- KINGSLEY NORTH -
Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It's the best price I have found. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.

Some observations.
All of the fossils you're finding are from the Hudson Bay region and were brought down by glacial ice.
Your blue chalcedony was likely encased in dolomite which is why it didn't bubble vigorously. However, that really reminds me of something you'd find in the desert southwest, not along the shores of Lake Superior.
Your red "mystery rock" at 11:30 could be several things, but very likely something silicified. Would have to look at it in person to hazard any reasonable guess.
Thanks, Paul. It's always nice to have an actual geologist checking our work!
I knew the fossils weren't from right there since there's no limestone bedrock like in Lake Huron near me. I had no idea they came all the way from Hudson Bay though. That's a fun fact!
Thanks for the guess on the dolomite. It looked like sandstone or limestone to me. I wasn't aware that dolomite doesn't react strongly to acid. The only dolomite I'm really familiar with is Kona dolomite from Marquette.
That mystery rock is the number one rock I'd like to have identified. I doubt there's a name for it since no one has every told me one, but there should be. It's very recognizable and very common in the eastern U.P. Everyone I go up there with picks a lot of them up, wondering if they're agates. They're clearly not agates, but they have some translucency to them that really grabs your attention. They also have several layers of what I assume are different minerals.
@@MichiganRocksWe'll take a look at em in a few weeks.
@@captpaul8827 I'm looking forward to that.
The agate at 20:15 is an agate 😊
Pretty banding on that red pebble.
I'm constantly wanting to say: "stop, a little to the left (or right), up a little, THAT one, what's THAT rock? " vicarious rock hounding, with you, is a blast. 😊 ThankYou ❤🎉❤
I have thought about doing a live video, but I don't think I'd make it ten feet down the beach! There's also no cell reception in this whole area.
I'm glad you love rocks and not just agates. I cross paths with so many people looking fire just agates. They miss so many other incredible rocks.
I'd have a pretty sad day if I only looked at agates. Agates are the big prize up there, but there's nothing wrong with a nice piece of unakite, epidote, banded iron, etc.
@@MichiganRocks exactly!
We see the other rocks, admire than move on. Trust me...we don't miss anything
@@MichiganRocks I could never look for just agates. Even up here, there's way more to see than just agates. 😊
Michigan the land God kissed with all goodness… happy rock hunting
I like that! A big smooch from God.
Wow! That is a colorful beach right now! Gorgeous rocks you are finding!
Looks better when it's wet. It was nice to be able to hunt up on the beach since is was so rough that day.
I like the epidote also. That was a nice one about 19+min in. You both found some nice little agates. Love that area up there for hunting
I never get tired of seeing a nice chunk of epidote or unakite.
You Two have truly have become friends, Rob, your doing a great job . Your show has improved a lot, I love your family bonding. Keep it up, and keep on tumbling. 👍🏼
It's good to see you and Sam out looking for rocks again. Thanks for the video. Thanks for sharing your trip.
Wow, all those agates look really cool! That monarch butterfly was really pretty. 😍🥰😇👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sam saved a few monarchs that were getting splashed by the waves.
Nice to hear the sounds of the shoreline again.
Really beautiful agates and other stones! I do enjoy seeing you back in your home state finding gorgeous rocks!
Trips are always fun, but I always enjoy getting home too. I love where I live.
Thank you for showing us that there are so many beautiful rocks out there 😊
Is that a quote from another rock lover?
@MichiganRocks Yes! Rocks are so so beautiful ! Will keep watching your channel for some amazing finds 😃
3:12 looove the half & half
4:45 😍
7:44 looks like a brick wall ❤
9:50 cool stripey guy
15:40 that’s a beauty
20:45 wow!
Gotta love the stripey ones!
I am making my first trip to lake Superior in a week I've never been there in the summer, I am so excited to see what I can find, great video, really looking forward to see if I can find my first agate, ❤
Good luck!
I will take all the Rocks you both throw back. That Lake has millions of outstanding Rocks.
I left three of them by that big pine tree for you.
@@MichiganRocks I can’t trek that Terrain hehehe.
Love all the “pre-tumbled” rocks.
Wow, stunning stuff 🎉
Loving all these different locations and being able to see what you can find wherever you go… awesome video brother
Thanks!
