Wowzer amazing stones. Makes me a bit home sick. Till I remember why I came south. So I wouldn't fall down in the snow anymore. Grats on finding such beauties.
Thirteen years ago I realized the earth wasn't brown and grey. I've been dreaming of unearthing treasure stones ever since. Some day I hope to have an experience like this. Thanks for sharing.
I'm 75 now and my left thumb is very arthritic from missing the chisel and hitting the thumb many times while mineral collecting. I strongly suggest that you get a chisel with a plastic guard on it to protect your thumb. Nice find, by the way.
I am in awe at how respectful you are to leave behind those awesome rocks! Bravo I salute you for the refreshing trait of not needing to friggin OWN all that you encounter. Blessings to you and yours🙏🏻🦋
I agree I know we have done that in the past and some people have given us a hard time about it, I've even shared locations with people that I know have the same values as I.
You are wonderful! The act of filling up with sand and sand without bringing up minerals is worthy of praise. I think that God of Nature will surely be pleased.
I wish I lived someplace where I could find this stuff. I went on a trip to Michigan a few years ago, stayed on a smaller lake for 10 days you couldn't get me out of the water, I kept digging in and finding horn coral, and little bits of unidentifiable beasties, but I was in a zone. I couldn't get enough. XD. I was looking for a Petoskey stone but never found one. Found a clam though. I was possessed.
That is beautiful rock! My mining partner and I know of a place on Greenhorn mountain where there is picture jasper and we've taken some nice samples from there.
I see you haven’t gotten a response yet so I’ll help. It’s a cryptocrystalline quartz that in this case has inclusions of what look like hematite. It comes from a silicate solutions filling the holes and bugs in rocks and hardening overtime. Material with little inclusions are called chalcedony and if it has lines ar plumes like these its agate. Stuff that doesn’t allow light thru is jasper, but all three are cryptocrystalline quartz.
don't have any real experience here but i'm wondering if that glassy stone could be cut up into bangles/bracelets - like the ones you see often which are made from jade? all depends on doing it cost effectively, i guess. thanks for the video.
Hi sir I really enjoy nature and rock hounding. We should go rock hounding together. Those rocks are amazing. I can make you a sculpture out of those rocks
Hahahaha, I saw "Owyhee" and thought you meant Hawai'i (olde English)! Saw the silicates in the thumbnail, and thought "Where the heck did you find agate on a volcanic island?!" Sweet find though, all the agate around here (vein agate anyway) is pink-brown, some vuggy with quartz or calcite (occasionally cacoxenite) crystals inside. Not much in the way of your soft (color), translucent blue. You need a bigger bar to pry them whole boulders out my friend! Then a bigger hammer (I use a 12lb sledge) to crack 'em open in one shot!
@@jessegillmer8062 Hello,I've found it best to go hunt after a good rain storm. It's very difficult to overlook anything with colors that usually reside within these stones,purple black white orange even red,Best of luck to you,I hope you pick up some beauties. PS My best advice is to pick up everything and don't be afraid to dig!
I've never seen this rock before, how beautiful. I was nervous when you chipped off the ends but the split is stunning!! Do you slab this rock then or do you just chip along the piece and the it cuts naturally? You wouldn't need to polish it either just a good clean. Great video, thank you.
Dang, I know this is old but I would love to find a spot like this to take my mom and dad, they aren't super mobil, and I would love to have them find some natural "Treasures" before they cant travel anymore.
Not sure where you live but Glass Buttes in Oregon is a good place to find obsidian. Decent smaller pieces can be found without going too far off the highway. The best dig sites are a bit tougher to get to, though. Also note that Glass Buttes is about 50 miles from the nearest city.
Blue Opal - a " new kind " of pale sky - blue , a type opal discovered by the white man about 15 years ago, he called it : " Owyhee." Native Americans might have used it, think , but we are not quite sure about that yet. Found near hot springs they say, where they used to hang out. Very spiritual stone. Calming and a soft, just a nice Gentle Energy Flow . A Beautiful stone , and it changes colour ,a bit , when out of the ground to a darker blue shade, they say. A Powerful energy that - can open many Doorways ! Grounding and Unique. Can be used in many ways.
That is some stunningly beautiful rock! Agate, opal? Wondering what the total amount of time involved spent in mining that little section. From the ending it sort of looked like "Catch and Release" rock hunting.
I love to hunt for rocks and other nice rocks. I would love to know of where I could find some of what you found. I am not looking to raid the area, but to travel with my family and collect some good pieces. I have been given some blue opal from Owyhee still encased in the shell of a thunderegg. However, we would love to take a trip to Owyhee to collect some for ourselves. Would you be willing to share some directions to where we might collect some and or some of the material you are showing in this video? Thanks for sharing.
Tracy U Same here! We were out at Owyhee today, and are armature rockhounds, but enthusiastic none-the-less. Anyways, I am trying to find some sort of pointer on good spots to dig out there.
+Breonna Van Patten We found a place and got some blue opal, however it was on private land and I am unable to state the location out of respect for the owner and the problems with pillaging and claim jumping that had happened in the past from others divulging the location. However, I can say that it is near Three Fingers Butte. Please respect claims and check with the local claims offices to ensure you are trespassing and following the rules.

Surely this amount is a relatively unusual find! So that is what one does when they find more than they can carry out! Afake spoils pile marks the spot . . . OR NOT.
OMG! This is soo cool! I've been rock hunting some over the years and never find anything but Agates, which I love, but that is super cool! I need some lessons on how to find them!
You own are at covering too! Why did it😐? In my country we have many beautiful stones but not of this. I like this sky blue agate that is only at west of North America (Are you in this page yet?)

they are all over the globe in every nook and cranny. what area are you in maybe i can point you to some fun stuff?
Wow, this is some truly stunning stuff! Fantastic video, I envy your finds.
I've watched this video several times over the years. I've never found any that big. Would love to see more.
Wow amazingly beautiful humungus find. You must of been dancing on the inside finding that beauty!👍

Yea, it hurts a long time. It hurts forever then.

