- This was a really enjoyable hike and visit to this location, but as is the case so many times, it's going to take more than one visit to this site for me to find exactly what it is that I'm searching for, which is andesine crystals.
I can't wait to make a return visit now that I know more about what I should expect.

I think anthophyllite is good. ‘Found a photo that looks like your rock. Jeramyjames is da man!
Sarah's low key, chill personality is really nice. I appreciate her quiet nature and her contributions on your guys adventures. Rachelle, Australia
The holes in the trees are definitely from Woodpeckers! Most likely Pileated Woodpecker’s imo 🙂
The holes in the tree are from woodpeckers.
Pileated woodpecker, specifically.
I didn't know a bird could make such a giant hole in a tree.
That mystery specimen is very interesting!
Thank you! :)
Definitely woodpecker activity. In our area it is the pileated that does that to the trees. Quite the uphill climb. Lika is not to excited about the climb. Gorgeous views.
I’d be thinking about bears…lol. Pretty view. Thanks.
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah!
Another great adventure. We have gone to a couple places where we were going in blind. I'm fact that was the case on our last trip. Always makes a great adventure. You never know what you will find.
Thanks for another great video.
Wow! I read through everyones comments and there are quite a few guesses on your mystery rock! I admir, i have not a clue what that is or could be but it is really interesting and the way in carches the light and shines, its rather pretty! I am looking forward to what you come up with! And likewise with your tree holes, but it aeems that the consesus is woodpecker, although they cant agree on a kind. But i would have to go with woodpecker then! I do know they are very destructive. We had a breeding pair build a nest in one of the trees in our front yard, and when they come back and lay eggs, those baby bird are so loud and quite obnoxious and i cant wait until the het are able to o fly! But the woodpecker actually killed the branches around its nest then burrowed in to the center of the tree, to build its nest. And as obnoxious as those birds are, everybodtvwaljing by will stop and walk all the way around the tree, looking for a nest, byt you cant see the nest or the opening from the ground! Smart birds! That looked like a hell of a hike, and im glad it wasnt me! But beautiful! Thanks jared!
I'd bet that the mystery rock was kyanite. We made a trip a few years ago in that general area on the Idaho side - Cour d'Alene, and went to location that had big garnets (big, but low quality) and also good blue kyanite. Good, not great.
Also, the green plant? I hear it commonly called horse mint here in Northern Utah. It's everywhere up in the mountains!
Those holes in the trees couple have been made by the red hooded wood peckers. They do some good damage to trees for bugs.
Always an Amazing Adventure .. Cool!
The mystery piece has such a strange luster to it for how it's shaped. Reminds me of the glistening you get with satin spar, but too bizarre of a shape for an evaporite I think. Good adventure!
That crystal looks like weathered anthophyllite, which would fit around plagioclase and garnet. I thought it was tremolite at first, it looks so similar. Pretty cool spot there!
The tree thing is from the red headed ivory billed woodpecker actually it's the beek that leaves the wood debris looking like a tiny hatchet marks.
That tree was infested with bugs and woodpeckers got them out. Love your vids thanks for the continuous edutainment
Thank you! :)
The mystry rock looks like kyanite on my tiny little screen. A beautiful place. Keep having fun.
I agree kayinite
Kyanite would be towards the blue, I’m thinking tremolite.
That plant was a mint, square stem, opposite and alternating leaves. There are thousands of members of the mint family, only a few are aromatic. Once you learn to recognize them they're everywhere.
The place where the crystals were found might be a small area the size of a bathtub, and covered with pine needles. I agree, you were in the right area. This locality is practically my backyard. Have to get up there sometime. Thanks for sharing the locality.
Definitely woodpeckers. Most likely a pileated woodpecker. Only bird large enough to make such holes. Although I'm an east coast (NH) rockhound with lots of granite.
The mystery piece reminds me a bit of kyanite..
Well thanks for making that hike for us! I climbed Beacon Rock a couple weeks ago and realized just how out of shape I've gotten. Seeing your mystery rock shimmer the first time reminded me of some bismuth crystal figurines my wife has, with out the intense color. I have no clue what it could be though, nice size and shape.
Thats a bear looking for bugs to eat on that tree.
It was Spearmint.
Great adventure👍👍
I'm not a Geologist, but the shiny grey piece liikwdnlike a mica fossil of bone or wood.
Great video! Thanks for sharing with us. I do love my paleo pick but it is a little heavy and longer. I’ve been looking at getting their burpee pick. It’s a great middle ground pick. Lighter and shorter.
I have wanted a burpee pick forever! They seem hard to come by.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding They were out of stock for almost a year. They are available again!
I agree we there is a great northern woodpeckers, don’t know if they are in that area. Thanks for the video
Some thing was burrowing in that tree probably for grubs or some sort of bug
Actinolite!!
You have an awesome brave dog! Wow what a view!!! Yeah I don't know what that one is either and I won't even guess lol. Cool looking though
That last one is similar to stibnite. However if so, it's a low quality one. But maybe.
There's also a mill creek everywhere
I think Washington has like 20 Mill Creeks.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding there's one not 20 miles from the house . Lots of great locations off Ocean Beach Hwy you guys should check out .
Northern Flicker must have found a tree full of tasty bugs. Seems like Washington has a lot of hiking to the rock spots😅I was spoiled in Oregon. A pretty cool spot though.
The mystery rock, could it be schist? I have a piece with similar texture and luster but with different colors. Mine was found in VA.
Bladed barite perhaps?
Woodpecker.
Tremolite?
That was my first impression.
slickenside?
That is not something I even considered as an option here but I will have to go back and re look at it now. Thank you.
