 Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound today. I'm joined with quite a few people I've got Eric here a new face here Austin and my father dad you've seen him before So we're back on Eric's claim I haven't been out here for a while Eric's found some new stuff out here some exciting things He's got some of those a bearite Kind of grape clusters that you kind of see over at Yellowcat that when you cut them open you get this red and white Agate but out here. He's found yellow in them. So they've been pretty small though. So far you found So we'll see if we can find any bigger ones plus There's all that beautiful wood all those beautiful Sceptarians and who knows what else we still want to see what else we can find out here So wish us luck. Let's go see what we can find So there's first spot All those little pieces you can see It's a piece of what it looks like kind of a crushed piece of petrified wood All smashed down They got little bits of wood poking out here pretty area In a pretty day Here's a nice piece of it. You can see how that's definitely wood Very cool So here's one of those chunks that he found that is bearite You can see a little bit of the bearite crystals right in there and You cut that open and see if you got any agate in the middle of it This is small, so it probably won't be that great So we're hoping to find some bigger ones. Here's this little one cut open Has a little bit of red agate in the middle Not a lot. No yellow No, well, we keep trying This one looks kind of interesting. It's like it kind of like a pebble, but Looks like an agate. I don't know. I think I'll cut it just to see There's a piece of petrified wood just sticking in the wall It's like a branch of one So this is really interesting See it just looks like a bunch of pebbles in clay or ash But I picked it up and it's heavy So there's gonna be buried in there and you might be able to see a few crystals of bearite poking out through there So I think I might take that hoe and cut it just in case there's agate in it Here's that piece of conglomerate that I decided to bring back and Okay, it's conglomerate, but you do have a little bit of agate in it some red a little bit of yellow over there Okay, cool This looks like it might be a bumpy one seeing a little bit of bear right there So we'll take and cut that one open. Here is this bunch of bearite cut open. Oh Huh Okay, so we got the red Kind of in patches Yeah, no not a lot of yellow It's like it was trying to but didn't quite get there Okay, this looks like a bigger cluster You can see how they have kind of those little nodular shapes What they call grapes over at Yellowcat? Yep, take and cut that one. Here's this bearite cluster cut open. Oh Oh Once again a bunch of red patches all through it Small patches you can't see a lot in them, but they're agates Interesting Just found this down in the wash decided to come down a little bit to see if they were eroding out And they might be easier to see the little balls of bearite But I haven't really seen it yet, but this is a piece of wood that has come down But I was just like wow look at the color in there Maybe hold it up to the light a little bit Can Huh Here's a little piece of the wood that looks quite nice. It's got red and yellow in it And some calcite right in the middle Just found this it's got some red and yellow agate Right there Mmm, I'm gonna want to cut into that there may be more inside of it That could be really cool Maybe we'll look for more things that look kind of like this Here's the one that's got that nice red agate right there and Just a few little veins here and there Not much going through the rock. It's like the best stuff was on the outside And we're back in the area with the logs There's a log sticking out pieces of it laying around See a log piece over there, maybe you guys can spot that and those let's go take a look There it is close up. It's a nice piece, isn't it? Nice big chunk Just found that piece of red agate that one looks really nice Get it home and clean it off more and maybe Get a better look at it. Well this log fell down and broken to lots of pieces Probably was originally over there and these big rocks fell down and just smashed it Well, it's got some cool pockets right here Looks like we got calcite crystals in there and that looks like it might be a little bit of quartz Druzey Very nice Well this log while not terribly big does have a nice surface to it Nice texture on that cool There's another log right there went in And then there's one right on top of it That has mostly disappeared That's really cool though There's a nice big one sticking out Now that one is pretty wide You can see how squished it is and flat and happens with wait That's a pretty big one I'd say from one side to the other that's It's good five feet cool And there's where he put his clay marker Eric. Here it is from a different vantage point Look at that petrified wood Just a huge chunk Wonder if it's the base of the tree. See how it's starting to like fan out Yeah, this is probably the base of the tree That would have been a pretty big tree This is what I mean. Look at those colors in there Look at that still need to clean that off a little bit here, but Definitely seeing some more colors Really cool. Let's take a look at some of these other ones Yeah, look at that definitely best-looking wood. I've seen up here at all look at all that Look at that piece It's got some cool patterns in it Very nice Look at that. That's pretty What I just found in the log a Barrett crystal look at that So we're up here in the Sceptarians and we started piling up some of there like that big one I pulled off It's a little bler on this but you can kind of sit I just pulled this out look at that It's a terminated Barrett crystal and it's loose. I can feel it about to fall off But you can see some Barrett's growing into a pocket and it actually terminated so confirmed there are pockets up here that have Barrett's That can terminate Just pulled out that cluster of calcites. That'll be really nice. I'll have to get that cleaned off Those are some good sized ones So that's the biggest sceptarian I decided to keep got about a dozen or so and my dad's packing we'll Go down and we'll take them home and cut them all open see what's in them So unfortunately see I cut these sceptarians, but they shattered They're just so heavily fractured the ones on the surface So it's unfortunate, but you can see how pretty they were inside and some of them It's just too bad that they like to fracture Okay, Eric, what did you find? Yeah, we got some petrified wood with a little bit of rutilated quartz on it. Look at that Can you guys see the rutile in there? Maybe maybe not But there's little fine crystals of rutile. I would not have thought you would find a rutilated quartz up here Nice find. There's this little Barrett cut open You could already see some red agate on the outside so you knew there'd be some in there Just a little bit though and a tiny bit of yellow orange down there Here's this little Barrett ball cut open. Oh Tiny bit of red tiny bit of yellow barely anything. Oh Well, it is very small Here's this Barrett cut open. Oh Oh, it's just Barrett all the way through did not get any agate replacement Huh? Well, that happens Here's this one cut open broke a little bit Okay, we got red and a tiny bit of yellow So you can see how the yellow kind of forms in the center and the red on the outside So I think the red formed first and the yellow came later Here's this Barrett cluster cut open This is a little better. Okay. This has a little bit more going on right there some agatization Got a little bit of yellow going through there mostly red and colorless Still cool And we made it back to the vehicle. That was a great day. Let's take a look at everybody's finds here Bucket full of stuff. There's our buckets Some wood some more wooden buckets back there and then Austin volunteered to carry that huge scepterian back. So that's his he gets to keep it So we had a good time and Most of the stuff I don't even know what it looks like because we haven't cut it open yet But you'll have already seen it and it's probably really cool I'm excited. I can't wait kind of jealous yet. You've seen it and I haven't anyway until next time. Remember there is treasure everywhere
