so we're doing some rockhounding up on the north shore of lake superior on the minnesota side
and right now walking down to a river that we've only been to one time we went downstream the first
time today we're going upstream see we can find let me show you the spot it's so beautiful here
so through all these rocks and everything here i'm hoping to find
lake superior agates jasper maybe some porphyry and i'm very happy because looks like right here
good start we got ourselves a limonite stained nodule so we'll throw that in the bag
looks like some potential oh that's wedged in there huh
oh good grief i want to see what it is now as being so difficult
i thought it might be some seam agate but it looks like a really unique piece of quartz i'm gonna
bring that one home that's pretty cool looks like we might have some quartz pockets in host rock
oh yeah that's pretty neat i'm not going to bring this home but
still cool to find that's a pretty big rock
especially compared to this laminite stained agate that's hiding in between these two rocks
not the most for bands but that's pretty funky i'm really happy with that in the bag it goes
so i don't think this is an egg it right here but it looks pretty unique
i think that's probably chert but
i'm not totally sure if you got a good idea leave a comment and let me know
willa spotted a very very small orange nodule very little
picked up this little itty bitty agate right here and it's very small but i love the smalls because
they have some amazing detail really really beautiful so right here i think that might be
a little potentially an amethyst agate pocket in this host rock
looks like there's a lot of gunk in there it's definitely like a little
geode pocket but not big enough to haul the whole thing home
cool to find oh my gosh i just found that little geode and look what i just found what
holy moly look at this it's got a little quartz nodule here that's amethyst oh boy
you're coming home with me i'm gonna come back for you and you're gonna stay in there oh
wow that's crazy that's so cool spotted this one from a distance here how could you not
oh that's pretty some red oolitic jasper that's really nice oh yeah
oh that's pretty oh that's funny this side doesn't have limonite staining but
this side does i love that right here
nice that's the best agate of the day clean it off in the broth
that's pretty
very interesting that's like a quartzy nodule inside this giant rock
and that one gets to stay so right here we have some host rock and right there
some agate bands and a little piece stuck in there
not a whole lot else in there but that's pretty neat
so i'm slowly making my way back to our starting point and i'm just getting
back up on to that big host rock with the amethyst inside right here and i've decided
i'm gonna leave it here mainly because i just i don't want all you other guys watching
to get insecure that i can just easily one-handed carry this thing out just like that one hand grip
so i'm just gonna leave it here i'm just kidding i'm gonna leave it just because i
have had my fun bringing big rocks with geodes crystals in at home and i'm gonna leave this
here so others can enjoy it even though this is probably the coolest little geocrystal formation
i've ever found we're gonna leave it let others enjoy it and i take two steps away
from leaving that baby behind and i see this dusty little funky nodule
not quite the trait i was thinking and we found our first piece of porphyry
what's this that's yellow oh you're nothing mind that alignment i'd stain something
here's that porphyry i'll leave this one here
so i just spotted that guy right there i'm like 50 50 right now if it's an agate or not
looks like it might be it feels like an agate it's like wedged in there
and that is not an agate oh you got me good
but three feet away i spotted that and i'm pretty sure on this end i can see bands
oh yes yes that is beautiful little quartz oh sweet that is so cool lime and i'd stain banding
best find of the day that's awesome
look at that husk that is sweet
cool beans
so on our walk back i found a few more little goodies and that's going to be everything for
this rock hunting adventure i'm really happy with everything we found some really sweet
agates in that really cool amethyst crystal pocket and that hose rack was really cool hope
