I'm a Canadian, Vancouver Island, gal who loves rocks (especially agates)! I collect, cut, polish and tumble all the purdy stones :) Join me on my rock adventures!
Searching for Dallasite
Rockhounding near Qualicum Beach, looking for Vancouver Island's unique gemstone Dallasite!
Dallasite is a brecciated rock formed in basalt, composed of quartz, epidote and carbonate.

I put my trim saw to work cutting some of my new agates and preparing a few slabs for making cabs :)

Hi I’m new here and just across the water. Very cool. I love these.
The green on the 3rd from last is epidote☺
I always water my garden rocks-so beautiful
Those are super cool thank you so much for sharing. ❤ I found a fairy stone that looks like a goldfish in Kenosha Wisconsin, United States. It looks a lot like the one in your video. I wish I could show a picture I want to verify it. They aren't found anywhere near here to my knowledge. I feel like the Universe sent it to me.
@sixtoomanycats9769 That's amazing! I love when we get little signs like that!
Beautiful!!!!!! 2nd or 3rd to last with the purple dot.
Love the dalacite
That purple one was beautiful!
What's the new,tool called-and love Queen
It's a Cab King, I changed the name lol!
Beautiful!!🤗
These are stunning-perfect for a necklace
Fun video, thanks for sharing! I've always wanted a fairy stone from BC! I am a beginner rockhounder in Nova Scotia. I find beautiful agates, chalcedony, jaspers, epidote and unakite, conifer limb casts, trace fossils...even amethyst if you're lucky! That blue chert is beautiful, Nfld. has nice blue chert too. 😃
I've been to NS it's beautiful there! I didn't find much in the way of rocks though sadly, I must have been at the wrong beach lol! We should do a rock trade 😄
Love the green one
😮 wow very nice!! Such beauty!😊
Fairy stones are? At least which state
I'm in BC, Canada .
They are common in WA state, Vermont, California, west coast areas, India, New Zealand, Canada, are some of the places I have heard about. I found one in SE WI, but they are not common here. Some people call them concretions (or Clay Babies) that are naturally made out of mud or clay, but I prefer fairy or goddess stones.
What's a fairy stone?
It's type of concretion that forms interesting shapes!
@@emlovesagates ah ok lol. Thanks for the reply
Dr. Google says it’s a mixture of calcium carbonate and clay. 😂
Nice banding
I love it! Going to cab it I think 🤔
yeah wow, that banding! I'd keep it in it's natural shape, just, wow lol!
I think the blue piece might be banded chalcedony or agate, is it transparent? The huge mystery chunk could be a pegmatite kspar or a piece of porphoritic granite maybe?
The blue one isn't transparent so I'm fairly certain it's chert (but I'm no expert). The big one I have no idea...I'll have to research your suggestions- thanks!
@emlovesagates you're welcome, I'm still learning too. Good call on the chert, a very pretty stone.
These look like drips.
From the "Whose Your DADDY", moment in Creation!!!
Love these and also Talking H.
With the amethyst rock can you use the rest of the rock without the amethyst in it?? The none shiny parts look awesome as well
It has agate in it, but I think I'm going to keep it as a specimen because it's so cool looking!
Very cool!😊
Love the diff. Lines and texture of these
I'll give a hint...it's a type of jasper!
These are totally awesome-wonder where you found these ha ha
Some special people brought them home for meeeee!
Beautiful
Taking that slice was a great idea!
This is so beautiful-wouldnt think that this was inside a normal looking rock
I want the green one!!😮
There are some goodies in there for sure!
