@@neskrafe yep, I’m pretty sure it’s degraded chalcanthite. It’s in an acrylic container for that reason

Alamogordo is such a cool place. Loved every day of my time there 👍

There’s all sorts of cool green material alongside chalcedony in the Keweenaw area. It’s a really cool area of the upper peninsula

That’s awesome! I assume one day I’ll get old too and realize “wow I really gotta get rid of some of these” 😅

Yes - thank you for the rundown on the world of whiskey and bourbon. We had a lot of fun! Glad you like the vids 👊

Well hi there! 👋 Just got done emerald mining in North Carolina!

Thomsonite is such a strange and beautiful one

@@TH-ui7yr this comment is a complete wealth of knowledge. I’ve got this added to my map with notes for my next visit. Thank you very much!

Very cool! Yeah, I essentially explored as much of it as I could in a day. It’s a very cool spot

@@JackOfAllTradesButMasterOfNone That summer heat out there is no joke. Stay cool 🙂

@@ThirdPlanetRocks thank you!! 🥺😍 it DOES get pretty damn hot here! Fortunately, it hasn’t hit the 110’s or higher like it did for the past few years. 😳 it’s been in the low 90’s to 103°. 🤔 the highest we got, was 115° last year.

@JackOfAllTradesButMasterOfNone 115 is absurd, I can’t fathom that. There’s a reason I went in winter lol

@@ThirdPlanetRocksyeah, our winters aren’t too bad, fortunately. 😅 it makes perfect sense as to why you came at the time you did! 🙂 Yeah, being here in the summer now, is as close to Las Vegas/Arizona/Death Valley temps. 😳 but yeah, I’ve been trying to keep hydrated. 🙂 Next time you come to El Paso, hit up Chico’s Tacos and Whataburger and other local little sweet spots! ☺️🙂 unless you currently live in El Paso, you can disregard the last part I said. 😅

Thanks for hanging out, glad you liked it!

No, I’ve sadly never been to Hawaii. Bucket list for sure 🙂

@@witherbossbros1157 Thank you for all the geology insight you added. I’m always eager to learn from people with the ability to visualize it like that. Much appreciated 🤙

@@ThirdPlanetRocks Sure thing. I have a degree in geology and during the pandemic found a free textbook on igneous rocks - glad to share with people with people who are interested in learning more!

@@witherbossbros1157 ah, so that was pre-existing bedrock prior to the eruption. I appreciate the geology help - thx!

@@ThirdPlanetRocks Yeah, you can read about that on the wikipedia page on the volcano, but this is true of every volcano.

Yes - and they’re HEAVY. That peridotite is deceptively dense

@@ThirdPlanetRocks Yeah, olivine and pyroxene significantly heavier than quartz and feldspar (granite).

Hey Vikas - that’s awesome brother! I used to tutor chemistry a little bit when I was in college myself. Master’s Degree is impressive!

​@@ThirdPlanetRocksElder brother, I also want to become a gomologist, please guide me, it will be great for you.

@@jibbyjabbatv The ones from Alamogordo make you feel funny if you hold ‘em

That would be glass from the nuke. If it is from a meteor hitting the ground the glass is called tektites.

@@markrouse2416 looks like men & women will be wearing peridot jewelry in the future.

Haha thank you - I believe we discovered piezoelectricity before patenting the toilet paper roll. Might wanna fact check me on that though 😅

Have always wanted to! Do they allow sluices on the shores or hand pan only?

❤️🙌

You should see some of the places I’ve been barefoot 🫣

The counter filmed in this video is actually in the Thomsonite Inn. They gave me a lovely tour of the cliffs as well. Feel free to make a better video on your channel showing folks how it’s done

Of course! Itching to get back up to Minnesota sometime soon

Because I was living in an SUV and happened to be there. Make the most of what you got

The distraction was immediate and I just kinda wandered off. Good day indeed!

Yeah the rock ID app is… flukey at best. That’s cool your husband found that. If it’s glowing in the sun, it’s likely chalcedony or a carnelian

What mine is it ?

No, it’s in Ontario, Canada Blue Point Amethyst Mine

Agreed! I want to fully map it. That final section I was in seems to to back quite a bit further.

Looks to be in the backcountry for sure. We’re in Vegas and love doing camping trips to places like that. Love the videos man!

@@imsofrikenbored thank you! Makes all that driving worth it haha

Michigan is paradise if you're into lighthouses!

That’s what it’s all about 🙂

Oh yeah, agreed on that tip. Sunset agate hunting on Lake Superior is second to none. Didn't want to get stuck in that creek in the cold dark though haha!

@jenniferd.holmes5480 If you're serious about the creek, send me an email and maybe we can get in touch! :)

I need a place to take the kids rock hunting !

It's some pretty cool stuff. I can't imagine the kind of pieces that came out of the rock faces where people were chiseling at the hilltops.

@@ThirdPlanetRocks I looked down below but also went up to some of those rocky cliffs that stuck out, definitely bigger pieces up there 👍

@@MegaDeathGiver I’m jealous. I gotta go back 🙌 So glad you got some fun out of the vid

Yeah, that hot spring was awesome. A close second for me would be fifth water hot springs near Provo, UT. Have to compete with quite a few people for a spot though

@@ThirdPlanetRocks I have heard of Fifth Hotsprings, never been there. Not a big fan of crowds. That said, I have seen 8-9 people in the spring with the rock surround. That's a crowd!

@@metaglypto Haha that is quite the crowd in that little spring! I’m with you on the crowds. That’s why I’m often alone in these videos 😅

Yeah he was a nice dude! Scared the life out me though when he ran out to me on a secluded beach

Thank you, that means a lot!

Love your searches along these Lake Superior beaches to find stones. Have only been to MI once in mid-1960s to visit family. It was long before I knew about anything about agates, jaspers, etc., in these waters/on these beaches. Enjoyed hunting 'with you'! Thanks for sharing.

@joane.landers9151 I can only imagine how much you could find on the beaches in the 1960s! Lots more picked over these days. Glad I could bring you along 🙂

@@ThirdPlanetRocks I'll watch for your videos and 'travel' along with you.

@@joane.landers9151 I love that! Thank you 🙂

Had a buddy stationed there for a few years. Lots of great rocks around if you head into the NM side

Thank you!

College flashbacks 👀

Same bro!

Beautiful stuff out there by El Paso