I love seeing and learning about all the different types of rocks you find! Congrats! Super cool host agate find!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the fact that you appreciate pretty wet rocks ❤️
Go to Lake Superior for agates. The other stones you guys found were worth the trip. The one with brickwork was awesome. The fossils and other rocks were much more interesting than those tiny "maggates."😁
You're right. Agates are our favorites up there, but there are so many other beautiful rocks that you're not going to go home disappointed.
Awesome Rob!!!!!!! Great work guys
Thanks for your videos. I was quite the rock hound in my youth, and your informative and fun escapades are luring me back to the hobby. Best from California!
I'm glad you're getting back into it. You have some interesting stuff in California. I'd love to go to find Lavic Jasper sometime.
I've only been in eastern Michigan once in my life, in mid-1960's, a trip to see my mother's 2nd cousins. Didn't know anything about Lake Superior Agates at that time, I've learned quite a bit since those long ago days. By the time the early 1970's came around, I had read articles in The Lapidary Journal, Rock & Gem, and least another non-technical magazine that I could understand w/o degrees in chemistry and geology. On a trip to Wisconsin, I located a rock shop and bought a bag of LSA. Cut a few pieces which have red banding and eyes. Beautiful stones.
I'll bet you have found some interesting stones along those shores. Wherever I've traveled throughout the U.S. and eastern Canada I've always picked up stones: landscape stones alongside motels/hotels, gravel side-roads where I might have pulled over to take a break or eat a bite. Dug by fingers in the dirt, interesting looking stones. Can only guess what the mineral make-up is of these stones.
Glad I've found your YT channel and will happily follow as you find stones to 'share'.
Lakers are some of my favorite rocks.
Awesome, greetings from Finland 😇
Hey, that's awesome that I have Finnish viewers. There are a lot of people in the Upper Peninsula of Finnish descent.
@@MichiganRocks That is super to hear ✌️
Loosing blood to the mosquitoes… 😂😂. Sam is very good at finding agates. Nice!
I should get a blood donor pin or something.
Sam just had some amazing luck! He found quite a few really awesome agates! And you had a few too, but not as many as Sam found! There were quite a few not agates but were really cool and interesting looking rocks! The whole beach was covered in all different colors and types of beautiful rocks! I'm so used to our beaches and lakes here in Oregon, where 95% of the rocks are basalt so all you see is ugly dark grey to black rocks. Your beach is just an array of beautiful colors and patterns and not hardly a plain basalt rock out there! It's gorgeous! And I know the vast majority of them are granite, but they sure are a lovely granite! And they all are just so colorful! So it's no wonder that even your agates are that beautiful red! Great hunting, even though it was cold and wet, I'm sure the finds kind of made up for it, at least for Sam anyways! And that weird Rick Sam found and cut, was just strange! And it even has a weird reaction to the acid! I've never seen anything like that before! I have no idea! Thanks for sharing!
The variety of rocks we have is just amazing. I have been to beaches where most of the rocks are the same color and it's just not as much fun. Cold and wet is just one of the things you have to deal with in the U.P. It's not a place for wimps. The great rocks make up for it.
Sam is not just lucky. He consistently finds more than I do. I think he's just more focused than I am, plus he has younger eyes. He deserves credit for his skills.
Go Sam... GOOOOOOooo
You could root for me just a little bit.
We’ll take the rainy cold too!
Nothing worse than those flies.
Awsome episode!!!!!!
I have a son named Sam. We also love rockhounding. He's about your Sam's age.
Sam isn't my son, though. He's my neighbor. He's lived across the road almost his whole life, so I've known him like he was my son.
Cool video, thanks for sharing with us
Those flies are no joke! Was up there a few weeks ago and got ate alive at vermilion point!
Do you have a bug suit? I carry mesh pants and shirt with me whenever I'm up there in the summer. I have the one I use listed in my Amazon storefront in the description. It's not perfect, but it keeps most of them from biting. Where the mesh touches your skin, they can still get you.
@@MichiganRocks No I don’t unfortunately. I had on shorts and tshirt with no bug spray lol. I later used about a half can of deep woods off but it didn’t seem to help much lol
@@KFairchild77 What we call "Off" the flies call "seasoning".
@@MichiganRocks I believe it!
