- in this one, we head to the Blue Forest in Wyoming to dig for phenomenal petrified wood! This amazing site is home to a one of a kind specimen, petrified wood that is coated in blue chalcedony and agate, as well as wood that even agatizes into perfect blue limb casts! It is INCREDIBLE material! Today I am joined by Montana Rock Mom and World of Rockhounds, and we found some amazing material! The cherry on top however, was the gigantic agatized log that i found completely covered in royal blue botryoidal agate! Truly a once in a lifetime find that I still can not wrap my hear around! I hope you all enjoy this insane day, and I will have another one out very soon! We have several more videos coming from this Wyoming trip and you DO NOT want to miss the next ones!

Holy crap! That little one you found and prep'd has bot bark. That's freaking awesome! Petrified wood is just so fascinating and beautiful
I can't believe how beautiful the blue is, well done on getting your log put back together... What a wonderful specimen ❤
I love that you all are getting together
F'n find of the century!!!! I have been obsessed lately with blue lace agates, moss agates and chalcedony. I used to think they were boring. What was I thinking? Just a little jelly.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤..USA is a country build on volcanic materials and from that we get agates..thundereggs..geodes etc..😮right. America??? I'm from Poland..😢
Living by our beautiful agate filled lake Superior ❤😮
That was a spectacular find! A huge limb covered in blue! Absolutely gorgeous along with all of your other finds!
Awesome to see You all headed further out of your areas..
You all did great.
I know Kyle has been waiting for this trip for a while..
Great haul by all ... That blue really pops!
Dang...all great finds, but I really can't wait to see how you display that blue chalcedony log 😮 What a day!
WOW!!! Absolutely JEALOUS!!! But so happy for you! That is an AWESOME FIND!!! All your finds are super freaking cool!
That was a great trip lol 🙌👍
* Never dreamed that you would find such Stunning Multiple Blues.. Glad you took a Shade with you.. It was magnificent..
Wow! That log is amazing! And your little stick is gorgeous too! My goodness that blue is so vibrant and so unexpected! Its gorgeous and just absolutely insane! Wow Theo! What a gorgeous trip maker that log is! Simply amazing! Thanks so much for sharing Theo!

Petrified wood is really beautiful texture, Very nice finds.
Thanks for sharing !!
that split specimen deserve their own custom standee.
Awesome finds
All I can say is WOW!!! Congrats on finding such beautiful blues!
😍incredible finds
I have some awesome pieces of blue forest petrified wood. Lots of blue. But NOT that BLUE. That’s incredible. As a rockhound, I’d never sell it. If I found it, I’d be in 7th heaven. You all scored. Congrats
Wow! Amazing video! I love that you three got to meet up! Now I have a new location to add to my bucket list! That blue is incredible! The giant one leaves me without words! I definitely agree, leave the limb in the matrix makes that color just pop! Thanks for sharing!
Great to see you guys out hounding together!! Thanks for sharing your trip with us!
I've never seen this blue agate before, thank you for showing it. Loved the clean up at the end... gorgeous finished pieces!
Wow! Congrats Theo that's gorgeous and the limb too! Great finds on the ground too. Way to go!
Beautiful finds. ❤😊❤
💙💙💙 2 foot BLUE log from the Rock GODS...a find of a lifetime... a dig of a lifetime...100 plus degrees Wyoming desert thank you for letting us pass through with a pulse.. so we may return again next year...❤ 🫀🚑 I could stare at those blues every single day and it would bring a smile to my face. Love to you guys @theokellison and Kyle @worldofrockhounds
Theo I am so happy for you. You are such an inspiration for the newbies in the rock, hounding world, and for the experience with several years behind them. Thank you for doing these videos, your excitement, your enthusiasm, and your knowledge is so appreciated!
Awesome stuff man thanks for sharing this.
Oh my!! Those are stunning pieces!! Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤
That log is insane! Puts my couple little limb casts to shame and the depth of that blue color... just stunning!
I like how calcite just glows in light that is like a slight purplish blue I like the rich blue of calcite
We have a ton of the stuff people discard too. Totally agree there is still so much beauty in the pieces that are not actually petrified wood material!
