Hello everybody, it's been a long time since I have posted on this channel. I am now professionally trained and ready to take Study Buddy Studios to the next level... to The Digiverse! I can create highly interactive virtual classrooms for various subjects that play like video games and can connect teachers with students through video confrence calls within the virtual classroom. I am looking for a Canadian university or college to sponsor me to make this happen and I need your help. Please watch my newest upload to this channel, share and leave a comment. Cheers. ua-cam.com/video/P4soBPuFmBo/v-deo.html
Being an graphite moderated reactor I'd say graphite can cause problems sometimes hurt or kill the reactor me being one of them I flat out hate graphite I throw every insult in the dictionary at graphite
Thanks Jim. You should see what I am up to now. Check out my newest upload to see. It is still processing so you might be the first person to see it. Cheers.
I found this via yours! As soon as the 'rona allows places to reopen, I'll be heading to the local museum, to get an idea of what we have here in Northern Ireland.
Thanks for sharing this. I've marked it to come back in late spring and use it to identify the rocks & minerals in my brook. I appreciated your direct approach with information and camera sets.
Honestly thanks this was one of the best videos that I have watched in a long time. I have been collecting rocks and minerals for a long time.. finally I know what I have. Thanks for a great video :)
Not a student, but I found this very helpful! Looking at buying some land in the North Georgia mountains and found some neat minerals and rocks, as well as a LOT of quartz. This helped me with figuring out what some of the rocks I brought home from the land site are!
As a native North Georgian (aka Appalachian American) I hope you have found life good here. A word of caution, if I may. Keeping Pet Rocks has been a popular idea for a number of years. These are truly wild and not meant to be kept as pets. One minute docile and aggressive the next. They can be very protective of humans they are familiar with. I, too, once thought this was a good idea until my Pet Rock, Krystal, attacked my neighbor right between the eyes during an emotional discussion about property lines. Krystal had to be released into a wilderness area. Welcome to North Georgia.
Great video! All discussion aside as to how you got the rocks to spin 🙄😂, it's really cool that you did that. So much more helpful being able to see the rocks & minerals from different angles rather than looking at a flat picture in a book. Awesome job!
The table sits atop a "lazy susan". A common feature in display racks for retail merchandise. A "must have" for the instructional presentations. Thanks for noticing.
I always remember that the difference between limestone and dolostone from a geographers perspective is that the dolostone is like a sponge to water, limestone has a tight interlocking crystal structure and water penetrates along joints and bedding planes. The marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolostone - interesting video, thanks
I studied off of this video and got a better understanding for my lab test. The only thing I would say is if you could label whether they're igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic. I knew some but not all. No worries, I looked it up. But other than that, this was amazing. Thanks so much.
Good evening sir, i found a rock behind our house, i want to know what type of rock is it, im from sierra leone west africa, send me your watsapp number to communicate better please thank you
Very informative video on minerals identification. I am an amateur rock hunter this helped me immensely. If you have videos on rock identification, please upload them
It would be nice if you told us something about how these originate. Like where was this Orthoclase found, how widespread is it, where is it typically, and how is it formed?
Thanks for sharing this informative video on rock and mineral identification! I found it really helpful to learn about the different characteristics to look for, such as color, texture, and hardness. I also appreciated the tips on using tools like a magnifying glass or scratch test to further narrow down the possibilities. As someone who is just getting started with rock collecting, this video gave me a great foundation for identifying specimens in the field. Keep up the great work!"
I'm at Big Bear Lake CA and I'm finding large chunks of pink, white and grey "quartzy" type rocks. They are fantastic! I studied geology a bit 35 years ago and I've forgotten so much. I think these are granite... Maybe a few marble?? Thank you! Great video!
thank you so much the video was helpful but, the minerals and rocks we do in class are sooooo different from the ones in the video. the color and structure always changes i want to be able to identify a arock or mineral just by looking @ it... is that even possible?
Nice concept. Had trouble seeing colors and textures.would like to see more with more info, maybe uses or where they are most often found. Nice job over all
@@SSFCstudybuddy hi buddy i've got a quick query that's been bothering me..may sound stupid mind! anyway with the scratch test is there a certain way to do it, for example quartz having a higher hardness than calcite, if i had a nice flat face on a piece of quartz (amethyst for example) and a piece of calcite with a very sharp point or edge and tried my very hardest to scrach the face of the Amethyst should it be impossible for it to leave a permanent mark or will it scratch it just simply due to the amount of force used? in other words should i just be testing it by gently scratching it instead of with force (i know a knife is lower on the scale than quartz but i just feel like if i really tried to mark that quartz with a steel blade i could even though in theory it shouldn't be able to...thanks buddy and great video! 👍🏻💎
So...I never knew being a geologist or studying rocks was so damn cool. I kinda wanna do it...I've always loved rocks lol but genuinely, I could spend hours rock hunting
