Garnet Amphibolite
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- I actually really like this stuff. I liked it enough to go back and help myself to a second serving of it. Most of it is solid enough to get some slabs out of and even in its raw state it's really pretty.
You can find lots of really interesting rocks and minerals just like this just sitting in the public right of way if you start training your eye to look for things as you drive around and couple that with some of the geological research that we have talked about many times on this channel.
Thanks for watching.

Garnets are an overlook and underrated stone,they are like the diamond that couldint ! Interesting fact microsized white garnets,aka luco garnets are found when looking for diamonds
Neat stuff. It will look good as a cab. I have done several. Brave Sara, left in the car while you go play. 🤪 Be safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Black, gray and pink really are nice together, especially with all the sparkle! Jared, fastest rockhound in the west! Thanks for the fun, take care.
I've done that, see an interesting ROCK pull over with hazards going to check it out. Cool video showing the tiny garnets.
What ever kind of rocks that people like should go for it. What ever makes you happy 😊
Love it! It seems I need to expand my searches since I usually just look for CBA's. Thanks!
CBAs are cool but with so much amazing material around why limit yourself.
In VT it's mostly used for crushed stone material on gravel roads. Our garnets are pea-sized and well formed. They wont release from the host rock like a mica schist would (also common on the roads here), but it can be used to make garnet sand; an abrasive material for tumbling/polishing.
Always great to see where you're finding all your cool rocks!
Thank you.
Interesting I usually find garnet in creeks in my gold pan always really small but cool , awesome adventure find garnets on roadside , thank you for sharing 💙😊
Getting down and dirty! Lol, just be careful! Metamorphic like caterpillars to butterflies 🦋!
Awesome!! Garnets are one of my favorites as you can tell haha. I would have thought amphibolite would be harder to polish but that looks pretty nice🙂
Cool adventure yup stop and grab done that a few times some beautiful slabs awesome thank you
Sara’s new job. Getaway driver. 😝 I have one garnet and one piece with garnets still in it. One of my favorites.
That sure can be pretty. She's the best getaway driver.
The way you were describing the trip I thought you were gonna tuck and roll out of the car lol. Nice haul for a short pick though!
Now I regret now doing that.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding hahaha, there’s always a next time. 😉
This stuff is all over my mom's property. I'd love to send you some. It's blue, purple, green, yellow, orange. I'm new to this hobby and have metamorphic outcrops galore to explore and research. yay!
That's very kind of you, but I so many rocks already!
I would love to have some of that. Looks like a very beautiful rock.
Its fun material for sure.
Ya know if the materials your making coasters out if is brittle then you just brush on a few layers of clear epoxy resin to firm it up and seal it together. Put a felt backing and boom coaster or pen set. Just put a nice polish on the stone as much as possible first then polish up the epoxy finish once it's all dry. :) And I agree, the pink and black is beautiful. That is for sharing your adventure.
That's interesting I have never worked with clear epoxy resin to bond thigns together but that sounds like a fun project.
Those are amazing specimens.. my daughter and granddaughter are January Birthday girls so Garnett is the birthstone.

I’m excited to do a second trip to Montana this summer for rocks and fossils of the Cretaceous period. We are going to do a trip to places to dig fossils and bones at Baisch's Montana Dinosaur Digs,Paleo prospector and the Montana Dinosaur Center | Bynum, Montana.
Crazy enough that you can find limestone sea floor and other tiny fossil’s and fauna rolling down the Missouri River in Montana. Best place for a cheap trip is to talk to the individual who owns the blue jewel mine over on the Eldorado Bar.
A little different but quite cool. Havagudun Jared.
Thanks, I think its some nice materiel.
I've had a piece of this since the 90's when I was a kid. I never knew the name of the rock that held my precious little peppercorn sized garnets. Thank you!
P.s. I got mine from the greater Wenatchee area.... somewhere lol
It sure is pretty stuff isn't it!
Absolutely
Awesome!!
Nice video!!
Thank you.
I like the pink and black, as well as the rhodonite you have. Thanks for showing us. P.S. I hope the ribs are mending.
Thank you. I have been feeling much better.
Fun material! Textured pink on black is so cool. I’m curious how small you can make a cab?
Other people can make them really small but I still mostly make larger cabs still.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding I ask because a cool stone cab would make a great soft shutter button top for a camera. ETSY has some nice ones that use rocks of all sorts. The appeal is aesthetic but also a grounding of sorts.
@@DanFarrar I didn't even know that was a thing. I will have to look into that some.
That’s interesting material, I found some similar to that yesterday at s location I pulled over at and did a small video I posted. I think I’ll be going back to scout it out. Thanks for sharing this. Curious if I found same stuff
I just watched that short video of yours at that location. It's really pretty. It could be the same stuff.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding I’m going to go back in about a week to look for more
I like that material. I would like to cut some cabs of that stuff.
So Is this a super Hero rock? With metamorphic properties, LoL
Lol that's pretty good.
I would love a cab from that rock! Let us know when you’re ready to sell! Even free form.
I don't think I will ever be selling rocks.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding I agree. The wieght of them can make it quite spendy.
That was SUPER boring man! Just kidding, love me some garnets of all sizes and colors
Thanks man. I like the red and black color you can get in these slabs.
Sometimes I will cut the host rock, make specimen stands out of it.
Is there Mica site present
There's no Mica at this site but in the region there sure is.
Awesome
I will try polishing ANYTHING! Just saying!!
Hey I have an amazing specimen I would love to show you with green garnets and some other blue gems etc is there anyway I can get ahold of you to get your thoughts! Trust me it’s a beautiful stone
You can always email me a photo at currentlyrockhounding@gmail.com
@@CurrentlyRockhounding Awesome! Maybe you can further expand my mind lol
