Excellent haul on that fantastic material!! That's one on my list for sure!! Thanks for sharing this video!
Any time bro, always happy to share.
Fabulous colors .. The shallow concoidal fractures show great colors. Thanks for sharing.. The Chatoyancy in the Piece you cut at the 11:21 mark is Stunning..
Thanks! I cant wait to go back this year ^^
I love rainbow obsidian! I like it way more than the fire obsidian, and its color is consistent all the way through the rock. Unlike fire that can be a single layer that may not even go all the way through the rock, and in trying to cut or grind down to it, you may go though that micro thin layer and blow that whole piece, which is why it's so expensive. Its not the beauty of the fire, it's that it is so hard to deal with. Rainbow on the other hand is so beautiful and it is consistent through the rock and you can cut it and polish it and even carve it and produce different affects with the rainbow sheen! Its amazing and my favorite obsidian of all! And you guys got some amazing pieces! Those are some of the best rainbow sheens ive seen! The color spectrum is fabulous! They are full color! Thats so awesome! They are some of the most gorgeous colored pieces ive seen come out of glass butte! Absolutely fabulous! Thank you for taking us along on this fabulous day, searching for the rainbows! Thanks Rogue and Quest!
Youre spot on and I'm the same way. Rainbow is my favorite and you wont normally find such quality over there.
Davis creek has some great rainbows with teal and blue/green but that is much harder to find at GB.
The purple in this one was amazing and I noticed there was a lot of peach color in them as well (which I have seen very little of in the past).
Thanks for watching Largent and great to hear from ya.
Thanks for the information toward the end!
Glad it was helpful!
Heading down there from Washington 9/17/2023 Excited to get up there. First time.
Make sure to look into the maps. Well worth it.
Have fun and thanks for watching ^^
@@TheRogueRockhound thank you. I’m going down with my uncle. He’s a addicted napper. 🤣 him and a group go down every couple years.
That was an incredible day out there! Looked like it was a lot of hard work. But, the results well worth it! Wow! The absolutely gorgeous colors in that obsidian. That was cool you got directed to a great spot. And great job to Quest for goin to town out there 💪🔨 . Love, love, love obsidian!!! 🤩

Oregon Rocks! Rockhounding Oregon | Glass Buttes Rainbow Obsidian
I found it very impressive to see how those colours appear ,even knowing the video probably doesn't do justice when you see it for real
definitely does not do it justice ^^
Thanks for watching!
That is wonderful.
Thanks ^^
impressive.
Great trip, great vid. We got several winners from there. The colors are awesome and the big piece turned out fantastic. I cut some of the smaller ones with great results too. It's a good spot to visit again! 😁
Looking forward to seeing your vid man! Such a great trip!!
Living the Dream love it.
For sure man, just got back from there /hampton and I had a great time with friends
What a great look rock would love some in my collection great video see you work it, nice 1 catch you Andrew
We can totally make that happen man. I just need to warn ya, It takes me forever to send stuff out sometimes.
IDK why, but sometimes it just takes me forever.
thanks Andrew but the UK is a long way, nice 1 @@TheRogueRockhound
Oh my God Andrew, those are stunning! We have a couple of decent (legal) chunks from Bend but they don’t have that color.
I just got back from my second trip to this spot, LOTS of great color ^^
I will make sure I get some to ya
@@TheRogueRockhound ohhhhhhh, I would LOVE that! I’ve never seen that kind of color (which is kinda surprising in itself) and I appreciated the explanations at the end of the video. ❤️❤️❤️
Wow!! Definitely awesomely beautiful..what an amazing place. You guys had some hard Yakka! ⛏️ but well worth it, team work
👍 Save me a chunk , can ya! please 🤔
Lots of talented people in the YT Rockhounding gang✌️
One of my favorite rockhounding spots in Oregon for sure, such great colors.
Thanks for watching and there will always be some saved for ya ^^
Dang! Send me some of that, I’ll send you back a knapped blade. 😉
We can prolly do that. Send me a DM on Insta
@@TheRogueRockhound what’s your insta
@@knaptime instagram.com/rogue_rockhound/
Just subbed to both channels gentlemen looking forward to a collaboration 😀
i love obsidian! Thank you!
You're very welcome, thanks for watching ^^
That's some Luvvly Jubbly stuff Rogue 🌈
thanks buddy, im stoked ^^
Dang man! You really knocked it out of the park with this one.
That is some great rainbow.
