Rockhounding

I'm carving some quartz I found.

Cabbing a moss agate.

I'm carving a face into one side of a piece of petrified wood.

Hunting in Southern Oregon for scolecite. We found some interesting amygdules while we were out. These formations have cavities that are infilled with secondary minerals such as calcite, quartz, chlorite, or one of the zeolites. Support the channel and get discounts on supplies.

It's Rock Chop time! We are cutting into material that was hounded with The Rogue Rockhound. (Another Oregon Rockhound) Hiking around Southern Oregon has been a blast. We collected great-looking Agates, Jasper, Crystals, Sagenite, and Quartz. Let's get some test slices and see what's inside.

This project is dedicated to friends, family, and the games we share. It doesn't matter if it's board games, card games or video games, it has been a great way to stay connected. In order to complete this quest I needed to gather several distinctly different colored rocks. In Oregon, rock hunters have lots to choose from.

Rockhounding in the aftermath of the Obenchain fire. We saw an unburned tree chunk surrounded by char. What kind of wood doesn't burn in a forest fire? Petrified wood! It was way too big to haul out by hand. This gigantic piece was an amazing find.

I'm back and cleaning off some different finds. This time I use the textile gun on some druzy crystals to see if I can make them shine. Oregon Rocks! Cheers and good luck hounding.

I ordered a textile gun to clean some Jasper, Agate, Petrified wood, Quartz, and other minerals. During the video, I demonstrate why it's important to wear protective gear. In addition, I was cleaning some jasper and revealed a bone-like structure. The textile gun worked well on hard to reach spots. 9/10 would use again. Cheers and good luck hounding. Pick up a textile gun and try it out for yourself. - https://amzn.to/3kpryxM Get a 10% Discount on lapidary tools - https://hitechdiamond.com?aff=46​ Art merch - ApeMods.redbubble.com
