Rock and Mineral Identification

A study guide made for the students of Fleming College in Lindsay Ontario Canada and anybody else who might find it useful. If you like this video check out my channel for a full feature video of a limestone rock quarry, how it operates, and how it is being rehabilitated.

    Hello everybody, it's been a long time since I have posted on this channel. I am now professionally trained and ready to take Study Buddy Studios to the next level... to The Digiverse! I can create highly interactive virtual classrooms for various subjects that play like video games and can connect teachers with students through video confrence calls within the virtual classroom. I am looking for a Canadian university or college to sponsor me to make this happen and I need your help. Please watch my newest upload to this channel, share and leave a comment. Cheers. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gmin0aSJpanTctI.html

    As a native North Georgian (aka Appalachian American) I hope you have found life good here. A word of caution, if I may. Keeping Pet Rocks has been a popular idea for a number of years. These are truly wild and not meant to be kept as pets. One minute docile and aggressive the next. They can be very protective of humans they are familiar with. I, too, once thought this was a good idea until my Pet Rock, Krystal, attacked my neighbor right between the eyes during an emotional discussion about property lines. Krystal had to be released into a wilderness area. Welcome to North Georgia.

    I always remember that the difference between limestone and dolostone from a geographers perspective is that the dolostone is like a sponge to water, limestone has a tight interlocking crystal structure and water penetrates along joints and bedding planes. The marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolostone - interesting video, thanks

    If a young person has both a high level of academic ability, along with a desire to work in a physically demanding job with some real cool people, then geology may be for you. The need for field analysis never ends. You need discipline, courage, and a vast knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, mining technology, safety training, and a huge amount of common sense. Geology, is not for the faint of heart, you'll never last. Better stick to the lab. We should all get down on our knees and thank geologists, for their hard work, because most of what we touch every day wouldn't exist without their work.

    When you say "structure,Massive" what exactly does that mean?

    You said that quartz has concoidial fracture. I thought that was the smooth curves seen in flint and obsidian in the angle and appearance of a hole in glass made by a BB. Not trying to sound smarty, I'd really like to know. Thanks for the excellent video.

    Love this video! I don't have much knowledge about geology but i am interested in it more and more. A few years ago i was lucky to work in Labrador. On a hike, i found some Labradorite, which i was able to bring a specimen the size of half a fist. I was also able to get a sample specimen of Nickel from the mine where I worked. I've had an interest in geology and gem cutting since. Videos such as yours here keeps my interest on the subject. Does anyone have any inside knowledge on the industry? Is a career in geology worth it? Are there lots of job openings or is it a sector with low employment prospects? What type of work does one usually end up doing as a geologist?

    Just a tip: try and get your information from reliable sources. There are quite a few inaccuracies in this video. As for your question geology is generally a good field to go into, depending where you live. In many parts of the world most end up working in the minerals industry, either for private mining companies, or for resource management for the government. Many others work in construction or urban planning, or as consultants for this. Some work in natural resource management and environmental management. Some will stay on as academics. Some work in mapping areas, often doing consultancy work. Those are the main fields from my knowledge.

Still looking to identify this unusual rock. If anyone can help me I would be most appreciative. Thanks I have subscribed and look forward to watching more

    Scott Laursen Just a bit of info on that particular subject - he put each item on a piece of paper and then slowly rotated the sheet by hand. I'm not trying to be a smart-ass, I'm simply guessing that you're young and/or didn't notice his fingers turning the paper - which is visible fairly often at the top corners of the screen. Also, on the chance that YOU are older and were being a smart-ass with YOUR comment ... Well damn! I guess you got me! Lol! 😁. Either way, have a good day darlin'😉!

    I like that too. It helped me get a better look at the thing (so I could have a better idea of what it actually looks like). Often times with lights and cameras the best shots are taken at certain angles.
