Hold on, just wait a minute right here!!... So, you guys, ★BOTH★ just actually admitted to being LEGITIMATE, PROFESSIONAL-GEOLOGISTS?!?!?... Now, in my personal opinion, the fact that both of you gentlemen are now retired from the trade does not matter very much here, considering that in your chosen proffesions not much (if anything at all for that matter!) has probably changed at all, as far as the (let the Geolgy puns BEGIN! 😂) "CONCRETE" FACTS within the basic Science of Geology, such as specific terminology, Geographical/Geological locations/settings where certain elements,minerals,rocks,etc. could & should be found, or located, I.E: Almost as if those types of things were dare I say: "WRITTEN IN STONE" essentially!! And the fact that you are both retired also means that you have had ENTIRE EXPANSIVE CAREERS WITHIN THE FIELD, which ultimately makes you both more like authorities on the subject matter. As in IF THERE WERE ANYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD THAT COULD POSSIBLY GIVE SOME DEFINITIVE, EDUCATED, UN-BIASED, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, CORRECT ANSWERS TO THE SERIES OF RATHER TECHNICAL QUESTIONS THAT "MBMMLLC" ASKED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VIDEO, IN HOPES TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM SOME ACTUAL PROFESIONALS LIKE YOURSELVES, AND YET, YOU BOTH FAILED TO PROVIDE ANY KIND OF ANSWERS OR SHARE ANY TYPE OF KNOWLEDGE IN REGARDS TO ANY OF "MBMMLLC's" SPECIFIC QUESTIONS WHATSOEVER?!?!... 🙋🏼‍♂️💁🏼‍♂️🙆🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🙇🏼‍♂️🙍🏼‍♂️🙎🏼‍♂️.... You didn't have anything negative to say either however, and you both did, in fact, compliment his video, but regardless I think at least a few answers to some of his questions would be far more helpful, they would also be helpful to people like myself, that know ABSOLUTELY ZERO about Geology, at all, and would ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO HEAR (Well, in this particular instance technically, it would be reading! 😅) WHAT ALL OF THESE ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKINGLY, BEAUTIFUL, AND PRISTINE LOOKING EXAMPLES OF THE MOST UNIQUE GEOLOGICAL-FINDS, OR ROCKS/MINERALS, OR WHATEVER THESE ACTUALLY MAY BE, ARE ACTUALLY CALLED/NAMED, WHAT THEY ARE COMPOSED OR MADE-UP OF, AND THE ALSO MAYBE THE RARITY OF SUCH FINDINGS WITHIN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, OR MORE SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE CASCADES MOUNTAIN RANGE!!! As all of the information shown here on this video has me SUPER-INTIGUED, & WANTING TO LEARN/KNOW MORE about those specifics, as I just so happen to be a 4th Generation resident of Clackamas County, OR, more specifically, in Oregon City, AKA "The End of the Oregon Trail", which is less than an hours drive away from Mt. Hood!!! This area that he is exploring in looks extremely similar to what I would find around me after just a short drive after all!!!

@@tgabe6163 The greenish-blue gold-bearing mineral appears to be Mariposite, named after the County of Mariposa, California. This was one of the associated rock types that contributed to successful hard-rock gold mining in the early days after the so-called gold rush. Not all Mariposite contains gold, however. Many lapidary artists use the rock for making attractive jewelry pieces for both men and women.

Hey Jason amazing video. I'm a Physical Therapist down in Sonoma Co. CA and a beginner rockhound. I suspect your popping knee issue could be something called your iliotibial band - the terrain you're on in this video puts a huge amount of load through it. There are a lot of biomechanical factors that can contribute to issues of that sort, and I think you could probably benefit from getting it properly diagnosed and treated. Killer video!

For testing to see if it is Jade or Serpentine, you can use a Mohs Hardness test kit. You scratch the stone with something just under the hardness of Jade (about 6.5-7 on the Mohs Scale) and if it doesn't scratch you have Jade. Great stuff Jason it is always fun and educational watching your videos.

That big boulder you found that is a dark green in color is most certainly Serpentine and although it isn't Jade itself, Serpentine is certainly still valuable and is considered part of the Noble and precious minerals that are part of the jewelry and ornamental industries. So if you were to return to that location and bring down that huge rock and slab it up, I'm almost certain you could sell it and the amount of money you get will be dependent upon the purity of that rock and if there are any inclusions in it.

@@williambenedetto7900 Jade PURITY and color is what determines price. (just like with most other precious and semi-precious stones/minerals) For example, if you have a dark green jade with lots of inclusions and motley swirls , it will not bring nearly the price that a perfect apple green with minimal inclusions chunk would do. Also consider that, contrary to what you might think, different parts of the world and market prefer DIFFERENT colors, i thought that bright green is the MOST desirable, but have come to find out that in China the traditional preference is for white or pale jade, or even lavender jade with green jade being secondary.

