 Hello and welcome once again to the rugged rockhound today. I'm back out of the claim with Eric and we got a few subscribers here say hello Kathy and Welcome welcome So we're gonna explore the claim see if we can find anything new today Did want to go check that place where he found the rudalated courts last time and kind of explore further in that area See what else we can find it's exciting. It's a wonderful day today great temperature. It's gonna be in the mid to high 60s Fantastic day. Okay, let's get out there and see what we can find So I've been here for a few minutes just collecting stuff all along the edge here Right next to the vehicles We have here These cool agates that form at the center of the Barrett clusters So somebody might be familiar with the Barrett clusters that come from Yellowcat These these ones have yellow in some of them also little just pieces of it We've got some nice bigger ones here. I'm excited to cut into Like that one very nice you can you can see the red and the yellow and a lot of these. Oh Yeah, look at that one It's beautiful. So just a whole bunch Really cool pieces. They're small But boy, are they pretty Here's this height piece all nicely washed off. That's so cool. It's like a bullseye Target or something Here's this one all washed up you can see these cracks going through it It's ready to fall apart. So I have to see what I can do to keep it together Here's this one cut open It's got a little bit in there It's got a nice section there with the red and yellow Yeah, it would have been like this originally there we go Here's this one cut open Oh Very nice red not much yellow The red is really nice Here's this one cut open Nice Too bad Just need to show you this I cut this one open and sometimes Everything you do to try and keep them from shattering won't stop it, but look at it. That would have been so beautiful. Oh Man Well, I have to see what we can salvage from these pieces Because they are pretty I think it's because there was a calcite center to it which then just Fractured the heck out of everything It's cool though Here's this one cut open this side you can see broke That one stayed intact though. So we got one good side and it was worth it. Look at that Very nice Here's this one cut open That's a nice look at that one. Let's start yellow red contrast Very nice Here's this tiny little one cut open And there's stuff even in the tiny ones. Look at that Here's this one all nicely cleaned up Look at that So pretty Red and yellow Here's this one cut open Oh, yes, look at that yellow nice This one was so thin. I just kind of grazed that side. Let the other side shatter and Got a little bit of red in there Here you can see where there's little bits of red laying all over And I think I see one just barely poking out right here. We'll see Oops flat one. Yeah, that's not got really much on it Here's this one cut open. Oh Lot of yellow in that one that nice And look at this one just sitting right here so you can see There's that red in there and then you can see the outlook. Oh look at the other side There you go red and yellow right there. See that's what you're looking for On this hill. These are really cool There's some of the bear right right there You can see that shape Grounds really hard right now. That one's really small though. It might not have anything in it But we'll give it a shot And then you got little broken pieces of red here in there Here's this one cut open Yeah, there's some yellow in there That's a pretty nice one. Very good Here's this one cut open a little bit. It's got a little bit of yellow and red in there Here's this one cut open All yellow there's no red in this that's weird That's the first one I've seen that's just been straight yellow Here's this one cut open. Oh That's a nice one. Look at that red and yellow Just beautiful Here's this one cut open. Oh More of a colorless in the middle there Nice This stuff coming out So Eric says there's the seam coming out from over there We'll go check that out here in a minute That looks really cool. Yeah, we'll go check that out Just pulled this one out. Look at that one That beautiful red and yellow in it Very nice. Here's this one all nicely washed off Just picked this up. It's like a vein, but it's very different Look at all that That's really cool. Here's these strange banded agate pieces washed off Very neat So Eric found this kind of vein or something of stuff coming out Where it's kind of got the red agate all through it You can see it Just kind of scattered all through it So we're thinking it might be just a whole kind of a sheet of barite that got Partially replaced So you got just bits of it here and there Some better than others So it's a matter of just kind of going through it Looking for the better looking pieces Here's some very yellow jasper Just a little a little different than the other stuff. Cool. Here's kind of an interesting piece of wood It's got an interesting shape to it Cool Another interesting looking piece of jasper Just a little different than the other stuff we've been finding around here And of course like usual you got petrified wood pieces all over It's just a matter of finding ones that are good enough to keep Okay, we made it back up into the wood area. This is where you found that awesome Routalated quartz last time Here's some nice butt cradle In a pocket on this piece of wood Very nice Yeah, that could be barite Then little blades of white barite