Talcum is the lightest rocks

I got a sample of Gilsonite around 50 years ago when I was in the "Mineral of the Month" club. You would get a mineral and a fact sheet about the mineral.

I like what i learned about utah minning . Quite informative. But i dont think we'd get along. Thanks for the knowledge

Always wondered what that rock was! Nice to finally know!

Guessing pumice or tuff.

Wow! I mixed a lot of gilsonite in mud tanks on drilling rigs and now I know where and how it came to be. Thank you so much for the deep explanation concerning it. I subscribed today and look forward to watching and learning from you.

This was a great introduction. Many thanks and ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️

Thank you Heather. I'm in the UK and recently discovered your channel. I home school my 17 year old daughter and we are studying geology (both passionate about it) and your channel is proving very useful for us, so thank you.

I know you don't care; but be less of a Lib to keep viewers...

Never heard of it but ive held some.

Petrified wood?

those formations are fossilized ancient trees....and the black rocks are petrified charcoal....the quartz is fossilized tree sap

A dome vent and dyke. If it's igneous. Looks light in colour, so Rhyolitic in nature, felsic iron and silica hence staining rusty rock. That's possibly a fault in the background too.

Thanks!

I’m all for turning the control of the Americas back to the indigenous peoples. I would gladly return to the land of my ancestors, Ukraine.

1:08, what ????? 😲🤔 This looks like very ols buildings, 😮😮😮

I live in northern San Diego County. I've read that the best minerals to look out for in this area are pegmatites, but I wasn't sure if I had found them or not. I think that I may have a few times based on the large size of quartz that was in them. I suspect that I've found some with very small tourmalines of black and pink, but I'm not that good of a rock hound yet to be certain that they are tourmalines.

Who did the indigenous people get the land from? Native Americans got their land from killing or driving off the previous inhabitants; a process that was repeated for thousands of years.

Granite intrusion?

If it's a solidified hydrocarbon, then it can be burned just like coal, I would imagine; and speaking of COAL, during the Weimar hyperinflation of 1922-1923 coal was the most valuable commodity because the winter of 22-23 was the harshest on record. A small bucket of coal could be traded for a big handful of Silver coins.

It looks like asphalt that's had the volatiles cooked out of it.

I have no idea what type, but it looks like coal. I got to see plenty of that from the old mines in Nova Scotia. I was able to get a great tour in an underground mine

Thank you! Today I learned about Gilsonite. Never heard of it.

Cheer~~a hard, dark, opaque rock composed of silica (chalcedony) with an amorphous or microscopically fine-grained texture. It occurs as nodules (flint) or, less often, in massive beds.😊

!(: THANKS ;)!

Looks like volcanic lava.

Dang sweetie you're huddled under a big umbrella, huh? Well from what I've seen with this video, & it being my 1st video of yours. You're fitting very very well under that umbrella. Keep up the outstanding work.

Cry me a river about the woes of the "Native" people - they are actually descendants of immigrants thet pushed out earlier tribes. That gets YOU a 👎

Looks like a slump. That it fell from the hillside when saturated.

Its technically glass 🔜🔜🔜🔜 will be diamond ⏳⏳⏳🔚🔚🔚🔚

I also live in Emery county and have a nice collection of rocks but I know nothing about most of my rock garden would love to chat with you about some interesting rocks that to me look man made some of these rocks are massive

You are being just too goddamned cute, holding off on your mystery of what is the black rock. Definite downvote

Was a Gillsoite miner and may have missed it but make up especially eye liner is Made from Gillsoite. I was amazed going in the earth and seeing the same formations that are in the Grand canyon.

These are awesome and super helpful! Thanks from a daughter and father 🙂👍

I don't know, I grew up in Utah between 1952 and 1971 and the only Black Rock I knew of was a big rock formation at Salt Air!

Gilsonite

siderite concretion

Love it!!! What a blast to rock hunting! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I was just there hunting as well.

New sub here very informative cool content ❤

Unfortunate our treatment of the indigenous people.

Did the earthquake set off the landslide or was the landslide seen as a earthquake? Never could figure that one out.

I found a bunch of these in central Wyoming when I was in college about 14 years ago. It was the first time i had ever found something on the ground that got me excited about geology. I've been picking up rocks ever since.

We have seen Gilsonite on several occasions and when we have examined it we could see that it wasn’t coal. Now we know. Thanks.

It is on my list of places to visit. Hopefully within the next year or two

It is nice to see an option without a subscription. Thanks for sharing

My guess is a sill

Sorry that you glossed over the theft of the Ute land for the mining industry.

Interesting! I had heard of Gilsonite, probably in college geology classes initially and then while working for an oilfield services company 10-15 years ago. I had no idea of its usefulness.

Basalt?

Basaltic intrusion from a volcanic fissure.
