@@AncintArt2ndColony Glad you enjoyed it, and glad my mom picked it up somewhere in her travels. 🙏

@@JnVrockhounding Thanks. I love it also. My mom is just reminding she has rocks and asking what things are. Mom and my family all live together so I've seen the rock before but never paid attention. I thought it had been amethyst until I really looked at it. She now wants me to cut some of her pet wood. Cool mom.

@ yup

@@Betty-RockBetty Thanks and yeah, after this it was in my head all night. And it was raining here so when I woke it looked like grape cool-aid outside...nah, j/k it wasn't purple rain. 😆

@@RHAHEHSHDHDH No better words have ever been written 😁

It's so special that I needed to see inside. Went to a friend's house yesterday with a lapidary shop and cut it on her saw. It's even better opened and now it's a beautiful display. That should be coming soon. Big day of editing today.

@just-one-more-rock nice, looking forward to seeing that beauty!

Hey Betty. Thank you for always watching and commenting. You're the best 🫶

@ Thanks Fred 😀

@@LezBeRockin73 I'm glad you enjoyed and thank you for commenting as always 😊

@@CityRockhounding Yep, rocks at your fingertips when you can't get anywhere else. I trying to do the cuts in the same video of the ones found, whenever it comes together right. Thanks

Quite a glower on this one. Got a fluorescent purple calcite coming soon to a short near you. 😁

Thanks my friend ✌️

I always appreciate your comments and I didn't look it up, you did, and then told me. I didn't know that so you taught me something. Sounds pretty helpful to me. Thanks buddy.

@@OhioEddieBlack Those are all great things to consider. I do have a display of sorts. I bought an antique metal scale that I thought it would look great on. Kind of an old time western mining feel. I've very curious as well. I was leaning towards a cut rather than a break because I thought if it were all druzy then it's less solid, and I'd fear it breaking into small chunks. I felt like cutting it would almost be like a giant geode or Thunderegg. The one thing I know I'll be doing is getting it weighed, after that, still unsure. Thanks for your comment and welcome to Just One More Rock 😊

@@Betty-RockBetty Fantastic huh. Then you'll love the purple calcite that's coming up soon. Thanks

@@AncintArt2ndColony It is, and the face caught me off guard when I watched the video. I didn't see it at the time of recording. Creepy 😬

@@just-one-more-rock yup, it happens !

@@yaydadcooking I know, and it's crazy because with all the creatures of earth that see in different spectrums, and us humans would have missed this invisible beauty if we didn't figure out how to harness uv light. It's a cool rock, but it seems a shame that without uv lighting, we would never know.

I know. That is what it is, but yeah... trying to hit all the keywords with the title. That was funny but I know why it was always out of focus. He was in the shower, so he must have been streaming...too much water on the lens. See I just brought it back to PC 😁

@just-one-more-rock 🙄

Thanks, I had forgotten I had it. It's been in my room that's supposed to my office but it's more of a huge storage closet. It was sitting on a shelf with my uranium glass collection that I'd light up from time to time and when I came across it again, I thought you'd all like to see.

@@thatwaseasy4065 Hey thanks for the info. Im on the other end of the state, and Ashland is a 7 hour trip each way. That said, my brother and sister live in Ashland and my brother hounds. I'll have him check it out and report back. Maybe he'll gather some of that material and send it to me to look at on a video. I appreciate it. Thanks for sharing.

@Bongus. I'd love to get it cut also. I'm going to join my local rockhound club to see if I can make contacts to help in that direction. I'm excited for part 2 as well. Thanks

@@AncintArt2ndColony Yeah, you like it? It is a wonderful piece off a beautiful boulder that is even more amazing. Thanks

​@@just-one-more-rockya man ! ✅ Definitely Is it like a big plaquet ? This piece looks worked into an axe or something, but sometimes stones break just right . Some even have prefabricated cuts to make it break in such a way ! How big is the big piece of this material !?

It actually broke off while I was rolling it. It naturally broke off. The main boulder is somewhere between 150 to maybe over 300 pounds. I have no idea yet but it's huge. Check out the full video if you want to see the giant. Thanks

@@AncintArt2ndColony Agreed, there's calcite running through the host rock creating the "lightning" Thanks

@@Betty-RockBetty I don't have any yet but if I split it that's how I'd do it. I'm really scared to go that route though. What of it cracked up into pieces. My dream would be to find that massive saw to cut it and would be either full of druzy aor or it's solid and takes to a wonderful polish on both halves. And even though it's my Precious, I feel like it should be somewhere that people can see it. Well see. You know what they say...If you love something, let it go. Thanks Betty

@@Mummaearth Good idea. Getting this video out will at least start some conversations. I definitely don't want to make the wrong decision but I'd live to cut it. The idea of these two massive pieces faced polished seems amazing, unless it's a full of something better. Whatever the choice, my adventure is your adventure as well.