I'm no expert but I'd call that one at 19:58 an agate! Great finds!
It's close, but those bands just weren't as sharp as agates usually are. Nice rock either way.
If I admit that, I'll have to declassify all the ones I've found just like it. hehe.
@@MichiganRocks they dont have to be crisp, the "lines" can be made of tiny tiny individual dots as well, making the lines look more diffuse. Check if its translucent and test the hardness with a little knife. Really looks like lower grade agate to me.
Y'all found some really cool different rocks this time. I know how you feel about the mosquitos! They are some vicious insects.
Keep the videos coming!
Wow u got some amazing finds today.
Yep, it was a good day.
Blood donations, those mosquitos are evil. Great finds. Thanks for braving Michigan's crazy weather.
They're just thick in the woods up there. It's enough to just about drive you crazy. After getting in the Jeep, we spend the next ten minutes rolling the windows up and down and smacking them.
Great job Sam good agate finds. Learning alot here thanks guys
nice stones
You both found some really nice agates and some cool other rocks.
The rock at 20:00 is absolutely an agate. Nice find!
Probably, but it was weird how the bands weren't as crisp as usual.
🙋♀️❤ so many colors on this beach!
I think heaven is looking for rocks in the UP of Michigan! I have so many rocks decorating my yard in SC, now this is a pudding stone, a Petosky stone, and here's an agate! Love your channel, almost as good as being there.
Thanks, Mary. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
Those are beautiful rocks even if they aren't agates I also love Jasper myself
Nice to see you back on your own turf again or should I say surf ! And nice to see Sam again. The lines and divisions on the rock at 7:41 almost remind me of a stone wall. Beautiful agates !!!
Surf _and_ turf! That brick-like rock was pretty cool. If the pattern had been smaller, I might have kept it. A big pattern like that disappears when you cut it into crosses or pendants or something.
I love that Lake Superior!
Thanks for the video Rob!
Rob for president 🇺🇸❤️
President of what??? President of rock collectors? Do you want to me under my rule?
Just beautiful places to search calming in the waves here in England it’s been more rain than sun this summer!
We've had a really nice summer here. Pretty sunny and not too hot.
I think you should just give a name to the mystery rock and we can all start calling it that
I don't think I have the authority to do that. I'm hoping to meet up with a geologist one of these days who can help me with a proper identification.
I just love banded churt so pretty
Lake Huron banded chert tends to be even better than Lake Superior banded chert. Check this one out: ruclips.net/user/shortsjxLKJeropwI?feature=share
“Not my favorite colors together.” 🤣
I need that great piece of driftwood for my yard!😍
I loved the grain in that stump. I wonder how many people understood my joke about the bad color combination in that rock? There are a lot of people from outside of Michigan who watch.
that one you put in acid would make some really cool pendants.
Nice.
I enjoyed almost every minute of this video. Up until Sam went to stash the rocks by the tree. his actions and the look of the day made me itch and scratch all over. I don't have one mosquito in my house, but I'd swear they were carrying me away as the video ended.
🙂🤣😂
That was absolutely miserable. The mosquitos are just horrible in the woods. We even had a few on the beaches the days we were there. Mosquitos are usually not a problem on the beach.
The mosquitos were just as bad at our campsite. We had a Thermacell that helped. We knew we weren't going to get a shower for four days, so neither of us really wanted to put on a lot of bug spray. The second night, we both headed to our tents at 8:00 because of the bugs.
On the third night, we moved to the mouth of the Two Hearted River campground and there were no bugs at all.
Beautiful. Drove 9 hours up there last weekend for Agates and yooperlites ✌ I need better eyes , or glasses tho
I know what you mean. I usually don't wear my reading glasses, but sometimes I do. It's hard to tell which way I should go.
Awesome finds. I was also drooling over all the black sands on that first beech.
I was on the second beach with Wild Kyle last week and we walked all the way to Muskallonge Lake State Park. We saw a guy with a Gold Cube set up there. He was finding some gold, but hadn't done his final clean out to see just how much.
@@MichiganRocks That is where I go😁
I second every other good comments. I love Lake Superior… after Lake Michigan.
