Stunning agates, jaspers, petrified wood and more! These stones cover the gravels of the Yellowstone River in Montana and the best of them seem to sometimes be hidden in plain sight. How many of these treasured rocks do we step right over as we walk or hike over the gravels? I know sometimes I may walk right over a gorgeous agate more than once and completely miss it.
I always get asked where I get my water spray bottle from...so I thought I would post a link to Amazon for it....

Looking to learn about Yellowstone River agates? This is a publication from 1972 by a man named Paul Fry. This was the very first literature I read when I was learning about Montana agates. It is called "Meanderings of a Montana Rockhound" and it is priceless:
