Great video. Cool rocks and love the micro shots. I'm fairly sure #2 if porphyritic basalt, which is basalt with large visible crystals. The crystals are called phenocrysts, and they are often feldspar minerals. I did some research because I find them at Fort Stevens and I have 3 ready for the cutting table at some point. Good job 👏
Nice cuts. Hampton butte definitely has some nice petwood and other stuff. The microscope pictures were cool. I have bought many slabs from fb groupsI am in. Also from AZ Rockhound Expeditions. Among other places.