and a lot of it gets this really nice texture and color to it Yeah, so we have a green outside here. Yeah, a green red. Look at some green there and red there Really cool. Really good textures Here's one that has a nice red rind to it Just on the edge Cool Here's a nice little piece of wood Looks like it's got some white opal right there So right now we're up in the area where we're finding the better pieces as you can see right there Already looking better Because you get better textures on the outside you get more reds in them Sometimes greens Yeah, these are already Looking a lot better than the wood you find in other places Nice big chunk there Yep, some of these pockets Really nice botched Routal Some pieces have this really nice pink center to them It's kind of a mixture of red and white giving it a pink appearance That's cool. This is a cool piece. Look at the rind on that one Cool Here's a really neat big one. It's got a bunch of barite along this side here Yeah Some botched Routal And on this side Some interesting texture It's a neat piece The edge of this one is really nice. I think I'll take that one home just because of that edge See how it looks on this side Huh It'll be fun to try and polish that up just to see Here's this piece of wood all washed off Originally, I wasn't going to show these washed off But I thought I'd do at least one where you can really see how a lot of them out there look like this This is really common Kind of got this wider edge the brown black interior, but this one had nice Patterns in it where you can see where the rings of growth were Here's some more really cool looking pieces of wood Nice That one has a beautiful organic shape to it Really cool And that down there is just an entire log sticking out of the ground Eric found this nice one coming out There's a log coming out of there Really good texture on it Really good definition really Still in good shape. That's another nice big log right down there It's actually really big And of course that big one's sticking up there And you got a bunch of pieces coming out from up here. There's a log that broke out there Stuff is just everywhere Here's some different pieces Kind of have this reddish outside And the interior hard to tell but I think it's going to be a little different Than what I'm seeing so we'll get those home and washed off Made it down to the log that was sticking up It's tiny look at it Walk around it Look at all the other pieces everywhere Just So much of it And as you continue it's just more wood and more wood And more wood And more wood This won't look kind of neat. I might take it back. I don't know. I just found this piece. Look at that. It's really cool It's like the core of the branch It just looks really cool Here's this piece of wood all nicely washed off. It looks so cool from this This perspective right here So cool These are some nice pieces down here This one's kind of cool up here too I think that one has some of the rings like mine the other one has that I found Yeah, right there in the center again Really cool Here's this piece of wood all nicely washed off That one looks really nice. I'll take that one back with me Very nice. Look at that piece of wood. Look at that That's one of the best pieces I've seen color-wise Here's this piece of petrified wood all washed off Very nice Very nice indeed Here's some other interesting looking red agates. They look to be a bit thicker But maybe not as pretty as the other ones we've seen earlier Definitely lost the yellow again. So I cut open this piece of red agate And look at that right there That's really nice See if there's any other Good pieces in there got a little bit on that A little bit on that Here's this agate all washed off So many patterns in there That is beautiful Oh man, we're getting into some good pieces of agate. Look at that That is stunning Wow There's been better over here Here's this agate all nice and washed off Wow What a piece so much going on in there so many layers Definitely gonna have to try and polish up sections of it or something So we're back at the vehicle Eric's showing off some of the cool stuff he found and you got to see this. This is neat stuff Look at that It's kind of like pastel Kind of like an agate opal mix. It really looks like white opal in it But yeah, look at that And let's take a look at the really nice piece right here. I'll let you hold it. Sure Look at that That's some stunning stuff Goes all through that rock. So he's going to take it back and cut and see what else is in there But yeah, by far that's the most stunning part So Eric, let me keep this piece of the ones he found. Look at how nice that came up You can only imagine how much nicer those bigger ones were that you got to see but What a bit nice to show them nice and close up washed off Here's this strange nodule cut open Oh interesting. It's kind of like a jasper ugly jasper, but it's a jasper Here's this septarian cut open Okay Yeah, it's kind of hard to see like this when you polish these though. You can see them a lot better Okay, there's a tiny septarian cut open and Yeah, I broke a bit You can't see much. Oh well. Here's this agate nicely washed off That is beautiful, isn't it? It's a very nice one And that's it for today We had a great time found so many cool things found a variety of new things We hadn't seen out here before or just higher quality stuff Wow, this is this claim just never ceases to amaze until next time.
