 Hello and welcome once again to the Rugged Rockhound. Today I'm not out rockhounding. I actually kind of hurt my shoulder a little bit a week ago. I've been trying to let it heal up a little bit before going out rockhounding again. Just keeping it playing it safe. Anyway managed to get out over to to visit Eric at his place and he's got a much bigger saw so I grabbed some of my larger ones and had him cut into a few of those. So we're gonna take a look at some of those today. Some of the big ones I've had sitting around for some for quite a while and we'll see what we got in them. So let's go ahead and take a look. First up we've got some nice green fluorite from the mine. For those who remember we went up kind of up through Glade Park and then over into Utah and found this old mine where they used to mine fluorite and we took and cut one open. Just kind of made a slab out of it. It's really pretty stuff isn't it? Look at that. Go back over here. Nice. A couple of weeks ago you guys me remember I took a trip down to Monticello and just south of Moab stopped and got some aggots. This was a big one that I you saw in the video and we got it cut. Eric cut it open. Here we go. Look at that. It does look a little bit like the stuff you see over by the San Rafael Swell but still different. Not quite as strong coloring in the Jasper and the aggots but it's still neat. And here's the other side. Really cool. Yeah you can even see some like potential like plumes and stuff going on in there. Once again here's one of those big aggots that I found south of Moab. This one remember it had that little red on the side and I was curious and here we are cut open. So it looks a lot like the other one but there is more red in this. Not as much of that. Kind of colorless in the center. Very nice and that might actually be some calcite in there. Really neat stuff. Yeah definitely better to get these big pieces and cut them open. You get a lot more variety. Many many years ago I was working on a geology degree down in Las Cruces, New Mexico. And while I was there I went up around a place called Truth or Consequences and found this little rock that looked like it was gonna be red Jasper further inside. And I always wanted to get it cut. Never got around to it and here it is. Finally I have no idea and whoa huh. Those little blobs and stuff through it. It almost looks a little bit like dinosaur bone but it's not. It doesn't have the right structure for dinosaur bone. It doesn't have the right shape but it kind of looks like it. It's definitely a Jasper. I don't know if you'd call any of that stuff in there agate. And here's the other side. Very interesting. Hmm. Multiple episodes of things going on in here. Probably started by depositing the Jasper on the outside. Kind of the brown and then it turned red and then all these other little things going inside. Huh. I don't know for sure. Neat stuff though. And here's the final one cut open. This is some of that Picasso marble I've had sitting around for a long time. A big chunk. This is gonna look good. You just know it will. Let's see. Oh yes. Look at that beautiful thing. Yeah. It was a long time ago. Went out here. I think it was 2007 or 2008 with a rock hunting club from Cedar City. One of the claim owners at the time took us out there. I don't know if you can go out there anymore. I don't know who owns the claim if it's the same person or somebody yells. Things have probably changed since then. But boy is that beautiful stuff. Yeah. We'll have to see if there's any chance of getting back out there sometime. I don't know. I've got a lot of this stuff. Don't know if I need any more. Beautiful. And there they are. Finally got those cut open. Really cool. Some of them really nice. And of course that Picasso marble at the end. The stuff's always beautiful. I hope you enjoyed it. So just a little bit going forward. Now that it's October to October the weather is really nice. Should be able to get rock rock hunting a lot more. Assuming my work doesn't send me on too many business trips. I've got one next week and I'll find time. I will find time. And now that my shoulder's starting to feel a little better. Hopefully this weekend be able to get back out as well. Get some more rock hunting in. I'm really excited. This is the right time of the year to get out and do this. So look forward to those coming up. Also there may be some information coming up in the future. There might be some changes happening in my mind and my wife's and my family's life. So stay tuned for those potential updates. Anyway until next time. I hope all of you have a wonderful time on your own. Rock hunting and finding stuff during this wonderful time of the year when the weather's just right. And remember there is treasure everywhere.
