Took a trip down south just outside of Camp Verde, AZ with a bunch of other rock nerds to find some blue agates. We found all sorts of colors!

So awesome to see two of my favorite rockhounding channels (Rocks for Brains and AZ Rockhounding Adventures) out collaborating together at some of the sweetest digs that I have ever seen on earth scoring spectacular material! Too Cool! Thanks for sharing! 🤠🙃
It was so much fun! We met up again the next week for some epic petrified wood too. 😊
So cool that you went out with Julie and Brian. I love those two, they are such genuine and fun people! I love it when my favorite channels collaborate on rockhounding trips. Such a beautiful area and extremely gorgeous materials out there. Thanks for sharing this trip Lauren!✌️🤠🤟
easily the best rockhounding channel on youtube. incredibly informative for an aspiring noob
Ow wow thank you so much! 💕😁👍🏻
Wow! Really beautiful agates! Love it! 😊
What an awesome adventure and with some incredible finds! It was a double treat to see both you and AZ Rockhounding Adventures in one video!
...Lookin' forward to your next video!
Dang!!!! What an awesome spot to rockhound, so many amazing agates and such a variety of colours too!!!! Thanks for sharing
Epic location for sure. 😊
Lots of good stuff around Camp Verdi, including fossils. It looked like you had rock fever. Heavy breathing, flipping rocks and lots of laughter. I'm glad you all had fun. Your reds were amazing. Keepnit up! Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Lol definitely rock fever. It was so fun! 😁
Very nice material. So cool. Love the moss plume stuff.
This was an awesome collaboration video. The finds were out of this world. Those are killer hunting grounds.😎😎
The agates in that area are so good! 😁👍🏻
My favorite agate is Indonesian moss agate. And some of those pieces remind me of it! I had no idea we had anything like that with those colors and the clarity together. That is the closest thing I have seen to I.m.a. Great finds.
Beautiful material! Those bots and druzy were incredible! Lots of tumbler candy!
We like big bots and we cannot lie. 😜
You two are awesome! I will have to subscribe to Julie's channel. I think I would go nuts over how much agate is there. The big red and orange fire agate was to die for. Thanks for sharing the fun.
You should, their videos are hilarious. 😁
It really was fun, thanks for letting me tag along! Spectacular finds! New sub
Thank you! 😊
That was fun!
Very good finds
Dang you found some really awesome agates! 🙌🏼🙌🏼that was a fun day!
It was! 😁👍🏻
Those were some absolutely cool rocks and that seam you found of fire, was just amazing! and it was a solid chunk, unlike most of the smaller thin pieces you were finding. But they were all amazing!! what an amazing time and great fun to be had was that? Thank you for sharing!
It was huge!!! The colors on everything are so cool. 😊
I live in Flagstaff and have been wondering where I could go to find nice agate.
Thought so would have to travel to Kingman or Tonapah.
But
.... Camp Verde???? So close!!
Can you help me with some hints of location?
There lots of good agate country in the national forest area south of Camp Verde. You just need to be careful of where you are since there’s a bunch of private claims out there. You can contact Brian and Julie with AZ Rockhound Expeditions and pay a little to go out on their claim. Primo quality stuff out there. 😊
I cant wait to get back out to cali for thundereggs and fire agate! Watching this makes me want to pack up and head out lol
Do it! 😜
@@RocksForBrains oh i will, just need to take a week off to do it haha
Where in Camp Verde is this ?
Great presentations! May I ask what is the bright yellow mineral you were found at the Camp Verde area ? I looked up the mine in Mindat web site but was not sure what it might be identified as- Tom
I recently moved to Prescott. I never really got into geology and rock hounding ( I lived in Florida most of my life. Calcite crystals, buckchoidals, and fossils are about the extent of what there is to find). Since I've been out here I immediately fell in love with all the different minerals and the formations those minerals create. I've found quartz crystal clusters abound with mineral specimens attached, white, clear, and shades of brown bockchoidal chalcedony plates, and large pieces of clear to milky( what I'm told is)opal. I haven't ventured out from around the Prescott and PV areas but would really like to visit Camp Verde since it's fairly close to where I'm at. Is there any chance you would be willing to point me in the right general direction? I'd rather not know specifically. I enjoy the hikes, discovery, and hunt for treasure. Keep rocking on and I look forward to your upcoming posts.
I think in general if you go up into the hills south of the salt mine in USFS land you’ll find stuff. Just be cautious of not going into anyones claims out there. 😋
@@RocksForBrains thank you!!
Oh Yes ma'am I do it all the time, I just don't find much. I'm in South Georgia ughhh 😞 and South Georgia here where I'm at we don't have to many Gemstones; BUT at least I can find ARROWHEADS and Gorgeous Arrowheads by the way I've found a PRETTY TIGER'S EYE STONE AMETHYST EMERALD QUARTZ ROSE QUARTZ FLINT, AND ARROWHEADS AT LEAST. 👍😃 🖐 ♥️ ♥️
Pretty rocks often make good stone tools. The more dense the quartz crystals the better the material. 😊
This is amazing. What's the location called?
I’m not sure it has a name to be honest. We were following the group so I doubt I could find my way out there on my own without directions lol. I know it was southwest of the Camp Verde salt mine in the hills somewhere near Rodeo Flats. 🤷🏼♀️
How can you not tell the difference if it's a vein or if it's tailings on top of the ground there must be obvious difference.
Not sure I understand the question. If you’re in an area where you know there has been hand mining, but also lots of erosion, the pieces on the ground might not be in piles but scattered. Unless you can easily see the source of the pieces inside nearby host rock it may not be obvious.
Anyone have specific directions to rockhounding or fossil sites in Camp Verde?
Don’t know about fossil sites but depending on what you’re looking for there’s a lot of good ground in the national forest south of salt mine rd. Just be careful you’re not out on someone’s claim.
Which area in Camp Verde was this? Near Grandpa Wash?
No it was south of the salt mine area in the hills near rodeo flats.
@@RocksForBrains I'd really like some info. I'm in prescott. You say south of salt mine. Like the actual salt mine near bullpen?
Wish I was there with you lady's; I LOVE ♥️ ROCK HUNTING 🪨 ♥️👍 😃 🖐
That’s great! Hopefully you can get out and hunt for some things where you are. 😊
