What part of Arizona were you rockhounding for these agates, and quartz crystals? I personally live south of Tucson, down in Vail, and Im interested to know. Thanks @Agate Dad\

I have pallets of rocks I've found on my property. I live near Tombstone. I bought a cheap tile saw. My wife says I am the only grown man she knows who always has rocks in his pockets.

I can not thank you enough for your videos. I am 53 and not sure I’ll ever be able to spot great finds. Great meaning what geologist and experienced rock hounds search for and gather. I’ve always loved rocks normally due to shape. I never realized how beautiful they can be on the inside. Your channel is bar far my favorite along with two other Channels. No fake skits just like educational and love for rocks. Thank you. So glad you loved Arizona rocks. Hopefully you can come more often. It helps me so much to find nice rocks here in Arizona.

Great finds! I was just in Arizona a couple of weeks ago. Did some hounding north of Sedona near Gray Mountain. Found some agate, jasper, petrifiedwood but strangest of all was a small cowrie shell. It's a bit weathered. I'd like to think it got there by Native Americans trading.

I'm anxious to see what you do with each type because I don't know what should be cut or tumbled... or will it be sandstone, ☹️ Thank you.

Beautiful area, but also mysteriously dangerous. Several people have disappeared, and skeletal remains have been uncovered. My sibling suffered nearly fatal injuries after crashing in a wash in that exact location. There are quite a bit of ancient native foot paths out there too...( Maybe the area has some suffering souls lingering around.) Very nice area, just be cautious, and don't wander at night.(lots of coyotes and wild dogs) I ran into some Mountain Lion dens myself... It's one of the few areas left where they can roam free and unbothered.
