 Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound today joined with Eric. We're out here at a spot I've been wanting to come to for a while. It's the well-known pigeon blood agate close to Green River So this stuff is everywhere. Just look at that littering the ground So you're just trying to find the really good pieces where you get some of the nice red inside of the white or colorless and There's some really clear pieces out here relatively Yeah, I think it's gonna be great. Oh look at that one Yeah, if you guys you guys like agates or calcid knee Yeah, come on out here. Oh And of course GPS coordinates of how to get here Okay, let's get at it So here's kind of a nice example of how you can get the nice red inside of it So they're kind of like little red dendrites That form inside So look for and maybe really nice ones of those Some decent looking red. There's also some green you can get in here and if you can get the green in the red I've heard that's really nice as well So Eric found looks to be a limb cast replaced with some red jasper He did say there was petrified wood around here. So that's kind of the prize Eric's looking for right now Yes Just pulled this out. This is some darker stuff. Oh, I think this is gonna be nice. I'm gonna wash this one off Okay, I got it washed off Look at that Go all that red in there All kinds of stuff going on in that That's pretty cool Yeah, I think I'll take that one. Here's this one washed off. I Decided not to cut it open because there were too many fractures in it So I have to try and do something else with it later It's so many cool patterns on the outside Neat stuff So let's just take a moment to enjoy just the sheer amount and variety of This agate here so much of it is just mostly a clear calcini a lot of white But then what you're looking for is that really nice red Coming in on some of these pieces just Sometimes it's just Stunning Look at that here. Let me put the other lens on look at that That is neat Right now. I'm just trying to grab a variety of pieces That you know show different things. It's like it has some nice red in it. This one looks like it's Yeah, so you got a little bit of that in there and then some of these that are just splotched with the red Here's this all washed off So many red dots in that one That one looks like it might be really nice inside. I think any that look like they'll have a really good inside Those are the ones I'll probably take Another good-looking one here All right, there's another one with some red in it Not much. It's mostly clear, but look at that red. That one looks nice Some red swirls in there Cool Here's this one washed off that one's pretty cool looking It's like speckled the red spot in the middle that one's kind of cool Just That one's dark Yeah, it's some dark ones out here some of these pieces get pretty big They are pretty factored a lot too though. So Yeah Another neat looking one look at that I like that one Here's this one washed off It's just so cool They really are just everywhere here. Look at that So much to choose from So many options Just it's all over All over Agates for days Just on and on this entire hill Just full of this stuff Another pretty nice looking piece And this really dark one Kind of interesting from this side Looks like something we should cut Cut this one open This side is shattered This one didn't Look at that That's really nice This also looks like one we should cut look at the inside there Cool There's a little piece of petrified wood Not very pretty wood But it is wood So I've heard there's some good agatized wood you can find out here. So Maybe we'll come across some of that. Oh, here's another one that looks like it might be interesting inside like that And oh, I just saw that look at that Got some cool red in it Nice That one looks like it'll be pretty nice Nice red in there I'll get that home and cleaned off That one looks good too So Eric found this piece that's got a little bit of green in it. So he says there's really nice ones that have more green Like that a bit bigger Look at that one. That one's nice Sweet Here's this one washed off Look at that That one looks neat And we just got more stuff. It just looks really cool just laying around Here's this one washed off This looks like a big chunk. Let's try getting it out and see if it's anything cool Find the edge of it though Yeah, that's pretty big. There it comes These things can be chunky. I don't know if it's any good inside Do I take it home or do I bust it open here just to see? Let's go ahead and just bust it open and see Yeah, not very good. Glad I broke it here Well that one looks nice Yeah, let's grab that one. Yeah, I think that one's gonna be really nice Take that one home. Nice Here's this one washed off Still has a bit of a green lichen on it. Didn't quite get off. So many red circles Hold that one out. It's got a nice side there. I don't know if there's more on it, but I'm promising. I kept this one open, but it shattered A lot of these are so fractured. Just it's going to shatter probably I just got some nice stuff inside. Yeah, one looks nice sweet Here's this one washed off Nice looking piece. This has got some nice red on this edge But then it goes white So my theory here is most of the red is probably on the very edge of the nodules forming in the ground And as it goes toward the center it goes colorless and bleh So the good quality stuff is on the edges, which is why you probably don't find very big pieces of the good quality stuff Larger piece with a little bit of the red speckled through Look at that. It's like a nice kind of orange Cool This is a bigger one that might be worth cutting in to Hmm, maybe I'll take that back This one looks orange-ish That one's a bit orange. That's cool This looks like a nice chunk Okay Yeah, I think I'll cut under this one take that one back. There's another nice piece good banding in there Another good-looking piece. This one's got that green around it there. It looks like like a fibrous mineral Or something That's cool though Here's this one washed off all kinds of cool stuff all over it Also decided not to cut this one Because I'm worried about it fracturing So I'll try and figure out what to do with it later down the road. Here's this one washed off Look at look at the patterns right there So cool Here's this one washed off Managed to get that little bit of greenish stuff around one of the red circles Really interesting No, this one looks nice. I think that'll be really nice cleaned off Here's this one washed off. This