Loved the video. Hope to go there some day. What you found there is a lot like stuff I found here in Crook County on a job site. Keep your eyes open for agatized wood.
❤ Loved your adventure. I'd like to know what the white and light green colored rock is ? It's really pretty. Youve got some great finds ❤.🎉thanks for sharing your amazing adventure with 😊 me. Oh and the rest of the viewer's 😅 lol.
So glad you loved this rockhounding adventure. It’s one of our favorite places to go. And this video WAS made for you!😉. I would say that just about everything we pull out of there is a combination of 2 or more different materials. Mainly agate and Jasper. (I think) the white one with the green streaks you’re wondering about, at the end there?, is an agate. It really looks a lot like ‘tree agate’ (from India). Definitely a rare pattern for out there. I’ve found quite a few pieces that look like they just don’t belong there at all. But that’s also what I love about Gem Hill. Every single time I go there I find something different. Thank You so much, for checking us out, Laura T! 💎
Salut, Great show! You are much like me, though I am anchored in Indiana; see some colour and the eyes grow wider! ....and if there is any deviation to break up or differentiate hues, isolate them into banding; the heart pounds evermore faster! Beautiful material! Cheers!
Thank you for your Awesome comment! And thank you for checking us out. The colors out there ARE Awesome! Can’t wait for things to cool down so we can go back out there! 💎
@@rockhoundingwithjasperblue Well thank you Sir🙂 All I've ever really wanted from this whole endeavor. Is for more enthusiasts to make vids. Not too many people we're making videos, when I first started sharing. My favorite channels, that I had newly discovered. Had long since stopped making content. Nearly no one covers this part of California either. So I'm very pleased to see your channel. Keep up the great work and Thanks again👍
Thank YOU, friend. I can tell Gem Hill is a special place to you too! I’m surprised we haven’t crossed paths out there. And it seems, from some of your other vidz that there are a couple other places we also hit up. Such as Clay mine road and vicinity. We may have even been out at Gem Hill the same time a few years back. I brought a pretty big group out and we were over at the south east slope. We saw a truck up on top of the ‘green’ hill…that could’ve been you. Again, hope to see you out there sometime. 💎
Gem Hill is just west and a little north of Rosamond, CA. There’s pretty fair descriptions in the Southern Calif. Rockhound books. That’s how I found it many years ago. Also took field trips there with clubs. There’s a couple ways to get in there. I’ve never been skunked there. And never even disappointed. I’m sure there is So Much more just waiting to be found!💎
Awesome! Thanks for checking us out. I’ll let you know next time I go out into the field. I’ll leave a comment on your latest video when I get the time to go back out. Hopefully we can meet up. I’m thinking Lavic might be my next trip. But unfortunately, because of work, I can’t say exactly when. 💎
@Rockhounding with Jasper Blue ok cool I just Came from there. There are several cool spots along the way me and my friend and I might go again this Thursday
Hi. Well, normally I just wash them real good with a hose and then cut them. I’m also looking forward to carving some of them. For real hard mud, a pressure washer would probably be pretty good to use. I’m also gonna get a high pressure pin-point fabric stain removing gun for real tight places. Some people get a sand blaster and use baking soda in it. For real stubborn staining or heavy calcium build-up, I soak them in Muriatic Acid. But that stuff can be dangerous so one needs to take real good precautions when handling it.
I am also gemstone Hunter, from India, what the people think about gemstone Hunter in American? Here not ok, but i love gemstones, so i go for gemstones hunting still also
Here, many people love rockhounding and making gems. I am happy to hear you love gem hunting! Now, many young people also love rock and gem hunting too. I saw your videos. It looks like you have found many nice stones. I wish you good luck to find more!💎
1:55 amazing agatized jasper it looks like. I could be wrong but I have one that looks very similar but it solely jasper. Beautiful Chalcedony through it. Some really cool find you got there, where around are you rockhounding at?
So far, all the videos are in Southern California. And these spots are in the Southern California books. Gem Hill is in Rosamond, near Edwards AFB. Lavic Siding is out by Barstow. Right now it’s WAY too hot for me out there. But I’m really wanting to get back out there as soon as it cools down a little. We’re about to put out a ‘Beach’ hounding video we did a couple weeks ago.
@@rockhoundingwithjasperblue Awesome, we just went to the beach as well found more fossils then rocks haha, went to a beach called Agate Beach, found no agates. And I feel you with the heat wave. It's pretty hot here and Cali is even hotter. Next week's suppose to cool down.
