Happy Hounding!
I think it would be really cool to do a rock hounding video like this. Then show us the tumble progress on the rocks you pick up. It would take a long time to make. But man... That video would be cool
Totally agree.... we need to see the finished product 😂😂
Good idea! I’ll put it on my list!
You should get a uv light from Way Too Cool. Really nice people and when you see your rocks in the dark, it's a whole different kind of adventure!! Tell William Erin said "hi". Seriously, some of the rocks have fluorescent properties!!
For sure but, other than that rock discovered in Minnesota or one of the Dakota, can't remember, nit many rocks actually light up with UV. I have a nice handheld UV flashlight made by UV Beast. I take it everywhere rockhounding, here in Montana, and have never found a rock that reacts with any significant wow factor
@@koreyhayden1368 good to know!
Oh that’s awesome! I will definitely look into that!
What is the purple mineral on the last rock you found, any ideas? I do wish I lived up there!! I'd be at the lakes every single day! I do the same thing in cornfields and creeks, small rivers and even peoples rock landscapes...only* when it's a more public place or I know them;) Ive been collecting here in Southern Indiana, where I do get a lot of the same rocks, for about the last 8+ years pretty seriously. It drives my fiancee a lil crazy having rocks everywhere but I've gotten better at being able to get rid of common things that I have multiples of over the years bc you learn more & more as you go & when you first start out you're likely to keep nearly Everything!lol Then as you go along, learn, keep exploring and you find that half your collection is pretty common stuff and you're left wondering "Why did I keep all this??"!lol Anyways it's a process. I'm always trying to go through and keep my collection as unique as I can for my region down here. I'm going to go back to school here soon I'm hoping. I figured a lot of the RUclipsrs doing rock videos must be in school and I was curious what everybody's major is??? Geology? My guess... gemology...I majored in anthropology but I unfortunately only lasted a year in college at the time. I'm so ready to go BK! I Have To!
Another thing I still find strange is what really makes an agate?!lol it has bands*, etc. Down here I question a lot of things whether they're an agate or not. So confusing and debatable. Keep at it, I love to see what all you find bc I'm seeing some like things which is always cool!
The purple could have been amethyst! I love hearing about your rockhounding adventures! It’s such a great hobby!
Hey Ariel. Here's a test for you to test out, imagine the real natural process but in a tumbler?
Just a bunch of rocks, some broken pieces of glass and just sand as grit?
NO ceramics, no grits, just natural stuff! (maby some dishsoap).
Test it out and i'll sub!
That’s a great idea! I’ll add it to my list!
Zeolites in amygdaloidal rhyolite....cool.
You found some cool rocks! I really like watching all you rock finding and tumbling RUclipsrs. I have a 17lb tumbler and I've been tumbling maybe 4 months or so now. Every tumble I have tumbled one softball size rock in each batch and now I have a few giant highly polished chunks. So much fun and hopeful expectations. Not a day goes by that I don't have a pile of rocks in my pockets. I am carving some wooden bowls now so that I can send my daughter some polished rocks with some nice bowls to display them from the property she grew up in to give her good feelings from home.
That is so awesome! Tumbling and hounding are such great hobbies!
I really wanna go rock hounding but I live in Virginia, and every place I go there’s NO ROCKS unless it’s a driveway. Anyone in Virginia with some tips?
Do you ever accept rocks as a gift? I'd love to give you a fan give of some small rocks from my collection from here in BC, Canada. :)
Would that be bumblebee Jasper? @ 3:30
Your videos are great! I learn so much. The excitement in your voice is genuine. I have rocks in my tumbler and the belt broke. Perfect time for me to watch how easy it looks to change a belt. I didn't know Lor-tone was out of business. Should be tumbling again as soon as the belt shows up.
We were just up there in July and hauled home so many agates and cool rocks! Can you recommend any books for mineral/rock identification?
So, what exactly makes Jasper, Jasper? I've seen a lot of rocks labeled Jasper and about the only thing I can see that's common is that they sort of a bit, fake, or, plastic, is th eonly way I can think to describe them. But then somethign else gets labelled Jasper and it doesn't look anything like the others. So, I'm very confused. Also, are all translucent/transparent rocks Agates?
You should come to me I have like 1000 roock
i found a kimberlite on lake superior shoreline befor (i wont say exact spot cause i wanna go back there to look for diamonds at night with black light)
Some amazing finds here Ariel! The big yellow rock is beautiful. It reminds me of Bumblebee Jasper! 💛
Right! That’s what I thought!
Love the what looks to be a nice piece of prehnite at 4:00, thanks for the video.
2:00 I’ve got a really tiny one of those
Some great rocks. I would love get up there someday.
It’s really a great adventure! You definitely should if you’re able!
Niceeee
What a great spot and lovely rock. Quite a wonderful selection. Keep having fun and keep your socks dry.😊
Haha thank you! Will do! 😆
Thanks for the show !! I’m just now getting into agate hunting on the Mississippi River her in Missouri !
Oh love it! I hope you find some good ones!
Lake Superior really dose rock! Lucky we live close😊
Right! The uniqueness of all the rocks there really is incredible!
❤ great video ❤
Thank you so much!
That red stuff that looks like red basalt, is ryholite. Basalt and ryholite are the 2 host rocks of agate. The other one that you said agate in basalt, I think is banded calcite. That is really common along the north shore and is confused a lot with agate.
Oh awesome! Thank you for clarifying!
@AgateAriel you are welcome! Ryholite is red to brown due to higher iron concentration. Basalt is blue to grey due to less iron concentration.
I look forward to your videos!
Yay! Thank you!
1:50 looks like the lake already tumbled it all by itself!
Great finds! Again thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Wow! You had awesome luck! So many cool rocks! And you are the absolute queen of the littles! Those jaspers were amazing and you found so many interesting and cool finds! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!! I love all rocks big and small! 😊
Shes a joy to watch👍🤗
Thank you!