Wow, that is insane 😮
Gorgeous!!
Gorgeous find!
Love it!! Love it!! Love it!! ❤
The botryoidal areas are super cool, what a magnificent piece....I'm envious.
Wow thanks for sharing
WOW, LOVE YOUR FINDS!!!
Fricken outstanding that big peice is just stunning good finds I love the blue forest it is some of my favorite pet wood just beautiful ❤️

Beautiful find!
Omg! Brings back memories, my hubby and I have been there twice! ❤❤
You've done it again! A BIG beautiful piece. A group effort. I'm glad you finally brought some shade. If it were me it would be, cut, cut, cut, bit I don't do specimens. What a great group of rock nerds. All the rocks are beautiful and so are the people. Thanks for sharing.😊😀😁
Absolutely stunning Wow!❤
Very beautiful finds thanks for beautiful sharing 😊
Absolutely Love Blue Crystals esp Blue Petrified Wood-Wowser🥰‼️
Wow! What amazing finds👍
Amazing!
Wow! I kno
W ive daid this before but you have soooooo much patience and attention to detail! These specimens could never have been so awesome if anyone else had prepped them! FANTASTIC
❤ i was so happy to see this at the rock show ❤.
Hello! Im one of those old school rock hounds that has been scooping agate, agatized wood, and even some oregon jade off the beaches.
Ive found a piece of agatized bark that i can clearly identify as sequoia that doesnt follow the rules and ive been trying to find someone more knowledgeable than myself to look at this thing, because books say the voids in this should have been filled, but i have voids where there were natural voids in the bark from structure, insect bore holes, even gaps partially filled with fossilized pitch and all the texture and detail, even beetle dung, but it looks like if you cut a spot in a living tree, you could place it in there and you couldnt tell it was a fossil. The color, the detail. Its unlike any fossilized wood ive ever seen. Ive imagined what moment must have created it, and i can only imagine great destruction made this possible. It never tumbled in the ocean, so back when redwoods inhabited the furthest reaches of the PNW, it was violently destroyed and immediately buried due to the sharp corners and detail, and is so "fresh" looking........
Strangest fossil ive ever seen.
Wanna see it?!? 0:46
Nice ❤❤❤
Those are FREAKING INCREDIBLE❤
Those pieces are AMAZING!
Coolest so far
WOW, WOW, WOW ,THEO AMAZING ,KEEP DOING WHAT YOU LOVE
❤ Love watching you and Montana Rock Mom.
I’ve been a rock enthusiast since I was a little kid (now 68 years old).
I was at a garage sale and noticed a large rock (11 lbs) that looked like quartz sitting in their flower bed.
So I bought it for $10.00.
I’m not skilled enough or have the equipment to make correct cuts and would love to send it to you if you are interested.
After looking more into it, there’s more going on with it that I can explain.
I can shoot you some pictures of it if interested.
Good no....great...finds. Especially in discard piles. Can't wait for more videos...currently unable to hunt. Thanks Theo!
Sweet, awesome, blueness!
AMAZING specimens!!!! Looking forward to seeing jewelry from your fossicking pieces when you find the time!
Wow gorgeous 🤩
Very cool.
Stunning Specimen!
Those are amazing!
So cool to find all those treasures 🎉
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! 😳🤯💙💙💙💙💙💙
We've been there many times! You're super lucky to find that great chunk. 👍
Aww!! So wish I could have been there with you guys!!! I live 30 miles from there! When you go next year you gotta tell when so I can meet up with you all!!
Whooohahaha!!! I'm soooooo happy for you!❤
Theo!! I have wanted to go to the blue forest for some time ❤️. Your finds are amazing!! So beautiful 😍. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! (Btw, Kyle lives a mile from me!)
loving the finds well done
It's a petrified puzzle! HAH! That was one epic excursion. I can't decide which one is my favorite. They're all so beautiful.
How can people toss out that material into the tailings? 🤯
Would that be considered grape agate? Those bots are simply hypnotizing.
AND you got to meet up with Kyle! Amazing trip. Thanks for sharing
I wish we had that around here. It’s so beautiful.
