Many years ago, my son and me picked up stones on the beach. ( in Goa, India). I didn't know anything about it. I kept it because I like decorating. Put stones in pots and vases. Today, its thrill to look at it. Some agates some jasper's. But it still looks pretty in pots and vases. Thanks to your video, I'm learning a lot. It's a fascinating thing. For those who have the chance of having this as a hobby, it's great. Have fun , collecting the pretty gifts from nature. Good health to all. Wish you all the very best.
Omg 😮 thank you for sharing your wonderful video on how to identify precious stones I’m definitely going to keep an eye out once I’m back home Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 “Gracias”👍🙏👏👏👏🇵🇷🇵🇷😍😍 , I enjoyed watching you picking up these stones like a huge kid 🧒 in a candy store .
Oh, wish you could send some to me. Loved watching this video. And felt like picking up all the beautiful coloured ones. That's a super collection. Cheers
Thank you for sharing 🤗 lived in Washington my entire life and always seen these rocks and sea glasses. Just never knew till now how to create. I’m actually going to the shore memorial weekend! Bringing a bucket! Hope I can ask u questions on how to polish them and prep them. Thank you so much
@@BackYardGardeningTip Ha ha. Do what I do. I load up the pack with rocks and then hand it to my friend and tell him it's full of beer, and he will carry it to the car for you.
@@saltpepperketchup7082 HaHa... I don't have any friends... well ones who are willing to walk as long and as far as I do. Not even my wife will walk with me unless it's a place I can't find rocks. :)
Believe it or not, most of the agates I find are in bags of river rock and pebbles that you find in any garden center. I usually get my bags from Wal-Mart because it's the closet to me and they are only $3.99 a 40 pound bag! You do have to wash all the rock but I find so many that it is a joy to sit out on a nice sunny day, on my rolling cart, sit down with the hose and wash the rocks, in the bags they come in. Just stick the hose in the bag ( all the bags have tiny holes in them ) rinse them, the water drains out through the tiny holes and just start picking. Some of them are huge in the bag of river rocks but in the river pebbles they are small. Lots of fun and I have a huge collection! When we were vacationing in the Smokey Mountains, my husband and I go into rivers and streams and I found a near perfect 3-4 pound river agate, smooth from being tumbled down the river. Yellow in color and when you shine a flashlight through it, it's translucent through most of it and opaque in the middle, because it is so huge! Enjoyed your video. Wish we had rocky beaches here on the East Coast but the ones we do have are much too far for this old girl, to get to. Have a great time agate hunting! 😉😊
I’m your typical Myrtle beach guy, so where are rocky beaches in the east to find rocks for tumbling. I’m new to tumbling and your idea of rocks from wal-mart is genius since it is brought in...never thought of that! Thanks!
I find my best days to hunt for agates to be days with some mist and slight rain. The moisture on the agates only causes them to stand out with greater brilliance compared to the surrounding dull quartz, basalt or jasper.
Great video!!! They all looked so pretty, I would have taken the whole beach with me. I just found a few stones in my backyard but I don't know how to classify them 😅 I want to know if they are crystals to use for my meditation or just plain rocks
Wish I could come across such a place! Here in Finland I only know of some amethyst mines that allow you to come see them, but they're all the way in Lapland, and you couldn't go looking for nice things yourself even there. I've found a few nice things on roadsides and fields but that's it. Maybe one day!
If I lived near a beach like these (especially the pebble beaches) I would be bringing buckets of interesting rocks home each time. Definitely would have to learn the art of wire wrapping. Sadly I live several hours away from the shore.
I love agate. Here, in the state of Maryland, these agates don't exist - at least none that I have found. However, I do find a lot of agatized coral called Favosites that come in translucent colors, like what you show here, but with with honeycombs. One day I cam going to polish up my collection, or make some jewelry out of it.
I've been trying to figure where ring have where may came from and unsure if found coast in California area.. or jeweler once had and possible if around Montana and tree moss or what kind agate. very many different agate stones.
We find geodes here in Ky they are beautiful I’m a rock hound❤️ I’ve never found an agate here but I believe we have them. Most common in my area are blue and expensive
ha i thought you said Dana Point , CA lol i was like breathing fire its like a preservation you can visit but must not disturb environment beautiful shells crystals agates gems everything love that place its a shame to see how much we destroy when you go past the boundary line and literately there is nothing but thrash and beer caps .
Beautiful...I love rocks. I just subscribed to your channel. We dont have any rocks where I live. Do you sell small, pendant size? I love the ones that are red in color.
We have been creating sea glass earrings and necklaces for about a year now. Our etsy.com store is "pnwbeachtreasures" - for now we only have sea glass related jewelry but would like to start using some of our agates. Thanks for the comments.
I live in Hawaii and unfortunately we do not have any of these beautiful stones. Do you sell any? I would love to have a few! I wish I could go on the beach and get some myself!
NUNCA VI NADA PARECIDO COM ESSAS PEDRAS !!! TÔ APAIXONADA POR ELAS!!! SANTO DEUS COMO EU QUERIA UMA VERMELHA, VINHO AZUL VERDE TRANSPARENTE ETC... UMA DE CADA COR QUE ESTÁ NAQUELA PRAIA!!! QUE LINDASSSSSS! PARABÉNS TIM!!!
I will have to go through my collection and see if I have any agates and when I am out tomorrow I will be looking for these specifically. Thanks for the great video.
We walked to the tip of Damon point and it was just sand! No rock.. Tides don’t seem to change the outcome. Any advance finding the good gravel beds out there these days?
The tides during the year bring in various amounts of sand. Some months there are more gravel beds exposed. I enjoy going out during the Winter months when the storms have raked the beach and brought new stones up on the beach.
How do you know the agates from the other beautiful stones? I've never been to the west coast but this would be quite an incentive for me as I love "gems".
agates are very unique rock formations that are washed down rivers into water ways and out to sea. They are found washed up on beaches and have a very unique appearance compared to other quartz rocks or basalt. Quartz is a crystaline rock formation with a somewhat opaque appearance. Agates are much clearer and almost look like glass with a textured surface appearance. The agate is typically formed inside a volcanic type rock air pocket or fissure. A silica substance seeps into the air pocket and slowly forms layers of rock over time. This rock formation becomes a layered geode with visible banding inside the clear rock. When you pick up an agate on the beach you can typically see a rough surface that portrays the interior of the host rock that formed it. The agate really stands out on the beach as it glows in the sunlight against the other dull colored quartz, red jasper or darker basalt rock. They truly are semi precious jewels deposited on most beaches awaiting our discovery! more info on my web page pnwbeachcombing.com look on the "rocks" page with details about agates. Wherever you find rock bed deposits on river banks, lake beaches or the East Coast beaches you should find agates!
Mr.Tim blair we have a similar beach.in.Costa Rica in peninsula of Nicoya.the place are exclusivity in my Contry and when.i saw.your Wonderfull report .always i.remenber my.beach in.Cos ta Rica called Barco.Quebrado .is a mate Rial.easy for polish and tum bling for making jewelry.
If you can find rock beds with many varieties of stones you might be able to find agates. If there are many rivers that feed the deposits down from the hills that are close by your local beaches then you may find agates. I found this web site with many maps of the NSW area. It might be helpful for you. Have a great time exploring and agate hunting!
Тим!! Ничего не поняла, бо языка не знаю, но агаты очень красивые!!!! Мой камень по гороскопу, и другие камни очень красивы!!! А еще есть красота такая называется- чароит- редок и чрезвычайно красив!!
Спасибо за добрый комментарий. Может быть, вы найдете программу Google, которая переведет мой английский на русский для вас. Продолжайте искать красивые камни. Бог создал их для нас, чтобы они наслаждались!
I looked up your area on the Internet and there are Agates in the Gurasada, Romania area. The Mures Vally is reported to have agates also. Let me know if you find some in your country!
well yes Tim they are , but they aren't :) , they are dull in color like brown etc...and don't look like agates to me :) .. I like colors and patterns so no chance for me ...and yes in north is the best way to find some stones ..to bad is so far from my town ..Brasov ! ,I love stones and I collect them since I was a kid ..I'm 31 now and I want to build a lapidary machine to cut some agates and polish them as a hobby ..the sad part is I have to buy them from internet ...and on ebay from US to Romania I pay more for the shipment then the stone itself ! :) , have a good day and I will wait more videos , well done cya

