- Hey Gem Fam! So, I just did a thing - I dropped $281 on a whole bunch of rocks, gemstones, and minerals because, why not? We're going to explore this treasure trove together, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm super excited. Imagine all the colors and sparkles we're about to witness. In this video, I'm showing off each piece from my haul, talking about my plans to tumble, cut, and yes, share some of these beauties with you. Because what's a treasure if you can't share it, right?
Now, you might be wondering, "Why should I watch some person geek out over rocks?" Well, first of all, because rocks are awesome. But also, because I'm planning to do some pretty cool stuff with them, like tumbling and cutting them open to see what's inside. It's like a surprise party where everyone's invited.
If you're here for the gems, the laughs, or just because you're procrastinating on something else, consider hitting that subscribe button. Let's make this a regular hangout spot!
Don't be shy in the comments! Let me know your favorite type of gemstone, or just drop in to say hi. I genuinely love hearing from you guys.

Happy Hounding! - Розваги
Hearing another person get just as excited as I do for rocks is phenomenal.
Absolutely. Watching her videos always brightens my day and makes me feel almost normal, 😆
❤I love my rocks
That’s what I was thinking too!
Your enthusiasm over rocks validates my own obsession. Maybe I’m not so crazy after all. 😊
So glad to hear I'm not crazy too. 😂
Absolutely not! Rocks are the best!
I feel like I finally have a family ❤. Rocks, Rock!! Lol
I found my tribe ❤😂
Just don't pray to them or any of that crazy stuff and you're good lol
First... I love your videos.
Second, for the crazy lace. Cut it first and then break off some pieces to tumble. I'm on my final day of tumbling Mexican Craze Lace Agate today... I can't wait.
That was my thought too.
Unbelievable! Makes me want to buy a bunch. Well worth it. Does anybody else notice that most women open packages with scissors while men use a knife?
as an enby i exclusively use pizza cutters
Haha you are so right-I never noticed that!
Well that’s because Women don’t go buy 47 knives they own kitchen knives that’s it
I'd use a house key... Or a knife if it was close by... assuming I don't use brute strength.
I use what is available and I am a female
OMG, the little rock with the face in the background is adorable. And i agree, the sound effects are the best! Ariel is the queen of rock hounds!
Haha aww thank you!!
The best sound effects! What a beautiful bunch of rocks. I can't wait to see them either cut, cut, cut or tumbled. I looks like you made a great purchase. Who knew, a box of rocks.
Thank you so much! It’s going to be such a fun adventure these next several months!
Holy smokes, that crazy lace is amazing… my jaw is hanging open 😮in total awe!
Whatever you decide to do with it will be amazing I’m sure of that.
Thank you so much! It really is such a stunner!!
I just found your channel, and I must say. I am absolutely here for it. You are so much fun to watch.
Those were some top notch sound effects! 🤣🤣🤣
Bahaha I’m glad you liked them 😂
Loved the giant crazy lace agate. Healing properties for crazy lace agate are soothing. Nice channel.
Thank you so much!
Slab the crazy lace!! It's gorgeous!!❤❤
Totally agree!
Ariel, love your craft and love your enthusiasm! I love rocks too!
You have some of the best agates and rocks! This last show $281.00 box was the Greatest!!!!! I wish I had so many of yours
Keep it up!
❤️
Thank you so much!!
Where did you get these? I just came across your channel and already love your personality!
Can't wait too see the crazy lace polished
Right!!! They sent such a beautiful specimen!
That crazy lace agate is phenomena! The Botswana agates with the yellow & that piece of tree agate with the stem & leave designs - well. the whole haul was just incredible - but those were some of my favorites
I loved this so much! It’s so much fun to see the same sense of joy, wonder and excitement that I have ❤
Thanks for sharing your beautiful new collection!!
Also. Loved your sound effects 😅
That crazy lace had every color in the rainbow in it! So gorgeous!
I can see why you spent what you did! My heart was jumping in my chest seeing some of those!!!
Right!! It is going to be a pretty great next several months 🤣
Oh my God, I just geeked out for this whole video like I was opening those bags!!! 🖤🖤🖤
🎉🎉CUT the crazy lace!!!
Another vote for cut!
