If you leave the plates for a couple of years, do you know if you can still split it? I went a couple of years ago and have some left to prep, but I wonder if it would help to soak them before splitting because they are super dry.

You can submerge the cup in cold water it stops the heating process right away.

What beautiful rocks you found while you were chilling.🥵🗻🪨♊💎🧊🌄😎👍

They do call it a nikko in Australia haha 😂

Yo, Go about half way up - heading south, off the Stillwater Highway - Midnight Canyon. Go west, off the road, up up onto the bench, west alonf the valley. You'll find fossils, and petrified wood, evetywhere. Take MSU students and Instructors with you. And, While doing scuba, for Search and Rescue - long ago - I found myself, in a submerged - ancient (Ancient!!!) forest, of standing trees... (All leaning the same. [An "Axe-man" Crew Chief observation.]... ... Once buried deep in seasonable flood sediments... ... (Layers, 30 - 40ft deep, to roots..!..?). ... It got exposed - again - as the river changed course - channels, and cut deep deep. ... I was right at 30ft bottom - altitude measure. ... Like what I was seeing while working.. .... With long - fat - straight trees all around... Thick.... But, with tops broken off, at the water-air line. ... In cold water... But... Warming!!!!!!!!!!! It needs to be researched... ... Good divers, scientists, tech... ... Mid - late August... Low water... Safer... Anyway, I trust my gut... And, all this I write of, has $$$ potential. ... Even, if only, for funding your "hobbies." ... However, I see far more than only "hobby", here. Thanks. Oh, and theres other stuff you will like seeing, and place to hear about... That, too, need research... Bigtime! If only, for fun. Oh, too... Important rope tricks, that I need some pro- help, to get on tape, for folks to learn and use... Even - especially - kids. ... I feel you would be very good at seeing it through... At least, on some of it. ... If only, to get me connected with good folks, wholl give it proper professional action. ... If only, for huge smiles, as you realize what it is, you're a part of... Discovery... This from before, or just after Ice Age. Oh, and, there are other people, who will help. I'm getting too old, broke, broken, and worn out. I'd like knowing, it happened... Finally. And, youll be working moreso - with my little-Sis.... Smart "kid." Lol. ... She grew up with our Dad...(Mines). I may be able to get CDC, from LA Harbor, to have some fun, too. As I remember, I signed their Register, when I did the Commercial Diver Orientation... ... (Early March '76.) It was usable wood... ... And, i know where there's far more. Yes! I am letting you sense the urgency. It needs a good team. And, I figure, Word given... Word kept. And, I've had 40+ yrs to ponder it. It needs professionals... ... champions. Even if "No." ... Thanks. Very cool. Semper Fidelis... Oh, have you ever been to Glacier Park...?

I'm so sad I missed this live! The ring is gorgeous 😍 Wishing you two love birds the best. 💜🤗

Hi Theo. I've been going on Etsy to buy some of your products but I can't find any. Did you stop selling on Etsy?

Blue

WOW absolutely amazing ❤

We have a lot of jasper and banded iron in Wyoming.

Awesome video!!! Love it, I’m just learning in the last couple of months, I wish you could slow down a little while you are showing the Agates because I can’t see the Bands in most of them, they look just like the ones I’m finding…Agates without the bands? So if I’m not wrong what I’m finding so many times is chalcedony? Please help. I’m from NB Canada, East Coast….So many beaches around here, everywhere you look but it seems Nova Scotia lucked out and got all most all of the Agates. Cheers and have fun. thanks so much for Posting 😊

Holy smokes! Mexican lace is my fave!! They are all gorgeous.❤

Ta Da! Great job Alexis.

Absolutely great finds and cuts…buuutt…what happened to the agate seam you were gonna cut down the middle of the seam? You showed it and said how you were going to cut it but didn’t show it cut. Inquiring minds want to know!

Luuuv the partial round agatized wood 🪵 chunk

Great finds 👌👌

I "love it so much!" I want a t shirt that says "it's so cool!. I'm so happy right now!". Or one of your inspiring phrases.

I’ve thrown away so many red abalone shells … with 2 of us getting limits For years. Wish I saved some or gave them away.

You are all so damn cute, I cant stand it. Also, give me a heads up when you go live. I'd definitely have sent you ice cream!

Hey!! Nice shirt!!

Marathon live stream but it was worth it to see that fire in the opals at the end. Great to see you guys having so much fun

THEO you should do a faceting with that blue chalcedony. i bet it look crazy good

hello Theo, Alex and Rookie! It is nice to see you three in the same place.🥰 Theo , Alex Congrats on your up coming wedding. "Rocky marriage!" it's a best wish from my country that is said to newly wed.

Watched live until my phone died, Jessie was hilarious ad lib stand up with Alexis... nice finish on Theos ring too. My guts still hurt (chaos in the best way) from all the fun WE had. Theo I've been thinking about an up grade on that weak purple kind of black lite you got @ Blgs Rock show last yr...it sux but I found a much better one shortly after we met. It's so intense... I feel bad for giving you that sad example . Forgive me... until our paths cross again 😊 All the best for you. If in Livingston area Rookie must have MARK'S IN & OUT since 1954 ( Cheeseburger in Paradise) let me know I'll buy.

If Theo gets a tattoo Consider one on your ring finger with your brides name 😊 I want to add you guys are so fun Love, Grandma ❤

Jesse, so fun to have you here. If You need anything in Northern Utah, we’ll show you around! We think you are great.

I'm sorry I couldn't hang until the end, but I finished watching this morning. The ring turned out amazing!!! I ❤️ you kids!!

I’m sitting in the airport watching three of my favorite rockers. Awesome. That BLUE!!!! wow. It looks fake and I love that it’s real. Finds of a lifetime and I think it’s amazing you found the second piece and made it a bff rock. So cool.

I love big blue coral bots, and I cannot lie. 💙

Finished the live just now with AM ☕️ beautifully done! Laffin thru my morning. congratulations again thealexis Enjoy your stay Jesse.

Seriously the most chaotic fun I’ve had! Thank you guys for watching and having fun with us! ❤

Alexia you nailed it!!!!!! Wow that petrified wood was heart stopping for sure! Love seeing y'all hunt together! Thank you for an amazing video.

Such beauties. I love the green jasper!

Ahaha love your commentary ❤ very helpful videos keep them coming 🎉

Love all the beautiful rocks that you found today! But the thing that set my heart singing was the beautiful ammonite with the sutures on the backdrop of all of your rock- showing! I would love having that on display in my home! Thanks for the trip to the mountains today!

Wow….huge wood! Love the blues and green. I’m intrigued by the tiny penguin. Thanks

Theo, I love your shows! Cool cleaning up the fossils. You are a great artist.
