Are you a #rockhound, or are you into #rockhounding ?
Many countries call the act of picking up #agates, #rocks or #stones as a collector or collecting them something different.

What does your country call it?

Here's a popular video from my honey & my YouTube channel called Agate Enchantment & Rock Wizardry. It's a good starter video if you're interested in rocks & agates.
Here's that video

Feel like after some false starts I’ve nailed this and produced something like I imagined. Agate band inspired watercolours #wip #art #watercolour #agates

Can't do much groundbreaking in the winter so I'll just daydream until weather permits that time..for another amazing find.

Free #gems!
#Agates are everywhere.
The De Beers Diamond Consortium doesn't want you to know this, but you can just go to local waterways and straight-up grab free gems out of the water. I have a big bucket full of these

I went down to the river and found lots of great #agates
cloudy days don't make for good lighting though

Mudlarking at Monte Lake (the Canadian version: agate digging in lakeside cliffs!)

I was just explaining #enhydro #agates to a friend, and dug up the video that my niece shared with me when she found one on a beach in #oregon. I figured you might want to see it, apologies in advance for the link location. The water is dinosaur-old.

#Today is the first day in 3 weeks my #rocktumbler isn’t going. This batch needs some friends before moving into the last grit stage. Quite the 🌈 for an “odds & ends” round!

All #agates from near #BendOregon limb-cast fields, mix of #jasper #PetrifiedWood and pretty rocks from there and the #PacificOcean #OregonCoast

Ground art, and a hilarious hang-wringing sign in a sea of corporate concrete

#ChemicalGardens are inorganic self-assembled structures. They can nucleate silicate #crystals that embed the tubular shapes similarly to #mineral filaments in #agates. Our work on this is featured on the November cover of ACS Earth&Space Chemistry. Authors: P. Knoll, B. Batista, S. McMahon, O. Steinbock. Great job, Pam!!
