Jen, glad you enjoyed it, and followed along on the talk walk! I do a lot of "shorts" on different rock types from the rivers and beaches mostly, (My Daily Rock playlist) that you might enjoy. You mention the rocks over there - that is what caught my eye on your video about the bluffs. The amazing deep history contained in an ancient riverbed or beach gravel is always intriguing to me. And your style - very calm and relaxing. Keep up the good work! Talk a Walk... that sounds good.

@@chrissgraniteparadise2656 Thanks Chris! Great to meet you. I’ll check out your videos explaining the rock types- I’d love to finally know what I’m looking at along the beaches… I’m a bit busy at the moment, but look forward to watching once things settle down in a few weeks! 😄👌 Jen

It is all held just by gravity!

I would imagine that in Costa Rica you find a lot of volcanic rocks, and especially porphyries. True?

That is awesome to know, and I hope you will let me know if a video of mine leads you to a great discovery in your collection!

Thanks, and, coming from a fellow rock enthusiast, that carries some weight!

Thank you! That is good to know!

I remember that YOU found a lot of these!

Sounds like a nice place to have grown up. Thanks for checking out the video!

I have never found puddingstones (or leopard rocks, as I remember them being called) in Rock Creek, but I am assuming you watched my short on those - which are from the Yellowstone. As a kid, I remember visiting someone in the area you are mentioning, and their house was SURROUNDED with huge puddingstones they had collected in the river, which was on their property. I remember my mom's friend was so happy when I pulled another giant one out of the river for her. I am curious what you mean by "separated" - do you mean more space between the phenocrysts?

It took me a minute to remember what screams - you mean the cheering for the stills? Can't please everyone, I guess.

Nice, river rocks have always been my favorite as well. I hope you enjoy the channel!

The reason I say aventurine is that it is full of that greenish mica. But I think I do have some pieces with the garnet you mentioned. A very bright green, correct?

@@chrissgraniteparadise2656 it varies from pine needle greed to electric bright green chromium. Its often mixed with a tea colored translucent idocrase and a white matrix. The serpentine, HGG, idocrase, nephrite, listwanite, diopside, and even jadeite are all subduction zone metamorphics. they are often mixed together in the same rock.

Thanks!

Hello Veronica, I think it really depends on the porosity and mineral content of the stone. Travertine, for example, is porous, and yet endures the frost ok. And some of the darker canteras also survive. But the orange is really softer and is crumbling every winter into sand. Remember, we have 40 C above zero in summer and 30 C below zero in winter, and even in a single day the temperature swings wildly, especially in winter.

The Lerma - mostly from untreated sewage and factory waste from Toluca, right?

I hope you guys keep enjoying my stuff. I will try to add more splashes and stuff for you.

Thanks, I am posting more of these as I process them - they are from last year. Eventually I will have a new playlist of the Shadows and Skies series.

I try to be accurate and complete - in 59 seconds, LOL. Thanks!

EYE CANDY - I have always enjoyed that term. Like a jawbreaker for the eyes: you can look at some rocks for HOURS and not get bored. That innate combination of deep past history, interesting structures, colors and textures. Thanks!

Oh wow, thank you for that thumbs up, and for the encouragement. I hope you will enjoy the channel then - a lot about the sculptures, rocks, shadow timelapses, and a few ecofriendly bug-smashes too! And of course, I have more to share yet. Lots of rocks to talk about!

El Jovenazo Papanteco ha vuelto!!! Te he extranado amigo.
