Great video! Thank you for making such a visual and informative collection of agate facts. Would Dr. Gary, Tom, or Steve like to be on the Rockhound Podcast? We'd love to have any or all of you on as a guest/s. Cheers!

Where can I request a map where it is ok to hunt for these agates. I don’t want to trespass on private property. I know you mentioned pubic access, but I would be coming from the midwest and need to know where to find those areas. Thank you 😊

Would you call flint knapping conchoidal fracturing?

@garyicopini2090 Жыл бұрын

No, but it’s sort of a semantics. Conchoidal fracture is the physical characteristic of the rock that allows for successful knapping. Conchoidal fracture is just how the rock breaks every time. Flint knapping is a skill that takes advantage of how the rock breaks. Any chalcedony (flint, agate, chert, etc…) can be knapped, if it has a consistent internal structure and no fractures. I have found two agate core stones (the chunk left after knapping flakes). One of these core stones is pictured on the back of the 2023 MBMG calendar, which can be ordered from our website.
