At 10, agreed. There is likely some iron in that one too.

Thanks for the kind words! I will try and keep you coming back. I have been really busy on the patio remodeling project, but I hope to post something rock-related soon again.

Garnet is associated with epidote sometimes.

The quartz at the 11 mark could have some aluminum oxide in them as well.

The red mineral is jasper after hematite. At the 11:30ish point

Somehow just now seeing this. Only appearing in my stats page. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you stick with the hobby and all it has to offer - cool conversation pieces, good outdoor healthy activity, etc.

That rock I thought I'd found for you is quartzite after conglomerate, not whatever gnarly jasper specimen like mine you're so fond of. Unfortunately.

At 9:25 that appears to be a massive to granular epidote with perhaps massive to granular garnet, but in my experience it's likely orthoclase feldspar.

I have three or four of these around, and I would love to find the source and see it in large chunks. Pretty stuff. The only thing about feldspar is that it would show cleavage in the sun, right? This does not.

@chrissgraniteparadise2656 not in massive habit, will send a picture or two soon.

I thought I had a rock "issue". That is until I saw your backyard.

16:30 I would agree with unakite. It can be nearly black.

14:28 is pyroxene

@@chrissgraniteparadise2656 I live in foco and have a collection myself, smaller but many of the similar specimens. I learned a few from your video as well. Only a novice at it, but I adore petrology.
