Hola Familia!!! Excelente piezas, excelente vídeo como siempre!!! Aprendemos mucho con ustedes, mil gracias. Desde Valencia , España un fuerte abrazo!!!!
Enjoyed your video!!! Thanks for the identification too! Love to learn what things are from people who know! Now I can't wait to get back to my favorite beach in Northern New Brunswick! Rock on !
Love your videos! As a newbie, I appreciate the labeling of each rock. Thank you for such a concise record of your adventure (the boys are delightful to watch)!
Wow, these are some of the best examples of a great variety of rocks. Really cool to see such nice pieces. Cool journey, thanks for bringing us along with you.
Absolutely stunning finds! I was thinking of you when I heard the lockdown announcement made. I'm so glad you and the boys were still able to get out and rockhound. I absolutely love the greens in the unakite, the sprays inside the rhyolite with the quartz veins and that pudding stone was stunning inside and out! Stay safe and thank you for the great video!
@@RockhoundingLife Oh no that's a terrible shame! Well, on a positive note, more lapidary videos!!!! I love watching the expressions on the boys' faces when you cut the rocks on the saw!
Definitely some cool (no pun intended) looking finds in the mix. Btw, you must have one fine camera, as the color of the rocks in your videos appear very realistic; some of the best I've seen!
Thanks! Our rhyolite is red and light brown on the east coast of Canada. Rhyolite is the extrusive equivalent to granite. Just as there are many varieties of granite there are many varieties and colors of rhyolite. Thanks for watching.
I was looking into that pink mineral more and am leaning to similar pictures of thulite, can be found in pink shades, it’s a ziolite mineral usually found with epidote, which I see bits of in the banded rhyolite that I’ve found around five islands. Let me know what you think
That sounds pretty reasonable I'd say! I'm at a loss for what it could be. I might reach out to few geology friends and I'll mention your input. I'll let you know what I find out.
You guys are making me want to grab a blanket... It looks so cold! Hope you got some hot cocoa when you got home haha! 2:30- I want to say brecciated jasper... brecciated rhyolite?🤷
That beach is so cold even in the middle of summer because of the wind. You hit the nail on the head as usual....it's all brecciated rhyolite. Some of it has isolated pockets of quartz with waterline giving it that thunder egg look, which suggests that the rhyolite lava had pockets of gas.
Think of rhyolite as the extrusive (cooled above ground) equivalent to granite. It has the same main mineral assemblage of quartz, feldspar and mica in various ratios and grain size. The presence of feldspar, no matter the grain size should give it away that its rhyolite and not jasper.
There is usually quite a bit of jasper in rhyolite so it can be difficult. Think of rhyolite as the extrusive equivalent of Granite. It's made of the same stuff but granite forms underground while ryholite forms above ground.

Excellent your video, very beautiful rocks ❤️❤️ Keep up the good work 👍👍
Thanks for watching!!

I try to do that as much as possible. Sometimes I get it wrong and realize it later.
Real nice finds!! and so much rhyolite!! I thought it was jasper......
A lot of the rhyolite on the east coast is redish.
Another enjoyable outing with you and the boys!
Thanks for coming along Deana!
Amazing Rhyolites👍 Great Video
Thanks!
Thanks for showing some of them cut right after. Great hunt!
I thought people would enjoy that!

Thanks for that awesome feedback and thanks fir watching!
this is my favorite beach to rocks I have so many good finds from there
I was very pleasantly surprised!
I could rock hound there for days! Some really cool finds!
We will go back when it's a bit warmer. Not a lot of time on this day.
Man I wish I lived in a cool place like you all do to find those fab rocks like you always do !!!
We are definitely lucky to have awesome places to rockhound.
Super awesome finds!
Thanks!!

Thanks for watching
Amazing Rhyolite appreciate you fighting the cold day to bring us such beautiful specimens.
Thanks Heather. It wasn't a bad day inland but the wind at the beach was pretty rough.
Very cool looking finds!
Thanks!!

Thanks Ange. This was before the latest round of steeper restrictions. Now we can't go anywhere 😪
@@RockhoundingLife Oh no that's a terrible shame! Well, on a positive note, more lapidary videos!!!! I love watching the expressions on the boys' faces when you cut the rocks on the saw!
Gr8 finds guys xx
🙏
3:45- pseudomorph... How flippin cool!
It does look like a pseudomorph doesn't it but i'm not sure what mineral the silica is replacing. Possibly some form of zeolite.
@@RockhoundingLife thats what I'm thinking
Definitely some cool (no pun intended) looking finds in the mix. Btw, you must have one fine camera, as the color of the rocks in your videos appear very realistic; some of the best I've seen!
Thanks Grant! I use my phone camera which is a Samsung galaxy note 20. It takes great photos in natural light.
Nice variety.
Thanks Jim
Awesome finds guys! Not so sure about the rhyolite though? Doesn't look like any I've seen for sure!

@@RockhoundingLife awesome! Learn something new every day!
Im going out today on the coast of the Bay of Funday. Scotts Bay is a bit far through. Wish me luck! Great video!
You're lucky!! We are stuck in HRM with the restrictions! Happy hunting!
@@RockhoundingLife I was living there but before the new restrictions took place I moved out back home to the valley hehehe

2:30- I want to say brecciated jasper... brecciated rhyolite?🤷
Okay I just got to the end. I would say brecciated rhyolite😎
That beach is so cold even in the middle of summer because of the wind. You hit the nail on the head as usual....it's all brecciated rhyolite.
Some of it has isolated pockets of quartz with waterline giving it that thunder egg look, which suggests that the rhyolite lava had pockets of gas.
Probably going to Baxters Harbor today its a bit away but is close to Scott's Bay
We are stuck in HRM due to restrictions. Can't even go back to the eastern shore.
Would love to see the one with the pimk mineral cut.
We will do it in a future cutting rocks video for sure!
We have a lot of similar Stones here but your rhyolite knocks ours out the park
Our eastern shore beaches are full of this stuff but some locations have the quartz veining more than others.
Freezing cold? Your Canadians aye. Looks like shirts sleeve and shorts weather.
The cold didn;t stop the kite surfers! It wasn't so much the air temp. It was the wind.
So in the gacial till which I collect in, how does one positively identify if something is banded jasper or some form of jasper versus rhyolite?
Think of rhyolite as the extrusive (cooled above ground) equivalent to granite. It has the same main mineral assemblage of quartz, feldspar and mica in various ratios and grain size. The presence of feldspar, no matter the grain size should give it away that its rhyolite and not jasper.
How do you tell rhyolite from jasper? I have multiple pieces of a dark purple/dark magenta rock and I can't figure out what it is
There is usually quite a bit of jasper in rhyolite so it can be difficult. Think of rhyolite as the extrusive equivalent of Granite. It's made of the same stuff but granite forms underground while ryholite forms above ground.
