1. Beautiful petrified wood in yellow and brown stripes. 2. Lumpy dark rock, green and black and brown. Inside - STUNNING green and black inside! 3. Brown and reddish, shiny, outside. Gorgeous sunset colors inside. 4. Cool, swirls in pink and brown on outside. Inside is beautiful, lovely stripes inside, red and gold. 5. Yes, beautiful on the outside. Inside, chunks of multiple rocks, large and small, in gold, black, red, and tan. 6. Purple outside! Amazing purple circle layers inside. 7. Golden rock outside. And gold, pink, and tan swirls inside. Lovely! Love the photo at the end, of all seven rocks.
I really love all your videos & rocks, because so many are very very similar to ones I have collected. & I so want to learn how to identify all the specifics so I can know if Jasper,agate ,wonderstone etc... just so beautiful & I so appreciate the awesomeness & beauty of them all! Always as I say simply "Wow"! 😯😁⛏️👍
thank you! glad you’re enjoying them, and it’s cool to get an idea what your rocks might be too! i’m always learning, it turns out much of the rhyolite i find is highly silicified, becoming essentially the same material as jasper. light will pass through agate, but not through jasper, so that’s an easy test you can do. almost all the material i’m looking at is microcrystalline quartz of some variety 🙂
1:55 GBP, beautiful pet wood!. If possible, take a thin sla/section of the pet wood and backlight it to highlight the translucency of the agatization of the pet wood. You'll be glad you did. Also use UV on it. Sometimes the results can be spectacular as well.3:55 Believe it or not GBP, I think you've got some more pet wood. This isn't agatized as thoroughly as the 1st one. I think that's the wood grain you're seeing, but it's not blackened completely by manganese, having that beautiful green and some brecciated materials as well. 9:11 Purple eyes! Maybe for seeing in Purple Rain?😅 Or into the infrared at least. Beautiful choices for the week!
thank you! I've shone a light into it to illuminate, but a thin slice would be spectacular I bet! I'm going to save it for when I get an actual lapidary saw that can cut slabs, i think it's too pretty to cut with the tile saw again. I did wonder if it might be pet. wood also! Despite the green and black color scheme, it did just have a look that made me wonder! How cool! :) Definitely for Purple Rain! haha, all sorts of mash-up possibilities
It's taken me a while, but for this area I think I have an ok eye now! The thing that probably helped me the most (if you're in a good area) was slowing down a bit, it seems like the slower I go, stopping, crouching to get a good look at the rocks on the ground, the better stuff I find. A few times I've gone in the rain, and the colors on the rocks really pop when wet (but also mud...and some dirt "roads" turn to mud).

I need to get better at spotting these rocks in the wild!