I have only picked rocks in Lakes Superior, Huron, and Michigan. I'd rank them in that order. I think Lake Superior has the highest percentage of beautiful rocks, great variety, and you can find agates. I like Lake Huron for the puddingstones and Petoskey Stones. The reason I rank Lake Michigan last is that it seems to be more picked over. You can find Petoskeys, puddingstone, and agates in Lake Michigan, but agates and puddingstones are more rare there. Honestly, I haven't hunted Lake Michigan as much as the other two, so I might just not have enough experience to know how good it is.
@@MichiganRocks as for rocks, Michigan is tough for us Michiganders. The eastern shores are quit sandy. And the rocky areas are picked over. Superior is Superior, enough said. I enjoyed a trip last Fall to Hoeft State Park and liked it quite a bit. I even found one of your rejected Puddingstones. The two places I went to on Lake Erie was sandy. Lake Ontario (Toronto) was sandy.
@@I_wish_I_knew_something I really want to get to Lake Ontario and Lake Erie someday, just to be able to say that I've hunted all the Great Lakes.
Oh wow! Nice finds.
Sam is a good rock hunter.
Yes he is.
The gnice was nice.
Oh! Your fingers do that because you have Reynauds phenomenon!
Yes, I know.
We get alot of green jasper in OR like the unknown green rock. One of my favorites. Also it would have been cool to see the rock with the pink stripes cut. Manganese?
I'm not sure what makes those pinks stripes. I left that one on the beach, so there won't be any cutting pictures.
Best way to hunt.Maybe a lot warmer though
Like we both agreed in the video, rain and cold is better than flies.
@@MichiganRocks Better than flies and mosquitoes👍
I cannot believe it is 50 degrees and it is the middle of June. It has already been 100 degrees here in South Texas. Did Sam miss you?
You never know what to expect in the U.P. We were there for four days and it was cold the whole time.
I'm not sure what you mean about Sam missing me. Do you mean when I was in Montana? I don't think he missed me. He came over to check his tumbler barrels while I was gone. Nancy was here, so I kept the tumblers running.
I love that part of the up. You guys did well😊
I love that area too. It's not as picturesque as the western U.P. but I love how remote it is. The rocks there are great too.
@@MichiganRocks It’s all good up there I am going up this weekend!
Yes! Been waiting for you to get back to the mitten
Did you enjoy the videos from my trip? One of the reasons I did that is because a lot of people suggested it when I asked for suggestions for my channel around Christmas time. I worry that I'm getting in a rut with videos that are all very similar. The videos from my trip did okay, but didn't get any more views that my Michigan videos do.
@@MichiganRocks I did watch and enjoyed them, Katy and Theo are great. There is just something better, to me, about the water and the waves and the fact that I am a Lake MI hound and hope to get to superior in the coming years. Pier cove is where I usually hunt and hit Antrim creek when I visit family.
@@Kyle.Wynsma Thanks for the feedback. I think maybe that's how other people felt too.
Awesome video again Sir- and I just have to say, that green and white rock was a star lol GO GREEN GO WHITE. Cheers
I left that one on the beach for you. Go get it!
Like all the colors and strpes/patterns on stones. A nice but cold trip it looked like.
It was pretty cold and wet for the four days we were there. Before Sam started coming with me, I'd just watch the weather and go when it looked like it was going to be nice. Since Sam started coming, we have to go after school gets out and now that Sam has a job, he has to ask for time off in advance. That makes things a little more unpredictable and exciting!
@@MichiganRocks Ok, it is very nice of you to take this neighboors young rock-loving boy with you, but, it is also nice to have company even though he finds more Agats then you That I think is because of his eyes, the youth have better eyesight then we have after fifty sixty, unfortunately. Very nice that you took time to explain too. Better luck next time, must be exciting to go and wondering about what you will find. I had loved it and I am stone-crazy, but nothing special here, but, I find sometimes lovely rocks or old "crafted" rocks because I am digging in my garden. So I have found tools from the stoneage etc. sometimes special things. 🙏👍
@@kastah I have never found any artifacts. That would be a thrill.
❤❤❤
It'g great watching ur videos. Looks like youve had a grand adventures this spring. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me to rock hound
I've had a great spring and summer. My trip was fun, but I still love Michigan.