Oh my goodness I love the blue. What an amazing place. I know where Wyoming is but never heard of the blue forest
And I'm jumping like a little kid over here because I found a 2-inch piece of pet wood... :D
This is insanity! Such amazing specimens!
Magnificent 🎉
GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS!!!!!😍😍😍😍❤
I find blue chalcedony in the Big Horns. Looks like the material you found with the bots. Glad you guys had a good rock hunt in Wyoming. The Blue Forrest is amazing. I got to go back again soon. Great specimens Theo!
HOLY COW O.O
I gotta get out northwest someday and meet you guys! This looked like so much fun!!!
I was born in the wrong country! You guys have some stunning rock and mineral examples EVERYWHERE! I'm in Kent UK and we are famous for our mudsotnes...meh! I travel around to collect the pretty gem worthy rocks, but still nothing quite like American geology
It's not all like that. Where I am (NW Illinois), it's mostly limestone and diorite. A little farther north, though, is the driftless region. It's pretty country, still mostly limestone, but at least there's accessible fossils from the Ordovician. So far, I've only found nautiloids and some clamlike things, but there's supposed to be trilobites that I'm hoping to find.
@@hubrigant Good luck with the fossil hunt :) Our South coast isn't bad for fossils, farther West is best for giant ammonites though I haven't found any I can carry! I still say you guys have it good, pack up the car and drive drive drive, amazing country
@@claudine1220 I've been watching Em's Gems channel enviously because of her frequent trips to the ammonite coast area. The nautiloids I've collected so far pale in comparison, most being only the size of a finger.
From California and what I can say to you it's the rockhounder, not necessarily the rocks. In UK you can find something that is 300 years old. In California we be like, wow you found a soda bottle from 1979. Cool!!!
You should get outside of your bubble. With a little research you'll find that Cali has insane Fossil, mineral, and petrified wood deposits. Join a Rock Club and start exploring. You will be amazed at what one can find if you just look.
Montana rock mom❤
Wow! That is a gorgeous blue! Nice finds and wonderful job on prepping them! Where all can you find those? 😊
I have bleached wood several times. Grind and polish it first. Then in a sealed container submerse the entire rock it may take up to two months to get the desired results.
Again reminding you that if you went live with a heads up I would pull def be tuning I !
I am a huge fan of blue chalcedony,I have Blue chalcdony set in gold earrings.,ordered a blue agate bead necklace but it was stolen from me many years ago .
Lavender!
To me,an ignorant and inexperienced fan, the treasure you have revealed are simply astounding...
Good job 👍....
I loved that with the blue, so can`t wait to see what you will do with that. A lot of lovely rocks, a lucky day for you
That one pocket looks like Grapes, such a deep blue it’s almost purple. But when I seen it I thought it looked like a Grapes absolutely stunning ❤
If you're going to be mining while stationary id suggest investing in a 3.5 gallon hand pump concrete sprayer holds way more water and by the looks of it has more pressure output
The smaller blue stick you need to name Harry’s todger 😂👍
I thought I saw a picture of a PB&J sandwich with blueberries. 😂
Wow that blue is ridiculous. I wish I was closer I would go tomorrow 😂
Sweet! I've never found any blue wood. Plenty browns and yellows. Even black, red, and the occasional pale green. Oh and some amber in my largest piece. I had a decent hunt today, but that blue trumps anything I've ever seen!
Nice pieces. I live not far from there. 😊
I think you’re great Theo. Just make sure to always clean your lens so it’s not blurry.
There Are petrified wood trees in Iowa too, I have a piece that came out of a water well bore hole 150 million year old petrified Palm tree, and you can see the scales from the bark
I've got a couple pieces of petrified wood with amber or carnelian or some sort of orange/red band going through it. Super cool but the blue is amazing!
Too cool! Whatcha going to do with the log?
Looking forward to more videos.
Take care
If you have the time, the next time you are in my area l would like to show you the rocks I have found in southwest wyoming
Hey Walt.Have another few burgers with chips and milkshakes
You read my mind about the dark areas in the limbs/rounds. I was just wondering if it could have been a massive forest fire?
I'm pretty old, hope I get to go find some pieces before I'm TOO old. Very inspiring!
