I have loads of stones at home which are of great value to me. They have little or no monetary value, but each one tells a story, and encapsulates memories.
I & My kids love this...as a hobby, so we have visited Kahmir,Kalam, Behrain, Swat n Bunair (Pk) and have collected from mines/men, while a few from the waters (including) 100 + unique gemstones in last 37 years.
Wish I could afford to travel all over - heck, anywhere else - for rock hunting. But, just local rivers, beaches, will have to do for me. Still I do LOVE rock collecting & am getting a rock tumbler/polisher now to bring out more of their beauty. Have boxes of rocks I found pretty or interesting to pick up when wet. For me, it's a fun thing I can enjoy for free while out in nature. I don't expect to ever find anything of value. But if I did, would likely spend the money to go rock hunting in other not-local places, where different types can be found. How exciting & fun that would be!

Hello, I have become an enthusiast for rock collecting the last couple of years (maybe longer). Last June, I bought a house in Bethany, CT. It has a brook that runs straight across my back yard, I would estimate that it is about eight feet wide and the section that is on my property is a couple acres in length, after a decent rain storm that thing gets very, very high and FAST, so there is a fair amount of space for me to “ rock hound” in my spare time (ha, spare time). I’ve panned a couple of times but not too much, didn’t find anything that I recognized as being precious, semi precious, but am going to do it whenever I have a chance. I need some training on recognizing what is valuable and what isn’t. You video helped, but I need to find someone local that I could hang with one day and get some knowledge, thank you for the video. Wish me luck, I could a few thousand (or even a few hundred) in my pocket, owning a home (especially one built in 1935) is expensive. I still have some iron pipes running from my well, yes, it’s that old, ha!
If you break open a stone and find diamond-like and coal-like objects inside, it's likely you are encountering minerals or rocks that exhibit certain features. Here's a breakdown of what you might be seeing: 1. **Quartz**: The diamond-like object could be quartz. Quartz is a common and abundant mineral that often forms clear, hexagonal crystals, giving it a diamond-like appearance. 2. **Calcite**: Another possibility for the diamond-like object is calcite, which can also form clear crystals, though it is softer than quartz. 3. **Pyrite**: Known as "fool's gold," pyrite has a metallic luster and can sometimes be mistaken for precious metals or even diamonds due to its shiny appearance. 4. **Graphite**: The coal-like object could be graphite, which is a form of carbon. Graphite is soft, has a greasy feel, and is commonly found in metamorphic rocks. 5. **Coal**: If the stone is sedimentary and contains organic material, the coal-like substance could indeed be coal or a similar carbon-rich material. 6. **Other Minerals**: There are many other minerals that can exhibit similar characteristics to those described. For instance, galena (a lead ore) can have a metallic luster, and various forms of chalcedony can appear diamond-like. To determine the exact nature of these objects, consider these properties: - **Hardness**: Use the Mohs hardness scale to test the hardness of the minerals. Quartz, for example, has a hardness of 7, while calcite is 3. - **Luster**: Observe whether the mineral has a metallic, vitreous (glassy), or dull luster. - **Cleavage and Fracture**: Notice how the mineral breaks. Quartz tends to fracture conchoidally, while calcite has rhombohedral cleavage. - **Streak**: Rubbing the mineral on a streak plate can reveal its true color in powdered form. Graphite leaves a black streak, for example. For an accurate identification, you might want to consult a geologist or use a detailed field guide to minerals and rocks.
I find a lot of quartz! Thank you for sharing you sure taught me a couple things I’m just starting to collect and I have so many of 3 different types you shared!
I’ve always harbored an interest in this hobby before moving to my current hobby of 30+ years of numismatics. On occasions I’ll pick up a cool looking stone.
Southern Oregon actually has most of these surprisingly. Multiple varieties of Jasper, multiple different types of agate either made of quartz or chalcedony, chalcedony with blue coloration ive found in my town in oregon. Ive even mined for fire opal in oregon.
@janthran yeah unfortunately northern Oregon is much more developed so it's harder to find areas of BLM land or places that just aren't Disturbed and aren't private property. Southern Oregon and Eastern Oregon are really good though and it's not too difficult to find BLM spots
Yea , some are valuable. But no one ever tells you who or where you can sale them for big money. I have hundreds of quartz crystals and other semi-precious stones. Not one person has offered a dime for them. And yes I have shown them and advertised them. Guess what? NO TAKERS. WHO BUYS THEM????? Where can you sell them?????
@@shawnnorrell1686 most of the value comes from the art added to a stone. Take diamonds for example. Raw diamonds do not sell. Precisely cut it to maximize its refractive properties and set it in gold, then and only then will it sell. Specimens can sell, but they are more rare.
I am from minnesota. I just got 10 loads of gravel delivered. For our property. So far I have found a 56 lb banded jasper rock. And about 75 more lbs of different kinds of banded jasper and beautiful red jasper pieces ranging up to 25lbs. I love my gravel piles.
I'm from Missouri and have a creek that runs through our property that I've found several interesting stones in like petrofied wood and even a tooth from an extinct species of bison.

