@marilynumstead6100 I couldn't believe he said I'm here at Yellowstone and I found a yellow rock. Oh well. It looks beautiful anyway. Good find buddy.
I'd love to see more finished polished specimens rocks, for sure. If you head through Oregon, see if you can stop at Hampton Butte and do some digging... beautiful green jaspers!
This is terrific. I grew up with a father who took us rockhounding in the high mountains when I was a child. I grew up with the sound of a Tumblr in the basement of our house I considered it a lullaby. Later he bought a rock and gem shop with a giant saw out in the back, plus sanders and everything else. He also created lapidary work. I grew into being a stone sculptor, so I've worked with sanders as, well as with other power tools on hard stones. I really enjoy watching other people who hunt for rocks and then polish them up if needed. I am subscribed.
Sounds like a really awesome way to grow up. Where was this, if you don't mind me asking. What sort of stones do you sculpt? Thanks so much for watching.
Good channel. Have you ever considered cutting out a core and slicing to make cabochons for a linked bracelet, it would look super colour when polished.
Wow. When I was a kid in Mexico my father had me collect fire opals "in the rough". I gathered 5 grocery bags full...those big paper bags we used to get. We toted them in the back of the motor home for 2 months until he lost his cool one day. He asked me to help him dump out the bags with him, thing was we happened to be in Yellowstone at the time...he chuckled while explaining that some "rock knocker" would wonder how these Mexican stones wound up in Yellowstone. It was probably 200 pounds of them....now you know. It was 1973 and I still chuckle about it.
@geffreyjewell6546….wow! Ricky Ricardo lost his cool and made Lucy dump all her rocks too. They didn’t have a motor home, instead they had a long long long trailer. 😂😅
This was a gorgeous piece! I also enjoyed the polishing montage, I haven’t seen a whole lot of that on other rockhound videos. Ahhh, I wish I was out west, finding cool rocks! TnT Thanks for sharing!!
Love the yellow jasper you found in the Yellowstone gravels. There are a lot of fine agates and jaspers in these gravels besides the Montana Agates everyone hunts. I have about a ton of these gravels I selected back in the 1970's. Fully half of what I selected was not Montana type agate. Lots of jaspers and petrified wood. Bryan G.G.
Can you pls upload a video showing and explaining petrified food you found recently in your shorts videos and can you go more into detail and share some facts about them and show them and explain why the colors come from
😂 I read that and immediately laughing as I was thinking of my son....in the laundry......finding petrified food in his shorts.....in the depths of his pockets...... 😂😂......the colours came from a variety of fungi & bacteria....... Thankyou for the giggle..... Bless
Beautiful! I'm just learning as an old lady who just retired. What type saw are you using? I'm in Mississippi, but it would be nice to cut a few of my finds down here.
Beautiful find. Over here in New Zealand we call this stone a Storm Jasper. Where I live in Hawkes bay New Zealand one other local rivers have these beautiful stones. They are hard to polish,so chippy
I’m surprised I’ve never ran into you out there. I spend a lot of time in the same areas. I would love to hang out and hunt with you sometime. My friend has a mini jet boat that gives us access to a lot of hard to reach locations
Another cool find, great job. It'd be wise to have a clickable emblem pop up on the screen at the same time you ask viewers to subscribe, that way people can click without waiting for the video to end. Also the title of this video could be a little more enticing, maybe something like: "Yellow ALIEN ROCK - This Gemstone MUTATES"
Yellow isn't my fave color. That did shine up very well, but didn't come across as a "Gem".. Glad you are out Rock Hounding.. Can't wait for the rest of your Summer videos..
I have some really good stuff planned for this summer. Keep your eyes peeled for a video this week (Wednesday I hope) with some incredible drone footage of the Yellowstone flooding.

Thanks for watching! Should we do more videos like this?
Yes!
Yes! I love to see rocks being found but I always get frustrated when I don’t see their insides at the end! 😀
Yes! And this yellow rock is really exceptional!
Yes, please, that was beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait until the next God bless and stay safe bye
Omg, this one is gorgeous! I love rocks…and looking forward to more from you 😊
Cool you found a yellow stone at Yellowstone!
😂😅

Beautiful yellow jasper ! I don't see that crack as a bummer, it gives it character !!
It’s beautiful.
That was a most unusual stone. A beautiful cut and polished stone. I am amazed at the “tool” set up you have. A rock hound’s dream!
I’m amazed at his tools too!!
Stunning specimen, beautiful colors and patterns.
Keep doing you❤
I'd love to see more finished polished specimens rocks, for sure.
If you head through Oregon, see if you can stop at Hampton Butte and do some digging... beautiful green jaspers!
❤❤❤❤❤❤My grandpa was a rock hound, so am I. You have some great lapidary equipment!! Keep posting videos please.
I will keep it coming! Another one on the schedule for this Saturday morning - 8 AM MST
That would make a beautiful pendant! ♥️ Beautiful

It’s already stunning ,my dad and I used to collect rocks .none of them ended being precious gems ,but we had a lot of fun .
Sounds like pretty awesome memories made. That's what I am aiming for with my daughters.
wow a beautiful brecciated yellow jasper
Right? Such cool material.
Polish? YES, YES, YES!
Nothing more unique then an agate adventure
Becciated yellow jasper, reminds me of lightning stones.
The first foundation of Benjamin! Ezk.28!!! Satan's covering that man worships!
Nice
I’m not as crazy as I thought with my rock collecting.
Just subscribed

Beautiful, glad I found your site. Enjoy your vacation.
I really enjoyed watching you find, cut and polish in one video.
Wow.

