    Gee, Dan... I think that little piece at 9:48 (and others like it) would make a cool micro sculpture.
    Giver a bath. Maybe a coating of CA glue or a dip in thin epoxy. Mount it to a little stainless welding rod stem. Mount that on a nice little square Walnut or Maple base. Would look awesome! :)

    25:30 It's interesting that you can see triboluminescence off and on through this cutting sequence. Pretty nice! If you go to a rocky beach with smooth quartz rocks, try to pick up a couple larger ones. You can get a cool light show if you rub them together firmly in a dark place. Just don't breathe in the dust!

      My camera was on the setting I use for taking vids of gold, which is skewed into the blue range. Otherwise that camera makes all gold look red. But with the low lilght in the trees, it realy made these look blue rather than purple.

    This is for the small number of Negativites,
    Dan Hurd, his Father and family, are really great people.
    If someone can't say something positive, perhaps they should
    heed the adage about not criticizing someone until
    you've walked a mile in their moccasins.
    Dan is a sincere sensitive person, and some of the false incidents he's had to
    address in the past, had to have been unpleasant
    I have made it a habit of being positive on all the websites I visit, with only
    very rare exceptions.
    So be kind, be good, be helpful, not hurtful and most of all,
    be informed before you reply.
    Just Saying,
    Cheers,
    Rik Spector

    Дякую, чудове відео! Дуже цікаве родовище, та гарний результат! Вміщуюча порода мабуть базальт, або андезито-базальт, класика жанру. Лава була не дуже рідкою, бо газові пустоти не встигли набути більш округлоЇ форми. Так, агати та кристали гарні, трохи схожі на Іджеванські агати АрменіЇ з Кавказу. Всього доброго, хай щастить!