When i was a kid, my family and i would go camping every once in awhile. During one camping moment we went to a stream to swim and look for small fish and crawfish. But my mom looked for pretty looking rocks. She ended up finding a long heavy semi transparent pink stone. Size of a pint of milk - carton. It had sparkling thin layers of yellow metal. And weighed more than 25 lbs. I didn't know what it was. She took it home and always placed it next to our plants. Thinking about her stone, about 8 or 9 years ago, her stone just disappeared. It was most likely stolen from a burglar in our apartment. And she has no idea what it was. It was a huge rose quartz with a gold vein inside the crystal. The gold inside made the stone very heavy
it could be gold or a rutile filament, but even so it could be a relatively valuable stone in the case of a quartz, what a shame it was stolen, if you allow me I would like to tell your story in a video on the channel when the opportunity arises, thank you for subscribing to our channel!
Incorrect on the type of most expensive opal. Australian back opal from Lightning Ridge is by far the most expensive opal, followed by all other Australian opal.

I was hiking in Custer Park last summer,going up Black Elk mountain. It's a very rugged climb with a lot of loose dirt and rocks. I'm an old guy with thick glasses so I was looking down watching my steps and found a blood red garnet tucked at the base of a large bolder. The stone is about .75" long and about. 25" wide . I think it might have 6 perfect crystal sides. It's embedded in red granite. Who should I take it to?
I live in Weslaco, Tx I’m new at this but I have started a small collection. Still not sure exactly what I might have, but thanks to you I know where to start. Finding a Geologist in my area to confirm my gem findings …I will keep you updated. Ty again
We have a creek in my town that is full of fossilized shark teeth. Ammonites are frequently found in the area too. I’ve seen some that are more than foot wide.
I'm from Bristol, England, and I found a nice rock that caught my eye. It's a Chinese writing stone. I found it whilst prospecting in South Wales. 👍🏻⚒️🏴
Hi, I live in Canada, and have a small little island in the North of Quebec. Rocks there are filled with calcite and mica. The zone around there is known for gold. I will start looking at my little rocks to make some jewelry just for fun, so your video was most interesting!
Thank you man your videos are so good and impressive. We almost every day am in Zimbabwe I recently discovered clear quarts in rural area where am living, hope to discover more. There lot of variety stones, I even suspect that I once came across red skin stones while stained with blood, I was very young then.
I’ve always been fascinated by pretty rocks but never considered it as a hobby. I liked to go fishing in places where most people avoid,off the beaten path. Rocks everywhere. Maybe I find a keeper? 👍
At my workplace the company was repaving the driveway leading to the warehouse with granite gravel,well one day I was sitting where the heap of gravel was and while smoking a cigarette I went to put the cigarette on the gravel ,whiles pushing the cigarette towards the gravel I looked down and saw a stone that is clear with a slight pinkish color plus some darker lines in side the stone .I wash it and from that day I kept in my wallet,ever so often I look at it and the color is getting even more pink ,plus the lines inside the stone is getting even darker,I am always intrigued with the stones I see in gravel heaps ,rivers ,and each Tim I find one ,people will tell me we don't have expensive gems in our country because of the vast amount crude oil that we are rich in I will continue to keep that little peddle in my wallet,for some reasons I feels it worth a lot but I won't have valuelated in my country,I will get negative answers.
I just moved to kansas from arizona and have brought all my rocks ive collected with me, the people who helped me move werent thrilled about unloading all of them especially the petrified wood. So where in kansas do i go to to continue my love for rocks.
All we find here in southwest Virginia tends to be quartz with tons of limestone. We find the rare fossil, but not much else. Doesn’t stop me from bringing home tons lol! 😎
I have 10 acres in Imperial Texas, it is a Desolate Desert Wasteland, but lots of sand and rocks lol, I see most of the stones you've shown seem to be near rivers, what kind of semiprecious stones can be found in my region?
Now i know, i seen already these precious stone before I didn’t know how valuable they are. Now i will going to our province to find precious stones😅😅😅
@@GetERekted thanks. I wasn't sure about what it really was because the crystals aren't pointed like normal quartz crystals, they are more like square shaped and also stuck to the rock, and the app I use said it could be calcite or quartz. I don't know if quartz crystals can have other shapes.
@@centurion1.074 Yes they can have different shapes! Quartz and calcite can also be different colors due to the impurities. To tell the diffence between the two you will need a piece of glass: Quartz is 9 on the moh's hardness scale, meaning it will scratch glass. Calcite is 3 meaning it will never scratch glass.
@@GetERekted Ooohh okok. I knew they can have different colors but shapes I didn't. I thought about the glass test. By the way, isn't quartz a 7 on the scale? Than for the info.
I do not know of "Value", but I live in Beaufort, SC. While out hunting for seashells, I saw a unique black shape. I picked it up and it looked like the bone hooks people wear on necklaces, but not plastic and not a nice neat white bone material. I took it to a museum, and they looked at it and asked where I had found it. I told them and showed them on the map. They said I had found a "pre-historic piece of jewelry." They did not mention the value or if it had value at all, But I offered to let them keep it on display and they seemed thrilled. It's not much bigger than a US Quarter, it's shaped vary similar to the "fishhook" necklaces we see all the time. They are apparently mimicking these. It's obviously not as perfect as they didn't have molds and such thousands of years ago (or whatever pre-historic meant by the lady at the museum). It's too thick to be a real hook.... That was before my rock hounding hobby I just started. I got into this because I was walking and talking with the neighbor's boy and as we walked, he found two arrowheads. I look for them and never find them. Then I was walking with his dad and he found one. I decided I had to start learning what and how to look for sharks' teeth, arrow heads or whatever.... Then I found this.
I am from Cyprus (if you know where this is). Do you know if there is a posibility of precious stones here as there is a volcanic island. Where can i send you a few photos of stones i found?
I’m from central Louisiana and I have piles of agates as well as drusys right in my driveway. Never knew until I stumbled upon a few one day that the kids brought me to look at.

