I like that you put the picture of the polished rock up in the right hand corner so we can see what the rock will look like after it is polished. ❤

Cool video! Are you going to tumble the obsidian?

Thank You!!!!

Next time go to gold springs road.

[@adventuresofshadowdog]

Thank You! Any further suggestions as to where on Gold Springs Road?

[@encepurdy68]

@@adventuresofshadowdog go approximate 6.5 miles on gold springs road that will get you to the nevada border. There is tons of black obsidian like broken glass everywhere and jasper. Really pretty area. There is a y in gold springs road. If you continue on gold springs road and don’t go to nevada you come to the gold mines up there. The nevada way will take you to Elko.

[@encepurdy68]

@@adventuresofshadowdog if you go up that Modena road you went on you need to go approximately 40 miles that will take you to hambin valley. Really cool gold mines area. Too jasper all over the place.
