Nice job. Some of the fractures will never go away and it's frustrating. I bought a jewelry cleaner and use that on certain rocks to get the grit out of the cracks and it works pretty good. Once the grit gets way in there it's almost impossible to get it all out and when it dries it turns white. When I tumble some of the rocks will tumble in the first grit for months before I move on to the next step. When we were in Florida we took some of the landscape rocks from where we were staying and they turned out really nice. Awesome job for your first try. Some people don't get that nice of a result for a while.
Agates, jasper. rose quartz, quartz, chert? A lot of the pink/red rocks I find are coral . When I have rocks that chip I throw them in the next batch to smooth them out. Nice job for the first time.
@@wyearthtreasures thanks! I'm actually going to do an experiment with stabilizing some of the worst cracked rocks. Excited to see what happens😁👍 thanks for watching!
The first rock looks like Gneiss. I just sub"d. You had 101 subs before i subd. The channel name appeared as Learning Rocks 101. Lol. Great channel you two! Looking forward to more.
I think you hit the nail on the head with gneiss. Just looked it up and it's spot on! Thanks for the feedback and the compliment it's been a lot of fun learning how to do rocks, how to make videos, and how TH-cam works all at the same time! Not to sound like a complete dummy, but what is Subd? Thanks again! 😁👍
@@LearninRocks sub'd is short for subscribed. I'm new to rocks myself. I have looked for arrowheads for about a decade now. I've found many different Stone types they used and started to learn how to identify the rock itself. There are many different names and different formations where chert and flint comes from. That's a lot to learn right there. They used Basalt, quartz and many other types. It became very interesting to me. I've been in Michigan for the last two months rockhounding. It's the first time looking for rocks for me, that weren't altered by man. I found some pudding stones and petosky stones. Those are pretty neat, but then I discovered the Agates, and man am I hooked. Agates are by far my favorite to find. Have you figured out what your favorite stone is yet?
@@Pointtostones that's awesome! It's definitely a lot to learn. I find I have a new favorite every day but I'm pretty partial to Jasper and agate... Pretty much anything in the chalcedony group. Love the patterns and the way it shines but I find another mystery rock that blows me away every time I open the tumbler to check on the progress👍👍
I'd recommend testing them for hardness. Those are all very common rocks, and beautiful. I call them Walmart rocks, because they are all in the local Walmart parking lot and around other businesses. Testing for hardness goes a long way, and a good book. I would like to say that the pretty black rock is not obsidian. A lot depends on what part of the country you are in, and you are not near natural obsidian. However, it is known as a wish stone because it is a dark rock with a single ring going all the way around. You should also look for hag stones, they make fabulous necklaces. Enjoy the journey!
Thanks for the great info! Yeah being in Florida we have to take what we can get - which limits us to parking lot rocks for the most part. I did get a great piece of afar jasper that we are going to break up soon - and we went rockhounding in Utah and came back with all kinds of interesting stuff to try out. Thanks again for the feedback!
@LearninRocks I'm in the same situation up here in north MS. Nothing but sandstone, chalk, limestone, and fossils. But at one of our local gravel companies they sell landscape rock for parking lots and homes called Arkansas Jellybean. It mostly quartzite with a little jasper. I get it for $6 for a 5 gallon barrel. Love it! Lots of different colors, and it tumbles great! A friend of mine does that in northern KY, too. All she has local is limestone.
@LearninRocks I would love to trade with you both! Look up local rock hound groups in your area. Every area has something unique, you just have to know where to find it. Great first time tumbling!
nice one dude. A lot of quarts and a bit of jasper possibly some calcedeny or agate. I would say the black are not obsidian because broken obsidian is shiny because it is volcanic glass. Probably black jasper.
Thanks! I've got a few more videos in the works like these and some Utah agate we shipped back home. So far they're all looking pretty promising! Hope you'll check them out when the batches finish👍👍
If you can shine some light through them and has bands….probably agate. Otherwise it’s probably chalcedony….or quartz…or chert. Obsidian is a volcanic glass, so it has shine and will break like a shard of glass. Jasper - probably the nice coloured stones you have there with different lines and speckles.

You got some good lookin rocks bud!
Quite impressive actually.
Thank you
@@olenaelizabethmartin7583 thank you! And thanks for watching 😁
I see banded chert, chalcedony, quartz, calcite (maybe feldspar), yellowish epidote. Some nice rocks
@@calebdillman8462 thanks! I've been pretty surprised at what turns up in a parking lot! 😁
Beautiful 😍❤️ lots

@@mechellecrosby2621I'd be happy to trade with you as well. I live in Pa. I find all sorts of rock, but always willing to try new ones.
Especially fossils. I am currently obsessed! 😊

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry for the delayed response, we had a bit of a storm problem here in Florida but I definitely appreciate the info!
Good!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
How long Do you need for 3 tons of this stones? I need them for my driveway. The old gravel got dirty.
@@whitegoo4U haha by the time I finish that much we'll all be fossils! 🤣
A few weeks with one of these. th-cam.com/video/_l0iK2dcA5s/w-d-xo.html