looks like another good piece Circle sometimes are really interesting. Here's this one cut open So because of the way it was there was just a small side here, but this side was nice. Look at that really nice That one looks nice Doesn't it? That looks promising. That was the only thing sticking up above the surface. I'm gonna actually quickly try and wash that off. I Would say that's the biggest nice piece. I've found so far. That's probably got a lot of good stuff. Oh Yeah That one looks promising. Here's this one washed off Really like the edges of it and this is to be cut down the road. It's too big for my current saw So this will be in a cutting video at some point And another good-looking one Here's this one washed off Stuff is amazing and another good-looking one and Another good-looking one Chips Here's this one washed off a Lot of little red dots in that one two more good-looking ones Nice Here's this one cut open. It's shattered. So here's this piece And then here's this piece Really nice. It's again. It's kind of dirty, but I Think this will be a pretty good one Here's this one washed off. I really like this one. Look at all the red plumes and things going on in there It's just so cool So much happening. I bet if I just kind of Ground down the backside of it let some more light through it'd be stunning. I Have found the number six That's pretty cool Now that's different That's an orange color Not the reds. We've been normally seeing some black That's fascinating Eric just found a really neat one like that Cool So I think I got enough of that beautiful agate that's up there the white and red Need stuff so I've come down here to the wash because last time Eric was out here He said he came down in this wash and found two pieces of orange red and black petrified wood really nice stuff and He said he couldn't find any more. He searched all around He even walked up and over a little bit But said he only found those two pieces and has no idea where they came from so I figure well Let's give it a shot. Let's search in this wash a bit and see if we can Find another piece of that wood and maybe if we're super lucky Try and figure out where it came from so you got chunks of the pigeon blood agate just laying around But do have some other ones that are different color probably came from some of these different other heels up here We'll see if any of it looks any good Interesting actually that might be a white opal in the middle of that one, huh? Look at that chunk You got some big agates out here. Yeah, it looks like a little pocket of tiny quartz crystals in there Okay, right there Right there. I just pulled this out. It's a piece of petrified wood. Look at that It's got red and a black a little bit of that orange and there you can see the wood This must be a piece What he's looking at and I'm up from the actual main wash so it must have come off of this hillside Found some agate kind of like a seam of it. It's a lot of black in here but some red and some cool little zones in it Neat stuff Oh cool. Yeah, so that comes from up that stuff So Eric just pulled this out so you got this rim of nice red agate and then you got crystals growing into the middle of it Cool So here's an example of those crystal pockets that form in these rocks Cool, we've got a nice little crystal pocket here of what looks to be calcite Yep, that's calcite say That'll that'll happen a lot in places like this On this nice piece sit on the side. It's some good red in it. We'll cut into that Here's this one cut open. I saw that side and I was like, ooh, let's take a look Whoa That's a lot of black Let's cut that white pocket right in the middle Okay, yeah, I was not expecting that much black Huh, that mean that one might be nice inside. I think I'll take that back and cut it open That's something right there. It is. Oh Look you can see the bandy in that one Yeah, I'll take that and cut that that should be nice Look at that. I just found Beautiful little streampebble of what looks to be carnelian. Oh, yeah, really nice. My wife will love that one. I Just stumbled across this I was like what the heck First I looked at it and I was like, oh, it's calcite. I picked it up. I'm like that ain't calcite. I Believe that's a huge chunk of barite Was that another one right there? Yeah, oh my goodness, what the heck where did that come from? Look at Eric just found. Look at these neat little calcite crystals. Those are actually ripped that one right there is Beautiful Oh, that's nice Eric just picked up that one looks like a nice nodule that'll probably clean up really nice Yep, some of this c-mag is just really interesting a lot of dark black, but you get some red Some other stuff going on in there Well, here we go some nice calcites and look at that a few little bladed barites very interesting and Not far from that one. Look at this hunker. I just found look at that that had some big beautiful calcites in it One time and look at all that bladed barite It's so cool Man, I want a fresh pocket one of these But how do you know where to break? I don't know Just have to get lucky probably Really nice calcite on that one look at that It's really cool Here's this pocket of calcite washed off that is so cool Beautiful calcite crystal right in the middle. Here's this one washed off So you got the darker calcite crystals then you got these lighter color barite crystals a lot of the barite crystals I thought they were just white, but these ones ended up being clear Really cool Really cool Here's this little thing cut open Interesting a little bit more of a jasper cool Here's this agate washed off This was so surprising to find So cool This was the best side though Decide not to cut it because it's so fractured. I'm afraid I'll lose it Here's this one washed off Nice Here's this one washed off. I really liked that band going through it really cool Here's this piece cut open though Well, it's very clear on the inside. Look at that Very nice like that one So I cut this one open That's what you could see on the outside So I was thinking to probably look similar on the inside and pretty close, but it's got some Better bands of red up there Nice And we're back at the vehicle. What a neat spot. Thanks Eric So we gave the GPS to here most of what we found is just on this white and some of those other cool things We found along those cliffs and that's it So I'd love to come back and really explore this area and back that way and all over this place So cool. Anyway, thanks for watching and remember there is treasure everywhere
