    Hiya Greg, awesome video and I have had my pants falling down from too many rocks in my pockets. Lol
    Those stones are so beautiful, especially when you polished them, I love all the colors on them. Simply beautiful.
    I hope you have a awesome blessed day.
    Cya! 😺🐟 out!

    I have been watching your videos for couple of years now. I always like to do a little rock hounding whenever l can. Recently l got some pieces of petrified wood from the Yellowstone River in Montana. What do you recommend to apply to these pieces to get the growth rings to stand out? When it's wet it looks beautiful but when it dries everything fades and you can hardly see the wood patterns☹️

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Polishing would help. I have used a rock tumbler to polish rounded petrified wood. I have also used a flat lap to polish slices.

    So the red stone is iron?? I found bowling ball size red stones and quarts stones in the gold rich area prospect. i never knew they were iron related/? thanks for the vid i luv to see what you find. I also suffer from the pockets full of rocks problem>> So i now carry a back pack:0 and my pockets are still full of rocks. hahha

    • @meMiner
      @meMiner  Před 11 měsíci

      If banded iron formation, it is layers of iron oxides and iron poor cherts. So the red doesn't have iron.
