Rockhounding in New Zealand - exploring a river for crystals, minerals, petrified wood, toffee stone

I head down to the Hororata river to look for agates, petrified wood, toffee stone and jasper. It was a rainy and overcast day which made it a bit harder as the sun wasn't making the agates sparkle. Luckily, we found an area that had been bulldozed recently and found quite a few nice agates.

Ii found this, which is nothing! Lol. I swear the humor out of you is hysterical, 😆

[@mamlamborocks]

🤣 I don't think that was on purpose!

[@_Jitterbug]

Oh man, i love this spot!!! I had to make two trips back to my van just to empty my full pockets when i was there last!

[@mamlamborocks]

That sounds like a great haul! My best is still on the beaches, I find most of the agates there.

Apart from the obvious thrill of finding interesting/pretty stones and seeing what's inside, what do you do with these?

[@mamlamborocks]

You can cut them and polish them, they're just for looking at 😁
