    I've watched and re-watched this many times and you put so much work into it that I have to express my gratitude.
    My partner and I found some CBA's last weekend high up Phillippi canyon almost 800 feet above the Columbia and we are now hooked. One of the CBA's is a weathered partial and is larger than a softball! The 3 that I found are quite normal and much smaller in comparison. Great job.

      Appreciate it! I'm having a lot of fun making these, from talking to super interesting people, to nerding out explaining stuff, and making dumb jokes in the script.

    This is very interesting info about the Columbia Basin Agates in Eastern Washington state, especially for someone living in CT where we have Nothing like these agates/jaspers. Our geology is so much more different than these areas of the Northwestern part of the U.S.
    Even in my early 80's, still trying to learn. Many years ago,1978, on a cross-country auto trip, traveled thru portions of OR and along the Columbia River. No time to go rockhounding. Didn't know anything about the geology of OR/WA states.

    OMG! I’m in Michigan and I’m finding all kinds of agates on a dirt road that I take walks on everyday! A lot of them look like the ones that you are displaying. 😮
    So cool!!!
    Most of them are small to medium sized stones. I would love to find larger ones.
    But I do find a lot of agatized fossils too!
    Can I polish the fossils?

    I just recently found several agates in the Columbia Gorge within a similar cobble layer that I have observed during visits to the White Bluffs area. I have lived in the Tri Cities most of my life. I have hunted and found CBAs throughout the area for over 50years. My question is are the agates I found in the gorge potentially and or could be labeled CBAs? While typing my question you actually answered it. Thank you for the amazing information. I appreciate gaining new knowledge regarding areas I have spent my life exploring.

    I come from Hockinson WA
    Technically in the willamette valley. We used to pull gallons of CBA’s from the creeks there. They had to come from prehistory floods that came before the Mazulla floods.

    I’ve got twenty acres about ten miles southeast from Satus Pass (which is at 3100’ elevation), which property is at about 2400’ elevation. I have found many smooth round reddish rocks in this area of basalt flows. I’ve always wondered how the heck they got placed on top of the basalt.
    Great video.

  • @just-one-more-rock
    @just-one-more-rock 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video. Lots of info. Beautiful specimens.
    Do you know if any gravels were every quarried out of the Columbia River Basin and moved out to other locations?
    The Ringold material looks very much looks like a made made area I visit sometimes. Tons of the stained quartz and reddish pebbles. As well as greens and other colors. Some jaspers and some typical agates. I would have never thought to look for CBA's but I'm wondering if it could be a possiblity.
    I assume an untrained eye may see all river cobble to look similar so I very well may be way off.
    Thanks

    Columbia basin agates don't come from anywhere. They're local. I've personally dug them out of the basalts myself. I've also found them in gravels in Vancouver, WA.

    @Shazzamm1971 ปีที่แล้ว

    Then why do I find the same agates in Southern Alberta?
    Don’t ya think the ice wall collapse and massive wall of water from Canada had moved stuff from up here, to there.. hence why the entire landscape from the Milk River Ridge to the Columbia basin looks like a moonscape.. heard that from more than one geologist more than once.
    I even find examples of rocks supposedly only found in Texas. Those got here from a massive meteor hit.. but hey, lets talk about those young rivers as being why these multi million year old rocks exist there.. ok sure.