Ah yes the old thumb finder. Found my thumb many times

@@shannonburke-williams9460 couldn’t agree more. I can’t believe people would give you a hard time for being nice. What a crazy world.
You are wonderful!

I think he was hiding it to come back later
Should always back fill holes
Very Nice Stones !! I love the blue color :-) and it's great to see you fill in back the hole, thats great !!

Owyheeeee! Is that the shout that goes out when you find this stuff??! Nice material.
This area of the Owyhees is so beautiful
that would make amazing arrowheads
man could i make some sweet arrowheads out of this stuff
Great stuff. Love it.
Thank you for your kindness in leaving your findings to share with the next person to discover. Wow, can you say Score!
Shankopotomass-this gives me such a terrible longing-it is such a magical film.I wish you would have taken some home.Wish I could find some,too
Thats some beautiful stuff that you're finding there
wow those were awesome
Dude that's an awesome find
Shout out from Australia, I would love more info on this rock. Cheers

Nice finds. Beautiful color
Just ran across this, fabulous find such beautiful color. Loved the Video. Do you still go out? Thank you for sharing

Wow.... That is such a cool video! 😍
Beautiful calcedonies!
Hi sir I really enjoy nature and rock hounding. We should go rock hounding together. Those rocks are amazing. I can make you a sculpture out of those rocks
Awesome!
does it nid to broken instead of extracting one large piece?

looks like good times !!
Would love to find one like that.
Glad to see you leave it for someone else to find. Ive done that many times hoping a kid will find it, sometimes pushing them in the right direction.
I'm always rockhounding in Owyhee and I'm not going to say I hope so fine it, just hope I walk over it lol
good job...sum neat stuff
This is also one of my most favorite places to Rockhound,I have hundreds of pounds of this stuff. Been going out there for 20 years great video
What is this rock? Simular to common Opal? No fire? It's a unnatural stone color and the color is interesting.
@@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469 Agate
Hey there wondering if you have any tips. I'm new to rockhounding and am having trouble knowing what to look for when search for new spots..

Can you show the large rock pieces polished? The larger the rock the better it is for them to do Earth healing work.
Was it covered with soil to protect it from people or from the Sun?

I hike a good distance and could not carry the weight of the stone. also limited hand tools
Great video and awesome location. Is this in place easy to find?
Much Respect....

Kind of has a look of Lorimar, just beautiful
That's great, leaving some for seed 😉 Nice 👍
Very nice idea ,good for this knowledge
Just what kind of mineral/rock is it? I'm clueless, other than it's quartz-based.
Blue Opal - a " new kind " of pale sky - blue , a type opal discovered by the white man about 15 years ago, he called it : " Owyhee."
Native Americans might have used it, think , but we are not quite sure about that yet.

A Beautiful stone , and it changes colour ,a bit , when out of the ground to a darker blue shade, they say.
A Powerful energy that - can open many Doorways !
Grounding and Unique.
Can be used in many ways.
SWEET!!

Man would i love to get my hands on some of that. The arrowheads i could make with that stuff would be beautiful.
Nice. Good job.
Hello đá đẹp qúa bạn

Did you have a pack horse called daffny to bring all that rock out of them there hills???
😍🤗🤗 nice
You pulled out some stones that'll be beautiful when cut and polished
First class hunt. Thanks.

Where was this video shot at cause I find this in Montana alot
I have those same boots....lol
Wowza!!!!!😮
that rock will work as sharpening stone?
Where is this located in the owyhees I've been there several times past the Park and have never found anything like that
Халцедон, однако. И какой здоровенный! Nice!
They should be blue chalcedony with cloud-like crystallisation...good material making rings...
i pick up those rocks on the owyhee all the time just in the road
very very good!
Gostei muito bom. Ilha aqui aquele super like retribua se poder
What are you going to do with that material ? Nice stuff, do you know what it was? looked like Agate to me. Please let me know, thanks.
You should install a hand guard on that chisel, speaking from experience it hurts bad when you miss and hit your hand 🥴
Nice material
Owyhee named after a group of Hawaiians that join the mountain men in the 1820s and 30s.
Gorgeous agate! Nice find!
Wow!!!!!
How much are the stones worth?
I didn't know that Jasper looks that colour?
Why didn't you take that big blue one? Is there a weight limit there?
OMG! This is soo cool! I've been rock hunting some over the years and never find anything but Agates, which I love, but that is super cool! I need some lessons on how to find them!
Excellent you should not breat it man ...must keep as good as it is..
you should get ahold of Jay King in AZ, he has a factory and would take those two mini boulders and whatever else you found that day.
Can't legally sell that stone .
So what is this rock? Did you go back for the other large rock?
i see lots of point flakes out of jasper? now i know ...
Blue arrow head rocks
Where is this place?
Congratulations 🤟😎
What a nice person.....
I try to find something everytime I go out but I never have much luck. Just lots of rhyolite...I think. I'm a noob
Holy Guacamole!
You own are at covering too! Why did it😐? In my country we have many beautiful stones but not of this. I like this sky blue agate that is only at west of North America (Are you in this page yet?)
If he is native american. . it's simple. You don;t take all the fish, or all the game. .you always leave something. A good rule for all of us.
Blue agate, correct?
do you sell it captain?
is it blue candy agate?

l want to buy👌
I want to dig. Where is this?