I love how you hover and pause a moment to give us a chance to scan the beach and to see if you pick up what catches our eye. Well done!
Yeah I like that too.

Such awesome pieces, they really stand out. The rain makes all of them look good enough to take home. Such a beautiful beach, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Love this video! I have picked up agates on the beach while shell hunting! I had no idea they were agates until now!!!!! Thank You!
Oh, wish you could send some to me.

How do you not want to pick up every rock. I do! Lovely
HaHaHa... I do want to pick up every rock on the beach but I stop when my legs start to buckle from the weight in my backpack.

Wow! They are gems!

WA. Looks like a great place to find all kinds of agates! Fun, fun ,fun even as the rain comes down!
I find my best days to hunt for agates to be days with some mist and slight rain. The moisture on the agates only causes them to stand out with greater brilliance compared to the surrounding dull quartz, basalt or jasper.
Wow. I wish i was there. Such an adventure. I want the rocks Gigmaster. So many beauties.
Oh my gosh, some of the pieces you picked up look like beautiful sea glass!!

Hey Tim a link to your website would be a nice touch. Great video.
Lovely stones. Do you polish them or just keep them as a raw collection?

I would love to find agates like that human heart here in Northumberland. mainly, I find chips of agate and larger Jasper. you have some cool finds
I've always found these agates in rockbeds and the vast majority of them are unbanded. I finally know them now!
We find geodes here in Ky they are beautiful I’m a rock hound❤️ I’ve never found an agate here but I believe we have them. Most common in my area are blue and expensive
I wish to find a few of those gems.
