Hello everybody, it's been a long time since I have posted on this channel. I am now professionally trained and ready to take Study Buddy Studios to the next level... to The Digiverse! I can create highly interactive virtual classrooms for various subjects that play like video games and can connect teachers with students through video confrence calls within the virtual classroom. I am looking for a Canadian university or college to sponsor me to make this happen and I need your help. Please watch my newest upload to this channel, share and leave a comment. Cheers. th-cam.com/video/P4soBPuFmBo/w-d-xo.html
Being an graphite moderated reactor I'd say graphite can cause problems sometimes hurt or kill the reactor me being one of them I flat out hate graphite I throw every insult in the dictionary at graphite
Thanks Jim. You should see what I am up to now. Check out my newest upload to see. It is still processing so you might be the first person to see it. Cheers.
I found this via yours! As soon as the 'rona allows places to reopen, I'll be heading to the local museum, to get an idea of what we have here in Northern Ireland.
Thanks for sharing this. I've marked it to come back in late spring and use it to identify the rocks & minerals in my brook. I appreciated your direct approach with information and camera sets.
Honestly thanks this was one of the best videos that I have watched in a long time. I have been collecting rocks and minerals for a long time.. finally I know what I have. Thanks for a great video :)
Great video! All discussion aside as to how you got the rocks to spin 🙄😂, it's really cool that you did that. So much more helpful being able to see the rocks & minerals from different angles rather than looking at a flat picture in a book. Awesome job!
The table sits atop a "lazy susan". A common feature in display racks for retail merchandise. A "must have" for the instructional presentations. Thanks for noticing.
Not a student, but I found this very helpful! Looking at buying some land in the North Georgia mountains and found some neat minerals and rocks, as well as a LOT of quartz. This helped me with figuring out what some of the rocks I brought home from the land site are!
As a native North Georgian (aka Appalachian American) I hope you have found life good here. A word of caution, if I may. Keeping Pet Rocks has been a popular idea for a number of years. These are truly wild and not meant to be kept as pets. One minute docile and aggressive the next. They can be very protective of humans they are familiar with. I, too, once thought this was a good idea until my Pet Rock, Krystal, attacked my neighbor right between the eyes during an emotional discussion about property lines. Krystal had to be released into a wilderness area. Welcome to North Georgia.
I studied off of this video and got a better understanding for my lab test. The only thing I would say is if you could label whether they're igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic. I knew some but not all. No worries, I looked it up. But other than that, this was amazing. Thanks so much.
Good evening sir, i found a rock behind our house, i want to know what type of rock is it, im from sierra leone west africa, send me your watsapp number to communicate better please thank you
I always remember that the difference between limestone and dolostone from a geographers perspective is that the dolostone is like a sponge to water, limestone has a tight interlocking crystal structure and water penetrates along joints and bedding planes. The marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolostone - interesting video, thanks
It would be nice if you told us something about how these originate. Like where was this Orthoclase found, how widespread is it, where is it typically, and how is it formed?
Very informative video on minerals identification. I am an amateur rock hunter this helped me immensely. If you have videos on rock identification, please upload them
thank you so much the video was helpful but, the minerals and rocks we do in class are sooooo different from the ones in the video. the color and structure always changes i want to be able to identify a arock or mineral just by looking @ it... is that even possible?
Nice concept. Had trouble seeing colors and textures.would like to see more with more info, maybe uses or where they are most often found. Nice job over all
@@SSFCstudybuddy hi buddy i've got a quick query that's been bothering me..may sound stupid mind! anyway with the scratch test is there a certain way to do it, for example quartz having a higher hardness than calcite, if i had a nice flat face on a piece of quartz (amethyst for example) and a piece of calcite with a very sharp point or edge and tried my very hardest to scrach the face of the Amethyst should it be impossible for it to leave a permanent mark or will it scratch it just simply due to the amount of force used? in other words should i just be testing it by gently scratching it instead of with force (i know a knife is lower on the scale than quartz but i just feel like if i really tried to mark that quartz with a steel blade i could even though in theory it shouldn't be able to...thanks buddy and great video! 👍🏻💎
I'm at Big Bear Lake CA and I'm finding large chunks of pink, white and grey "quartzy" type rocks. They are fantastic! I studied geology a bit 35 years ago and I've forgotten so much. I think these are granite... Maybe a few marble?? Thank you! Great video!
Thanks for sharing this informative video on rock and mineral identification! I found it really helpful to learn about the different characteristics to look for, such as color, texture, and hardness. I also appreciated the tips on using tools like a magnifying glass or scratch test to further narrow down the possibilities. As someone who is just getting started with rock collecting, this video gave me a great foundation for identifying specimens in the field. Keep up the great work!"
So...I never knew being a geologist or studying rocks was so damn cool. I kinda wanna do it...I've always loved rocks lol but genuinely, I could spend hours rock hunting
Im learning this for the sheer chance I'm thrown through time and have to rebuild the world. Not having to figure out what raw materials are and smelting them.
