    Wonderful timing! I just got back from a trip to Michigan where I hounded on lakes Michigan, Huron, and Superior and I have several rocks in my buckets that I'm unsure about. Thank you for all of your informative posts, they are what inspired me to start learning about rocks and geology and not just picking up pretty rocks. I can't wait to sort and start tumbling my new material. 😊

      That's what I like about this hobby, you get to play with the rocks twice, once while collecting and again when you tumble them.

      I still wish there was a name for that rock as a whole. At least I know that the translucent part is chalcedony.

    Thank you to all of you for this video! I've learned so much from this video about identification of rocks and minerals. In college I took a couple of geology courses and thought it was fascinating then, even more so now! (I'm 77). Watched Katydid's video when you were agate hunting in Montana on the Yellowstone and can't wait to visit there next month. Just a beginner and having so much fun. Was born and raised in Montana but have lived in Colorado for the last 47 years. Still a lot of rockhounding to do...life long learning!

      You're welcome. I'm actually sort of new to this too. I've been at it for a dozen years or so. There are people your age who have been doing this since the 1970's. I feel like a rookie compared to them.

    • @janhopper3332
      @janhopper3332 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, it's just plain fun in my world! Everywhere I've traveled I've always picked up a rock, a leaf, small driftwood, etc., because it's a piece of where I was, and most often, it's added to special areas of our garden. Keep on looking for the beauty of the earth!
