  • CHECK OUT THIS 4 lb. blue agate! Kate squeezed in one last rockhounding adventure before the end of the year - and it was amazing! Because the river was very low, rocks have been uncovered that couldn't be seen before - including a fantastic 4 pound agate! In this video, Kate finds the rocks, cuts them into slabs, and for some, even prepares cabochons to expose the beauty within. You'll see why Kate says the Yellowstone River has so many beautiful rocks!

    I absolutely love how you show the progression of the rock from its raw state to how you transform them into beautiful pieces. It is so enjoyable to see. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.

I'm glad you did! That did my heart good! Lol! What a great last hunt and that agate was worth it all! Fantastic find! And the cab you made from that first cut, was just amazing! I love the way you isolated that ring! Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing! ❤

    Still my favorite RUclipsr... To think a year ago I had no idea and was looking for Montana agates from Katydid show in a Alabama creek 😂
    It took a little while to realize the answer was in the name.😂
    I have come so far now. We have so many beautiful rocks in Alabama. I've lost so much weight walking around the creeks and rivers.
    From size 48 to a cool 34...😊
    You still have the very best agates in the world Katie... We love your channel so much.
    Learning something new every time I watch.
    Nice cabochon..
    I finally learned to edit 😂
    Your skills are unmatched.
    Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎊

  • @JulieGentzel
    @JulieGentzel Месяц назад

    I'm not sure, but I do believe that smaller "granite" is a jasper. Granite would have more feldspar and biotite in it. Gorgeous no matter which it turns out to be. I really enjoy your videos, especially when you splice together the finding, then cutting, shaping and polishing....even if you only get the chance to clean the find up and show it from home, you are awesome to do so!