You said that quartz has concoidial fracture. I thought that was the smooth curves seen in flint and obsidian in the angle and appearance of a hole in glass made by a BB. Not trying to sound smarty, I'd really like to know. Thanks for the excellent video.
Im learning this for the sheer chance I'm thrown through time and have to rebuild the world. Not having to figure out what raw materials are and smelting them.
Although I'm still in high school but I find it very interesting. I would advice majority of the public to be geologist because it is very important in life. As for me I would love to be a mineral geologist
I admire your passion and the ability to know what you want to learn. It is a bit too late for me (too late in life), so I do encourage anyone who is slightly interested in rocks and minerals to give it a go. I am trying to teach myself now....I love rocks!!
It would be nice if you told us something about how these originate. Like where was this Ortho place found how widespread is it where is it typically and how is it formed
This specimens are in general, some similar specimens have different appearance. For example : pyroxene, sometimes ocured in crystal form. And some others ..
this is helpful for rock hounds as well. i live in the Adirondacks and have seem most of those in my travels, a few i know on sight but a few can be tricky. thanks for posting!
Love this video! I don't have much knowledge about geology but i am interested in it more and more. A few years ago i was lucky to work in Labrador. On a hike, i found some Labradorite, which i was able to bring a specimen the size of half a fist. I was also able to get a sample specimen of Nickel from the mine where I worked. I've had an interest in geology and gem cutting since. Videos such as yours here keeps my interest on the subject. Does anyone have any inside knowledge on the industry? Is a career in geology worth it? Are there lots of job openings or is it a sector with low employment prospects? What type of work does one usually end up doing as a geologist?
Just a tip: try and get your information from reliable sources. There are quite a few inaccuracies in this video. As for your question geology is generally a good field to go into, depending where you live. In many parts of the world most end up working in the minerals industry, either for private mining companies, or for resource management for the government. Many others work in construction or urban planning, or as consultants for this. Some work in natural resource management and environmental management. Some will stay on as academics. Some work in mapping areas, often doing consultancy work. Those are the main fields from my knowledge.
+Desalvo- my apologies. I hadn't realized that somehow, the video and subsequent comment section had changed with the "auto play" function enacted. I sincerely withdraw my comment and apologize for the confusion.
Just on a note I'm curious could we find the same or similar varieties or what kind of rocks,minerals we could find on other planets? What are the depending factors? Thank you
Good day. happy 4th of july may you have many more. hahahaha, Thank you for posting thins video. How did you determine the hardness and gravity of those rocks? what is poricpioritodic?
Hi, I am rock enthusiast and it has been my passion so I can tell you that for hardness we use the Moh's Hardness Test. The first thing you do find a place in the rock that scratching will not matter. Then the first thing you do is to use your fingernail and see if you can scratch the rock and if you can see a line then your rock is a soft rock. Moh lists as an example that talc can easily be scratch. If no mark then you are going to see if a coin can leave a scratch mark. If it does then you have a list of rocks it could be. Next to scratch with is a small knife blade, a piece of glass, and from there a piece of glass. You also can use the rocks that Mohs has on its scale. So if you can can't scratch it with a pocket knife but can with a piece of quartz rock, then looking at Moh's scale you may have apatire?? It isn't rocket science correct but it is a good indicator. I really like the streak test. But I would suggest buying a good rock and mineral book for identification. My favorite is the Audubon rock and mineral guide. It is incredible!! I also love my Eyewiness Handbooks Rocks and Minerals guide book by Chris Pellant and joining a local rock and gem club is really great too!
Hello, thank you for the detailed information about the stone, I am 36 years old, I am not literate, I am very interested in stones, and I wish that someone would teach me and even learn how to cut gems, and I have a question for you, dear teacher, the first quartz stone that is shown in the video Is it possible to have a diamond similar to this mineral? Thank you❤❤
hi, just found a hard round greyish rock covered with somehow looks like rusted rock.I really want to know what this is, please comment if you know. thanks
2nd time watching. Actually learned some information this time, after uncovering the processes of recognizing some gem markings in the rough. Diamonds and Gold beware when I get off this leash!!!
Is a basalt a meteorite i have one that came through our roof about five years ago i always wondered if it hit and bounced off we had it fixed but always wondered if was a space rock.
No to your question, google is your friend for more information on any of these rocks or minerals. There are many websites out there with definitions and pictures of meteorites. Your roof rock could be a meteorite or a piece of satellite that melted on re-entry. See if someone from a local gem or mineral club or university can identify it for you.
Flower gold how do you process it I’ve been trying with the vacuum hose in the loop and loops loops seems to work but then I lose it all too much water flow
So glad I found your channel since I have a fascination with rocks and been collecting them for years but I never knew what I have. Now I do with the exception of 1. Still looking to identify this unusual rock. If anyone can help me I would be most appreciative. Thanks I have subscribed and look forward to watching more
A lady friend of mine had a few stones, she kept showing them to me and each time she showed me one I told her it was Gneiss and she told me I was no help at all!

