    It must be a nice feeling to think that these stones were closed for millions of years and now you open them to show their beauty. How they smell. This smell was closed and now it is spread in the air. It is like another creation. It is wonderful.

After watching all you guys do with rocks, I am now looking at the "art", I so much more appreciate what y'all provide for us armchair rockhounds! I have never understood how anyone could sell what we find lying around along streams, etc. Needless to say - - I would PAY for gladly for how you take "just plain rocks" and reveal their inner beauty to others.

    I am a newly, but that third one - - I thought for sure that if you would cut exactly where you ended up cutting that it would be fantastic! You did, and it WAS! All of them are just beautiful ... I wish I better understood about the minerals involved that create so much beauty and awe.

  • @nicolepinkham4241
    @nicolepinkham4241 Рік тому +1

    Ok so, JUST YESTERDAY, before I watched your video, I was going through a batch of newly finished tumbled rocks of my own, and I ran onto one of those “magic” green rocks. I even thought the word “magic” in my head as I was looking at it. It’s so cool! It’s shiny and looks like a hard candy shell, but it still somehow absorbs water to temporarily change the color. Ive never seen anything like that either. I need to find more!!! So needless to say, when I saw your video, my jaw dropped to the floor after you discovered yours! If you find out anything more on those rocks, let us know! Thanks for all your fantastic videos!!!

    I'd LOVE to see a piece of jewelry made from one of your finished stones, perhaps an elongated oval cabochon ring!!! Are you able to do that???
    It's always fascinating to see what's inside those "rocks!" I've been a rock hound ever since I was a kid. Mom never had to look far for me; I'd be at the shale pile at the bottom of our driveway or the strip mine across the road where there were acres & acres of shale! Funny, I never found anything there, but found lots of good stuff at the bottom of our driveway, particularly my fern fossil!!! I'd sit there for hours on end, splitting open the layers of shale until one day I hit the jackpot...an exquisite fern captured inside stone for eons...one side held the fern itself, the other half contained its imprint!!!
    While I lived in Utah, a bunch of us rock hunting enthusiasts found a guide who took us to a spot near the Green River in Wyoming where he said we'd probably find moss agate, perhaps some coral and maybe even some turquoise! Didn't find any coral or turquoise, but came home with a whole backpack full of moss agate!!!
