102F here yesterday. I also agree, the adventures are what it's all about. Rocks are just a reason and sometimes the icing on the cake. My family is not into rocks, so I'm pretty much relegated to solo adventures.
You just settled a question for me, I find pastelite infrequently in our Idaho desert which I have recognized as different but did not have a name till I saw your video and went to a search (which lead me to Etsy ) There I found some sample pictures of material they called Pasteilite which related to what I had found ,will send my pics for your ponderance!
Man, I am truly sorry for going into the weeds with you about paho'eho'e. I do agree, if you make your point that's what matters. I will not try to justify, but I will sincerely apologise for putting you in no-win situation. Thank you, brother, for not grinding me on that. Please keep on rocking and hounding and sharing as long as it suits you. Your tolerance is appreciated and your presentations are clear, informative and entertaining to me. May God bless all that you do.
You Rock my World!! History trapped in stone! Crazy, i was thinking about the native names for minerals etc... Where have you been, where are you from? Only the stone knows! Pasta Lite, is what my wife makes me eat! Cheers and Rawk on!
If you come across central Idaho you should go to Challis! Lime creek area for example has some sweet agate nodules, green jasper and even Bloodstones! Also, in Idaho we have a town spelled Mackay but you better not pronounce it “Ma-kay” or else you’ll get the look! - haha, not really, but the people will know you’re from out of state because it’s strangely pronounced “mackie”
I love Jasper and I can't wait to see what you find. Idaho should be a very fun place geologically speaking and rockhound speaking. Have a great time out there!
Yay! You finally cut your Jasper!! Your Amazon link, is only showing the 1st edition of the, Roadside Geology of Idaho. Thought I’d let you know, just in case I just commented on your cutting Rimrock thunder eggs. I mentioned a video that may help identify the rock, at the end of your video.
I agree people shouldn’t get worked up about pronunciation. And I’m wrong probably most the time haha. I usually grab something and hold it up to the camera and like oooh what is this? Cause I know like 10 things haha
I did some looking for pastelite. Mine dat say look on Google. Google shows a variety of jaspers. So I guess if you have a jasper of any color and type you can declare it PASTELITE. Sort of like Harty Potter pointing a stick and saying it is so. So look at your box of rocks with a willow stick and do your best wizard impression and get declairing!🤪
“I’ve heard all pronunciations and don’t think it really matters. . .” Lol my College ENGL teacher would have a “fuss” with you. The funny thing is, I actually pronounce chalcedony differently than all four examples that you mentioned… I pronounce it something like “Cal-sed-un-nee” anyone with me??
Never make fun of someone for mispronouncing something. It means they learned by reading. I’ll let you know when I learn what’s most correct... druse, druzy, druzz, drusey... I’ve seen it spelled about 20 ways 🤷🏻♂️ I like cool rocks... I’m making up names for some of the druse quartz varieties I’m finding... I’m not helping 🤣
Great video, yeah I think it’s great to have books with mapped places to go and explore and get out there and feel the experience that author has put in the book.
Language and local pronounciation are such a funny topic... no matter what language... near my hometown there is a village... the name sign and the maps say it is called "Bergen", but no local knows it by this name, cause we all call it "Baring"... 😂
Isn't mineralogy a science? Sure, you are right that we should NOT get all twisted about pronunciation. The scientist in me wants to get the science and words right. Also, when someone says "this isn't tourmaline, it's schorl". That is confusing, right?
I hear you and you're correct but its a no-win situation for the person in my position. If you use a common name for something then someone will say "Actually its _____" if you use a more accurate but less common name for something then someone will say "Actually you should say _____". There's no winning. What matters is the conveyance of the idea. As far as Tourmaline goes there is technically no such thing that I can find on any list of minerals of the Tourmaline group that refer to Black Tourmaline. The group consists of the follow: Adachiite, Alumino-oxy-rossmanite, Bosiite, Celleriite, Chromium-dravite, Chromo-alumino-povondraite, Darrellhenryite , Dravite, Dutrowite, Elbaite, Feruvite, Fluor-buergerite, Fluor-dravite, Fluor-elbaite, Fluor-liddicoatite, Fluor-schorl, Fluor-tsilaisite, Fluor-uvite, Foitite, Lucchesiite, Luinaite-(OH), Magnesio-foitite, Magnesio-lucchesite, Maruyamaite, Olenite, Oxy-chromium-dravite, Oxy-dravite, Oxy-foitite, Oxy-schorl, Oxy-vanadium-dravite, Povondraite, Princivalleite, Rossmanite, Schorl, Tsilaisite, Uvite, Vanadio-oxy-chromium-dravite, Vanadio-oxy-dravite. I'm not sure what to say here, Schorl is in the Tourmaline group of minerals, and it is black and calling it Black Tourmaline is what a lot of people do, but there is no such thing as 'Black Tourmaline' according to the International Mineralogical Association. I think both names can be used interchangeably and its fine. One is slightly more right then the other but who really cares? I really don't.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding My problem is that most of our rocks in our area are floated in. We are not representative to almost all areas in the world for minerals to rockhound. It is difficult to isolate what we can find in the Spokane area because of the Missoula floods.
I'm just getting into it and thought the same thing... but finding out some fractured rock... you may as well give it a few strategic punches...depending the rock...because... you will think you'll have nice slabs and you wind up with a bunch of tumble fill instead... may as well find a meaty bit first... 🤗