@@OregonRocks there’s an Agate Beach up in Bolinas, Ca. Just north of San Francisco. The place is a little hard to find at first. But if you go at the right time, you can find these little gems called ‘Oil Agates’. Sometimes you can find a few that are about an inch long. Real awesome and unique Agates. They glow yellow-orange under a long wave UV light and are SUPER hard! There’s also some Whale Bone there!
What material is the tumblers?? Is it chalcedony? I found quite a bunch of material like that and don’t know for sure what it is! They tumble up beautifully! I know that because I just keep tumbling it lol I found it all on the reservation in my own back yard :) it’s so pretty!
@@rockersfromaz3001 at that point in the vid, those are a mix, I’m fairly certain, of moss agate, Jasper, chlorite-the kind of matte green stuff, with some chalcedony thrown in the mix. It’s all types of silica mixed together. A very unique place. I often wonder what went on there to cause such variety!
Now that I’m looking at that part, I think I doubled up on a couple of those😳That last one looks like Tree Agate. I’m glad you like them. Thanks for checking us out!💎
Hi. Most of them are agates. Some are mixed with Jasper and are called Jaspagates. There is Rhyolite and even some petrified wood in there. Some of the green colored material is opalite and some is Chlorite. Over at Gem Hill a lot of the material got nicely mixed up way back when it was cooking in the earth. The mixing of the different materials makes for some very unique and wild patterns in the pieces we find. I would’ve really liked to have been there when the place was first discovered. There is still to this day some very nice material to be found. I was there about a month ago with some friends and we did very well. Have a great day. 💎
@@rockhoundingwithjasperblue Wow! Thanks for the response. I live about .5 mile away in the little group of houses just west of Mojave-Tropico Rd. on Sweetser. I grew up riding my dirt bike all over those trails. That's why I was curious.
@@TruthHurts2u Well, thanks for checking us out. I would think that those hills and trails offer almost endless adventures to be had! I can only imagine what it must be like living out there. You must’ve seen some pretty cool things over the years.
Yes there is pet wood there. Most of it is dull white or a grey-brown color. But I have found some pretty cool stuff that I call RhyolAgateWood. It appears to be a combination of all 3. It looks and cleaves like Arizona Pet Wood.
Hi. I took Mojave-Tropico road. You come to a left turn, coming from the south, and go up a little road through a flat area with a bunch of big white rocks surrounding the flat area. It looks like massive parking lot. Go through there veering right. A two-drive will get you most of the way in. BEWARE. There are a bunch of signs stating no trespassing and that we are on private land. I don’t know how legit those signs are. They look like someone just slapped them up. However, there are other signs that say Property of Portland Cement Co. Right to pass subject to…I believe they are the actual owner. But the site appears to be abandoned. Beyond the signs is BLM land. You can always go in the other way and walk over Gem Hill. But that’s a long walk… Good Luck. 💎
Do you sell any of your rocks? I would love to have a large flat rate box off them, including tumblers. I don't live anywhere near a good place to rock hound.
I don’t sell anything just yet. But that IS in the works. We need to work out all the logistics and such. But there is a plan…I will definitely let you know.
Yes. For the first few times I was just stopping by there and didn’t have one handy. I’m pretty sure I didn’t even have boots on. But yes, after a while even I can’t keep that up!😜. I usually always have one with me now. Thanks for checking us out. 💎
Hi .. great finds.. i found similar stuff at gem hill. Beautiful stuff 😊
Just ABSOLUTELY Beeeeeeeutyful stuff you get to play with!!!! Keep Rockin!!
Thank You!!💎
Wow those agates!

Thank you, TRP! 💎
This land is yours own? Great place and full of gems different verity possible get good luck
Hi. Thank You for watching. No, I don’t own this. It is public land. So anyone can go there. There is still lots of very nice material there!💎
Green banded agate looks like a fossilized dinosaur head lol.
Now that you mention that, it kind of does! 🦖 Thank you for checking us out!💎
Where is gem hill!!! I want to go rockhounding there so bad! You find amazing stuff! WOW! 👍🤗

@Rockhounding with Jasper Blue ok cool I just Came from there. There are several cool spots along the way me and my friend and I might go again this Thursday
What do you do to clean up your agates? pressure wash, Iron Out, cleaner? Do you cut the agates?

How much earn this trip, all stones are great
I have not sold any yet. I will cut and polish them first. 💎

Wouldn't it be simpler to bring along a spray bottle than to lick every single rock??
Yes. For the first few times I was just stopping by there and didn’t have one handy. I’m pretty sure I didn’t even have boots on. But yes, after a while even I can’t keep that up!😜. I usually always have one with me now. Thanks for checking us out. 💎
Where is Gem Hill? I wanna go
‘This’ Gem Hill is a little north and west of Rosamond, Ca. It’s in the Rockhounding books for Southern California.
