    That last one with the red is beautiful! But the one you found a little bit before it had what looked like an eye in the center of that bug...that agate is one of the nicest I've seen you find... incredibly awesome. My brothers are going out tomorrow...it will be my first sideways video...stay tooned...I'm excited! In the meantime...keep finding those Yellowstone treasures and I will keep coming along.

    Wow! Y'all found some really beautiful rocks. Many thanks to Mary for letting you and Theo hunt on her property! Too many beauties to pick a favorite, I'd have to see them all laid out together. I'm partial to pet wood but there were many outstanding agates too.

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  Год назад +2

      Thanks, Steve! I think picking a favorite is like picking a favorite child - it just depends who is in front of you at the time.

    I think my son Cash actually found a Montana agate that made it's way all the way to Chain of Rocks in Illinois just north of St. Louis! It's tiny compared to your finds but it sure looks like Montana agate to me... Definitely one of my rockhounding goals to get out on the Yellowstone sometime! You guys have some of the best gravel bar rockhounding in North America I think.

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  Год назад +1

      That's cool, Dustin! I agree, the Yellowstone river has the best gravel. :)

    Beautiful 🤩 finds. I so enjoy your adventures. Theo’s adventures also. Wishing I could find these beautiful rocks in my area. I have found a few. Geologically speaking agates aren’t abundant in the area where I live. I can travel to find agates. But they are mostly in desert. That makes it harder for me to find/identify them. Anyways thank you for sharing your beautiful finds.

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  Год назад

      Yep! Some of them actually have "sunburn" - opalization on the rind because of exposure to UV rays. Thanks for watching!

  • @Charley_Buehner
    @Charley_Buehner Год назад

    @14:05 -- Purely coincidence, but I'm currently having some level of success with muriatic acid on that opalization layer. After a couple hours, it does seem to be noticeably milder. I'll see how it does with an extended soak.

    • @Charley_Buehner
      @Charley_Buehner Год назад

      Update - soaked in muriatic for probably a day and a half - definitely improved the coating, but didn't kill it. No clue if it's any more efficient than tumbling or not, but it helped a little, for whatever that's worth.

    how do you tell the difference between jasper and plume agate? does it feel the same as an agate?

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  Год назад +1

      It does! They are all made of microcrystalline silica. The difference, I guess, is in the plumes, which look sorta like feathers.

    • @KatyDidRocks

      It does, doesn't it? I think those are just quartz crystals that still have their points - but a shark tooth would be cooler!
