Your appreciation for variety is delightful. Your knowledge is greater by far than my own, and impressive. Ill looke fpr more of your videos. Thanks so much... 🤗
Thanks for the kind words! I will try and keep you coming back. I have been really busy on the patio remodeling project, but I hope to post something rock-related soon again.
At 9:25 that appears to be a massive to granular epidote with perhaps massive to granular garnet, but in my experience it's likely orthoclase feldspar.
I have three or four of these around, and I would love to find the source and see it in large chunks. Pretty stuff. The only thing about feldspar is that it would show cleavage in the sun, right? This does not.
Somehow just now seeing this. Only appearing in my stats page. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you stick with the hobby and all it has to offer - cool conversation pieces, good outdoor healthy activity, etc.
THANK YOU for taking the time to comment and put the time stamps!!! Very thorough and helpful. I hope you will come by sometime and we could talk rocks for hours!
@@chrissgraniteparadise2656 I live in foco and have a collection myself, smaller but many of the similar specimens. I learned a few from your video as well. Only a novice at it, but I adore petrology.

Thank you for sharing!
I thought I had a rock "issue". That is until I saw your backyard.
Ha!!!!! I hope I can put many people at ease!
The quartz at the 11 mark could have some aluminum oxide in them as well.
At 10, agreed. There is likely some iron in that one too.
Garnet is associated with epidote sometimes.
1528 is pyroxene pegmatitic granite too.

@chrissgraniteparadise2656 not in massive habit, will send a picture or two soon.
The red mineral is jasper after hematite. At the 11:30ish point
I don’t know really anything because I’m new to rocks but i agree with this I was just coming to comment it

That rock I thought I'd found for you is quartzite after conglomerate, not whatever gnarly jasper specimen like mine you're so fond of. Unfortunately.
16:30 I would agree with unakite. It can be nearly black.
14:28 is pyroxene
