    That weathered piece at 13:55 really is a stunner. So much character to lose if it gets polished up (although that would be fun too). I grinned when you said you might just keep it as is-- fun to see someone as experienced as you are contemplating material that might be difficult to improve.

      Thanks for watching Cliff! I still haven’t decided what to do with all of them but I expect a couple will remain unharmed 😁.

    The penultimate (2nd to last) almost looks like Mexican Flame Agate. Your last nodule looks like it broke then slid a couple of inches, the healed back together. Yes, this bucket is a very nice collection and I look forward to seeing all the slabbing videos.

      @@master-n-teachvirgo8557 I have the same issues just started RH this spring. It's hard-to-find info/videos online of them in natural state, so you know what to look for in the field. I have learned a lot from this channel.

    Wow! Really nice finds…I would have a tough time figuring out a favorite. I really want to see what is in that agate nodule. That bizarre white one with the green that wouldn’t wash off…I would keep that one as a specimen.

    You’d be hard pressed to call any of them agate. They are lovely, but not agate in my books! Just be aware that the bright yellow may be carnotite, autinite or gummite, all uranium minerals and all radioactive. I might be wrong, but check them out in case! Great videos!
