  • Today I decided to try rock hounding in Parachute, CO on the Colorado River. Its just another spot on the same river. I did a few interesting finds some what similar to the other parts of the river I've hunted in the past. Most of the material I noticed worth was picking up was Pink Orthoclase Feldspar. Stay till the end to see the slide show of the best finds of the day cleaned up.

    Thank you for producing this video! Most of my route counting is at the southern end of the Colorado river from Yuma north to the Topok Gorge. There are terrific similarities in the rocks you are displaying . At 9:19 you show a Vandard material you identify as Unakite. Wow, that could’ve come straight out of Lake Havasu. It is a beautiful rock flawed by many fractures.
    I wish I could share with you a photo that I took of 60 pieces that I just tumbled. All of them came from the Colorado river down here.

    i was wishing you had stopped and focused at the finely layered rock at 6.17-6:19, not to take it home, just to have a good look at it out of curiosity...oh well, maybe just a sand stone or layered quartz. good hunt.

    • @RockHoundingAdventures
      @RockHoundingAdventures  3 роки тому

      An sorry I just saw this. UA-cam doesn’t always notify me so I try the best I can to keep up with comments. Sometimes I do get the notifications and when I go to respond for some odd reason UA-cam hides them as well and I don’t get that at all 🤷‍♂️.
