It's all about the search for and collection of unique rocks and minerals, whether it's in your own backyard or somewhere more remote.
On my channel, you'll join me on my rockhounding excursions, where we'll explore different locations, hunt for new specimens, and showcase their beauty through lapidary work, and crafting. From agates to jasper, sagenite to crystals, quartz to opal, and even petrified wood, we'll discover new materials and uncover their unique beauty.

How I Turned a River Rock into a Beautiful Necklace
Gorgeous
Que suerte teneis en Oregón, ojalá aquí en España hubiese esos tesoros❤😍
Is this near Butte Falls?
Awesome stuff!
Cool stuff just found your channel.
Amazing video man
Gorgeous, love the green ones.
WOW. You sure have a good eye for picking pieces to work on.
Favorite parts are when you slice, then hold it together, then open it up to reveal secret inside patterns/colors! Thrilling

Whoa, this is a magical place! 🤯 🤩 So amazing. Great finds!
😮
Where are you in Oregon?
Alucinnate!!😮
WoW
Porque esos minerales tan hermosos no los hay en España??😢
Oh dang some of them remind me of Medfordite but with much higher amounts of green than ive seen before from anything in person.
Great cuts!
❤ I love all the beautiful rocks you cut. Omg and wow.
Beautiful ❤
There is actually a few spots less than a mile from the creek you can find some gorgeous Carnelian both in solid crystaline form by itself and mixed with other types of chalcedony as some amazing agates.
Im a rockhounder from southern oregon thanks for telling us where your at...thats why i love watching your videos
@@denisepennington9861 I'm glad you enjoy the channel. We've got lots of good spots to hound in southern Oregon.
Very creative keep going best out of the feed for rock hounding in awhile
@@willymane3243 Thank you.
Beautiful!
Looks like beef steaks 🥩!!!
@RockHoundQuest OH MY😮. That rock in the rough has triggered my pareidolia fascination. I definitely see a face there…Do you? Nice find!
Can someone help me understand what it means to be “agatized”? What is it that differentiates it from other petrified wood? I find so much up here in Northern Arizona, but I’m so ignorant as to what I’m looking at. Also, what are occlusions? I hear that term thrown around by lapidaries.
Amazing stones
I thought you said “sea maggot” 😂
What’s your grit progression after you cut it from start to finish? I have a softball piece that I’d like to cut and polish the flat side of
Red jesper sir

Ever cut a rock pulled from the fire pit ?
What state is this in
This is Oregon.
@RockHoundQuest sweet I have yet to make it to Oregon to hound. So far just my home state Washington as well as Idaho and Montana
Do you sell Applegate jade?
How is this fire opal? I live in a border town between Idaho and Washington. It looks like the typical agate I would find. They're everywhere... sort of. If you know where to go looking I guess. Just curious because if it is, then I have tons of fire opal.
The easiest way to tell is a hardness test. Fire opal is very soft and glass like. Red agate or carnelian are a type of chalcedony, which is very hard and heavy. Fire opal is so light that it almost feels like plastic. Finally, this came from a fire opal mine.
Some of your stuff would look great as natural jewelry!
I think so too! Some of it I have turned into necklaces for friends and family.
These are really Awesome........Thank You for Sharing.
You are so welcome!
I dont get the whole "night dig" thing. Slips, trips, and falls are more commonplace; constantly working in the shadows of your lights, and with reduced overall light to see.
It's definitely not ideal to dig at night. This particular time I was really excited but arrived late. I only planned to poke around for 5 or 10 minutes. Instead, I got incredibly lucky and found something amazing almost instantly. It was the first place I looked! The next day we dug for around 8 hours but didn't find anything nearly as good.
>How do you extract this without breaking any of them (zeolites)? That's the neat part, you don't! 🙂
Incredible colors
This the plush or ponderosa mine ?
@@JwaaT5oh3 This is Plush.
Man, this video just proves how much of a novice rockhounder I am still. I would have just said, “huh, that’s a cool green piece of ‘leavit’ rock,’ and walked right on passed it 🤦🏻♂️. Great video btw. I’m a fan of your page now. Keep up the good work please.
Thanks for checking out the video, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll make sure add some more lapidary videos in the future. Cheers.
You work to close and the stress is realeased into the gem. Whats cracked or broke will always be that way although, Patience grasshopper dig into it further away from gem so you done take a chunk with it.
WOW
What about a box ont he shelf