this is helpful for rock hounds as well. i live in the Adirondacks and have seem most of those in my travels, a few i know on sight but a few can be tricky. thanks for posting!
Although I'm still in high school but I find it very interesting. I would advice majority of the public to be geologist because it is very important in life. As for me I would love to be a mineral geologist
I admire your passion and the ability to know what you want to learn. It is a bit too late for me (too late in life), so I do encourage anyone who is slightly interested in rocks and minerals to give it a go. I am trying to teach myself now....I love rocks!!
2nd time watching. Actually learned some information this time, after uncovering the processes of recognizing some gem markings in the rough. Diamonds and Gold beware when I get off this leash!!!
This specimens are in general, some similar specimens have different appearance. For example : pyroxene, sometimes ocured in crystal form. And some others ..
You said that quartz has concoidial fracture. I thought that was the smooth curves seen in flint and obsidian in the angle and appearance of a hole in glass made by a BB. Not trying to sound smarty, I'd really like to know. Thanks for the excellent video.
It would be nice if you told us something about how these originate. Like where was this Ortho place found how widespread is it where is it typically and how is it formed
Scott Laursen Just a bit of info on that particular subject - he put each item on a piece of paper and then slowly rotated the sheet by hand. I'm not trying to be a smart-ass, I'm simply guessing that you're young and/or didn't notice his fingers turning the paper - which is visible fairly often at the top corners of the screen. Also, on the chance that YOU are older and were being a smart-ass with YOUR comment ... Well damn! I guess you got me! Lol! 😁. Either way, have a good day darlin'😉!
I like that too. It helped me get a better look at the thing (so I could have a better idea of what it actually looks like). Often times with lights and cameras the best shots are taken at certain angles.
Just on a note I'm curious could we find the same or similar varieties or what kind of rocks,minerals we could find on other planets? What are the depending factors? Thank you
Flower gold how do you process it I’ve been trying with the vacuum hose in the loop and loops loops seems to work but then I lose it all too much water flow
Oh I wish I could rent you for a day to identify my rock hoard. Lol. Its difficult to figure this out from online resources. Thanks for the info sir! 👍🏻
Good day. happy 4th of july may you have many more. hahahaha, Thank you for posting thins video. How did you determine the hardness and gravity of those rocks? what is poricpioritodic?
Hi, I am rock enthusiast and it has been my passion so I can tell you that for hardness we use the Moh's Hardness Test. The first thing you do find a place in the rock that scratching will not matter. Then the first thing you do is to use your fingernail and see if you can scratch the rock and if you can see a line then your rock is a soft rock. Moh lists as an example that talc can easily be scratch. If no mark then you are going to see if a coin can leave a scratch mark. If it does then you have a list of rocks it could be. Next to scratch with is a small knife blade, a piece of glass, and from there a piece of glass. You also can use the rocks that Mohs has on its scale. So if you can can't scratch it with a pocket knife but can with a piece of quartz rock, then looking at Moh's scale you may have apatire?? It isn't rocket science correct but it is a good indicator. I really like the streak test. But I would suggest buying a good rock and mineral book for identification. My favorite is the Audubon rock and mineral guide. It is incredible!! I also love my Eyewiness Handbooks Rocks and Minerals guide book by Chris Pellant and joining a local rock and gem club is really great too!
Love this video! I don't have much knowledge about geology but i am interested in it more and more. A few years ago i was lucky to work in Labrador. On a hike, i found some Labradorite, which i was able to bring a specimen the size of half a fist. I was also able to get a sample specimen of Nickel from the mine where I worked. I've had an interest in geology and gem cutting since. Videos such as yours here keeps my interest on the subject. Does anyone have any inside knowledge on the industry? Is a career in geology worth it? Are there lots of job openings or is it a sector with low employment prospects? What type of work does one usually end up doing as a geologist?
Just a tip: try and get your information from reliable sources. There are quite a few inaccuracies in this video. As for your question geology is generally a good field to go into, depending where you live. In many parts of the world most end up working in the minerals industry, either for private mining companies, or for resource management for the government. Many others work in construction or urban planning, or as consultants for this. Some work in natural resource management and environmental management. Some will stay on as academics. Some work in mapping areas, often doing consultancy work. Those are the main fields from my knowledge.
+Desalvo- my apologies. I hadn't realized that somehow, the video and subsequent comment section had changed with the "auto play" function enacted. I sincerely withdraw my comment and apologize for the confusion.
@SSFCstudybuddy Marble is stratified or unstratified rock, some text book says stratified some said unstratified so Marble is stratified or unstratified rock?
A lady friend of mine had a few stones, she kept showing them to me and each time she showed me one I told her it was Gneiss and she told me I was no help at all!
Hello, thank you for the detailed information about the stone, I am 36 years old, I am not literate, I am very interested in stones, and I wish that someone would teach me and even learn how to cut gems, and I have a question for you, dear teacher, the first quartz stone that is shown in the video Is it possible to have a diamond similar to this mineral? Thank you❤❤