Wonderful! If I listen to it every day for a month maybe some of the learning will stick. Thanks for posting.
Wish you had been my teacher at school in 1956, a very good and easily understood video, well done!
Thanks Jim. You should see what I am up to now. Check out my newest upload to see. It is still processing so you might be the first person to see it. Cheers.
You are a unique Geologist, the teaching method is exceptional. I learn a lot here. Thanks very much
Yes!
THANK YOU, ONE OF THE BEST DISCRIPTIONS & CLEAR PICTURES I'VE SEEN.
What an excellent video. I love rocks and minerals. I cant get enough of them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
This is so informative! I recently started hunting agates and it's great knowing what else I find along the way!
I found this via yours! As soon as the 'rona allows places to reopen, I'll be heading to the local museum, to get an idea of what we have here in Northern Ireland.

Look at you agate dad you came a long way!
Sure wish I'd had this channel to study, at night, when I was in school--thank you! A super review of some of my fave minerals!
Thanks for sharing this. I've marked it to come back in late spring and use it to identify the rocks & minerals in my brook. I appreciated your direct approach with information and camera sets.

Awesome video. I am mesmerized by the unusual beauty of every stone and rocks. I collect pebbles and stones.
Hi l am fitsum l working mining in Ethiopian working if asking any questions
Nice work. Reminds me of my university days going on Geology field trips. Loved every minute of it.

It is very nice teaching and learning!!!
Especially for geology departement that focus on mineral!!
More than 35 years ago, `I studied geology, but forgot how to identify rocks. Thanks for helping me identify it, with simple steps!
Бывает ,а ещё лучше поможет определить это Тонкий шлиф под микроскопом.
Очень интересный фильм, познавательный.Смотрю и оторваться не могу! Спасибо автору за удовольствие рассматривать эти прекрасные образцы.
I've always been interested in rocks and their various colors but don't know how precious they are until I see this clip.
I absolutely love this, thank you. Time to see-look, hear aboutand think, I love it.

