Rock and Mineral Identification 

Hello everybody, it's been a long time since I have posted on this channel. I am now professionally trained and ready to take Study Buddy Studios to the next level... to The Digiverse! I can create highly interactive virtual classrooms for various subjects that play like video games and can connect teachers with students through video confrence calls within the virtual classroom. I am looking for a Canadian university or college to sponsor me to make this happen and I need your help. Please watch my newest upload to this channel, share and leave a comment. Cheers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P4soBPuFmBo.html

Wonderful! If I listen to it every day for a month maybe some of the learning will stick. Thanks for posting.

You are a unique Geologist, the teaching method is exceptional. I learn a lot here. Thanks very much

Wish you had been my teacher at school in 1956, a very good and easily understood video, well done!

What an excellent video. I love rocks and minerals. I cant get enough of them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for sharing this. I've marked it to come back in late spring and use it to identify the rocks & minerals in my brook. I appreciated your direct approach with information and camera sets.

This is so informative! I recently started hunting agates and it's great knowing what else I find along the way!

This is helping with my Science Olympiad competition. THANK YOU!

Loved this wonderful video! Youve answered so many questions. You have a great narrative voice!

Nice work. Reminds me of my university days going on Geology field trips. Loved every minute of it.

Honestly thanks this was one of the best videos that I have watched in a long time. I have been collecting rocks and minerals for a long time.. finally I know what I have. Thanks for a great video :)

THANK YOU, ONE OF THE BEST DISCRIPTIONS & CLEAR PICTURES I'VE SEEN.

Not a student, but I found this very helpful! Looking at buying some land in the North Georgia mountains and found some neat minerals and rocks, as well as a LOT of quartz. This helped me with figuring out what some of the rocks I brought home from the land site are!

Thank you, very awesome and helpful. So excited to finally recognize stones.

Thanks for sharing this informative video on rock and mineral identification! I found it really helpful to learn about the different characteristics to look for, such as color, texture, and hardness. I also appreciated the tips on using tools like a magnifying glass or scratch test to further narrow down the possibilities. As someone who is just getting started with rock collecting, this video gave me a great foundation for identifying specimens in the field. Keep up the great work!"

Очень интересный фильм, познавательный.Смотрю и оторваться не могу! Спасибо автору за удовольствие рассматривать эти прекрасные образцы.

It is very nice teaching and learning!!! Especially for geology departement that focus on mineral!!

This video made me laugh, it made me cry, its the feel good hit of the year!

I absolutely love this, thank you. Time to see-look, hear aboutand think, I love it.

Great job of compling this, excellent for learning about base geology, thank you!

I studied off of this video and got a better understanding for my lab test. The only thing I would say is if you could label whether they're igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic. I knew some but not all. No worries, I looked it up. But other than that, this was amazing. Thanks so much.

Awesome video. I am mesmerized by the unusual beauty of every stone and rocks. I collect pebbles and stones.

Hello Mrs. Robert here I love your channel. I have been slacking on for 33 years and have no plans to stop

Great video! All discussion aside as to how you got the rocks to spin 🙄😂, it's really cool that you did that. So much more helpful being able to see the rocks & minerals from different angles rather than looking at a flat picture in a book. Awesome job!

So effective with this helpfull Field Guide. many thanks

I always remember that the difference between limestone and dolostone from a geographers perspective is that the dolostone is like a sponge to water, limestone has a tight interlocking crystal structure and water penetrates along joints and bedding planes. The marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolostone - interesting video, thanks

Sure wish I'd had this channel to study, at night, when I was in school--thank you! A super review of some of my fave minerals!

💎Wish you had been my teacher at school in 1970, a very good and easily understood video, well done!💎💍

Good One. Useful for the Students of Geology.

I Love Mankind Soo Much. For All This Knowledge.

Thanks for putting up this video. Informative and exciting.

What an expert! Awesome presentation.

I'm at Big Bear Lake CA and I'm finding large chunks of pink, white and grey "quartzy" type rocks. They are fantastic! I studied geology a bit 35 years ago and I've forgotten so much. I think these are granite... Maybe a few marble?? Thank you! Great video!

Love the intro brah, hardcore!

You Rock! Thank you so very much. You have a great voice, reminds of a detective show.

More than 35 years ago, `I studied geology, but forgot how to identify rocks. Thanks for helping me identify it, with simple steps!

I love quartz it looks beautiful and its so easy to find :DD

thanks for Rock and Mineral Identification.

I love these things.Great video. Thanks!

This video is perfect for my science class about mineral identification assignment

Thanks for the video! It is very helpful of you!!!!!

liked this presentation, thank you!