Wonderful! If I listen to it every day for a month maybe some of the learning will stick. Thanks for posting.
You are a unique Geologist, the teaching method is exceptional. I learn a lot here. Thanks very much
Yes!
Wish you had been my teacher at school in 1956, a very good and easily understood video, well done!
Thanks Jim. You should see what I am up to now. Check out my newest upload to see. It is still processing so you might be the first person to see it. Cheers.
What an excellent video. I love rocks and minerals. I cant get enough of them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
THANK YOU, ONE OF THE BEST DISCRIPTIONS & CLEAR PICTURES I'VE SEEN.
This video made me laugh, it made me cry, its the feel good hit of the year!
How's 2020 treating you? :-)
😂😂😂
This is helping with my Science Olympiad competition. THANK YOU!
I like video
This is so informative! I recently started hunting agates and it's great knowing what else I find along the way!

Look at you agate dad you came a long way!
Awesome video. I am mesmerized by the unusual beauty of every stone and rocks. I collect pebbles and stones.

It is very nice teaching and learning!!!
Especially for geology departement that focus on mineral!!

Очень интересный фильм, познавательный.Смотрю и оторваться не могу! Спасибо автору за удовольствие рассматривать эти прекрасные образцы.
Yes !! I've been leaning about all of the rocks and min,I think this was a very good 😊 video to watch and learn,thank you for sharing,Linda ,
I absolutely love this, thank you. Time to see-look, hear aboutand think, I love it.

I need liget buyer..
Hello Mrs. Robert here I love your channel. I have been slacking on for 33 years and have no plans to stop
I always remember that the difference between limestone and dolostone from a geographers perspective is that the dolostone is like a sponge to water, limestone has a tight interlocking crystal structure and water penetrates along joints and bedding planes. The marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolostone - interesting video, thanks
wao!! this video contains all those rocks that are written in the syllabus of my olympiad
thnx a lot..
Thank you, very awesome and helpful. So excited to finally recognize stones.
Im viry good
I've always been interested in rocks and their various colors but don't know how precious they are until I see this clip.
So effective with this helpfull Field Guide. many thanks
Wonderful informative video Sir, we thank you for sharing your knowledge. Happy rockhounding!!
It would be nice if you told us something about how these originate. Like where was this Orthoclase found, how widespread is it, where is it typically, and how is it formed?
YESSSS
Very informative video on minerals identification. I am an amateur rock hunter this helped me immensely. If you have videos on rock identification, please upload them
Good One. Useful for the Students of Geology.
Or anyone just interested in rocks, minerals, etc.....
You Rock! Thank you so very much. You have a great voice, reminds of a detective show.
I Love Mankind Soo Much. For All This Knowledge.
Zac Grey it’s good to keep learning
This video taken form my practical exams is very good thanks to making this video
thank you so much the video was helpful but, the minerals and rocks we do in class are sooooo different from the ones in the video. the color and structure always changes i want to be able to identify a arock or mineral just by looking @ it... is that even possible?
so u mean to say that "experience" is what i need?
Artur Pikul "practise makes perfect" i guess... thank you for the advice...
What an expert! Awesome presentation.
Nice concept. Had trouble seeing colors and textures.would like to see more with more info, maybe uses or where they are most often found. Nice job over all

