You found a few nice ones there! I especially like the ones with moss in them. The green rhyolite is pretty, even if it didn't contain agate. Fun, thank you for taking us along!
What a fun hunt! Felt a little bad for your poor digits in the chilly water, so was glad to hear that it warmed up a little. The occasional bird calls and the look at the mountains through the clouds were real treats. Very much agreed, the jasper will probably polish up very nicely. (Was that a bit of tiger striping in it?) The small agate nodule with the ghostly banding in it might, too, especially if it might have some of those white lace structures. Definitely enjoyed your post-cut photography again, especially of the mossy agate. It's great to see the spatial world inside the rock. Thank you for showing that. The host rock rhyolite is gorgeous! Does it usually have those sprays of tan flecking in the green? Are there pieces out there that show the motion of the rock? It's really beautiful. Thank you for taking us along on this adventure!
Your little jar is milk glass, probably holding face cream, maybe Ponds Face cream. Seems like they this used all over the world! I have found many of these and yes, it is old. Beautiful agate and jasper finds on this cold grey day, Mamlambo . ☺️

Thanks so much!
The crack makes a great contrast layer.
Hahhaa it does! I'll still give it a polish though 😀
All that freshly disturbed gravel makes me so jealous. I would go back when the sun is out! Happy hunting!

Thanks so much for the great comment! Glad you enjoyed the video. I've ordered some polishing material so hopefully I can do those agates justice!

Yes ponds face cream jar.
Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it :)
We find a whole heap of those green rocks up here in gizzy. My father use to throw them away 😂😂😂 he was grumpy our dad lol
That green rhyolite (or whatever it is) is nice! Looks great!
I think green rhyolite is quite unusual so that's definitely a "keeper"!
I didn't know you had this channel! I'm a rock hound too! Nice Agate finds. I love Jasper. 👍❤️
I don't post as often on my rock channel :) Will do a bit more now that I have a rock saw. Thanks for watching!
@@mamlamborocks Absolutely! Look forward to future rock cuts.
Awesome video I have to say that mossy agate is really nice!
Thanks!! I do like mossy agates!
awesome finds, wish I could go out more often to look for things myself
Thanks so much!
Great video.
So nice to watch a new zealand rock hunt.
Thanks so much Nicola! Enjoying your videos as well 😀
@@mamlamborocks oh yay, I'm so glad you watch mine too.
Jasper with a fossil, I'd be impressed ;) lol
Me too! I wonder if you get sedimentary jasper?
Try Lee's valley before 2nd bridge on left hand side. There is a lot of green stone there just over the edge of the road.
For the rock at 2:53 the seam looks like common opal maybe.
Yeah I agree! There is common opal at that spot so could well be!
Just watching your vids bro
I appreciate that!
Where did ya bet the stone cutter mate? I need to cut my agate too
I use a tile cutter from mitre 10 :)
I got it second hand, they are from Redwood Engineering but cost quite a bit new!
Could you please show us some more of your cut slabbed agates & stones? Would love to see the results of the Treasures you’ve found!
I'll do that, I've been lazy as my garage is freezing 🥶
Hi there are you in hororata¿I'm keen to catch up with you if possible please ☘️☘️
I don't live there but go and check out the rivers now and again.