@@AncintArt2ndColony Agreed, I think that one is pushing it's way to the top of my project list. The ever growing list.

@just-one-more-rock it's like a Ruby Red ! Rubellite !?

@AncintArt2ndColony or possibly garnet. Garnet can be in quartzite and I've heard we have red garnet in areas in Washington and Oregon. Maybe the mineral formation will show under magnification after polished.

What's up brother just got into rock tumbling but I mostly do gold prospecting in cabin building lol I do it all

@jeremycanterohioprospecting Jeremy I assume. Hey thanks for stopping in and dropping a comment. I'm glad you did because I'm looking to do some panning this year to see how it goes. I think I'll see if you can teach me anything since I took a look at your channel and see you got something to offer. Cool. I like building stuff as well, although I never know what I'm doing when I start. I just have an idea and run with it. I've got an outbuilding in the works structured by pallets. Free pallets saved me a lot of cash. Hope to hear from you again. Fred

@@yaydadcooking It's a lifer for sure. I'd assume, never again. We were very lucky that day.

It's a beast, right? I couldn't live to find that because I wouldn't even know that would exist. My mind has pondered for hours where it was formed, how many years old, how many miles traveled, how it's still in one piece and all the while spending its life being river tumbled smooth to make it just about a quarter mile from the ocean. Crazy, absolutely crazy.

Save it till it splits more,there could be gold in that crack tho. It's a tuff decision I bet.

@@WOODnCHROME Sometimes I look at it and think it's too cool for me to be the only one looking at it. It's nice to share.

@@WOODnCHROME Wouldn't that be a nice surprise. I've looked at it nearly every day for over a year and I still go back and forth on it. That's why I like knowing what you all think.

@@RickSmith-kp3sy I'm addicted bro. I'll tell more of the story in part 2, but I still went out and looked more and my Just 1 More Rock came from a small carnelian piece. You're brilliant. Great ideas. You're not trying to be accurate with your guess, are you? Thanks for the prayers for Angie. 🫶

@@RickSmith-kp3sy Oh, and I like the Bugs Bunny concept but there's only room for one Fred in these parts. His name can be Derf 😁

@@just-one-more-rock Ok, maybe take a few hundredths off that decimal. 😂🤣

Like with many rocks, you'll find them if you can get to the right place at the right time. Since I've never found any, I can't be of help there. Good luck on finding your elusive lightning stones.

@@Betty-RockBetty I know, they're cool. I have bigger ones but my tile saw is too small to cut them. You know anyone with a lapidary saw? 😉

@ I know a chick!!!

@@Betty-RockBetty I know, some of the best ones are gone, and many tragically. It is a cool piece, isn't it.

@@jimdutcher6678 Hey buddy, yeah I know you love these. Thanks

@@JnVrockhounding They are cool. Thanks. I have some bigger ones that my saw can't cut so I may be trading them for some Thundereggs that I can cut. Still working that out with the local rock shop.

@@RickSmith-kp3sy Those are the words that came out when I looked at it. The words of a crazy man 🤪. I love that quartzite piece. Looking for to seeing if that red will pop. Kind of reminds me of the red jasper bits in pudding stone. Dude, I may have been first of the year but you're winning. I'm still laughing. That one was great. BTW, that must-ard hurt...whomp, whomp. On the real, I used to live near a Heinz processing plant, and waking to the smell of vinagar and cooking tomatoes was not the favorite start to my days.

@just-one-more-rock Mustard hurt, LOL,now you've moved ahead with the FORESIGHT you had for that reply...

@RickSmith-kp3sy Hindsight and foresight...you must have eyes on the back of your head.

@@just-one-more-rock Don't forget about my 3rd eye! I think it's blind from my semi-charmed kind of life!!!!!

Thanks, and the park is waiting here you when you want me to take you. Of course you can go alone, but I'd be sad if you didn't tell me 🥺 🫶

@ you know I’ll tell you!!

@@Betty-RockBetty For sure, and we've got a collab in our future 👍

@@JnVrockhounding 🤣 Well said

@@RickSmith-kp3sy I'm sorry for you, but you made it to adulthood regardless. True, tragic story.

@@RickSmith-kp3sy Thanks my friend
