Season's Best: Stunning Agate & Jasper Varieties - Colorful Scenic and Moss Agates!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Wait till you see some of the agates and jaspers on this hunt! Moss agates and colorful rocks everywhere! My last hunt before the river spring flooding covers all my gravel. That's okay, plenty more places to find treasure and I must not forget, Drogon must be fed!
----------------------------------------------------------
Looking to learn about Yellowstone River agates? This is a publication from 1972 by a man named Paul Fry. This was the very first literature I read when I was learning about Montana agates. It is called "Meanderings of a Montana Rockhound" and it is priceless:

Here is another page with great information on Montana Agates by Jim Landon called "Montana Agate: The Best Catch on the Yellowstone River" :

For all those asking, I do not sell my rocks. As my supply permits, I do rock trades. So, if you have some nice specimens you think I would like to add to my collection, we can trade via any size flat rate post office box. Or, if you are an artist or have something else you think I would like, that's an option too! Please be patient as I have lots of emails and sometimes miss some. If you are wanting to purchase some Montana rocks, I have listed the Stores below of two fellow Montana Rockhounds KatyDidRocks and Theo Kellison, great friends of mine.
As far as places I rockhound, greater than 90% of the time I utilize PUBLIC fishing access spots on the Yellowstone river. KatyDidRocks has a great book out on all the places us Montana rockhounds like to go on the Lower Yellowstone River:

While you are there, check out her store! She has some fantastic Montana rocks for purchase.

Also, if you follow Theo Kellison on RUclips, another fantastic Montana Rockhound, he has an Etsy Store with rocks for sale as well:

Thanks for following and Rock On!
Best of luck on all your hounding adventures.

