Very nice package, amazing what comes out of S.D. Thanks for sharing…!
Wow such amazing pieces. I love the light purple one towards the end, can't remember what you called it. Purple is my favorite color. They are all amazing.
Great pieces! That person either has a tons of material or you inherited someone’s collection. What a great gift!
Wow!!! What a box of goodies! I wonder if the Tee Pee canyon agates are related to the Union Road agates in St. Louis… They sure look like they formed in a similar way in chert. I dunno… Obviously I need more of both in my collection! LOL
10:56 looks like a peach aventurine 17:29 a pyrite pseudomorph? 22:01 break out the UV!😆. Check out all the gypsums! Might get some phosphorescence. Yay! More projects for Kyle lol! Gonna need a cloning machine.😂.
Wow! What a great bunch of goodies! So many really cool rocks! And just tons! lol! And the teepee canyon pieces are amazing! The conglomerate piece is super cool. Everything in that box is amazing! and then there is the tin! Which has a bunch of amazing things in it, and Gold! But the other specimen pieces are just amazing. That gypsum crystal piece is amazing. And the mica books! and all those prairie agates are beautiful. So special! Everything is just so amazing! Those gypsum crystals are just amazing! That is just a lot of specimens and amazing goodies! i honestly couldnt pick a favorite. There were so many really cool thing in there! The gypsum crystals were really cool though. And those small cubes might be limonite after pyrite? That would be my guess anyways. Thanks for showing us all of those amazing rocks! They were some just really cool specimen pieces and just different, cool rocks! Thanks Kyle!
Holy smokes, what a great gift! Looks like was part of someone's collection? Very nice generous gift.
What a great gift! That person had some amazing pieces there. Can’t wait to see what you do with them!
That piece at 6:03 reminds me of an old Japanese painting with cherry blossom 🌸 tree vines around the edges. Very cool pieces. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 🐻❄️
I am glad you liked the rocks. I try to send rocks that rockhounds do not have so they can have a variety in their collection. It is nice to have rocks from different places that you may not have a chance to hound. Almost everything here, I have found myself. over the years. I know that I will never get out your way to collect. Thanks for sharing.
Petrified bar of soap on the first mystery specimen 😅 Kidding. Great box of goodies!!
Amazing package! Very generous ❤ thanks for sharing. Hard to pick a favorite but probably one of the Tee Pee Canyon pieces. Everything was beautiful and loved the gypsum spire at the end.
You really scored. What great friends. Happy new year! 😷⚒
Great box of goodies you received there. That one broken piece (geode?), you mentioned that itr could be easily glued back. I think a future video explaining the do's and don'ts of gluing together crystals/rocks, would make for a worthy episode. There are lots of things that can go wrong with a bad adhesive-job… AnyWay.. Stay warm and healthy!
I think you saved the best for last! That final Gypsum Natural Spiral Tower was AWESOME!