Yeah its really getting toasty out here. Maybe you can find some side hobbies for them to involve them more?
I’m so glad that I found you! You go so many places that are available to me, thank you!
:)
I always enjoy your channel. Thanks for your insight.

You do a great job explaining sir, always take something away from these.
Thanks for another SNS buddy and see you next week! Stay cool
Thank you so much bro!

Did you argue with him about it or something?
Not not at all.
No need to apologize it just sometimes feels like a no-win situation for me.
@@micahflips1928 no, no argument. He is too civilized to engage in such petty things.
Love the woods. Always brings my wife and I closer together. Stay cool this week.
Well said!
Your roadside slabbed chert would look good flintknapped.

Ohhh Bloodstones and green Jasper sounds like something I would really love to find!
I have been doing the same just collecting slabs for winter days.
It's like saving for a rainy day.
Great knowledge your sharing and stirring up a bit of thinking along the way. Keep it coming. Stay happy, safe and healthy.😷⚒
Does spokane river have alota jasper?
It does have some but not much and what I have seen the color is kinda meh.
I love Jasper and I can't wait to see what you find. Idaho should be a very fun place geologically speaking and rockhound speaking. Have a great time out there!
To quote Robert service. You came for the gold and you got it but some how the golds not all theirs a land and its calling
Well said!
Yay! You finally cut your Jasper!!
Your Amazon link, is only showing the 1st edition of the, Roadside Geology of Idaho. Thought I’d let you know, just in case
I just commented on your cutting Rimrock thunder eggs. I mentioned a video that may help identify the rock, at the end of your video.
I think sometimes Amazon does that when something is out of stock.
I agree people shouldn’t get worked up about pronunciation. And I’m wrong probably most the time haha. I usually grab something and hold it up to the camera and like oooh what is this? Cause I know like 10 things haha

I know the whole subject of what Pastelite is seems about as clear as mud.
“I’ve heard all pronunciations and don’t think it really matters. . .” Lol my College ENGL teacher would have a “fuss” with you. The funny thing is, I actually pronounce chalcedony differently than all four examples that you mentioned… I pronounce it something like “Cal-sed-un-nee” anyone with me??
Ha! I just think there's bigger fish to fry in life I guess. You do you and pronounce it anyway you like.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding yeah I agree haha
Never make fun of someone for mispronouncing something. It means they learned by reading. I’ll let you know when I learn what’s most correct... druse, druzy, druzz, drusey...

Can you point out a good place to find chert in Eastern Washington?
Unfortunately there is no known good deposits of chert in eastern Washington.
Language and local pronounciation are such a funny topic... no matter what language... near my hometown there is a village... the name sign and the maps say it is called "Bergen", but no local knows it by this name, cause we all call it "Baring"... 😂
Yeah it is a funny subject to really get into and examine.
I was they had a Roadside Geology for Illinois. I havnt been able to find it if there is.
Looking at the publishers website they don't make one unfortunately.
YAKIMAAA OR YAKIMA? BOISE OR BOIZE ?

So instead of cutting the rock you smash it. Okay Haulk