Find, prep, reveal ❤Great vid beautiful Gem !👏🏼
Thank you!
When I saw the results of that second cutting, I was astounded!!
Very cool. Enjoy your vacation
Thank you, I will
Very easy on the eyes. Very beautiful.❤
Thanks Susan!
Great snag !! A yellow stone from The Yellowstone, resplendent !!
Turned out way cool !!
Give Kip a treat & let’s go throw discs !!
🛸
I have a theory that the Yellow Jasper out here gave the Yellowstone it's name.... no way to know or prove it, but it seems fitting.
@@AgateAngler OR - there’s uranium in the area ??’
@@Luciddreamer007 sulfur is yellow also 😂
Beautiful Jasper!!
I love rocks too! 🕊🙏❤️🙏🕊
Very beautiful rock find
Beauty !
Indeed!
I live on the top of Lake Superior, lots of beautiful rocks, I think I will gear up and start cutting and polishing , great vid
Beautiful!!! I have a smaller version of that. Thanks for sharing this
Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad you enjoyed.
Wow that's a wonderful piece
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow that is a beautiful rock!!
Great find! I get much smaller chunks of a similar material all the way down here in SE Texas. They tumble beautifully.
Frankly, seeing the original un-polished piece left after you polished it , seemed educational, prompting to look deeper into everyday stones. Kudos.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Pretty!!!
Yay I’m in Vancouver, WA so Oregon coast is my backyard. Have fun!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
that looks great

Awesome 👌 ❤

@@WhytePip hahah your welcome I meant shorts as in like his TH-cam shorts vids but I am glad I was able to make you laugh 🤣
That is so lovely
Awesome Video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
That turned out really nice
That eas so pretty 😍
I liked it more untouched, right out of the sand.
Excellent yellar!
Yes indeed!
Nice color ❤
It is a really vibrant Yellow
My birth stone is topaz I love the yellow ish stones
Beautiful! I'm just learning as an old lady who just retired. What type saw are you using? I'm in Mississippi, but it would be nice to cut a few of my finds down here.
Its intresting that most rocks are the same as most other places we got the same in New Zealand
That is fascinating to think about.
This just doesn’t get old
❤ one of my favorite stones
Very cool. Found a piece very similar to this one just a couple days ago in Oregon near where I live
Awesome find. Beautiful!
So, so, cool.
Have you ever gone to Agate Beach near Copper Harbor Mi? You should
Nice job!
Thank you so much! Keep your eyes peeled to the channel - I am giving away a rock tumbler this weekend!
Beautiful! I've never found one. Hopefully one day.
I hope so too!
Thank you!
Turned out great. Hey while in Oregon, if you have time maybe you could head down the coast to DelNorte County - crescent City CA.
I am hoping to!
💛 beauty 💛
nice slab cut!!
Beautiful find.
Over here in New Zealand we call this stone a Storm Jasper.
Where I live in Hawkes bay New Zealand one other local rivers have these beautiful stones.
They are hard to polish,so chippy
That’s a great name for the material
@@AgateAngler yes it is , rivers of chalcedony running through the jasper
@@AgateAngler I recently found a beautiful Stormies (storm Jasper)
Interesting yellow agate. Did you also cut-polish a 10mm (?) thick slab to see what/how the pattern might have changed?
awesome!
Are you using the padded wheels on your slant lap, I’ve had so much trouble getting things polished to a beautiful shine
Very cool! Oregon video?
Hopefully!
wow
That is a nice rock.
So what happened to the first piece you cut off? You couldn’t do a cabochon out of it?
Which lap machine are you using?
Can you please guide where to buy Gem Cutting Machines
Depends on what you are looking for.... I am happy to answer questions. I am not an expert though haha!
@@AgateAngler I need guidance to purchase gem cutting machine for cutting stones to check whether they are agates.
What kind of an investment is that type of saw
It isn't cheap. I believe they run around $1500
That would've made a cool shifter knob for my '46 Indian.
I’m surprised I’ve never ran into you out there. I spend a lot of time in the same areas. I would love to hang out and hunt with you sometime. My friend has a mini jet boat that gives us access to a lot of hard to reach locations
Maybe one day!
Kind of looks like a dino turd. It's absolutely fantastic! 😊
How is your PA job going
Thanks for asking! I love my job but it can be emotionally exhausting at times
Another cool find, great job.

looks like stony creek jasper from CA.
I subbed 👍 and will be watching, thanks.
Welcome aboard!
Didn't realize how fascinated I am by rocks.
I am a lapidary. I thnk you can get a better polish than that. Linen Flat lap and super polish green.
Actually the crack gives you a peek at the inside before polishing.
Thanks for using p.p.e's
It is a coprolit!
If the rock starts to get hot as it dries out it's not a rock...
Cool jasper❤
Can I speech it's the golden stone
Look like that gold
All hail!
Maggie❤😂❤
I,m watching for the give away 😂.
👍
That how the river got its Name ???Aloha DSC777
Wuooo
Those are all over the south and huge! I have several. It's part of the last destruction of desolation on earth and DNA of sorts! Test's???
Good job body
