    It's awesome when you bounce from the water to the shop and back. That's a ton of time between shots, so to keep everything organized before editing is likely quite the burden. For that, we appreciate ya! It really improves the continuity.

    A few notes:
    What a beautiful porphyry at 4:55! I'd love to see some thin sections of that.

      I'm pretty sure I could talk Sam out of a slab of that porphyry for you. Could you use an end cut or would you need a good slab? Sam was here a couple days ago and wants to make a pendant out of a slab.
      That rock at 6:45 is frustrating. I don't find it often, but I recognize it when I do now. Both Sam and I kind of gasped when we saw it, but we both knew it wasn't much good for anything except looking at on the beach. Thank Nat for letting me know what it might be.

    Congrats on all the fantastic finds!! Your banded Chert wins best of show, but there were plenty of winners all around.
    When it comes to the dark colored pudding stone, I think it counts, so long as it's quartzite. I tell people that if they can shine a light into it and it's got Jasper, it's a pudding stone, if not it's urbanite.
    A few people on-line have posted a pudding stone chart, with some good pictures, that show them in various shades and colors.
    I've also seen people who claim that only White quartz matrix stones are pudding stone, so I guess there are purists out there too. I'm not one of the purists. (boo purists, everyone knows all the handsome, smart and successful people say that if it's quartzite it counts.)
    I've seen then in various colors and like finding the colored ones more, especially if they are unusual, like the large fist sized Green one that I found this summer. It's darker green on one half and lighter green on the other. The side that is lighter also has smaller pieces of jasper, than the darker side does. I don't get too excited about pudding stones anymore but that one made me feel like dancing the jig.
    I suppose any color that quartzite can be, a pudding stone could be too. That or only white ones count, because the original was probably white. Or get old school and say the ones in England are the real ones and we are all Johnny come lately.

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  วันที่ผ่านมา

      The most common colors I find are white, pink, and yellowish, but I don't remember finding one as gray as the one in this video. I think I like white the best and pink second best. If you have a link to that chart, I'd love to see it. I'm not a purist either, by the way.

    Just curious what part of Huron is this on? Last summer when I was up near Rogers City, it was all boring white stuff? Was wondering if it was better in the southern end.

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  วันที่ผ่านมา

      Sounds like you were looking at a beach full of limestone. The world's largest limestone quarry is in Rogers City. If you go north to 40 Mile Point Lighthouse, the rocks are more interesting. There are also some more interesting beaches south of Rogers City. The beaches down around Port Huron actually have a really nice mix of rocks. Even in one walk down the beach, the rocks will change. On the beach we were on, there are places where there are a lot more Petoskey stones. In some places the rocks get bigger, in other places, they're smaller. This beach doesn't have much sand usually, but some beaches go from rocky to sandy and back again.
      One more thing. Most Petoskey stones are found south of Rogers City. I do find them to the north, but they're much less common. If you look at a geological map of Michigan, you'll see that it's a bowl like thing where different layers of bedrock are exposed in different areas. The Petoskey stones are to the south of Rogers City.

    • @tommyhunter1817
      @tommyhunter1817 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ I looked around the Cheboygan light, near Rogers City, and Presque Isle. Pretty much all limestone. Found a few interesting ones near Mackinac City but that’s getting close to Lake Michigan. I’m trying to collect rocks from all five Great Lakes to use in the floor of a new shower I’m planning here in Atlanta. Thought that would be cool. I have some from all but not enough from Superior and Huron. Excuse to go back!

    • @samcook1413
      @samcook1413 วันที่ผ่านมา

      A lot of the more colorful rocks we like to find like pudding stones, jasper, and epidote are glacial till meaning they were carried down mostly from up in Canada by glaciers. The Petoskey stones, fossils, and limestone are all local though

    Question for Sam: So sand being mainly quartz will become quartzite. Will the feldspar re crystallize upon metamorphosis, or will it dissolve or break up into different minerals?

      I’m not a geologist by any means but I did a little research on top of what I already know and I would imagine either way it’s not going to recrystallize (into bigger crystals). Crystals generally form either in volcanic activity where there’s a lot of heat or over time with deposition of minerals. Feldspar has a crystalline structure and generally forms during volcanic activity like the tiny crystals in granite however it can also form as “metamorphic mineral in veins of other rock” - Google. Metamorphosis could change the feldspar by somehow rearranging the feldspar structurally or it could change it if there were a chemical reaction with something else however it could also just stay as little crystals like in meta arkose.

      @@samcook1413 Nice job, Sam! Feldspar, especially potassium feldspar, is a rather stable mineral under many conditions, so it doesn't recrystallise easily. That being said, metamorphism includes a wide range of conditions and under high-grade metamorphism, feldspar can recrystallise.

      Do you mean how do I decide which ones to take home? I just look for the ones that have a lot of red jasper.
      Or maybe you mean how do I decide what to do with them when I do take them home. If it's a really nice specimen, sometimes I polish the whole rock. If it's small, it always goes in the tumbler. If it's larger and not awesome, I usually slab it to make other things with it. My saw isn't that big, so I can only slab a rock that's 3.5 inches or less. I have a couple really, really nice ones that I have just kept as I found them.

      @@Unk13Dave The bigger rocks tend to get slabbed and the smaller rocks tend to get tumbled. Small rocks are hard to clamp into the saw vice. I pick rocks to slab based on color and pattern. I use a lot of slabs to make Christmas ornaments, crosses, and other things like that. I cut shapes, then tumble them to polish them. I also slab some bigger Petoskeys for shells for little turtles I make. If a rock is really cool, sometimes I'll make pendants out of them, but they have to have a really great pattern that will stand out. I make some puddingstones into pendants.
