I know. I love that piece as well. My favorite. I'm putting that location on my Got To Go list and try for some of that specific material. Maybe some day. Thanks
@@CityRockhounding Yep Kay's awesome, rocks awesome, and yes lots of fun. The anticipation since I first got them was driving me crazy. Had to get it done. Oh and another video is almost ready. Hopefully this weekend. I did the unboxing of your rocks, the cuts, the reveal, and now I'm editing. That video is fun to do. Cool rocks but also because there's an absolutely ridiculous part in there as my personal thanks to you. I'm a little embarrassed about it but the family says, just do it. Cue the poem...but did I really speed it up into a rap? Oh no Fred, what have you done. 🤦 🤣
@just-one-more-rock nice, looking forward to seeing that and the rap! It's good to put yourself out there, I need to do more of this myself! Haha can't wait for this video man, that's awesome and creative, you rock buddy! Have fun editing it, I enjoy editing videos, put your little artistic spin on things!
@@CityRockhounding I'm reminded life's too short not to take some leaps. Putting myself out there is crazy to me, as a normally reserved person to the outside world. I'm loco in my own home.
Did I show you the one I had polished up? I'll have to see if I can figure out where I put it. It actually took a really nice shine around the 600 grit.
Definitely some interesting and cool material. Never seen it before. Reminds me of another material, can’t remember the name of, that is basically fossilized beans. Not saying that’s what those are. Cool stuff Fred.
@@JnVrockhounding Fossilized beans? That would be interesting. I've read these oolites start as grains of sand or shell bits, that get tumbled and layered in highly calcium carbonated water. The grains get layered and layered over time to create the oolites. Those layered grained oolites end up on the sedimentary bed, and get cemented together to give us the rocks. Cool.
Thanks MineCache. I can hardly wait to get them done. That's really nice of you to say. I never would have expected so much appreciation and praise for just sharing something I love to do. I appreciate you for watching and commenting. What else could a simple guy ask for?
these lovely oolites demonstrate the ripening of the fruit of these rocks given more time ....... very beautiful - i would be tempted to infill or set the ones with gunk between and show that off too as a specimen to do just what you have done - a wonderful illustration !
@@Betty-RockBetty I've got family in Ashland so maybe a trip to see them, and then a jaunt eastward. Plus my brother is working on getting a placer gold claim about half way that he wants to show me. And because of me doing this channel, he's now a rock freak. I got em 😆.
@@Mike-br8vb I know. I love this stuff. It blew me away when I seen it at Kay's. That video is full of cool stuff to look at from Kay's collection if you haven't seen it yet. Thanks my guy.
2:00 Ou otta be kidding me Fred! Ou think I ould be making ome silly omment on omething ouve orked o hard on! Ou no me vewy well silly wabbit. 5:57 They look like fossilized corn flakes or oatmeal in syrup! Now I'm hungry. Wonder if they'll cab? 6:52 Sing the old Post Honeycomb cereal song! It's appropriate! Opal or onyx or calcite? Probably not calcite, but you could acid test for that to be sure. Enjoyed the video your Fredness ❤❤.
@@RickSmith-kp3sy Now that's my man. I knew you wouldn't let me down. Honeycomb big, yeah yeah yeah. It's not small, no no no 😆 I think some will cab. I'm going to try at least at some point. I don't know if I'll ever get to testing but good idea. Thanks and have a great day my friend.
@@emlovesagates I'm going to try to do them justice, but I'm no You 😉. Maybe I'll hide a slab away, just in case I fail and I need you to do it right. Thanks

I'd never heard of that before so I looked it up. I see what you're saying. I don't have that equipment but I do have a blacklight and I was looking at the images when you made this comment. I knew something was missing when I put together this video. It was the studio blacklight images. I'm so scatterbrained. Thanks
@@Betty-RockBetty 😂, yep...i just opened them, oiled them up, and plated them. That's one of those sentences that could be taken out of context 🤣 My bad 😊
The fact that you are brave enough to cut these with a tile saw says it all.... you my friend are a Rockstar 😊. Those cuts looked great 👍 👌 👏
@@yaydadcooking I don't know about brave...just broke 😆. Gotta use what I can get, and that's not much.
Thanks bro.
Very cool specimens. I really liked 4 & 6.
@@pattycake3585 6 is so much my favorite. Wish it were larger, but no complaints. Thanks.
Really liked the pieces with the white material.
I know. I love that piece as well. My favorite. I'm putting that location on my Got To Go list and try for some of that specific material. Maybe some day. Thanks
Thanks Kay, you both rock! Love the Oolites, so pretty looks like little agate eyes, so cool how these form! I bet these were fun to cut!

6:43 that's awesome 👍
Thanks Fred ! Another Amazing Video !
Can't wait to see those polished up and slabbed! This guy is doing some amazing work.
Thanks MineCache. I can hardly wait to get them done.

I love how you related the stone to ripening fruit. Great analogy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Love the state of Oregon.
@namasu101 When it comes to many things and Oregon, we are blessed. Lots of wonderful minerals to be found.
3:12 They are cool!!! Lake county is a long dang drive, I did some work down there -but I didn’t get to rock hound!

Hey Fred, that was cool material. Hope to see some polished up!
@@jimdutcher6678 For sure. I think I have to try a cab. Polishing will be nice but I think it deserves some extra attention. Thanks

Is Oolite hard to find at the lake or is it plentiful?
