  • In this one, we dig out all of the pieces in my private collection for some show and tell! These are all of the rocks that I have purchased, were given to me, and all of my personal finds that I don't plan on ever selling! We will go through and get good looks at a wide range of gems, minerals, fossils, and shells, including: labradorite, crystal specimens, huge tiger eye, malachite specimens, unusual fossils, and fantastic agates! I unfortunately had to cut a LOT of specimens from the video so that it was not 52 minutes long, but I promise to show more in the future. I hope you enjoy looking at some cool pieces, and I will have another one out very soon!

    Your collection is so beautiful and personal! I can hear in your voice how much love you have for the processes that shaped each of these rocks, or the biological specificity of the animals who used to reside in the shells. And the shells WITH the crystals are just a whole nother level of mind blowing!

      Thank you so much!😄 that means a lot! I really dont hold onto many rocks for my personal collection so each one is very special to me. It was hard having to cut the video down because it was originally about 52 minutes long but i didnt rhink the majority of my viewers would care to sit and watch that long😅

    I used to collect seashells when I was a child. My mom and dad would take us, nine siblings, to South Padre Island near Brownsville, Texas every Summer. I remember one time when I was sitting on the beach, admiring my newly acquired collection. My Grandfather approached me, and asked me to show him my beautiful array of seashells. That's a very good memory of my dear family that I never forget. 🏖️

    Hi Theo! My husband and I are people who love rocks, all kinds of rocks. We are now retired and have the time to learn more. We just discovered your channel (and others) and hope to do some rock hunting ourselves, but it will have to be my husband and son, as I am wheelchair bound. Because we are just learning, it would help a lot if you explained a little more, spoke a little more clearly and spoke a little more slowly. Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection with us!

    Hello Theo, I’m Lainie. I’ve recently discovered my passion for rocks, stones and pebbles. It’s kinda neat that you’re by Yellow Stone, which I would loooovve to visit one day, bc I’m approx about 2 miles from the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I’ve started a business of coasters with river stones and resin. These stones, when you wet them, look like metallic stones. I’ve never seen stones like that anywhere else. I’d love to send you a coaster bc you are part of the reason, and the crystal collector, that I love stones and geology today. I’ll send you some pictures of what I’m doing if I can find a way. Keep doing what you’re doing. I have learned so much and thank you for that.

    So beautiful! Im 12 yrs old and have found 3 fossilized moon snails, 2 fossilized crabs(one has small crystals that have grown in the leg), I have a couple moss stones(fav agate), Some geodes, and recently I have found a atleast 10 pound rock that on 1 side has places where agate has formed and some parts look atleast an inch deep. I found these all at my family's property! I hate buying rocks or getting rocks from people bc i wanna find them myself and have the opportunity to be proud of my finds! Though i do have a GIANT shell(i would say about 7 inches width and from the tail to the front is about 7.) I got it at a garage sail about 3 years ago.
    Oh! I have also found many elk teeth and some coyote skulls. Ok last thing, I have these little worm fossils and are my favorite fossil!