I super duper enjoy all of your vocalized ASMR, totally something that I would do 😂
Wow! Very beautiful rocks I'm very impressed, truly beautiful!
Cheers!
Love the enthusiasm and sound effects. Can’t wait to see what you do with them.
Gorgeous!! I can’t wait to see the results! I hope you do slabs and tumble of the crazy lace.
Great video, thanks for sharing! I really like the fine details on that crazy lace. Definitely take a couple of slabs!
Bought rock tumbling kits for 2 of my granddaughters on Christmas… They used the kit items, then stopped the process🤔I think I may get myself a tumbler and try it. I live in the Sierra foothills of No CA and we HAVE SOME ROCKS! They are beautiful without a tumble; can’t imagine how awesome they would look after the whole process!’
this takes me back to my own rock obsession days as a little girl... I used to live next to a mineral/gem store that wasn't woowoo and i need to find a nice desk piece for my work office
The pink agates are my favorite! They look like jawbreakers!
Thanks for making rock hunting a "normal", fun, and outdoor adventure!!
Of course! It’s an awesome hobby!
Hi Ariel, this is my 1st time watching one of your videos. You are so cute and funny. The sound affects are "PRICELESS!" I moved to Arizona last June. I'm in love with how many different rocks are here.
I'm from Minnesota... I have been watching Agate Dad.
The rocks are amazing in that package. Money well spent if you ask me.
Can’t wait what to see what you do with them, great!
BEAUTIFUL!!! I can’t believe those agates you got! 0:00
That large crystal agate oh No! Too Gorgeous. I want it so much!! Love your enthusiasm and glad you bought all this. I so enjoyed todays video! I love Agates!!!
Thanks, Linda
So beautiful!
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!
OMG that was a huge spend on rocks but soooo worth it! Those beautiful rocks were just amazing! Green tree agates are some of my favorite and just look stunning tumbles! And that Brazilian agate chunk is just going to be ridiculous when you cut it! And that crazy lace is drop dead gorgeous! I couldn't bring myself to break it or cut it up! I would pay to have it polished as is! And all the Malawi agates babies and large ones are going to be fun! And that sarape jasper is just stunning! Wow! You are going to have soooo much fun! Thanks for sharing your box of rocks with us!❤
Of course-I’m glad you liked it! I am so excited to I can’t wait!!
Already blown away with the beauty in the first bag 😍 now to finish the vid!👍👍
Right!! It was such a great haul!!!
You inspired me to have my own mineral collection, and my collection is really cool so Ty so much!
As a person that really started to find interest in minerals/rocks/crystals Im happy to have found your channel
Haha I appreciate your feedback! Thanks for checking out my channel!
Oh I love your haul!! The crazy lace you should do both a nice slab to capture as much as possible, and some small ones.
Stuning queen 🤣
Yasss queen!
Oh I am jealous lol. This was so exciting to see. I want these too! They are just so beautiful. I was thinking of how many wire wraps I could do just letting the rocks set how the wire wrap develops! Thank you so much for sharing such an exciting surprise!
Lacey - Slices! It seems to me that the more pattern you see, the more beautiful it is!
For the crazy lace...do both. Cut down the middle and make a few slabs from each half...then tumble the remainder either as is, or cut them in half for four pieces to tumble.
That’s a really great idea!
YES I would ABSOLUTELY spend $300 on rocks!! I also find it cute how excited you get about seeing orange lol. We have pretty high iron where I am so everything starts out orange but depending on what I pick up, most of that orange tumbles off
Wow Ariel, what a great haul! That Crazy Lace is fantastic! It's big enough that I would be tempted to cut a slab or two off the best faces and then polish all the cut faces that are on the remainder.
That’s a great idea! I might just do that!
Wow. Cool rocks 👍👍
Agreed!
Crazy lace slabs.!!!!! It's most beautiful ❤
Another vote for slabs!
So beautiful! Lucky girl. I hope you slice the big one then tumble it. Then decide if you want to make them smaller.
Great box of rocks and cool video friend
Thank you so much!
you'd love the natural jasper formations you get on the east coast of australia. there are beaches where i pick up polished bright red stones that you could stick a price tag on and sell as-is. the sand and the water polish them for you, and the gently eroding cliffs reveal bands of jasper and quartz, even the occasional fossil.