IT IS A SKIP ATOM. I am going far out on a limb here, but I believe 99% of Skippers are some variation of brown, so long as they are banded. I don't know why that seems to be, but I do have one Blue that is a Skipper. It's the only exception. I REALLY love the Brown Paint of that one. That is an EXCEPTIONAL FIND in any size. I call them Dinosaur Teeth Agates because they remind me of T-REX teeth. Also one of the most optical illusional of LSA's . If you notice when you get them wet they seem 3-dimensionally layered. I sometimes think that it's the result of possibly cooling faster than normal quartzy agates. I think I think too much about the formation of the Lake Superior Agate sometimes. 😄
Thanks for the confirmation. Skip an atom is one I haven't quite figured out yet.
I'm brand new to your channel - looking forward to watching! I'm from Nebraska so haven't been to Michigan yet, but it's definitely on my list!
It's a beautiful state.
These are rocks thousands and thousands and thousands of rocks and no two are alike only GOD could do that. Isn't HE amazing.
Yes, he sure is.
Thanks
I know I'm too late to say this, but be careful about frostbite! I wouldn't want my favorite rock guy to not be able to rockhound!
I don't think it's possible to get frostbite in almost 50° weather. I have something called Raynaud's Syndrome that causes my fingers to turn white when they get cold. I haven't been officially diagnosed, but it's clearly what I have. At least one of my sisters also has it.
@@MichiganRocks waterproof gloves 🙏
@@MichiganRocksI wondered if you might have Raynauds. Your poor fingers were looking pretty pale.
@@MichiganRocksmy sister has Raynauds too.
Whenever we are out in the cold, and her hands turn white, I just want to warm them up, but they feel warm.
@@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976 It doesn't bother me too much. I don't like it, but there are worse problems I could have.
Dang it I gotta get out there
That's a good dad. Letting the boy win like that. I do that once in a while myself. ; )
Hopefully I'm a good dad, but Sam isn't my son. My son is older and has a full-time job so he doesn't have much time for rock hunting. Sam is my neighbor who I've known for his whole life. He's kind of like my replacement son.
@@MichiganRocks well, ya did good just the same!!
Rob, those fingers are called Raynaud's!
Yes, I know. Thanks though.
46! It was 114 here yesterday.
Fossil!
If you want jasper you're welcome to rockhound my back garden, it's full of the stuff.
You found some lovely stripey rocks.
I love the sound of the waves. TFS ❤️🏏🎸
This was on June 13. We were there for four days and it never got much warmer the whole time.
@@MichiganRocks Envious
Nice rocks!!!
I am a wee bit of a rock hound. I couldn't tell you the names of half the rocks I find. Its like "Oh! Look at the pretty!" Lol! I am more of a fossil and artifact hunter. I met WILDKYLE the other day down here in southern Mi. I have watched all his videos and always thought, I would like to meet that young man. I was in one of our local stores and was checking out when to my disbelief, he walked in to the store. Very awesome young man! He got me started watching your videos. You find some very interesting rocks and fossils. Thanks for sharing.
Kyle is great. It's quite a coincidence to run into him in a store like that. We have run into people on beaches who recognized both of us, but that's a lot more likely.
@@MichiganRocks It was so awesome!
Looks like you have Raynaud's syndrome too. Love the way our fingers and toes turn white. ❤️
Yeah, it's awesome.
thumbnail looks like sushi! great rocks & agates you found there - some are sort of like combo rocks
I didn't think of sushi when looking at the thumbnail, but I suppose it sort of kind of looks like it, maybe.
Cold and wet....that's how it is here now, and our nephews are doing their fishing derby today! However, they have both aged enough, that I believe they will let their sons do the fishing, and they will do the beer drinking!! On Superior....I'm not jealous...(I am a liar!) YEEHAW on the wave action...there will be changes...we like that. you fellas found some nice stuff! That one looked like a morel mushroom! Hasn't Sam just become an agate magnet! And Agnat! lol...Has anyone found any of your planted rocks?? Way cool!
I think all of my stone stashes have been found and reported to me. I always share the pictures in community posts.
@@MichiganRocks I don't do most social media stuff...this is as far as I go. VERY cool people are finding it tho!
@@LadyYoop The community posts are on RUclips. You can see them under the "Community" tab. They should also show up on the homepage when they're new.
@@MichiganRocks That's beyond my brain power, but thanks.
Love the drift wood!!!
