Nick, that was so cool, and make sure Carl knows we all appreciate him sharing his information that has been passed down from is dad.

I have dreamed of hunting Ellensburg blue for ever! And 2023 is the year. I can hardly stand it. Hope to meet Carl!

What a fabulous field trip and visit with Carl. Thank you Nick, and thank you Carl.

Nick, great way to advance our knowledge. You are an example to everyone in stepping up to new information. Thanks so much.

Thank you for sharing with us. Best display of Ellensburg Blue Agates I have seen. Greatly appreciate the privilege of seeing them in detailed photos. Wow.

Thank You, Carl Carlson, & Professor Nick. :)

Whoa! His belt buckle is incredible. I mean Eblue and Gold! Wow! Thanks Nick, for filming this. I am always up for learning more about the blues.

Wow. Need to watch this a few more times. Lots of great info to learn from here. Thanks to Nick and Carl for sharing this with us! The part about the microscopic views really shed some light on how they look the way they do!

Beautiful pictures of the blues. Carl’s pal is a great photographer.

Thanks a lot Nick ❣️🥰❣️

What a character! I think Carl has Nick all figured out. Great presentation by Carl. Kept the ladies busy.

Just a big thank you, what a treat.

Thank you Carl. Thank you Nick.

thanks so much for doing this many cheers from Michigan

I cant imagine what it must be like to make a trip to Carl's mine and actually dig for Ellensburg Blue Agates. Definitely a bucket list item.

I love your talks Nick, but I love these wandering 'round the wilderness chit chattin' with geologist too!

This is a lovely talk by Carl and very informative. Thank you, Nick.

When you see someone as wonderful as this I wish i lived next door to him . fascinating , entertaining and wanting to pass info on to people who are interested for its own sake . Nick you have some wonderful friends. x

I need to make it that way to see his shop. I would buy those photos!!

Incredible specimens. We put out a video on Nevada blue "Agua" agates. Great finds. Thank you for the video.

Thank you for this very interesting trip. Really e joyed listening to this knowledgeable and kind man speak.

Mr. Zentner, you ought to see if you can ever get on the property where Holly Blue is found near Sweet Home Oregon. The logging company has cut off the area to the public. One person to start with is my brother to get some info. He took me there once to dig Holly Blue before the area was shut down. Interesting area.

Fabulous 🎥. Carl Carlson is an amazing speaker. How wonderful to see this 🎥. Thank you! Stay Crystal 💫

Fun video, thank you! Really like when common items are used to tie back into Nicks bigger story and themes! Helps solidify the story and bring it to life in a more understandable way.

That was a lot of fun packed with great info. The stones, your video, and Carl are Treasures. You are the Archivist, an important role.

Sounds like a very cool shop You can learn the stones of the area Very cool

Thank You

Wow, that was amazing! Thank you!

this is wonderful, thank you, nick... my brothers and I, were all fascinante by rocks, when were kids... great memories from rock shows, long ago...

Great video! Thank you for your dedication to education, Nick.

You gotta love that Carl Carlson!

Well, I just added another stop on my trip to Washington next month! Extraordinary!

@@lotharschiese8559 So I've been learning! Nick is a great teacher. I've seen all of his stuff.

Cool! Thank you, Nick and Mr. Carlson! I wonder how many blue agates I stepped on and never recognized out in the field!

Thanks from Denver! I love your videos. Been watching non stop for over a week now.

Awesome! That was really educational and super neat for him to allow you to record and video this. I would just love more of these where you learn about how to look for any particular rock/mineral/gem in the "wild" and how it presents in the raw. Carl is super neat!

``That was an excellent video, Nick. I love Carl, he's a great teacher too.

Very educational and fun experience! I wish I could get the chance to meet such a interesting people. Congrats Nick

Thank you for sharing this video Nick need .

Great vid, Nick! It was a fun day going between the 2 gatherings, and both your presentations were great! Chris

Enjoyed the backstory very much. Richard , Huntington Bach, CA

Very interesting and informative.Thank you.