Definitely slabs for the crazy lace ❤. The pink Botswana agate is probably my favorite I'm a sucker for any type of banding
The crazy lace would look awesome as slabs, and then if any of it breaks into chunks that will work for tumbling, then give that a go... Such an amazing piece of agate!!
Then it would be the best of both worlds!
Yes sliced up like you said on the one that had so many bands in it but thinner you could make a wind chimes with it
Yeah worth every penny!! I fully enjoy watching your video. Both the beauty of the rocks and also just to hear the excitement and passion these rocks give you. I can fully understand your dilemma not wanting to disturb this beauty as you found them but also want to cut it in pieces just to pry out all the beauty the rocks have. Good luck with all your future rocks. You rockstar! 😂
Thank you so much!!
Good video. Although I love to find them, to get a good selection of rocks you almost have to buy them. Thanks for taking us through your purchase.😎
Slabs for the crazy lace😍
Great idea!
I just spent $400 on rocks at the Rock Shed. If you love rock tumbling like I do, it's money well spent. I wash my rocks off before they go in the tumble, as well. You can see the patterns & colors better, plus you get the dust & litter bits off them
Exactly what I think!
you are a bundle of joy to watch - awesome box opening noises - i subscribed 1 second after making them LMAO !!!!
Haha love it!
Can’t wait for you to open them up ❤️
New subscriber! My son saw a rock tumbler at his school science fair. He decided he wanted to do it so we got one. We stumbled upon your videos looking for help. Watching your videos is becoming our favorite past time aside from finding our own rocks and tumbling them. We also make it up to Duluth a couple times a year and already had a supply of rocks we had gathered for fun. Thanks for the great content. Can’t wait to see you cut the geodes and large agate!
Wow that is so awesome! Thank you!
Love that crazy lace. I'd love to see a bunch of polished slabs, so we can see all the little details inside. I wouldn't want to tumble it, you'd lose too much of the stone that way, and every bit of it is so cool! Same thing with the sarape jasper.
Great idea!
I would definitely slab the crazy lace. Some amazing rocks.
Another vote for slab!
Those sound effects were really funny lol, I loved the tree agate!!!
Haha thank you!
When I was about 10, I got a small single drum Rock Tumbler for Christmas.. I never asked for it. I had no idea you could polish your own rocks. I guess I always liked to buy the little cloth bag of colorful polished rocks in near by Glacier Park.. maybe thats why I got a Rock Tumber for Christmas..LOL When you're that age... Rock tumbling took an eternity, but my dad was just as interested as I was.. he did most of the work. AND then, his brother brought us some Apache Tears, that he had actually hunted in the fields, since we are somewhat Volcanic area. Those were very cool to me. Sooooooo, I'm retiring soon and I decided to buy a double 3lb tumbler, and bought some rough stones on Amazon to tumble. Only in the first week, I'm due to open them up today.. AND, when your this age.. a week went by in 2 seconds..Hahahaha So it will be very fun, I hope. I would like reccomendations on supplies and where to buy the best rocks. I'll search your site of course.. Looking forward to seeing all that there is to enjoy about Rocks. Keep the videos coming. Montana Dave
Just tumbled my 1st batch. They turned out perfect!!
At 6:34 that one reminds me of the colors in a pastel sunrise, just gorgeous!
Are you kidding me with those Botswana agates?! Those are insane 6:42
Dude right!! I was blown away by those!
Wait wait wait wait, I WANT TO UNBOX WITH YOU SOMETIME!!!
Ummmm yes please!!!
Love these so much!!!
Thank you!
Big kick out of your excitement & enthusiasm about shipment slab cuts will be exciting enjoyed the video thanks
Thank you so much!

Best ASMR Ive ever heard 😂😂
Omg, I received a package today🤣❤, I love rocks, that ones are gorgeous❤❤

I ordered rocks from The Rock Shed right after watching this - I am NOT disappointed!!!! I received great stuff!!!
CRAZY LACE SLABS!!❤❤🎉🎉
I too love receiving a box of rocks 😂
Slab and cab your big crazy lace!!!😃
Best $281 ever spent! I can't wait to see how they turn out. I'm so excited for you!!
Thank you so much!
Where can I buy this box
Yes, who did you buy these from?
