I love this group of rock and gem lovers. So very generous. Merry Christmas Kyle to you and your family. Looking forward to what you do in the next year,
That ammonite was so cool. I wish you and all the rockhound crafters, jewelers and collectors and their partners for putting up with them to bring such great content to all of us viewers a Very Merry Christmas and a healthy safe holiday
That Ammonite piece is glorious! And Opals too? Such a cool package of goodies Kyle. May you and your family be blessed during these Holidays with Love and Laughter!
Wow! Iβve not seen an ammonite with the sutures like that at the end. That was cool! Hope to see an opal polishing vid soon lol! Merry Christmas to you and your family Kyle and a happy New Year!
You my friend are a hard one to get for! That ammonite was just different enough, i thought you probably wouldnt have one like that. it was a different species than most i have seen. And i know how picky you are about you pieces in your collection. You know me, if it has to do with fossils, lisa is all over it! Besides, ammonites are cool. And everyone needs a giant trilobite bug in their lives! lol. Thats my philosophy. The missuri drusy is because haunted ridge is the coolest place ever! and the opals are from lightning ridge. They are a low grade opal and they do have a lot of fractures in them and many are just common opal, but there are many that contain color and even just to put them in a bowl of water, that color is gorgeous and i got the opals from kate from katydid. I hope you like them and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, from my house, to yours!
π – HOT GIRLS FOR YOU! π₯β€xπ₯°
Kyle, do you know anyone in town that makes hand dredges from pvc pipe for gold prospecting?
Santa??!! I know him!!!!!!
I loved the Ammonite. That was a really nice Ammonite to. What a great package, all of the items were great. Thanks for sharing.
How does one polish an amonite such as you received <s>?
That first one was super cool
Yessir! Iβm at work right now for a bonus shiftβ¦ Itβs freaking happening this spring! Good news! Insurance company DID actually cover some of my well repair bill so that REALLY helps. Iβm getting a wet angle grinder and pads for sure!
Wonderful gifts from everyone's favorite rockhounding lady….I would even call her a Christmas angel π That ammonite was over the top! Not seen one quite as amazing with so much intricate detail before. Merry Christmas, Kyle ππ π βοΈ π
You need to check the ammonite with a short and long wave black light. You might be surprised of what comes out?
Awesome video!
So fun, I just got a specimen like the quartz crystals on agate at my rockhounding groupβs Christmas party. Never seen it before and now twice. The fossils are cool too. Thanks, merry Christmas
That ammonite is amazing. The sutures are wild. Lisa truly is a generous person. Thanks for sharing Mild Kyle. Merry Christmas Kyle to you and wifey and River and your family. Enjoy the season.
Nice!
Lisa is so awesome! I love how age knew what you would like but also knew to send something you could polish too. She's the best! Can't wait to see you polish up some of that gorgeous opal Kyle. Thanks for sharing!βοΈπ€ π€ I hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas and an amazing New Year!ππππ πβ¨οΈππ
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Awesome amonite! Thanks for sharing!
Lisa was great! Have a very merry to you and all of your family and friends. π΅π΄π²π·β