I love quartz it looks beautiful and its so easy to find :DD
Thank you very much for this video I love it one question to ask I have a stone which attract magnet please what type of stone is that?
This specimens are in general, some similar specimens have different appearance. For example : pyroxene, sometimes ocured in crystal form. And some others ..
Wondering where you are from(?) I find it funny when there’s an option of how to pronounce, you say it differently than I do. I love this video!
It's a wonderful video, but I would also categorize them into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.
Regards!
This quick vine was as good as any Geology class I've ever had in college, or better, thanks, sir!
You said that quartz has concoidial fracture. I thought that was the smooth curves seen in flint and obsidian in the angle and appearance of a hole in glass made by a BB. Not trying to sound smarty, I'd really like to know. Thanks for the excellent video.
Yes,
I love these things.Great video. Thanks!
I wish it also listed the chemical makeup.
sure
Me too but good video anyway.
Angie Lopez वैरी good
yes I agree with you
Thank you so much for your help.... from Marrakesh... Morocco...
I thought gneiss was pronounced "nice"?
it is
it is. he mispronounced quite a few samples
kept calling porphyry, por-pie-ree, smdh
If that's the Scandinavian name, the 'ei' is pronounced like the 'a' in 'dandy'.
I thought it was 'niiss'
It would be nice if you told us something about how these originate. Like where was this Ortho place found how widespread is it where is it typically and how is it formed
thanks for Rock and Mineral Identification.
Now you need a video on how they are made and where they are mainly found. Thank you!
Да согласен с вами !
When you say "structure,Massive" what exactly does that mean?
No visible mineral crystallization
Excellent job, thank you for this knowledge. 👊❤❤❤❤
I like the part when the rocks spun around slowly.
Scott Laursen Just a bit of info on that particular subject - he put each item on a piece of paper and then slowly rotated the sheet by hand. I'm not trying to be a smart-ass, I'm simply guessing that you're young and/or didn't notice his fingers turning the paper - which is visible fairly often at the top corners of the screen. Also, on the chance that YOU are older and were being a smart-ass with YOUR comment ... Well damn! I guess you got me! Lol! 😁. Either way, have a good day darlin'😉!
Lol
I watched this for 5 MINUTES before I realized he was lazy susaning it . . .
I like that too. It helped me get a better look at the thing (so I could have a better idea of what it actually looks like). Often times with lights and cameras the best shots are taken at certain angles.
Interesting
Just on a note I'm curious could we find the same or similar varieties or what kind of rocks,minerals we could find on other planets? What are the depending factors? Thank you
Thank you so much for the video. I have long wanted this kind of video.

Put a picture on here as a reply. Lots of well informed folks here.
Guess not.
We found a sparkling rock at on the sea... I just want to know where we can go for a check.. to know what kind of rock is it.

I've had an interest in geology and gem cutting since. Videos such as yours here keeps my interest on the subject.
Does anyone have any inside knowledge on the industry? Is a career in geology worth it? Are there lots of job openings or is it a sector with low employment prospects? What type of work does one usually end up doing as a geologist?
Just a tip: try and get your information from reliable sources. There are quite a few inaccuracies in this video. As for your question geology is generally a good field to go into, depending where you live. In many parts of the world most end up working in the minerals industry, either for private mining companies, or for resource management for the government. Many others work in construction or urban planning, or as consultants for this. Some work in natural resource management and environmental management. Some will stay on as academics. Some work in mapping areas, often doing consultancy work. Those are the main fields from my knowledge.

+Desalvo - That comment is an embarrassing contribution, wouldn't you say?

?
+Desalvo- my apologies. I hadn't realized that somehow, the video and subsequent comment section had changed with the "auto play" function enacted. I sincerely withdraw my comment and apologize for the confusion.
@SSFCstudybuddy Marble is stratified or unstratified rock, some text book says stratified some said unstratified so Marble is stratified or unstratified rock?
A lady friend of mine had a few stones, she kept showing them to me and each time she showed me one I told her it was Gneiss and she told me I was no help at all!
That's funny....lol

Hello, thank you for the detailed information about the stone, I am 36 years old, I am not literate, I am very interested in stones, and I wish that someone would teach me and even learn how to cut gems, and I have a question for you, dear teacher, the first quartz stone that is shown in the video Is it possible to have a diamond similar to this mineral? Thank you❤❤
Now that I think of it my true love is stone and minerals.
Beautifully presented 👍👍👍
They're rocks, Hank!
Your a Damn rock.
damn man that's harsh and don't say damn
I can't tell if what I'm digging up in the north east USA is quartz or quartzite?
Love the intro brah, hardcore!
I found some beautiful gneiss rocks hiking in Griffith park in Los Angeles. Among many others.
helped me in my science homework i know who i am subscribing to
Kayla Edwards hello
Me encanto tu video y tu explicacion muy interesante y muy profecional, muchas gracias.
Gneiss is pronounced 'nice' as it is a German word. Think of the 'ei' sound in 'ein' or 'mein'.
I have gneisses and gnephews.
I caught that mispronunciation too.
In German ist pronounced "G-nice", the G is pronounced like in u-G-ly
@Martin Turner It ain't gneiss.
s elle or nein
Thank you so much. Better to know all this, than being blind.
