Let's go exploring for gems on a river along the North Shore of Lake Superior! I was able to get out on this adventure with many thank to our uncommonly warm winter! I found Lake Superior agates, one of the most beautiful pieces of prehnite I have ever found, and a gorgeous chunk of Mary Ellen jasper!

I found a saying that immediately made me think of you. "Not all who wander are lost. Some of us are just looking for rocks." Thanks for freezing your ...everything...off so we could see all the beautiful finds.

It reminds me of hundreds of desert roses.... beautiful as is!

Toothbrush with Barkeeper's Friend. That's a mild acid found in tomatoes. You could also soak it in vinegar for a little while then neutralize it with a little baking soda in water.

@canadiangemstones7636 4 месяца назад

That prehnite came from a BIG vug/vein, and didn’t travel too far. I’d be looking real hard for the source.

Oxalic acid is used to clean quartz crystals, it'll probably work on other minerals as well.

@hammerstoneartifacts4986 4 месяца назад

make sure you're keeping an eye out for arrowheads

@paulgilbert225 4 месяца назад

The Maryellen is an awesome find. Going to look pretty awesome when it's cut and polished. I think you should take a small cut off the phrenite, would like to see what that looks like inside. 👍

Too cold for me!! I loved all the jaspers. Thanks for sharing.

I love that the phoenixes bots look like tiny rosebuds! Thanks for risking frostbite of the wazoo to find it.

@dawnminard218 11 дней назад

Agate, dad. Use warm water and dawn dish soap. With a very soft toothbrush, it will clean that up perfectly. And get the dirt out.

You can use muriatic acid to clean prehnite. I have some beautiful specimens that I found at the Cliff mine in Michigan.

@AgateDad 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the tip!

@beckycaudill998 4 месяца назад

I do not know if this helps,but an alternative to music acid is a product called Acid Magic. It is safe on your skin. We use it to dip sea shells and it works just as good as music acid. Thought it was worth a mention.

@elizabethschaer9636 2 месяца назад

I believe muriatic acid is HCl. You can get it at pool stores. I would dilute it and progress toward higher concentrations. If you are used to the concentration of vinegar, acetic acid, used for cooking, this is much stronger.

I love going out rock hounding. There is a small canyon less than 3 miles away from my house and recently the river in the canyon changed its path and it exposed a lot of sandstone rock with shell fossils in it. I love seeing new areas in your videos

Omg so jealous of that second prehnite 😭 that one was gorgeous i wish i had stuff like that out where i am lol i would have rannn to that spot if i was close to pick her up 🤣

@joang.cavanna2046 2 месяца назад

I would have taken the big piece of phrenite home. The crystals and colors were amazing? I love the rock with the geode pockets. I hope you took that home - so unique. Isn't stuff like that called universe stone or something because when it's cut It looks like stars and planets? I think I might have seen Theo Kellison or Montana Rocks cut some. The MaryEllen jasper is beautiful! Thanks for explaining that it is a fossil. Awesome.

Always look forward to seeing your posts...... just a thought , have you ever considered laser to clean your rocks 'cause I see them used to clean rust from automotive parts. You never know it could simplify the process without any damage. Good luck!

Try applying a runny paste of borax & warm water. Then use a soft brush to massage it into the crevasse. Rinse well.

Muriatic Acid? Another rockhound i follow sometimes cleans her rocks and crystals with it.

@deborahjudyboucher1072 4 месяца назад

You could try soaking it the denture tabs. The kind that some people use to clean their dentures with.

Try using steam to clean that rock. It should clean up real well.

So are you closer to where are I see you rock hunting a lot or are you down towards the twin cities more? Just curious cuz I'm just north of the twin cities a little bit.
