onto #220 and #600 getting smoother with each grit change then finally using Aluminium Oxide as the polish 👍

We have quite a few "younger" members, the rock hunts are usually during school/work days so it's mostly retirees who go on them, although we did have a 13 year old on this one 👍and greetings from a hot and sticky Western Australia 😁

I guess it depends on how nice it looks and the colouring, here in Western Australia it is extremely common, however we also have Tiger Iron which is Banded Iron with bands of Tiger Eye mixed in, that is worth considerably more than plain Banded Iron, I made a short on it, see below 👍 ruclips.net/user/shortsc-aRW81K1HI?feature=share

😆it's the town after P just before you reach R 😆 The town of Cue in Western Australia 👍

@@paulhardie Oh, I thought maybe it was some form of bogan slang mispronunciation or something.

@@johnnynephrite6147 😆😆😆

I hope you enjoyed it Vicki 👍

Great minds think alike hey ? 😃 I was just about to start a series of before and after rock video shorts now that I've uploaded all of the rock cutting ones, it'll take a while as I need to get another batch cut up and tumbling to keep the tumblers moving.

@paulhardie That's awesome!! Looking forward to them!

@@jennabennett4236 👍👍👍

Yeah I knew all that 😆. . . not really . . . but I think I'll stick with Marshmallow Rock 😁

Glad you liked it Mahnee, I have two more installments from that trip to upload . . . slack . . . I know 😄

Thank you my friend, I'm glad you enjoyed it, two more to go from that trip 👍

Thank you, I'm sure you'll enjoy the content, excuse my ignorance but do you get much in the way of interesting rocks in Greece ?

@@paulhardie Thank you very much for the comment, because I hardly know English and everything I write is from translation I can not understand what you mean at the end you write about Greece

@@GREEKEXPLORERS Sorry, I will ask again and try translating as well. I was wondering if you have many interesting rocks in Greece ? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Συγγνώμη, θα ρωτήσω ξανά και θα προσπαθήσω να μεταφράσω επίσης. Αναρωτιόμουν αν έχετε πολλούς ενδιαφέροντες βράχους στην Ελλάδα; 👍😃👍

@@paulhardie Good afternoon happy new year with health and many successes in the field!! Of great interest (worldwide) are the mines of Lavrio with over 700 types of minerals plus over 30 endemic minerals that have been found for the first time in the mines of Lavrion!! Almost all of Greece and especially in northern Greece is full of rocks such as jasper, agates, chalcedonians and petrified woods and in some areas plus some islands there are rubies, sapphires, gold and diamonds and many more in various areas!!

@@GREEKEXPLORERS WOW sounds like you have a terrific range of rocks over there, do you go out collecting ?

Thank you Theo ☺

I tried doing a bit of research before posting but it seams there are two Afghan Rocks in WA, the one we saw near Cue and another near Balladonia . . . buggered if I could figure out which was the history of the one we visited 😆

@@paulhardie Probably both are named for the same thing.

@@victoryoneable quite possibly 😀

Picture Jasper is always a surprise 😀

So, do you see a picture in it ? 😄

@paulhardie 🤣 excuse my imagination but to me it looks like dalmatians and dalmatian puppies, an abstract painting 😍 but i also just watched a video about the worlds deepest cave, and it looks like a picture taken from inside a cave as well 😄

@@HettieJansenVanVuuren wow . . . that's some imagination 😄

@paulhardie 😂 when you open it right after cutting there are two puppy faces at the top of each side, and when its the closeup of one of the sides its a bigger one at the bottom jumping or junning very fast downhill 🤣🤣🤣 paradolia

@@HettieJansenVanVuuren I had to look it up but that's what it is alright 😁

Picture Jasper's always a surprise 😀

Can you see a picture ? 😀

Hi Wendy, are you in the Perth region of WA ? Probably best to email me at : print@westnet.com.au and I will give you heaps of info on all sorts of rock related stuff 👍

Thank you and the same to you and yours ☺

Of course you can, are you thinking polished or rough rocks ? I've actually run out of room on that wall and will be making another section on an adjacent wall over Christmas😀

@@paulhardie polished. Ur minerals look amazing 😍 I live in an apartment can’t tolerate the tumbler sound for weeks

@@rollinoutsidetv2892 I hear that a lot about people living in apartments, it's a pity. If you'd like some polished rocks it's best to email me at : print@westnet.com.au to discuss what you're after, pricing and shipping costs 👍

Thank you, yeah she's a nice old chook 😄

Thank you ☺

Yes it was 😀a heap of fun.
