BLUE Rocks take your breath away when you find them, they are mind blowing! I am not even kidding- this is an Outstanding rockhounding adventure! Come along with myself and my friend Ryker and Casen as we explore the spring gravels of the Yellowstone River before the massive 2024 spring snow melt season begins.

Looking to learn about Yellowstone River agates? This is a publication from 1972 by a man named Paul Fry. This was the very first literature I read when I was learning about Montana agates. It is called "Meanderings of a Montana Rockhound" and it is priceless:

Here is another page with great information on Montana Agates by Jim Landon called "Montana Agate: The Best Catch on the Yellowstone River" :

    I was wondering if the petrified wood with blue running through it could be opal? Montana does have Opals. Beautiful rocks in your state!! Some of the prettiest I have seen in a while.
