 Hello and welcome to the rugged rockhound today. We're gonna cut some rocks. It's still cold out here We still got snow and places that aren't covered in snow are wet and muddy, so Not really good week for rockhounding, but we can at least get some things cut open So let's see what we found this time starting things off with a little bit of the black agate and All right, not too bad We've got a little bit of the white in there. It is pretty small But it still looks nice another little piece of the black agate It's very similar to the other one Yeah, this doesn't have much white in it Here's some Jasper. I think this came from the spot that Tim found it might be from the Drum mountains. No, I think it's things from the spot we found and it's Interesting, okay Let's got some cool patterns going on in there. That's not too bad stuff Nice So here's something I actually found on the edge of the river here in Grand Junction, so I've been out a couple times just like after work Just for a short time where I just go out there and take a quick look and this looks like petrified wood on the outside Just kind of browns. Let's take a look inside. Oh Yeah, okay. Yeah, that looks like wood you got the nice wood grain going through there I just wish it was color and not just kind of a tan color brown Still the pattern and it's really nice Here's a little piece of agate that I found from southern Utah many many years ago and Okay, it's got a nice banding on the very edge of it The rest is just kind of whatever but Interesting, okay, here's a little bit of agate that I had just sitting around Let's take a look and There's no banding, so I guess technically it's just Cal Sydney But if you uh, maybe grind a little bit of it down, it'll let the light through really nice Just not the best color and unfortunately no banding. Here's some more black agate Very small veins going through it What I can tell Not the best-looking it's just it's okay Yeah, I have much better black agate than this though Here's something I saw on the river too. I looked at it. It's like that might be an agate or it might just be a chunk of quartz let's cut it open and I Would say that's a chunk of quartz Don't see any banding really Yeah, it's just it's just a chunk of quartz. Can't win them all so as I was going through some of my old rocks I thought I had cut open most of the stuff I'd collected from clay Canyon Which is a an old mine that I used to go and rockhound at that I had permission to where you find Varricite and some other rare phosphate minerals and I had a couple that weren't cut yet so I decided to go ahead cut them and Okay So it's mostly yellow and kind of oranges that most of them are just yellow, but it's got a little bit of color Variation going through there So that one's not too bad Here's the other click and new nodule that I had cut now This one had more weight to it. Normally when they have weight they tend to be much better inside so I was really kind of excited about this one looking forward to it and ooh, okay Definitely better colors and mutt this would take a much better polish Unfortunately, no green or blue in it. That's what you're looking for when you're talking clay Canyon But Overall still very nice Very nice color and patterns Another piece of black agate I cut that the other side broke. This is the only side that survived and Yeah Not that great Here's another agate that I found from southern Utah. It looked like it had good bending on the outside So let's take a look at the inside. Oh, yes Okay, that's much better banding. You got several layers there. I mean I wish they were colored But that's got quite a few bands in it still very nice. This is a piece of petri red wood I just had sitting around. I don't know where it came from Kind of looks like the stuff from Nevada and The insides Interesting it is fairly clear if we could maybe if I grind it down it might look nice with light coming through it But other than that not very good color All right, this is one of the rocks that I got from one of my subscribers Who said unboxed me and I finally cut it open? Let's take a look and Nice pretty much looks like I thought it would because that's the way the outside looks but it's still very nice stone It's got cool little patterns going through it. Yeah, this is a really neat stone We could make some really cool stuff with this That'll be fun down the road and last one today decided let's go ahead and cut some more Wonderstone, here we go Oh nice, I just love that wonder stone from vernet it is beautiful stuff, isn't it? just look at that Those patterns those colors I Do really really like this stuff and there you have it There's some cool stuff some of them turned out some of them not so much. Ah, that's it That's normal some good ones some not just okay ones well I hope you enjoyed and hopefully I'll get a rock counting video out next week, but Due to the weather probably just another rock cutting video. Oh Well until next time remember there is treasure everywhere
