So it's not just me who takes forever to tumble chert? Your patience sure paid off with that one. Love those jaspers with all the tiny little parts stuck together weather it's oolitic or brecciated or whatever. I think my favorite agate was the one with the really nice shadow banding. You are a much better tumbler than most beginners. You have had success right from the beginning.
I had a lot of help from some Michigan guy. He made a really good tumbling tutorial, and I just followed that. I really think the key to it is just being patient enough.
Lots of fun. You really do a good job of tumbling. So many agates and jasper pieces. Thank you for sharing your finds with us. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Great polish job,, your tumbler is working really well,, proves all the work you put into was worth it! 😃 👍 I love and share the passion you show, Great work Thomas
Hello, thanks for the great video! I like the multicolored jasper with the smiley face on it, and the red hat.Tumbled rocks really are beautiful, so its kind of hard to pick.Love the agates. The first large grey and white striped turned out fantastic! God bless you! Your friend and fan, Kevin That one jasper looked like a Easter basket, full of eggs!
How exciting! Every new rockhounder is great! And what success you are having. Keep having as many adventures as you can. I enjoy watching your tumbled rock displays. And water. Oh my goodness. Water here in arizona is pretty scarce and I have actually resorted to parking lot and driveway searches. My driveway gravel is from the verde river so I do sometimes find small agates. And run my tumbler often. Thanks again for sharing your adventures
Water is abundant here in the land of 10,000 lakes(it’s actually over 12,000, but we Minnesotans don’t like to brag😂). Gravel roads are still fantastic, especially for rocks for the tumbler! I love showing off my tumbled beauties, so expect some more of those videos this winter!
You know, I have found a couple, only a couple of pieces of Binghamite here in southern St. Louis county. I know Taylor has found one or two pieces in the area too. I know that they say that it's only found west of here in one area, but I believe it can be found in about any place, but it's EXTREMELY MORE RARE.
You are getting really good at tumbling rocks! Great shine!! I can’t wait to get up there and find some of that stuff . I have had enuf quartz crystals to last me all summer ! Lol !!😂 Keep rockin!!👍😎
I have a Massive rock collection and would love to see what a lot of them look like all shined up. I landscape in south east Michigan and have been collecting rocks for a few years now. My yard is FULL of rocks.
I just started rockhounding and tumbling mostly to get my 8 year old son outside instead of playing video games. I am also in central MN. Are you west central or eastern part of the state?
There basically is no difference between chert, flint, and jasper. It’s all crypto crystalline quartz. Flint generally refers to artifacts. Jasper refers to bright colors or patterns in the stone. Chert is a catch all for the boring ones. It is very confusing 😂
Oh man, these are gorgeous. Excellent shine on them! That banded chert is so cool that you found over here. Beautiful pieces of jasper and agates. Awesome work, and amazing video Thomas, keep inspiring and sharing your passion!

Thank you so much! It’s really been fun to find rocks that you know are going to be stunning when they’re finished😊
Awesome material, that banded chert is killer!!
I was probably most excited to find that on my trip to Michigan!
Really nice collection they shined up really well. Thanks Thomas for sharing.
I’m glad you enjoyed seeing them!
Absolutely beautiful rocks!
Thank you!
Good show.
Such beautiful rocks! Great job brining out even more beauty in them by tumbling them. Looking forward to more of your rockhounding videos!
Me too. I really, really, really need it to warm up so I can get out😂
❤ Beautiful collection ❤
Thank you!
Nice batch of tumbles.the bingamite is very cool.some of those agates are stunning.😎
Glad you like them!
Thanks for sharing, your redesigned tumbler helps you complete many more tumbled rocks.
I've been really happy with my tumbler.
Excellent work 👍🏼 That is a beautiful batch. Some of the banded iron formations and that one banded chert are exceptionally nice!
Thank you. I spent a really long time getting that chert to that point!

Awesome!
Thank you!
Really beautiful results, Thomas. Hope you can get back out hunting soon. ❤️💔🦅🦅
I plan on it, but the weather has not been cooperating with me.
@@99Rockhounding It will. Soon.
Good job 👏🏻. I really liked the rock at 13:19
I'm not sure what it is, but it's a really cool rock!
Beautiful assortment of rock, Thomas. Great job!
Many thanks!

I’ve found a few in places that weren’t the Cuyuna iron range too. It’d be interesting to know how they got there. My best guess is glaciers.
You are getting really good at tumbling rocks! Great shine!! I can’t wait to get up there and find some of that stuff . I have had enuf quartz crystals to last me all summer ! Lol !!😂
Keep rockin!!👍😎
You've found some pretty cool crystal points though!
I've been told I'm an earth tone person, 15:45 gives me hope I can have color in my closet!
They should make a shirt with that color pattern!
I think the piece at 8:20 is agatized petrified wood.
I have a Massive rock collection and would love to see what a lot of them look like all shined up. I landscape in south east Michigan and have been collecting rocks for a few years now. My yard is FULL of rocks.
You never know until you try tumbling them!
Since I am new to all of this if they are not shining well I should just leave them go longer?
I think the one at 7.50 is agatized petrified wood. It sure looks like it to me!
It could be, but I’m not sure if there is any in this area. Who knows what it is lol

Lapidary challenge: is it possible to make a tile saw function as a vertical flat lap?
Possibly, but the blade only has diamonds around the outer edge, so you'd either have to use something else or modify the blade.
At 8.27 - could that be petrified wood?
the jasper at 11:24 is called a poppy jasper
Good to know!
I just started rockhounding and tumbling mostly to get my 8 year old son outside instead of playing video games. I am also in central MN. Are you west central or eastern part of the state?
I’m central central MN lol
Hi. Where is this? I am asking if I can access it.
These were found all over, and I tumbled them myself.
There basically is no difference between chert, flint, and jasper. It’s all crypto crystalline quartz. Flint generally refers to artifacts. Jasper refers to bright colors or patterns in the stone. Chert is a catch all for the boring ones. It is very confusing 😂
Thanks, I always appreciate info like this. I just like to say it’s all silicates😂
Oh man, these are gorgeous. Excellent shine on them! That banded chert is so cool that you found over here. Beautiful pieces of jasper and agates. Awesome work, and amazing video Thomas, keep inspiring and sharing your passion!
Thank you very much!