Haha, a Female Agate. Awesome hunt there MRM! Enjoyed it very much.
Some of the most beautiful coral I have ever seen.
The little shards of moss agate are awesome
Increíblemente fenomenal!!!😍👏👏👏👏 asombroso!!!🤩🤩🤩
So much color in those finds. Thx much for sharing and educating ❣️ Keep on Rockin ❣️
Could watch you as my morning unfolds everyday.
The agates you found were pretty and all but i think your jaspers were the stars of the day especially the super colourful ones and the one with hematite on it and the petrified wood always gets me 😀
Wow you find some amazing jasper agates and petrified wood
Ha ha I love that bot agate at 16:28 and what a great bunch of rocks you got into on this hunt.
Awesome finds
Wow, the green agathe and coral. Drogon is going to be happy.
Cool spot. Good light.
Again great finds and video. Pet da 🐕 for me
Wow on that first one
@ 2:08 wow awesome
MRM has a gift for finding awesome rocks
🎉
Those jasp-agates are so beautiful. And those dendrits! But the jasper with the fortification banding and the jasp-agate or two after were phenomenal! The dark milky agate right after was defintely a beauty and screaming for drogon! But my fav of the day was the two jaspers found right after. The green and red one and the pinky red one! absolutely gorgeous! I love the beautiful color jaspers you guys get on the yellowstone! The chert/jasper was cool and the pet wood too. When i look at the colors of jaspers you have, it reminds me of the hot water volcanic jets in the park, that are all green and bright yellow! And i love fossils and that coral was outstanding! And that green agate was spectacular! What a great hunt! Thank you so much for taking us along on a super hounding trip on the yellowstone! It was awesome!
That was one fine day, to the extreme! MRM, I think the MRG (Montana Rock God) was definitely along for this trip. This video definitely made me want to point my truck in the direction of the Yellowstone and just go....
you have sooo much fun.❤
I love love your videos I am wanting to go to Montana to rock hound thank you for your videos I learn alot....
Ahh man i really like thoughs Botryoidal bits , thanks so much. Soooo much Colour.
Thank you for a great video again it seems like rock hounding recharge your batteries relaxes you and At the same time wears you out but that’s the fun of it right . Lol
I don't know what chant and dance you do for the rock gods, but let me tell you, "IT WORKS!" I thought your last hunt was phenomenal but this one even beats that. As always, I loved all the jaspers, but those beautiful agates sure were a close second. The fish and female agates were too cute. The only problem I had was Sunrise. Sunrise? You realize there is no oxygen that early in the morning. 😳 You were great and thank you for sharing your magnificent hunt with us. Please be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒ P.S. Drogon is gonna love you.🤗
I have trouble sleeping when I know I'm going out rock hunting...I just get soooo excited!!! I often find myself watching the sun rise laughing to myself at how insane I must be ....😜
@@MontanaRockMom nope, not insane at all. I'm glad you are so passionate about it. So many people get stifeled when they love to do something. Go for it and don't let anyone gen in the way. Love, joy and laughter to you always.
Sangat indah batu jaspernya sobat,banyak sekali hamparan batu dipinggir sungai sungguh mudah mendapatkan nya
In all seriousness, that "female" agate is a phenomenal specimen. I've never seen botryoidal bubbles that large and round (I swear I'm not trying to sound smarmy). I wanted to see that one cleaned off. And I'm giving you a virtual high-five for the green moss agate and the coral. Those were amazing. And then there is that last monster agate - that one speaks for itself!
You out did your self with this Rockhounding adventure!
I forgot my popcorn and drool rags though😂😂
Wow and holy moly with every piece of material you picked up! 👌👌
Your photography work is getting superior also, enjoyed that ..
Thank you for the great hounding experience from my chair this morning...
You had me at " Out all day", that's how I Rockhound too ...
Enjoy your day! 😁
PS: I was telling Theo about what us old-timers do once in awhile on good gravel bars.
We would dig down about three feet of gravel and find the big pieces of material.
Heavy material sinks during high waters..( Our logic anyhow).
Have found some beautiful material that way in Montana and Oregon...
Usually do that when we get tired of walking..
Of course we bury the holes when done.👌
@@michaelvandyke6715 oh goodness now I'm going to start a digging addiction!!!!
@9:10. Awesome
I could stay out there all day!!!
really cool!!!
Thank you for the Sub MRM, my son and I really enjoy your videos.
@ 2:42 again wow
❤ Beautiful Rocks ❤
sangat menarik dan unik. seandainya di bentuk batu akik pasti sangat bagus
Amazing finds today! Such a wonderful variety of agates, jasper and pet wood and they are all just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your day and beauties with us Kim!✌️🤠
Such beautiful finds, it's just so thrilling to watch you find them.
Some of them were out of this world beautiful.
I always enjoy your videos.
I just put a little video up oh my recent finds.
Not as good as yours though.
Hi from New Zealand 😊😊
4:11 what?! Teepee canyon?!! Man you always find the best stuff!
Right!!! Totally a teepee canyon on the Yellowstone!!! I was like...what????!!! Are you kidding me!!! The Yellowstone is INSANE!!!!!
Dendrite heaven today. Some really unique finds. Pinks and creams are amongst my fave color combos. Thanks for the Hunt!😎👍🇺🇲
Man, one after another of awesome rocks! Those were unbelievable! 😊
Show 👏👏👏👏👍
Love going rock hounding with you. All beautiful finds, but the one with the sunglasses! Awesome!
I can’t believe how much really good agate and jasper you find every time you are out. Great hunt, killer agates, and your amazing commentary. Rock on rock mom!!😎
This video was long cause you found one after another great rock.
I love the red agates and the green jasper. I love the waterlines and the yellow jasper. I love the creamy one and the fishy ones. I love the spotty Montana too. Oh and don't forget how great the ones with stripes and fortifications are! Well, I guess I love 'em all. 😀❤
You have a great eye, MRM. You are some kinda great "picker". Thanks for getting out there and sharing you finds with us. We sure do love your videos!👍
it's crazy how many you choose that are native american stone tools, seeing a lot of grinding and polishing stones
Maybe I'm drawn to them because my mom was an anthropologist and I grew up around them. Who knows.
Well you certainly managed to come home with a pack full of skittles! So much colour! You can put that day in the win column for sure! Have a good one Kim, catch ya on the next one!
And dang I didn’t know you couldn’t do the river beds in summer, cause I was gonna come up there in a month.
Around 4th of July you'll be able to get back down on River bars. Maybe a couple weeks before that
Those were some of the most amazing rocks that I have ever seen on a rock hounding video, my goodness you scored. Brilliant for an almost end of season and waiting for the new gravel beds.
Wow Kim, it never ceases to amaze me how many and how different the jaspers are on that river, just stunning.
The red that you found for the shelf is an explosion of colour. The green just was exceptional as well, I had to stop the video where you cleaning the green one at 20.45 I think it was as there was another rock just underneath it to the left hand side which also caught my eye, it looked like a yellow one with a burgundy streak through it. Was that another jasper as well. The jaspers I have found so far have been more flow type jasper with pinks and reds, though I have a couple of nice small greens as well.
Another of your videos that just keeps us watching to see what other pieces you find, just a tad jealous.
Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
I would love to spend a day like that rockhounding. I would find different kinds of agates and jaspers here in Michigan. But it would still be fun. Soon as I can walk better I will be out there after my beauties. I so miss being out on a lakeshore rockhounding. You found some amazing finds in this video for sure. Thanks for sharing.
This is another one of those videos where I just want to say something about every piece, they were all that gorgeous. That piece you find at 5:45 looked like a mammoth tooth made of agate the way it was sitting there at first. And your shelf piece is bloody spectacular! Great day.
Love watching you rock hunt the Yellowstone. There were just tooo many rocks shown on the video... needed to make 2 or 3 posts from this group as you had some very awsome rocks that could have used a little more show and tell. Keep them coming and I will keep watching.
Well that was just epic from start to finish! Once again you really outdid yourself Kim! Love all of the finds so much!!! That red petrified wood chunk is absolutely amazing. and the green jaspers were really epic too. The jasper at 20:10 is probably my favorite, never seen one like that! Great haul of gemmy Montana agates too! What an epic day out there :)
Dude!!!!!! I totally put that jasper from my bag onto my display case! To me, it's the most outstanding, high quality, unique jasper I have found to date!!!
8:20 😍

I love watching all of your videos. I'm in Washington state so it's too far to go to Montana with gas prices. I wondered if you sell any of your rocks? I would love to buy some.
great the green one is emerald diamond contains gold
Man, those are some astounding finds. I think I would die if I found any one of those. If I could be so forward, would you be comfortable sharing a general location or nearby town name? I would love to find a spot like that the next time I'm in the area.
New sub! Liked
12:12 😍
Ha I’m number 7
☺♥
Moss AGATE.......
I would break my back if I was on that gravel bank. I would be like Steve Martin in the jerk. I don't need anything except this one rock and that's all and this piece of petrified wood and that's all I need. I don't need anything else...... I need this!
11:08🥸
where do I find those automatic spray bottles?
Amazon....
My God, this area is really a paradise for me, who loves stone, from agate and fossils of beautiful jasper woods and patterned agates, but alas, these are all just a dream because I am an Iranian.😍😍😍💎💎💎💎❤❤❤❤👑👑👑🌟🌟🌟🔥🔥🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈💜💜💜🖤🖤🖤🧡🧡🧡💙💙💙💜💜🐚🐚👍👍👍👏👏
