    I was great to dig and hang out with you, friend!
    I'll be looking forward to when you happen to come back. Or when I can afford to make it that way. Either way :)

    My first time to Glass Butte I dropped the ball by not doing my homework. It was awesome seeing you be so successful. Great pieces.

    Have to say the one that flashed silver, purple AND green has to be my favorite, but honestly I love them all! Thank you for taking us along, Theo!

    I'm so glad you made it out here too! We have so much to offer and just every part of this state has something different in it! It's really a Rockhound's paradise. Next time out, you will have to venture out to graveyard point and get some beautiful plume agate and of course there is thundereggs everywhere here! I would suggest a stop at the lily pad bed and get a big chunk or two of the rhyolite that's just loaded with tiny thunder eggs. It is the coolest cut on the saw! But that's just a few of the other treasures we have here! There is always next year! Montana isn't that far for those who drive! And Wyoming has some beautiful jade while you are out there too! There is so much beauty under our feet, and we don't even stop to think about it!
    That borealis and rainbow obsidian was super gorgeous! And the silver sheen was pretty too! The cool part is when you get a big chunk that contains colors and silver or gold sheen! Like you did! It's going to be so gorgeous when you cut that big chonker! Thanks Theo, for taking us a long with you! Your excitement is so infectious! It's wonderful!❤

    Hiya Theo, awesome video and I love working on obsidian. Every since I've made friends with Scott from Oregon and he's gotten me interested in cut obsidian, I love making cabs out of it. I think you know whom I'm talking about, he has a channel too. It's as easy to work on as it could be, but you can make some beautiful cabs with it, and I know you will make some beautiful stuff with the material that you have found. I can't wait too see what you make out of it. I hope you and the Misses, have a awesome blessed day.
    Cya! 😺🐟 out!

    I never knew obsidian was so spectacular! I've collected a lot in Utah, but nothing compares to that!
    I'm praying for a big blizzard in Montana so you will be forced to cut open since of your recent finds and prep that vertebrae you found on the beach in Oregon. 😂
    I'm so looking forward to your future videos. 😊

    You Lucky Boy! I so want to go there, I want to learn obsidian and I have a quite a bit of material to work on. I believe the last two are the best, those colors are so amazing...

  • @maryzefo3801
    @maryzefo3801 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've always loved obsidian but wow I didn't know it came in so many colors thank you for sharing feel and I can't wait to see the video of what you do with that and the sunstone I watched that video too and that stuff was beautiful but anyway I can't pick a favorite of the obsidian it's one of the only stones that when you find it and clean it it's so shiny it almost looks like it's already been polished.......

  • @rachaelb9164
    @rachaelb9164 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    That gray pink/purple stuff is cool. I found a few chunks when I was there. I found the borealis/rainbow stuff tends to look lighter or more gray in color. You have to catch the light just right to see the colors.

  • @savagesquirrel9828
    @savagesquirrel9828 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really want to see the slabs! I hope it doesn’t shatter. Good luck…fingers crossed.
    I hope you get to the Pacific annually.

    Thanks for taking us along on the great trip across Oregon. Super nice obsidian finds. Does slabbing those require a special blade (for glass) or will any blade be okay? I'm looking forward to cutting into them. Thanks for sharing.

    Super cool obsidian. I have found a few small pieces in Alabama but nothing great just black and some weird greenish slag glass that glows red under uv light. Any idea why it glows red??? Thanks 😊

      @LauraS_6886 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok thank you!
      I’ll have to try and find that area. I have 3 different maps, and they are all a little different.
      We haven’t been there for 2 years, but I’ve been wanting to go again.
