so it's not the nicest day up here on the North Shore of Minnesota but we're at a
river finally in I just found two pieces of porphyry sitting right next to each other
check this out it looks like we got the porphyry right here and right there here's the first piece
not the best piece but this one looks like the crystals in it are a little more vibrant
oh looks better in the water we'll put it back in this one looks much better right here
ah yes very nice crystals in that
I've only been looking for another minute and I'm kind of in between uh two parts of
the river here on this mini Island and I know the water levels were just super high so this
area is just freshly washed off and I've looked at this spot in the past so I'm super excited that I
just found my biggest agate of the Year check this out I'm so excited I actually spotted it
from about I don't know five feedback this way look at that I saw it because of that yellow I'm
like that looks like Limonite oh yeah look at that sweet nodule oh that Limonite staining is
awesome let's sneak over to the river here try not to fall in get it rinsed off that's pretty
it does have some bands it looks like there it is right there
but for the most part it's just a giant Orange with Limonite staining nodule
I'm super happy with that that's sweet so as I'm moving up the river here I just want to say if you
are new to our videos please consider hitting that subscribe or follow button that way you can join
Along on many future Rockhounding Adventures so I just spotted something right over there
it's that orange thing it's like right there I no idea what it is it looks really unique I
don't think it's a agate but just the uniqueness of it caught my attention
oh that is so weird all those flat spots make me think that there were crystals
embedded in that at some point because those look like Crystal impressions
crazy pretty unique so I got my view tube up here so we can see in the water and
I saw this one right here from a ways away because it looked
kind of funny looks like it's got some vug pockets in it so I'm gonna grab my scoop
[Music]
let's check this baby out oh my gosh
there are a good bands throughout this entire thing
it's got a seam a seam of Agate and quartz running through it all the way around it that would be so
fun to cut open that's awesome I'm gonna keep that so I've moved much further up the river
because the available river bank that I had to search through basically disappeared so I found
a little Riverbank right here and right off the bat I found some for free and it is right there
it's got those orange crystals in it all over
I think this would be a fun one to bring home and cut as well so I'll probably do that
pretty sweet piece well I think I spotted a potential agate right there it's just a little guy
oh my goodness look at the bands on that little guy wow again it looks like a get
through host Rock Size Doesn't Matter when it is that beautiful my goodness awesome fine
foreign
[Applause]
I'm not sure on that one it looks like it has potential so I'm gonna say 50 50 on this one
that it's an agate because the husk is waxy it's got the potato skin those are some Quartz in there
it's very River washed and when I look closely I can see little areas where it looks like kind
of agatey quartz so this would be one that I cut so I'm gonna bring this one home as well
foreign
although we didn't have a ton of area to search on this River because of the
higher water levels we had such great success on our first River Rock hunting
Adventure I really hope you all enjoyed it if you did please leave a thumbs up leave
a comment let me know which find was your favorite and we'll see you next time bye
