Hunting for Rock Specimens #rockhounding
I'm on the hunt for colorful rock treasures...semi-precious stone gems in high quality agatized form. Come along with Chopper and I on this exceptional rockhounding adventure! I found such great gravel bed treasures. From colorful chunks of Montana petrified wood treats to world class agates and quality banded jaspers. You'll see quite a variety of finds, including some colorful red petrified wood, agates with fortification banding, dendritic montana agates with inclusions and a huge chunk of petrified wood just for Drogon, my 18 inch slab saw! Looking to learn about Yellowstone River agates? This is a publication from 1972 by a man named Paul Fry. This was the very first literature I read when I was learning about Montana agates. It is called "Meanderings of a Montana Rockhound" and it is priceless: https://pdf4pro.com/view/meanderings-... Here is another page with great information on Montana Agates by Jim Landon called "Montana Agate: The Best Catch on the Yellowstone River" : https://www.rockngem.com/montana-agat... For all those asking, I do not sell my rocks. As my supply permits, I do rock trades. So, if you have some nice specimens you think I would like to add to my collection, we can trade via any size flat rate post office box. Or, if you are an artist or have something else you think I would like, that's an option too! Please be patient as I have lots of emails and sometimes miss some. If you are wanting to purchase some Montana rocks, I have listed the Stores below of two fellow Montana Rockhounds KatyDidRocks and Theo Kellison, great friends of mine. As far as places I rockhound, greater than 90% of the time I utilize PUBLIC fishing access spots on the Yellowstone river. KatyDidRocks has a great book out on all the places us Montana rockhounds like to go on the Lower Yellowstone River: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1089523180 While you are there, check out her store! She has some fantastic Montana rocks for purchase. KatyDidRocks Etsy Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/KatyDidRock... Also, if you follow Theo Kellison on Youtube, another fantastic Montana Rockhound, he has an Etsy Store with rocks for sale as well: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SticksandSt... Thanks for following and Rock On! Best of luck on all your hounding adventures. Here are some affiliate links to anything I have been asked for by my subscribers or people who have watched my videos.