I studied geology a bit 35 years ago and I've forgotten so much.
I think these are granite... Maybe a few marble??
Thank you! Great video!
This video taken form my practical exams is very good thanks to making this video
Great job of compling this, excellent for learning about base geology, thank you!
Wondering where you are from(?) I find it funny when there’s an option of how to pronounce, you say it differently than I do. I love this video!
thank you so much the video was helpful but, the minerals and rocks we do in class are sooooo different from the ones in the video. the color and structure always changes i want to be able to identify a arock or mineral just by looking @ it... is that even possible?
so u mean to say that "experience" is what i need?

I love these things.Great video. Thanks!
I thought gneiss was pronounced "nice"?
it is
it is. he mispronounced quite a few samples
kept calling porphyry, por-pie-ree, smdh
If that's the Scandinavian name, the 'ei' is pronounced like the 'a' in 'dandy'.
I thought it was 'niiss'
We found a sparkling rock at on the sea... I just want to know where we can go for a check.. to know what kind of rock is it.
I wish it also listed the chemical makeup.
sure
Me too but good video anyway.
Angie Lopez वैरी good
yes I agree with you
Thanks for putting up this video. Informative and exciting.
I love quartz it looks beautiful and its so easy to find :DD
Thank you sir . What kind of rock that smells like gun powder its powder?
YES, thank you...for my grandson Monty!
Thank you so much for the video. I have long wanted this kind of video.

I curious how different diorite is from granite? They’re pretty similar and I’ve probably been misidentifying diorite. Good thing I’m just a hobbyist!
Diorite has less percentage of Silica than Granite
It's a wonderful video, but I would also categorize them into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.
Regards!
Thank you so much for your help.... from Marrakesh... Morocco...

hi, just found a hard round greyish rock covered with somehow looks like rusted rock.I really want to know what this is, please comment if you know. thanks
Probably Darude Sandstone.
Now that I think of it my true love is stone and minerals.
2nd time watching. Actually learned some information this time, after uncovering the processes of recognizing some gem markings in the rough. Diamonds and Gold beware when I get off this leash!!!
How can I post a pic of something I would like for you to identify for me?
dawn clements did you get sorted, I've had this same problem, left many comments on different vids and no replies
Many more stones in Pakistan azad Kashmir,
I can't tell if what I'm digging up in the north east USA is quartz or quartzite?
surely i love geology, nice lesson
Is a basalt a meteorite i have one that came through our roof about five years ago i always wondered if it hit and bounced off we had it fixed but always wondered if was a space rock.
No to your question, google is your friend for more information on any of these rocks or minerals. There are many websites out there with definitions and pictures of meteorites. Your roof rock could be a meteorite or a piece of satellite that melted on re-entry. See if someone from a local gem or mineral club or university can identify it for you.
Flower gold how do you process it I’ve been trying with the vacuum hose in the loop and loops loops seems to work but then I lose it all too much water flow
In German, Gneiss is pronounced to rhyme with "nice", and the G is definitely heard. The name "Gneiss" is German in origin. Nice video, by the way.
In portuguese too :)
Is gnome a german word too?

So glad I found your channel since I have a fascination with rocks and been collecting them for years but I never knew what I have. Now I do with the exception of 1. Still looking to identify this unusual rock. If anyone can help me I would be most appreciative. Thanks I have subscribed and look forward to watching more
Lots of info on the web. Try Mindat.com or check out your local gem, mineral, rock club.

Kayla Edwards hello
It would be nice to know the chemical composition of them all. Serpentine, Galena, Lime stone, why is it called Lime ?
A lady friend of mine had a few stones, she kept showing them to me and each time she showed me one I told her it was Gneiss and she told me I was no help at all!
That's funny....lol
