Stunning Stones Secretly Shining All Around My Toes

  • Stunning agates, jaspers, petrified wood and more! These stones cover the gravels of the Yellowstone River in Montana and the best of them seem to sometimes be hidden in plain sight. How many of these treasured rocks do we step right over as we walk or hike over the gravels? I know sometimes I may walk right over a gorgeous agate more than once and completely miss it.
    I always get asked where I get my water spray bottle from...so I thought I would post a link to Amazon for it....

    Are you looking to do some rockhounding in Montana?
    Here are some links to some Montana rockhounding resources:
    Rockhounding In Montana (Where To Go and What You Can Find!)
    by Rock Seeker:
    www.rockseeker.com/rockhoundi...
    Montana Rockhounding Location Guide & Map by Mike Rhea, a professional geologist:

    Here's an Amazon link to a great Montana rockhounding guide:

    Looking to learn about Yellowstone River agates? This is a publication from 1972 by a man named Paul Fry. This was the very first literature I read when I was learning about Montana agates. It is called "Meanderings of a Montana Rockhound" and it is priceless:

    Here is another page with great information on Montana Agates by Jim Landon called "Montana Agate: The Best Catch on the Yellowstone River" :

    I'm sure competition is unwelcome, but when does the river go down enough for me to warrant a trip over that way to look for agates? I'm rapidly becoming addicted to the rush that comes with discovery!!❤😂