I think it might have 6 perfect crystal sides. It's embedded in red granite. Who should I take it to?
I don't think its is a garnet could be spinal or better! Search for a gemoligist
I live in Weslaco, Tx I’m new at this but I have started a small collection. Still not sure exactly what I might have, but thanks to you I know where to start. Finding a Geologist in my area to confirm my gem findings …I will keep you updated. Ty again
We have a creek in my town that is full of fossilized shark teeth. Ammonites are frequently found in the area too. I’ve seen some that are more than foot wide.
Lexington Kentucky, I go to the red river Gorge every now and then if you’re familiar identify that area with that region?
There is a ditch which hadi some azurite traces, but inside it, you could feel some sort of electric shock, what could that suggest
this is the best chanel

I'm from Bristol, England, and I found a nice rock that caught my eye. It's a Chinese writing stone. I found it whilst prospecting in South Wales. 👍🏻⚒️🏴
Hi, I live in Canada, and have a small little island in the North of Quebec. Rocks there are filled with calcite and mica. The zone around there is known for gold. I will start looking at my little rocks to make some jewelry just for fun, so your video was most interesting!
Thank you man your videos are so good and impressive. We almost every day am in Zimbabwe I recently discovered clear quarts in rural area where am living, hope to discover more. There lot of variety stones, I even suspect that I once came across red skin stones while stained with blood, I was very young then.
I found 2 killo black stone but it has kind of shine on top of full body like crash glass can i break it & look inside ???
I’ve always been fascinated by pretty rocks but never considered it as a hobby. I liked to go fishing in places where most people avoid,off the beaten path. Rocks everywhere. Maybe I find a keeper? 👍
At my workplace the company was repaving the driveway leading to the warehouse with granite gravel,well one day I was sitting where the heap of gravel was and while smoking a cigarette I went to put the cigarette on the gravel ,whiles pushing the cigarette towards the gravel I looked down and saw a stone that is clear with a slight pinkish color plus some darker lines in side the stone .I wash it and from that day I kept in my wallet,ever so often I look at it and the color is getting even more pink ,plus the lines inside the stone is getting even darker,I am always intrigued with the stones I see in gravel heaps ,rivers ,and each Tim I find one ,people will tell me we don't have expensive gems in our country because of the vast amount crude oil that we are rich in I will continue to keep that little peddle in my wallet,for some reasons I feels it worth a lot but I won't have valuelated in my country,I will get negative answers.
I just moved to kansas from arizona and have brought all my rocks ive collected with me, the people who helped me move werent thrilled about unloading all of them especially the petrified wood. So where in kansas do i go to to continue my love for rocks.
How can I help with this channel
Hi
From Philippines I love your channel
I'm new to this hobby, from Connecticut.
All we find here in southwest Virginia tends to be quartz with tons of limestone. We find the rare fossil, but not much else. Doesn’t stop me from bringing home tons lol! 😎
I have 10 acres in Imperial Texas, it is a Desolate Desert Wasteland, but lots of sand and rocks lol, I see most of the stones you've shown seem to be near rivers, what kind of semiprecious stones can be found in my region?