Amazing video and geology. I'd suggest eventually taking a sensitive metal detector like a gold bug 2 up there, of course packed away until you're amidst all the green stuff. Often the more coarse the gold, the smaller the veins and more calm 'backwaters' of the perculating ore rich fluids. Larger seams often have lots of mixing and a turbulent environment which often doesn't allow for more extended cooling to form larger concentrations (such as gold crystals), but perhaps you knew all that. -With some more alteration (metamorphism), you could have had some nephrite jade up there too...Oh, I spoke too soon, there's the jade, 26 min in. The jade can be worth a lot to Chinese buyers (big bucks on the level of gold.) Need to tap off a piece (easier said than done), slab it and look at the color and cracks...I always use elastic compression bands around the knees for off trail hiking, it saves them big time. Sorry for such a ridiculously long message...Of course, say hello to the NW sasquatches :) Just subbed to the channel.

You love what you do and it comes through so well. Your excitement when you see random rocks is awesome. Also get a soft knee brace for when you do this, it will help keep everything aligned.

Jason really enjoyed this whole adventure of yours and so thanks for letting us tag-a-long. Oh, and the popping.. Could be a few things, but I would bet money that it is your Meniscus, which is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that acts as a cushion between the shinbone (tibia) and thighbone (femur). I know the popping and the tear eventually gets worse. Any Sports Medicine Doctor can share the pros/cons with you. Mine ended up getting tucked underneath creating so much pain that I couldn't put any weight on it at all. Fortunately, the surgery is an in and out one hour thingy and you can walk almost within hours with no more pain.

Awesome stuff Jason. I cut up a bit of that same stuff myself. Have a few small chunks in the rock tumbler. I'm actually more curious how much copper you find in that stuff than the gold. I think most of that blue/green comes from copper. I found some chrysocolla in some copper ore I picked up from the tailings pile of an old copper mine near where I live. Almost the same color, however, chrysocolla, I've noticed, has an obvious crystal structure under the microscope (I bought that same phone clip one you have), whereas the color in the listwanite doesn't seem to have any different texture than the rest of the rock under the microscope.

Oh Jason! Gorgeous specimens after you slabbed them! And, I wonder if this is similar to Dan's Ocean Picture Stone? Don't know much about specifics on figuring out what is what, all melded together. The last question you had was the huge blackish-green rock. From Dan's GLOTDs, my money is on some expensive jade. Your light penetrated all the way through except for a small area in the middle. If you tap it, it should ping instead of a rock sound. Weight is also a clue. I would look at other sites selling jade, before you give away such a highly prized specimen. As always, thank you for sharing this with us! I'm happy about how everything turned out! Blessings from Alabama ❤️

Specific gravity of the possible jade might be the most helpful metric. Easy to measure with your cutoff and it should come in at about 3.0 (check me on that). Impurities/inclusions introduce some variability. If you’re going to chase jade in WA, you should pick up Lanny Ream’s “Nephrite Jade of Washington.”

Commonly called "pistol butt" in areas of heavy winter snow. The weight of the snow slowly pushing downhill due to gravity and the tree trunk curves to compensate and try to grow vertically. You can see it all over Western Washington in the higher altitudes with heavy winter snow.

Thank You for the walk and SO MUCH for Teaching! Find yourself a good, live hard wood branch, and cut it to just above your shoulder. Trim the bottom to a 1"-1-1/2" flattened point. It makes going up hill, down hill, and crossing water much easier and more safe with your 3rd point and will save your knees. Mine are better because of a stick. 🙏🚂🎼🌹🎵🎶🛠 ~C< 3)>>-Z->}

Awesome samples Jason. You might try a scratch test on that blue stuff to see if it is chrysocolla. It sure looks like it. My first thought about the orange stripes was that it was some amphibole that had gone to mica and clay, but it seems to be a lot sturdier than that would be. Any chance it's Sphalerite?

oh hey mbmmllc, was that jade potentially a malachite? idk the difference between the two, but i just know its another cool green rock- edit Malachite is softer than jade and will not attain a luster/polish near that of jade, also malachite will scratch much more easily and its surface will dull easier than jade. Jade is known for its extreme toughness amongst semiprecious gem material.

The 30 minute rerun of the last video at the start is some great footage but at best it is stealing views from the original version because people arent going back to watch that one first. At worst, not everyone seems to have caught the timestamp you put at the start, so people who saw the original are thinking the whole video is a rerun and giving up before the new part starts. I don't think reuploading the same long form video with a short update at the end will help your channel. I watched the whole thing again but not everyone will

Oh in reply to your knee popping, my knee started doing that in my mid to late 30s, I'm now 46 and the doc said I might need a new knee in 10 years. My minsucus has cracked clean in half and I've got some arthritis in there which causes some fluid build up. Last time I got it drained they pulled 50ml out. It hurts pretty much all the time, but it's bearable. Medical cannabis helps 😉
