Beautiful Amygdaloidal Basalt! Hunting for Agates and Galaxy Stone in the Mountains!

- In this one, we go back to a hunt from the summer when a fishing trip to the mountains turned into a hunt for gorgeous chalcedony, agates, and amygdaloidal basalt! This basalt is some of my favorite material to collect and cut because of its inclusions of absolutely perfect micro agates, complete with druzy pockets, filled in quartz, and even fortification and waterline banding! After our hunt, we head back to the shop to cut into some of our finds! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out soon!

It's comforting to know that there are others out there who do what I do. I can not walk past ANY place that has rocks without looking to see what I can pick up. 😅
same
Same here. Half my dining room table is covered with them (i have enough room to eat).
OMG, that big galaxy stone that you cut is hands down my fave! Stupendous!
I drive my family crazy with my collecting and flyfishing at the same time!😅 ❤
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: So you multi-task... they're just jealous!😂
Thanks for sharing that was fun 🤩 they were all beautiful thanks again see you on the next hunt
Those amygdaloidal basalts are really nice and special! They are just like little universes, with each of the chalcedony pockets its own little galaxy. I love them! And that last one you cut was my favorite! The chalcedony pockets were so cool and large enough to see the details in it! That big one you have is going to be another nice one 😂 ken the last one you cut. It has those large chalcedony pockets and many that are little geode pockets with their own little crystal caves! That is so much fun! You are going to have to send a slab to Karen to look at under the microscope. And those crystal caves become just that under high power magnification! But they are definitely the coolest rocks to even come out of Montana! I love them way better than Montana moss agates. Although there are a rare few that are different. Like the ones with fortifications! But these basalts are really special! Thanks for finally putting this video up! It was awesome and the cuts were fabulous! Thanks Theo and Alexis for finding the beautiful pet woods! That's why I love this channel and it makes me love Montana even more❣️
Sincerely TomcatJosh!!!!
Very nice finds! Look forward to seeing that big one cut👍 Have fun guys!✌️
Like the Agate & Quartz.. So many unusual finds. Thanks for sharing..
Show us the fishing! Lol
I love rocks and fishing.
Always a good video when Theo is happy.
Wow, red basalt with green jasper! Cool!
Prenite...what's in the basalt ... the green stuff ,if you'll notice it has a slight translucency. Green Casper can have some translucency but it's usually mostly opaque .
My favorite was definitely the last cut A. Basalt! Amazing!
baby micro agates so pretty 🤩
Can't wait for your new saw blade. Enjoy your trip.
This week, at a local little creek behind a grocery store here in VA, I found quite a bit of green Amygdaloids. Now I know what they are thanks to you Theo. 😊 But these are varied shades of light green, some light olive green, with tiny whitish quartz pockets all over. Haven’t cut any yet.
TomcatJosh!!!
I love amygdaloidal basalt! The last one you cut is awesome! So much detai,l and those agate bands...i love it! 😊
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Congratulations! Isn't it amazing inside?
Thankzzz!!! #floridavidzzz!!!
Amazing beautiful rocks! Have very safe and happy trip!
Great rocks. Molly was my favorite today
Thanks you two for another great video❤
I picked up some galaxy basalt a few years ago and haven’t done anything with it yet haha. This makes me want to cut some up.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED! Dammit, I been trying to figure out what some of the ones I been cutting are... amygdaloidal basalt!
My favourite! Galaxy stone! Let's GOOOOO!
Very cool specimens. 😎
some beauties
The rocks are beautiful! So how many fish did you catch?😂😂
#drogon!!!!!
Uuu, nice ones❤❤
I have some of this and have been trying to figure out what it is. This was so helpful. Now if I could ID all my green stones. 🤦🏻♀️ is it green Opal, green garnet, jade, jadeite, calcite? I’m so frustrated by them all.
Then there’s the big weird clear one. I’m saying, we need more videos! More please.
Well the way your going your going to fill your bag over
Hi Theo and Alexis!!! I'm in town 6-20 thru 6-26, 6-24 blue jewel sapphire mine!!! My bday!!! Have a Rock twister coming and possibly a JnV, with a katydid invite, you guys interested in a group thang???
@17:20 in the video I'm fairly certain the green stuff appears that it's most likely prenite...
It's commonly found in amigdoloydal basalt in other areas so maybe Yellowstone area too ?
Prehnite! That's exactly what it was! I was thinking jasper but then I wondered why it was transparent like chalcedony, that makes so much sense now🤣 definitely prehnite, thank you!
Your most welcome my rock-brother! Lol I knew you'd figure it out .
I think you just like saying amygdaloial. They were beautiful cuts. The last I liked the best. I hope your having fun in FL.
Yoooooo I’m down for it baby ! I have a huge galaxy stone I’ve been waiting for that video man ! Mine is orange basalt full of agate bubble like nodules of various sizes, the big ones are like 3cm long 2,5 thick I don’t know it that will cut right or break on me , so it’s a show piece “ orange gummy candy “
😎😎😎
We have some Amazing amygdaloidal Galaxy agate here as well . Not a commonly collected either
❣👍💯
I have never seen a cat go fishing with anyone before! How did you get your cat to do that?
Amen❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
Do you refill your water sprayer with river water? Or does it clog it up?
Sorry if this izzz not ok theo!!! 6-20 thru 6-26 I'm in Montana, trying to start a gathering!!! #birthday6-24
My wife found a large piece of amygdaloidal basalt in a corn field in Illinois. How it got there, I can only say "Glacial?" I've cut and polished a few pieces, black and white with some chatoyant crystal in the white.
Quit lying there were no fish just rocks.