Wow those are fantastic 🤩💖
Thank you so much!
That was a fun video. You got a really nice assortment and great quality with all of them. I am drawn to Sarape jasper, so I really like that one a lot. I would slab it and the Mexican Crazy Lace or MCL for short. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Yes the sarape Jasper is really pretty!
Awesome ! Haul!!!1
Thank you so much!
I think you should get a bigger tumbler for that Crazy Lace.
Honestly not a bad idea! 😅
Thank u for sharing the rocks
Of course!
very nice specimens - especially the crazy lace agate! now put them back in the box, and send them to me 😂
Haha finders keepers! 🤣
Awesome! Where did you get them? Can’t wait to see what happens after you tumble them!
Right!! I cannot wait!! I got them from the Gem Shop!
@AgateAriel is that an online store
YES! Do you have a link you can share?! @@AgateAriel
Have you ever rock hunted or gotten any rocks from Little Rock Arkansas? My grandmother and aunt moved there when I was little and I used to find so many crystals and loved to find ugly skinned rocks to break open and find gorgeous crystals inside and some were like agates...not being old enough to know anything about minerals I can't say for sure. But I know that there are some awesome rocks to be found there. Arkansas also has a diamond field that the public can dig in...and it produces. I always wanted to go but never got to go. My favorite rock always was the pink quartz that was common in our driveway. I still have one...just one from my childhood that I had put in my old jewelry box. I hope I still have it...but it's in my memories if not. This was soooo fun! You are a wealth of knowledge and I can't wait to see more of what you have in your collection. My favorite thing to do is to watch opal rubbing with Justin from Black Opal Direct...all his come from Lightening Ridge Australia. I enjoy other channels for rock hounds too. So I'm a new sub to your channel!
your last bag, I would take a couple and just polish the banded side because those are amazing, that is what I love about Mother Nature.
That’s a really good idea!
I want some crazy lace!
On the crazy lace giant agate I would do half and half, make half of it slabs the other half chunks and tumble! 👍👍👍👍
That’s not a bad idea!
Hey lady
I was just wondering if you have picked the winner to your tumbled marbles yet?
No?? Oh good!
Whew!
I’m the one with the story of the sweet, clumsy, crazy yellow lab named Bumper. Remember? The sweet lovable pup who had lost his “marbles”
😉😉😉😉
I haven’t! I am planning to wait one month from the post date then I will draw! Yes I loved your story about your lab!
For the crazy lace do some of each.. both are beautiful
Keep the lace agate intact! Beautiful as is...
Not a bad idea!
Don't cut the crazy lace! Tooooo beautiful!
I've definitely spent more money for worse reasons, and honestly I may do something like this soon. I've finally got my tumblers set up and going again after moving last fall, so we'll see how these first couple of runs go. Seriously though, some of these are and/or are going to be absolutely gorgeous by the time you're done with them. Very good haul for the price, honestly. For the bigger pieces that you were stressing about whether to slab or cut up into tumbling sized pieces, honestly I'd say do both. Take two or three slabs from the parts with the most character and then chunk up the rest to throw in the tumbler. I mean, if you get into the first couple of cuts and it's just cool enough that you want more slabs with that patterning, then that's your call of course. You really don't know until you get in there. Either way, I can't wait to see how these turn out
Crush the crazy lace and tumble it you can always get a cut or too as well
Awsome!!!! New fav Channel ❤❤❤ btw, they weote wrong Zarape (with a Z, like Liza hehehe)… the way you said it, was actually really good!!! 😊
Your hapiness!
I can’t tell if I like your sound effects or not but they are definitely funny! 😄
Gonna have to look into selling all my rough.
You should!
I love rocks. Pretty sure I married one. Where do you go to order these kinds of rocks. How much should I pay for a stone sawand rock tumbler? Thank you! Your joy and excitement for rocks is palpable.
Beautiful rocks!!! I would slab that crazy lace for sure tumbles would disrupt all the beauty I think. Also please tell us where you got them I would love to order from whoever it is!
I wish someone hyped me up like this lady with her rocks
Bahaha this is a great comment 😆
Crazy lace agate, slabs, and see if that works. Maybe two. Then tumble some too. so, both..if possible.
So beautiful!! Where would one find these beauties to purchase for myself ?
