- This was a great place to visit that I have had my eye on for some time now, and I'm pleased with what I found.
We didn't spend a ton of time around this area, but it certainly does have lots to offer, and I'm sure that with some exploring more can be found.

Loyal lyica, beautiful wife, rock hounding Utah! You my friend are living a wonderful life! Thank you for educating us and documenting these fantastic videos and I hope for many more years of your family's success!
I'm very happy in life.
Some great finds. Sara that rock with the red orange is stunning and so interesting. Thanks guys!
Thank you!
Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: I agree! You always do pick up the best rocks!
your videos always remind me how much i love living here in utah. I can drive 1-2 hours in any direction and find awesome rocks/minerals. thanks for this one, it was fun
Utah is a fantastic place.
Old Disabled House Bound Dusty Rusty Rockhound here: As always... an amazing video! The photos are rad! Amazing world beyond the naked eye, huh? If you ever do find out what some of those are... do us an update!
What a great hunt! I love the spider egg specimen 😂. It looked fantastic under the microscope! Hopefully, you can get an Id.
The Topaz is amazing!
The red “sp😅der egg” rock is a beauty. ❤
Thank you, Jared and Sara!
Me and my daughter and I found a really interesting spot about 15 miles outside of elko nevada on hyway 225 mountain city hyway, past Adobe lights, just past fossil digs, on top of hill. You spot this place by a pit the hyway maintance used. Just north is a water tank for cows. You have to go through a gate to get to it. Lots of clear quarts, chalcedny lost of agates crystals a unique are with verity of colors and interesting geology.
Those are some really nice samples... love the coloring on the different samples!! Well done sir!!
Thank you!
Great to hear you found so much there! Another great spot, not far from where you were, is Holt Canyon. It has some stunning agate. Glad to see all three of you enjoyed some rockhounding in Utah!
These are some really outstanding micros.
Thank you!
Intresting and beautiful finds👍❤️. And beautiful scenery 😍👋🇫🇮
Thank you
They graded my alley that’s about as close to a road cut around my parts 😂
Going have to fully watch this later, heading north to do some more collecting before the end of the long weekend but I am looking forward to finishing the video.
Pseudobrookite possibly for the black blade mineral. That is something that is commonly found as micro around that part of the state.
Love the detail in the stacked images
Thank you!
Sounds like you’re making popcorn
The microphone was a little loose.
The red.. possibly red barite? It looks similar to some we found near Potosi, Mo, where they mined barite...??? Good luck
We also found petrified wood
Good video.
Thank you!
At 7:45 in the video you are holding the " spider egg rock " and in the background there is appears to be more red rock on the side of the hill, why didn't you investigate more? Did you not see it? I find that rock the most interesting, could it be Red Botryoidal Fluorite? Or Botryoidal, Red Jasper Nodule - found in Utah?
Salmon eggs from a jar? That looks like Beryl in the rock
A hand loupe comes in handy to get a better look at what you are collcting. Could the black be hematite? I'd think the red is chalcedony, but that is a guess too.
Sometimes I bring it, however often what we find that I would like to look at seems to be obscured by dirt.
Hi Jared. I'm assuming the host rock is a rhyolite, similar to the Thomas Range area where topaz and bixbyite are found. Your orange botryoidal material looks likely to be either chalcedony or opal probably coloured by hematite. The black crystal looks trigonal and is most likely hematite. Some of your topaz looks like quartz to me. Having said that, I'm obviously only seeing it in 2D, but I reckon that I do see some hexagonal prisms, just on their sides hiding the terminations. Quartz and topaz can be tough to tell apart sometimes.
Steve, thank you so much for watching and chiming in on this.
I do believe I found small micro topaz here, and I do agree with your assessment of it being difficult to tell them apart sometimes.
Also, while I got you here, I must say I love The Pebble Collection.
11:08 It appears to be two fossils I can see one is curly cue and the other looks like a horseshoe crab.
I would say it is most likely botryoidal chalcedony, let us know if you ever find out, i watch all of your videos so im sure I'll see it
That might be one of those spots on the crystal collectors videos. Where he dug crystals.
I don't think that is the case here.
Could the red rock be arsenic?
I would say that is unlikly.
what are you using to take the closeup pictures of the rocks back in your "office"?
I use my microscope with a Sony ZV-E10 plugged into the trinocular port and I image stack.
Could it be wulfenite?
I don't think so, the structure doesn't match.
At 1:24 i see a female figure in that stone! Maybe its just me🤔
