In this one, we dig out all of the pieces in my private collection for some show and tell! These are all of the rocks that I have purchased, were given to me, and all of my personal finds that I don't plan on ever selling! We will go through and get good looks at a wide range of gems, minerals, fossils, and shells, including: labradorite, crystal specimens, huge tiger eye, malachite specimens, unusual fossils, and fantastic agates! I unfortunately had to cut a LOT of specimens from the video so that it was not 52 minutes long, but I promise to show more in the future. I hope you enjoy looking at some cool pieces, and I will have another one out very soon!

You have a spectacular collection and my favorite was.... drum roll please.... ALL OF THEM! Thanks for sharing. Be safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

@stellabelikiewicz1523 3 года назад

Your collection is so beautiful and personal! I can hear in your voice how much love you have for the processes that shaped each of these rocks, or the biological specificity of the animals who used to reside in the shells. And the shells WITH the crystals are just a whole nother level of mind blowing!

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

Thank you so much!😄 that means a lot! I really dont hold onto many rocks for my personal collection so each one is very special to me. It was hard having to cut the video down because it was originally about 52 minutes long but i didnt rhink the majority of my viewers would care to sit and watch that long😅

It is probably my favorite gem😄 a perfect mix of two of my favorite things: stones with vibrant opalescence and fossils!

@karenhenriksen217 3 года назад

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing. The azurite and malachite ar my absolut favorit.

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

That azurite-malchite with the amazing crystal growth is definitely one of my favorite rocks that i own! I bought it for cabs, but when it arrived and i saw how insane it was, there was just no way i could even consider cutting into it😄

Thank you,, Since i started collecting my own rocks i have a few special ones, But being in South West of England UK mainly i find huge crystal chunks with pockets etc, I do not have a cutter or any thing but it is on my *most wanted list* lol,, Thank you again x

@MarlainaAtkins 3 года назад

Spectacular collection! So many beauties I'm not sure which one is my favorite. But if I had to pick one it would be the labradorite... Its my most favorite stone. I actually have a video ready to post of my personal display where I show off my favorite labs. I was planning on posting it today but maybe I should wait a day or two 😄 Thanks for sharing all your treasures. Looking forward to what's to come!

Theo, I think I lost count of the number of times I heard special, super special and rocked my world in this video, but I see why! I love that huge tiger-eye; is it purchased or did you find it? What about the Crown Sea-star?

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

It was purchased, i wish i could find some of my own! One day perhaps👍 and the crown of thorns was a gift; i believe they are native to the pacific but somehow found their way into the great barrier reef where they are very invasive and damaging

@donnalantz7981 3 года назад

You have the most amazing collection. I love everything you find. Your videos are awesome. Just love your work. And I can't thank you enough for the amazing pet wood and agate you sent in my order of crystals I got from your etsy store. I was mind blown to get those as well. I plan to polish both very soon. Thank you so much. You are such a gifted young man.

@mitchgillilan 3 года назад

Awesome collection Theo!!!! Thanks for showing some of the ones you have been hiding from us. That is an impressive and diverse collection. I was wondering if you have ever found any arrowheads or artifacts while out rockhounding? Your first agate was cool to see, I found my first agate when I was a little kid too!

I like collecting Native American artifacts, especially carved-out rocks, which is closely related to "Rock Collecting." I find mine mostly in my backyard and in my vicinity.

@josefizquierdo6139 3 года назад

A couple of your stones resemble American-Indian artifacts, especially your childhood piece, the small triangular stone with the sharp edge. The wind didn't carve out that one.

@laurat5143 3 года назад

@notinmanitou 2 года назад

Hi Theo! My husband and I are people who love rocks, all kinds of rocks. We are now retired and have the time to learn more. We just discovered your channel (and others) and hope to do some rock hunting ourselves, but it will have to be my husband and son, as I am wheelchair bound. Because we are just learning, it would help a lot if you explained a little more, spoke a little more clearly and spoke a little more slowly. Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection with us!

@donwonn5383 3 года назад

another great video and i like all that you showed , i am very interested in the red dolomite phantom rock - can you tell me where i could find some of these please , i dont mind waiting for acid to clean them up , i love phantoms and have ghosts and some blue but my blues all all milky so all i can see is blue spots, i would love to find some reds to all to my small collection

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

I am actually not sure where you would go about purchasing some unfortunately. It is found naturally in a very few amount of places in montana but it mostly used as fill material; nearly all of my pieces were scavenged from fill as there are stretches of montana where it is used as bedrock for train tracks. I am sorry i can not be more help here!

@lillyvalley7362 3 года назад

i live in Philadelphia PA, its creeks are very polluted and full of trash. but i still go to the parks and collect river glass/old bottles. after a rain storm i found an approx 3inx3in piece of agateizd petrified wood. its even transparent in some spots. It's such an unusual find for a big city creek i was shocked when i found it. Anyway i want to have to shaped into a cabochon and set as a pendant in silver. Do you, or anyone else on here know where i could have that done? /its very special to me, as an artist myself i would compensate very well.

@janetvansky3621 3 года назад

It's amazing to watch you whip through those stones and not mention the Beings in them. For example, in the third labradorite/specularite piece you showed there is a definite face.

@TheoKellison 3 года назад

Im sorry i should have put a caption under it! It is a very strange word that could probably be interpreted as many different things with my lax pronunciation😅. It is called "amphibole quartz", i believe it is also referred to as "angel aura quartz"

I used to collect seashells when I was a child. My mom and dad would take us, nine siblings, to South Padre Island near Brownsville, Texas every Summer. I remember one time when I was sitting on the beach, admiring my newly acquired collection. My Grandfather approached me, and asked me to show him my beautiful array of seashells. That's a very good memory of my dear family that I never forget. 🏖️

Hello Theo, I’m Lainie. I’ve recently discovered my passion for rocks, stones and pebbles. It’s kinda neat that you’re by Yellow Stone, which I would loooovve to visit one day, bc I’m approx about 2 miles from the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I’ve started a business of coasters with river stones and resin. These stones, when you wet them, look like metallic stones. I’ve never seen stones like that anywhere else. I’d love to send you a coaster bc you are part of the reason, and the crystal collector, that I love stones and geology today. I’ll send you some pictures of what I’m doing if I can find a way. Keep doing what you’re doing. I have learned so much and thank you for that. Lainie Frye

Is there a way to grow Druzy, I messed up, I found a Giant piece of Quartz covered in Druzy, and mud, first I cleaned the stone with a tooth brush, but there was still mud on it, really hard mud, so I used a small toothbrush size steel brush, trying to clean up the rock, Big mistake, when I rinsed most of this mud off So went a lot of the druzy, I mean the whole 15 lb.rock Sparkled before, not now, even that hard mud, some Druzy is still there
