 Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound. It's been a while So I had my surgery about four weeks ago. It's It's been a rough rough couple of months rough rough four months roughly, so Had the surgery it's It's a slow recovery, but I'm to the point now where I'm feeling well enough to come out and try and do a rock cutting video It'll probably still be another month or so before I'll be well enough to get out rock hounding, so I'm looking forward to that I can't wait until I feel a little enough to do that for now We'll try some rock cutting. So I've got a few rocks lined up here Just a few odds and ends much of these are just little rocks. I've picked up Just playing around in the gravel that thought might be interesting and then a few other things like a geode and some things So let's get cutting into them and see if we've got anything good Start off with this. It's a little pebble. I found in the gravel down there look kind of like a jasper and Okay, it is a jasper. That's not a good one. It's not very good quality, but it is This one kind of looked like a low-grade agate sitting over there. Let's see Yeah, that's kind of what it is It's definitely Cal Sydney, but I guess you could call it a little bit of agate Not too bad. Sorry about the lighting. The Sun's being blocked by some clouds Here's a little bit of that bird's-eye marble that I had left over not one of the shells, but we'll see Okay, not too bad for one of these smaller ones like this You can tell it rolled around something in the middle, but not sure what Here's another pebble. I picked up off the ground. It looked kind of like a root beer colored Cal Sydney ragged and Yeah, that's about what it is I mean, not too bad Not bad for just a stream pebble Another stream pebble I saw that looks like kind of a band banded jasper agate, whatever Yep, that's about what it is Not too bad This is a tiny little bit of that Bertrandite that I still had sitting over there that needed to be cut Whoa It's very dark and not really purple on the inside. It's got this empty pocket in it There's some crystals growing in there almost a bluish crystal. What? I Don't know if you guys can see that very well. I don't know how the lighting is there, but From what I can see there's these like little blue crystals in there I'm gonna have to do a little bit more research and see if I can figure that out probably some flora appetite or something Hey, this is a little stream pebble that I looked at and it's like that looks like an agate Yeah, pretty much Not the greatest But it still looks cool Still nice Here's another stream pebble that looked interesting. It looked like it had some black like chert or maybe even agate going through it Oh, hey Yeah, you can see some. Yeah a little bit of agate in there Not bad Here's another stream pebble looks kind of like a jasper. Let's take a look Yeah, it's it's a jasper Not too bad Not too bad. Here's a little piece of wonder stone I saw sitting over there and yep good old Vernon wonder stone even the tiny pieces don't disappoint There's some of the Levanne black agate. I hadn't cut open yet And it is hard to see isn't it but this side actually has some good agate through there I'll have to grind away on the back there and shine some light through. It's it's actually a pretty nice piece right there Don't quite get as much on this side Another stream pebble that looks like some of that reddish jasper you get over by the the swell Yeah, I think so very interesting one That is pretty cool inside. There's a lot going on in there Here's another little piece of Bertrandite There's that classic dark purple Very nice Very nice indeed And last but not least good old dugway geode. You can already see it's gonna be good. They they never disappoint. Yep See never disappoints Doug way geodes Very nice And there you have it a few good ones and of course a few duds it Kind of what is expected, but not too bad. And of course the Bertrandite always looks kind of nice And I hope you enjoyed that one I'm not sure what I'll do another one. Maybe next week. I'll do another cutting video We'll just have to take them a week at a time But eventually I will get back out rock counting probably a month or so down the road And I can't wait to get back into that and then I'm gonna go all in as much as I can Anyway, until next time remember there is treasure everywhere
