Really liked the one with the quartz seam and the “thunderegg” one. That last one should look great polished. Love that you show everything, even the duds!
Just got recommended this video. It's funny, I work in pathology and this is pretty much exactly how we do tissue sectioning for gross examination -- just with rocks instead! Really cool video, very nice rocks :)
It has been years since i visited Rockhound State Park. I have found some very beautiful rocks there that i used in jewelry. Some of my findings were geodes that were quite beautiful inside. Some were solid, while others were hollow with amethyst and very nice. There is a small town south of Deming named Columbus. There are three mountains just north of Columbus called the Three Sisters. There are several mines in these mountains where nice stones may be found. But, the land is private land and permission must be granted before venturing into it.
I recently watched the trip video the other day, and I, too, thought that those would produce better results on the inside. Oh well, never know until you slab them. That yellow one was my favorite!
If you keep NW a few more hours, you start hitting some great blue seam agates in the Gila NM region. I've not gone out there myself but it is on the list of places to visit one day! Great rocks!
If you're very familiar with the rocks from that are, I would love to send you a photo or piece of a rock I found there and need help identifying. I actually found a number of them, and they polish beautifully. Jet black with yellow or red areas of red or yellow. Appears to be agate but no bands. I'm sure my description is inadequate. Is there a way I can send a photo other than on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram? I'm old and don't do the social media stuff.
Without seeing it, I would guess that it is rhyolitic agate or jasper or on it's way to becoming either. See: Wonder Stone. Maybe? It's a start. Hardness and scratch test could be revealing. The area is known for a diversity of minerals.
@@aaronh1372 I knew my description was falling short. It is way too translucent to be "on its way" to becoming a more silicated something, and the lack of banding seems to keep it in the chert/jasper category, though I have seen banded chert/jasper as well. But I have never seen examples of the areas that I referred to as spots, but are not discreet, such as these. Any way to send you a photo?
I honestly struggle to identify my own rocks so I’m not sure how helpful I could be 😞. I would suggest contacting your local lapidary shop or rock club. Perhaps even a geologist in your area. Thanks for watching!

That’s bud, I appreciate the feedback!

Yup, I definitely picked up some duds 😢. Hopefully I’ll do better next week in west Texas🤞
@@spwinaustin Good luck!