So when are we going rockhounding together?
Thanks man, I appreciate hearing that from ya.
I'd enjoy meeting up soon to hang out and do some hounding man, lets plan something soon. Ive got a great spot we could go ^^
I was just out there for the first time on the 8th & 9th. I pulled a volleyball sized chunk out with a nice purple sheen streak through the middle. Found a bunch of small chunks of rainbow and silver sheen too.
Heck yeah man!
Its been a great season for that place ^^
Thanks for watching
Absolutely gorgeous pieces! Was already wanting to head over there but I'll definitely be planning a trip! Fingers crossed for treadures like yours! Thanks for sharing!
Better get over there before the rain/snow comes ^^
Thanks for watching and good luck on your finds!
@@TheRogueRockhound we're headed there early October. So hopefully good weather hangs on!
You're welcome. Always enjoy your adventures.
That’s some super sweet looking rainbow… I have found a little, but nothing like that! I do have some really cool gold sheen though!
Awesome! Gold sheen is pretty neat stuff. Tough to find the good stuff ^^
Outstanding finds. I only knew about Davis Creek, but couldn't get to the rainbow site due to bad washouts in 2008. I did get a few buckets of needles which at some point I'll make chimes. Nice video and Good hunting! 👍
Thanks Mike, I appreciate that.
Stay cool man
Love Obsidian. Found some small pieces myself over the years. Mainly around Mt Shasta. One of your slices looked like an X-Ray…coincidence…I think not! 😊
Obsidian is some of my favorite stuff to find, especially when it has such great colors ^^
Thanks for watching!!
wow you found a treasure Sir like a latest building
Thanks! I had a great time and I'm glad you enjoyed too ^^
I went out there in 2005, and we had people come up on us saying that we were in there spot & had to leave. People think they own spots, be careful, a lot of times incidents aren’t reported. It happened twice in different spots, second time I told them they can dig with us or leave us alone. Some lady said you know there are a lot places to hide things out here, her husband turned & told her to shut tha fuck up, enjoy your digging & I apologize for what she said.
I’ve been there twice and only collected surface finds. I have several 5 gallon buckets full. I guess if you want a giant piece it’s worth digging but I was mostly wanting stuff to tumble. There are a lot of maps online that tell you where to find the different colors. I’ve had good luck with the red ribbon stuff, aurora, and midnight lace.
The maps can be useful for sure but I have found that they all say different things. When I was there I was given a map from one of the miners that seems to be accurate. Cant wait to get back out there for more.
Thanks for watching!!
That's so beautiful. Do you sell pieces? We only seem to have the black obsidian here in New Zealand.
Thanks! So I cant technically sell any because it was collected on public lands. The states are...funny like that ^^
If you send me a message on Instagram, we could probably figure something out though.
Thanks for watching
Really nice color. I hear there's about 13 different types of obsidian in that area.
Thats true, there are and I've never had such good luck.
Cant wait to go back ^^
Thanks for watching Collene!
WOW. looks like a fun site. Always great not having to dig and not worry about breaking crystal points! Do you find that the color is sometimes concentrated on 1 side of a chunk and just black on the other side? or are all the specimens in that zone permeated with color
Most of the obsidian you'll find is solid black with no color. There are a variety of different types, but rainbow is particularly prized. As for the color in these, there are flow layers that you cut against (5-15 degree cut) to reveal color. The area also has mahogany, lizard skin, gold sheen, blue sheen, purple sheen, etc. There are 2 buttes (where the area gets it's name) that are loaded with it.
Thanks for watching man!
Hey! Just recently started watching your stuff and I see you do a lot in Oregon and ca!.. lucky me, today my buddy found something today we’ve never seen before. Is it possible to ask for assistance identifying it?
Thats awesome man! and yeah, I'm a Rogue Valley local and I try to help people find rocks in Oregon.
Send me a DM on Insta and I'll do my best to help ya
Is the dirt that hard you need chisels to break it up? Is Fire Obsidian next?
when you get down far enough the dirt get hard and i'll prolly go for the fire soon
Thanks for watching
Are you selling the slabs? I would like to have a small piece, if possible.
Send me a message on IG and I'll help you out ^^
Hello, do you sell rock and mineral specimens.? Please advise. Rebecca Blue
No, usually I just give them to people because selling rocks found on public lands is illegal. Send me a message on Instagram and maybe I can send you something nice.
Thanks for watching ^^
Why are you don’t invite me I was waiting
Next time ^^
