In Vermont, much of the Green Mountains that run up the center of the state, are made of greenschist. We have all the minerals you mentioned, plus a belt of associated chlorite minerals. Perhaps some of the same forces raised the greenschist and formed our fault block mountains that are composed of it. Very interesting video.
Great job as usual Nick. Always enjoy your presentations whether on UA-cam,PBS,livestreams or field trips. Congratulations on your recent award,you certainly deserve it. Thanks for all you do. Tim aka Dennis
So glad to see a series on the most northern WA mountain area... and as always Love Nick!! And LOVE the drone and camera-work, first rate and talent! WOW AGAIN Gary Paul is a field producer too. And I was just wondering if Nick was going to pay Gary a visit since this is Gary's back yard!! Pays to read the credits. I call Gary the Obi Wan of the Back Country!! Hello Gary!! Do you have a calendar out this year? Nick should create a calendar also!
Why is this show not sponsored by the Washington tourism board? I just binged this series and added 10 spots to my list of places to visit. With its classy cinematography, it’s a great advertisement for the beauty of the PNW.
then near white chuck mountain i drove on rat trap pass and followed the white chuck river to kennedy hot springs below glacier mountain .... a while back... shuksan was said to be the most photographed mountain in the states
Hi Nick, love your work, the short and the long shows. I wonder if at some point you might mention the olivine/dunite associated with Mt. Shuksan. Thanks
So conservative...sadly...too conservative here Nick! There's ample, good weather helicopter landing sites there on Mt. Shuksan, instead, however, you chose to talk about "oranges using apples" going to another green schist site...disappointing Nick. You've got competition now from other Western States, Field Geologists, Nick who are starting to one-up you... Sure you have some who regularly attend your talks, watch your videos...fossils mostly, sadly. I'm 78, so I know a blue-haired fossil when I see one Nick. If you want to stay relevant, please, get some BOLDness into your field trips. Thanks Dr. Nick.
Thank you, Nick, KCTS 9, Pacific Science Center, CWU, and everyone involved in the production of Nick on the Rocks! 😊

Thanks Nick! We were up there last summer and those rocks are GORGEOUS....
Last year I enjoyed watching the Schmidt Ocean Institute explore mid ocean rift zones, thinking " with luck, and some time... BOOM! A mountain! 😂
Very interesting thank you
Loving these mini episodes, thanks to everyone involved.
I remember when Nick went to these places with Backcountry Gary over the summer time on his youtube channel
I think Backcountry Gary is in thr credits at the end. 😉
There is some of this green stone in the cresent basalt. I found fully formed phantom quartz with epidote in this stuff out that way!

What an extraordinarily and unnecessarily toxic comment to leave. Found a wild Karen!
So why don't you pay for the helicopter to take him there?
What nonsense is this? Geology and learning isn't a competition.
What a dork