Thank you

Great video like always. Thanks to Mr Carlson and of course Nick. I'm learning a lot and wish I knew some of this when I was a kid riding motorcycles all over the area. At least I saved some agates and quartz stuff 50 years ago, I need to get them out for a new look. I hope we don't see any more political flags though.

Cabochons have axis orientation for the cut especially opals and fire agate and many other stones, as for labradorite feldspar including moonstones orientation for best cut and cab is necessary for the visual effect you wish to achieve on cabbing the stone for its beauty. Good presentation on your local stone Nick

Beautiful stories

I've always wanted to be a Georgia rock hound

The pictures of the minerals look to me like a reflection that you might see in space through the Hubble

Hi from Australia. I'd like to do a field trip one day... bucket list. 😁👍🇦🇺

I'd love to hear more about its structure. Average crystallite size or is it amorphous silica? Are you aware of any research papers that are freely available? A great read is Studies on Agate by Terry Moxon.

Hmmm... I've found very similar looking blue agate, perhaps slightly darker, east of Medford, Oregon. But it was out of hydrothermal tubes passing through basalt.

I too found similar blue agate in Spray, OR. Also chert pieces, rainbow colors at a place where Indians supposedly made arrows.

Very interesting. Love the local flavors.

Beautiful stones…nice piece of knowledge from a some one sure of his Subject from a life time of work…cool nick 😊 thanks

Thanks again for this video.

You are the best Geology professor

Is the real treasure the agate or Carl and his lifelong passion?

Another great segment, thanks Nick. As it happens we were driving over Swauk pass that morning on the way from southern Utah to Everett. Saw the signs for the miners meeting and stopped by, but missed Carl’s presentation. One question I had looking at the crystals in the magnifications, is it the hexagonal Quarz or the monocline form (moganite) of SiO2?

My late wife found a blue agate on the beach in Port Orford Or. Long way from Liberty..

And what about the 'Ocean Picture Stone' Dan Hurd is finding up in BC? It's got the same colors. It's brecciated. I'd like to hear the story on that some day.

In the works, along with some non fossilized mineral speciums. Fossilized speciums requires both Federal and Provincial permits. 1 to 2 years.Also sending Nick another book .This one by Dale Leckie, The Scenic Geology Of Alberta. His latest book (June 2021 ) was recommended to us and is featured in our Fly Fishing site! Many of our River's in Alberta cut through some awesome places. Geology and Geography abounds floating down Alberta 's River's it is great for Sole and Mind. People like Nick Zendner, Dale Leckie and Ben Gadd must be named as respected National Treasures.

Thank you.

Excellent stuff indeed. UK.

I don't understand the time sequence between when the volcanic eruption happens originally, and when the hot material that eventually forms into agates happens--- does it make no difference? Can it be millions of years, or is this a function of the later cooling process?

Since Elly's contain zircons can you use zircon magnetics as to find out generally where this came from, and since zircons are aligned and have poles could that alter the flow of liquid sort of like a ferrofluid

It's too bad this isn't at night and you could some of the samples under a black light. Same goes for seeing scorpions at night.

But what state is he in? I have found the most extreme pretty hunting s.e. tenn. But I live in Ohio...

You gained many followers recently when your video about Ancient Plants in Washington was discovered by our Facebook Plant Club. But now a new issue has arisen : Would love to see your take on the Space Com report about the "Mystery of Grand Canyon's missing rocks". How did the evidence of the breakup of Rodinia effect Washington State?

I want to be the first to comment. Thank you Professor Zentner.

I believe it’s Carlson Brothers Jewelry in Tacoma, Washington.

I wonder if Mike Eddy or Erin could date the injections?It strikes me as a fault related event maybe a last gasp ,itd be interesting to know the differences in ages...

The cave dude in me wants to know if those agates fracture conchoidally and flake easy after heat treatment.

Mr Carlson still here?

What shop is this guy talking about?