Any good stones in Norway ?
Look it up. Go onto your preferred search engine and type in “common gemstone in Norway”
Thank you very much.i am very much interested .
Nice content ang additional information about Gemstone. Extra hunting. 😂🤣🌠Last meteorite hunting👌😁🤙
As a child I have seen almost all these stones.. Imagine the money I missed playing in the river

Thanks for helping others I'm from Nigeria can I find as while
I am from Jamaica I found some beautiful stones
I'm from Portugal and I have found calcite, possibly quartz and also some red colored agates.
Geologist here. Quartz are a safe bet since they are the most stable mineral, making them invulnerable to weathering.
@@GetERekted thanks. I wasn't sure about what it really was because the crystals aren't pointed like normal quartz crystals, they are more like square shaped and also stuck to the rock, and the app I use said it could be calcite or quartz. I don't know if quartz crystals can have other shapes.
@@centurion1.074 Yes they can have different shapes! Quartz and calcite can also be different colors due to the impurities. To tell the diffence between the two you will need a piece of glass: Quartz is 9 on the moh's hardness scale, meaning it will scratch glass. Calcite is 3 meaning it will never scratch glass.
@@GetERekted Ooohh okok. I knew they can have different colors but shapes I didn't.
I thought about the glass test.
By the way, isn't quartz a 7 on the scale?
Than for the info.
I'm from Louisiana and I love to rock hound
then we're alike
Read your reply and am now wondering,,QUESTION?
IS galena,= LEAD, POISONOUS? OR ANY HEALTH HAZARD TO HUMANS?? LIKE LEAD PAINT AND THE LIKE??
Woow, great information
I do not know of "Value", but I live in Beaufort, SC. While out hunting for seashells, I saw a unique black shape. I picked it up and it looked like the bone hooks people wear on necklaces, but not plastic and not a nice neat white bone material. I took it to a museum, and they looked at it and asked where I had found it. I told them and showed them on the map. They said I had found a "pre-historic piece of jewelry." They did not mention the value or if it had value at all, But I offered to let them keep it on display and they seemed thrilled. It's not much bigger than a US Quarter, it's shaped vary similar to the "fishhook" necklaces we see all the time. They are apparently mimicking these. It's obviously not as perfect as they didn't have molds and such thousands of years ago (or whatever pre-historic meant by the lady at the museum). It's too thick to be a real hook.... That was before my rock hounding hobby I just started. I got into this because I was walking and talking with the neighbor's boy and as we walked, he found two arrowheads. I look for them and never find them. Then I was walking with his dad and he found one. I decided I had to start learning what and how to look for sharks' teeth, arrow heads or whatever.... Then I found this.
Hi how do I get the stones valued and where do I get it done..?

I have a question, are there high chances of opals in Japan? specifically Okinawa?
I am from Cyprus (if you know where this is). Do you know if there is a posibility of precious stones here as there is a volcanic island.
Where can i send you a few photos of stones i found?
I’m in the sierras of Northern California. What should I be looking for?
I’m from central Louisiana and I have piles of agates as well as drusys right in my driveway. Never knew until I stumbled upon a few one day that the kids brought me to look at.
Awesome informative vide
Quartz is my favorite