It wouldn't' fit in my bucket.
@@MichiganRocks 🤣🤣🤣 oh well!
How did I get unsubscribed from your channel? Had family here lately. Then I thought I hadn't seen a notification from Michigan Rocks in a while. Sorry Rob. Subscribed again. You guys found some great rocks. 😊
I don't know how that would happen. I would guess that you somehow hit the button by mistake. I'm glad you're back.
thanks for entertaining me with all these colours love rock or fossil hunting or anything weird and rare from mountains and beaches and where ever my electric car takes me or bike motorcycle electric
I don't think you should probably go here. I doubt there are any charging stations close by. I have to always remember to fill up with gas while I have the chance so I don't get stuck down one of the long trails without enough.
Sam is a tresure. Sweet guy
He's a good rock hunting buddy.
Okay, I'm drooling 🙂 Lake Superior + rocks = heaven!! New sub here. Great video - thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
Really beautiful agates, so cool to just find them by eye like that. Wet rocks are much easier to see at least, worth braving the rain certainly. Making the best of some inclement weather for sure haha. Awesome episode.
Thanks!
I'm a Duluth MN native. I thought you would prowl around Thompsonite Beach, south of Grand Marais. I've never been and want to make the trip up there, myself. Thanks for the fun videos!
It's not really that far from Duluth, is it? I drove as far as Beaver Bay this spring. I didn't have time to go much further.
Ever get a glimps of the Lake Monster????
Uh, no.
Sam knocked it out of the ballpark finding agates. Good hunt no doubt.
Yep, he's a great agate hunter.
I would much rather rockhound and dig for crystand in 47° temperature vs 99° temperature like I did today. I found out when I got home that the heat index today in my city was about a 100°.😰 But I still manage to come home with a bunch of crystals.😁
I mostly agree. One thing about hunting on the water though is that you can always jump in if you get too hot.
Nice finds, and its the perfect type of weather to go hunting in.
So many beautiful stones, I reckon if you dig down into the stobes, you would find tiny Agates.
A warmer drizzle would have been a little better than the weather we had. A dead calm, 65° day would have been welcome too.
@@MichiganRocks we have had awful weather.
So much rain, and all of our beaches are covered in wood.
When I saw the giant logs on your beach, that's what ours are like after the cyclone.
I made a video of it.
@@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976 There are always huge logs on the beaches up there. It seems like they get more logs on the beach there than we do here on Lake Huron. Lake Superior is bigger, but Lake Huron is huge too.
Good thing you’re wearing cammo so the agates don’t see you coming! 😂😂😂
You've gotta sneak up on them!
Yeah Grand Marais is in MN and MI but I looked up where other videos show you so I can get closer to the beaches you are on. You are welcomed back anytime
I have never been to Grand Marais, MN, although I have hunted rocks in Minnesota a few times.
@MichiganRocks I have seen that and I like the episodes with agate dad and 99 rockhounding! I enjoy your videos very much!
@@hippieporium7836 Oh, I guess you're keeping up with the videos. I never know.
You have me hooked on the striped ones. The ones that are mixed mediums make me so curious! I doubt I will ever see rocks like you guys walk over out here in Washington, but ... I always have to look at the rocks.
We do have some good rocks here. I'd love to get out to Washington or Oregon sometime though because you have some great rocks out there too.
We went up to Deception Pass one time, and that was a GRAND place - - my outlook comes from growing up on a very boring beach (in my opinion, but I know many who think it is grand) ... I have not done any serious rockhounding, but maybe this summer. Anyway, I grew up on the Washington side of the Columbia River. Oregon's beaches were very interesting to me when I was growing up, but I hardly ever saw it. Now, we are in Eastern Washington and have enough rocks on the ranch to keep us busy just moving them out of the way! Live is just a series of todays, with some "maybe tomorrow" moments, but we have been very blessed@@MichiganRocks
You guys found very nice gems that day. I've been hunting lake superior agates for 40 years. I don't get to get to those secluded beaches you are able to get to. But I have found some awesome agates at vermilion. That is my stomping grounds. I would love to somehow show you some pics of my nicer ones. Is there anyway to do that? I really love watching your channel! You do a fabulous job!
Could you send them through Instagram? My Instagram address is in the description of all of my videos.
