    So many seam agates, clear agates, even waterline agates. I agree on those pet. Wood pieces, you better go back and get that beautiful big one that is heavy. Oh I must tell I have watched 4 of your hunts. I have enjoyed each one. Thank you for sharing with us. I must say I am a little shocked every time you throw a rock down, it seems that you throw it on a rock. I see that a lot of men do that. Maybe the next person who picks it up would like it more without the cracks. I just jump when I hear them hit. 😮😅😊

      Thanks for warching oregon is such a fun place for a rockhound! Agates are super hard. If they get cracked that easy they already had some cracks probably. I'll be more careful in the future. I generally just drop them. Not really throwing them.

    I am a flora and fauna type of a Nana. When I heard there was a fire in that area, the first thing I looked for was what grasses are growing there and if the area needs rehabbed. Those stones could be collected in bulk to help pay for the native grasses, plants and trees to be put in after taking out the stuff that sucks~

    Generally the red rind’s are good signs my dad and I say when in doubt slab it out and yes that one is a pseudomorph after barite or calcite and the clear one can be highly UV reacting

    • @itslattice4195

      Yeah the idea is definitely to hold out for more unique ones that are locality specific. Usually hoping for a full banded pattern or colorful inclusions. A lot of the agate localities around here have similar quartz dominant ones. I sometimes keep the hollow ones with crystal points.

I am still watching the video lol. I have to keep pausing and go do something. The other green one by the buzz nest is quartzite. Nothing too special inside. I think a lot of the green ones are.