It's a very important for me to know about identification of rocks and minerals thank you so much sir

This video taken form my practical exams is very good thanks to making this video

surely i love geology, nice lesson

So...I never knew being a geologist or studying rocks was so damn cool. I kinda wanna do it...I've always loved rocks lol but genuinely, I could spend hours rock hunting

I've always been interested in rocks and their various colors but don't know how precious they are until I see this clip.

wao!! this video contains all those rocks that are written in the syllabus of my olympiad thnx a lot..

YES, thank you...for my grandson Monty!

Great! Thanks for sharing!

for us blind on the sobject,that's an eyes opening.thanks 10000

Very helpful, thanks for the video!

Although I'm still in high school but I find it very interesting. I would advice majority of the public to be geologist because it is very important in life. As for me I would love to be a mineral geologist

awesome thank you for this video

Thank You I really appreciate your time...Learned a lot !! Will be watching for more Videos....🥰🤗🥰💥💓💓💓💓

2nd time watching. Actually learned some information this time, after uncovering the processes of recognizing some gem markings in the rough. Diamonds and Gold beware when I get off this leash!!!

Nice concept. Had trouble seeing colors and textures.would like to see more with more info, maybe uses or where they are most often found. Nice job over all

helped me in my science homework i know who i am subscribing to

Great video and covers quite a few rocks found in Michigan

I love rocks so much Thanks for this amazing video

Me ajudou muito! Obrigado. Brasil!

a nice video even we don't underestand english very well!

You are good. the analogy is fantastic

Thank you..very to the point and will be very helpful:)

Now that I think of it my true love is stone and minerals.

Good information

Thank you very much for sharing! Very helpful.

this is helpful for rock hounds as well. i live in the Adirondacks and have seem most of those in my travels, a few i know on sight but a few can be tricky. thanks for posting!

It would be nice if you told us something about how these originate. Like where was this Orthoclase found, how widespread is it, where is it typically, and how is it formed?

This specimens are in general, some similar specimens have different appearance. For example : pyroxene, sometimes ocured in crystal form. And some others ..

Awesome! You're very Thorough .

i learn so much! thank you

Im learning this for the sheer chance I'm thrown through time and have to rebuild the world. Not having to figure out what raw materials are and smelting them.

Thank you very good explanation .We can see that you know what you talking about.

Thank you for the work and video,you are great

Quartz - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="20">0:20</a> Plagioclase - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="69">1:09</a> Biotite + Muscovite - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="134">2:14</a> Hornblende - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="160">2:40</a> Pyroxene - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="191">3:11</a> Magnetite - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="320">5:20</a>

It's a wonderful video, but I would also categorize them into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Regards!

สุดยอด ของหิน แต่ละ ชนิด ซึ่งมี ลวดลาย สวยงาม ตามธรรม ชาติ สุดยอด มากมาก เลย ครับ ผม

This is great! Thanks for making the video

Thank you !1

thank you so much the video was helpful but, the minerals and rocks we do in class are sooooo different from the ones in the video. the color and structure always changes i want to be able to identify a arock or mineral just by looking @ it... is that even possible?

Thank you. Great presentation.

muchisimas gracias por la excelente informacion tan bien detallada..

You said that quartz has concoidial fracture. I thought that was the smooth curves seen in flint and obsidian in the angle and appearance of a hole in glass made by a BB. Not trying to sound smarty, I'd really like to know. Thanks for the excellent video.

Wondering where you are from(?) I find it funny when there’s an option of how to pronounce, you say it differently than I do. I love this video!

Thank you kind sir for having made this video. I have a Geology lab exam soon and this video was very helpfull.

When you say "structure,Massive" what exactly does that mean?

Love this video! I don't have much knowledge about geology but i am interested in it more and more. A few years ago i was lucky to work in Labrador. On a hike, i found some Labradorite, which i was able to bring a specimen the size of half a fist. I was also able to get a sample specimen of Nickel from the mine where I worked. I've had an interest in geology and gem cutting since. Videos such as yours here keeps my interest on the subject. Does anyone have any inside knowledge on the industry? Is a career in geology worth it? Are there lots of job openings or is it a sector with low employment prospects? What type of work does one usually end up doing as a geologist?

Thank you. I was able to identify some rocks in my collection.

Thank you for your knowledge

To cool got some of my own I was thinking real gold in thinking of right never work again at 36 sad but funny thank you for the intell peace

Hooray I have one; An ‘Appetite!’

Beautifully presented 👍👍👍

very good and clear, thanks a lot.

They're rocks, Hank!

I NEED IT'S SUBTITLE...WOULD U PLEASE ADD ....OR MAKE A SUBTITLEW FOR IT...THE VIDEO IS PERFECT

Now you need a video on how they are made and where they are mainly found. Thank you!

Great collection. :)
