Virtual rockhounding 😂 I like it

@Andsoamazingitis444 Месяц назад

You get just as exited about geology and rocks as I do I love it

@bamnguyen7903 2 месяца назад

I’m not a geologist but I like looking at rocks. I find myself picking them up at the beach and keeping the cool ones 😊

I went to Luna with Arizona Rockhound Expeditions two months ago. It was great! I even found a 29 lb chunk of agate in a road cut. Only about a quarter size section was visible above ground. I haven’t cut into it yet, as my saw is much too small. I was a little baffled to find that the BLUE chunk of agate, is now WHITE.

I am so happy seeing my home state of New Mexico having such beautiful minerals and giving you a gift of a lifetime. My husband and I have planned to go to that area but have to wait till the weather cools down. Thank you for not just showing us your adventures but for teaching us too, that’s why we love all your videos.

@ElleyKnowsRocks 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for watching. I’m so glad you liked it. I love New Mexico. It’s an amazing state full of minerals and so much beauty. It was very warm when I went. I was only wearing a jacket and pants to shield myself from the sun. Otherwise I would’ve been wearing shorts and a T-shirt. I hope that you can make it up there and I hope you find some thing. Amazing.

Your welcome:)

@dustinfindsrocks 9 месяцев назад

Heck yeah!!! The agate and quartz is similar to southeastern Missouri. Everything in Missouri is weird though I’m guessing this is a more typical hydrothermal type deposit. I just learned Missouri minerals are epithermal lol still not sure what that means. Great to see everyone excited 💎👀

@ElleyKnowsRocks 9 месяцев назад

It means the deposit happened with low temperature water. Not as hot as a Hydrothermal geothermal activity. The same type of process happens through void fulfillment of silica rich, warm water fluid. :)

@howradbankston3484 9 месяцев назад

I'm jealous that you got to go to New Mexico looks like so much fun in such a beautiful agate!! But please come down and listen to the best sounded homeless guy you have ever heard!!! I don't know why but people have a problem with me down here because I don't have no money I don't ever beg for money I never asked for nothing? So I don't understand why if they're jealous because I'm homeless and have more fun than they are? But I'm starting to get a complex and I need some support and inspiration!

@hopibethelbaptistchurchpas7767 11 дней назад

Wow, I have seen a few videos like this and that huge blue agate was the best I have ever seen! Where where you again? Laguna nm ? If I can be so bold what mt and area? I am in Flagstaff often. My book doesn't say anything like forms on the volcanic here...

@22wolfsong 9 месяцев назад

Wow that's a piece! Looks like I will have to check that area out! I am a amateur rockhounder and gold prospector. A few days ago I was at Diamond Point. Have enjoyed watching your videos.

@ElleyKnowsRocks 9 месяцев назад

That’s amazing. Keep it up. I love to hear of people in the field and especially if they’re learning something new. And amateurs become professional someday so keep going.

@howradbankston3484 9 месяцев назад

@ElleyKnowsRocks 9 месяцев назад

Occasionally, I leave rocks where they belong in the field. But most of the time I definitely bring stuff home. But I do try to limit myself, I promise, lol

@exploringwithdonald8444 8 месяцев назад

hey that's the same environment here in Tijeras I wonder if there's any here....

@lisam1305 4 месяца назад

Did you ever do anything with that amazing piece at 19:35? I've been hoping to see it again.

@lucy101 9 месяцев назад

I found a nearby creek with a lot of pink and blue chalcedony here in Washington. It's barely weathered, so I'm going to look upstream for the source.

@ElleyKnowsRocks 9 месяцев назад

If there are small hills around the stream that feed the stream, I would start hiking up the hills. :)

@Ghost51325 9 месяцев назад

Hell yeah. I found a bunch of good agates there.

@ElleyKnowsRocks 9 месяцев назад

It’s an awesome place

@wanderwomen6574 5 месяцев назад

Where?

@blrees56 8 месяцев назад

Where is this place?! Love your videos!

@todddaugherty110 7 месяцев назад

The Luna area is loaded with minerals. The "Luna Blue" is not that rare. I have 7 20 gallon buckets full of it. We have found blocks of it over 50 lbs. A little bit rarer is the "Luna Gold". The mineralization zone is huge. It stretches from Escudillo Mountain just north of Alpine, east to the Apache Creek and Aragon region and down will into the Gila National Forest. The pink you were finding is fairly common, but there is also a lavender that is spectacular. We hear that the Escudillo Mountain area is very productive after several years of devastating fires and then the resultant erosion means the rocks are easier to find.,

@wanderwomen6574 5 месяцев назад

where are you ?

@todddaugherty110 4 месяца назад

I am in El Paso, Texass. I spent 40 years collecting all over the Southwest, but New Mexico in particular. Age and health have prevented me from collecting for almost ten years now, so I live vicariously through the videos of others. @@wanderwomen6574

Pleas don't cut the big blue seam piece. Surface grind and polish it.

@everycoLor_312 9 месяцев назад

I found a rock, it almost looks shell like, but is definitely a rock. I wish I knew what kind it is✌🏼🙋🏼‍♀️👍🏻🤷🏼‍♀️

@ElleyKnowsRocks 9 месяцев назад

You probably have a fossilized shells get replaced with silica. During the fossilization process And therefore are as hard as the mineral or rock.

@everycoLor_312 9 месяцев назад

@ElleyKnowsRocks wow, thank you for responding. I thought it was a turtle sticking out of the ground, or not alive. Small white stones seem to be encapsulated within this rock form. I have never seen anything like it. Thank you again! Enjoy all of your content!

@everycoLor_312 9 месяцев назад

I also found a small shell on top of Pikes Peak🙋🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤣👍🏻
