Love you guys. Thank you for everything. I came across really old prehistoric petrified wood, that is WHITE. Pinkish hue where it cracking....really cool old stuff
Would you have any idea what former tree it came from? Shall I send you a picture
I like to tumble rocks and i have no idea what most of them are so I bought Moh's Hardness Test Kit about a year ago and it really helps to get the tumbler filled with about the same hardness of rock for a better tumble. Thank you for the demonstration.
Great video! Darn I really wanted the DIY to do a better job! Thanks for the information!
A teally good explanation. I will save this and the next time someone asks me about testing hardness I will give them the link. Thanks for all you do.😊
Thank you! :)
There really is nothing like a good pick set, for testing hardness. As you said, not all people can afford them though. In the field you can always collect a sample of the rock in question, and bring it home and ask a more knowledgeable person what the rock is, or take it to your local rock club and borrow a pick set or you can wing it with substitutes. But results may vary. There is no substitute for the accumulated knowledge that you can get from a rock club, in all things Rick and gem related. And if you are to scared to join a rock club, there is always RUclips, and I would highly recommend the Currently Rockhounding channel for good, honest, videos without all the hype and click aut titles that don't have anything to do with the videos! Lol! Thanks Jared for answering their questions and fulfilling their desire to see the kit in action! It just proves my point. You really are one of the most honest, no hype or bs content creators out there. And I thank you and applaud you for that!❤
Very educational for those who may not realize how many rocks differ from one another. Now you need to talk about Pseudo-morphs and how they can be deceiving. But that's a more advance topic. Thanks for doing these kinds of videos.
I think that would be a great subject to cover, thank you for the idea.
Very helpful, thank you!

I'm glad you liked it.
Great information👍👍
This will keep the scratches at bay! See you later. I’m going outside!!
Thanks
Thx for sharing sir! Moh was always my favorite of the three Stooges! 🤔😂 "Pick" me a hardness and figure it out~
Great idea. Way too simple. Thanks!
I'm glad you liked it!
Would the test on the thunderegg be different if it was polished?
The results will stay the same regardless of the level of finish, so long as it's moderately smooth.
10:01 it scratched the glass 5.5 but was scratched by the #6 pick... So wouldn't it be a 5.5-6?
That is correct, I misspoke there. Thank you for catching that.
Ok, new temu lapidary gimmic product: nail polishes in the different hardness levels so you can turn your 10 fingernails into you own pic set. 10 hardness levels, 10 digits, coincidence, I think not.
Ha! I like it!
Nails arent reliable because there are actually different types of nails. A galvanized nail is different then a vinyl coated sinker vs a hardened positive placement nail. 1# opal 2# bull quartz #3 chalcedony #4 jasper #selenite
