What IS this?! GORGEOUS Agate Nodule Discovered in the Hills while the River Rises

  • The Yellowstone River's annual spring rise is underway, so Kate and Kava take to the hills to discover more rockhounding treasure. Kate finds an agate nodule that has it all - fortifications, plumes, banding and more. The agate is far different from the common Montana agate she usually finds. Not technically a Treasure State Agate, which has fortifications more like a Fairburn Aagate, this beautiful piece is something entirely different. Kate has decided to call it "Montana Lace." :D

    Katie, you’re a generous soul! Love your channel especially because you find the stone and then show it cleaned up and slabbed. It adds so much to your video. Thanks for sharing!

    What a great hunt/adventure. It's amazing the rocks that can be found away from the river. I really liked the story about the rocks being cracked; it adds another nice dimension to the finding them. And seeing all the cactus was a great reminder of one of my first adventures, with my parents, along the SK/MT border. They brought some of it back with them for their yard, and I now have some of it in my yard. It gets the most beautiful yellow blooms in the Spring/early Summer. And it's great for "dog control" along the edge of the property, ;-).

    Hi Kate, once again it looks like you have some great looking agates & some outstanding Jaspers. I am sure there are a lot of people here in Australia that wish there was an area like that here, which includes me,👍. Even if it is a little prickly at times. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin.

    It always strikes me as odd that we have sooo much flood gravels from Montana and it is all 100% free of agates.

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  3 года назад +1

      The agates formed on the east side of Yellowstone Park, a line of volcanoes stretching 150 miles. The Missoula floods brought you treasure (?) from the west, but I imagine the Rockies (or whatever the geography was at the time) kept all those beautiful agates in the east.

      There are actually much fewer snakes than you might think, and they are pretty shy. Just watch out for them in the shade of bushes and cracks of rocks. They are afraid of you too. :D The other creatures you might see are coyotes, prairie dogs, and mosquitoes. Of those, the mosquitoes are the WORST - wear insect repellant. The other critters will run away from you. Hope this helps!
