It's blue
With my low quality thundereggs I slabbed them up and made them into drink coasters lol.
Where abouts in NE Washington are you?
Cool hunting spot. Nice finds. I'm terrible with shades of colors but I'd say blue...ish
Bkack Canada opal. Crock wwith sugar and
I think the leather has a slightly better polish. The carpet has a slight haze that is almost unnoticeable until the 3000 was shown with the window light at the end. Thats just what I noticed seeing it through a screen.
Roger had his Mud Fossils DNA Tested and they came back Legit! Your Offering to take Mud Fossils to People who Paid to learn Corporate Indoctrination who are now in debt & Have to repeat Corporate Indoctrination to keep Their Pay Check. Get a DNA Test not a Opinion if Ypu want to do real Research!
Sir, you have been sold some snake oil. Did he show the results? No, he didn't. Do you believe everything someone says on the internet?
11:52 #5, it has a slight purple when you cut and polished it. (Sarah is correct blue) the fossils are cool. defiantly a shell fish.
This guy has to be the most informative youtuber on the hobby. Really excellent content, classroom grade instruction. Tons of respect for dudes like this.
Hope many people understand the work that goes into making quality content.
Thank you very much.
Love to see you all enjoying hounding for blue agate! Or grayish lol. Utah has some wonderful agate, and having a stream to wash them in is the best! 👏
I would call it blue
Vikings used it to navigate the fog.
That looks great 👍 I found here in Finland old Raytech a-6” lapidary machine. Do you know anything about these Machines? Is that worth to buy and make it running again? It doesnt have motor, but thats not problem. Not found much information on internet bout raytech machines…Thanks for the video👍
Edit. A-6 looks much like GL-2 and that i found manual on your website 👍
I say buy it!
A nice looking slice, whatever color it is.
Definitely blue, at least with humans' track record of naming colored things that aren't accurate. Black cherry, blood orange, red beans, white chocolate... The tindall effect is cool though. A blue only in an unaltered state👍
It’s blue. I think the rosy piece is interesting…very pretty. Obviously, Leica sensed something else out there. Bear? Mountain lion? It’s good that you are a group and make noise. I kinda hope you carry bear spray, cuz I like your videos, lol. I do hope you go back, and do what you did, here, …stack rocks to pick up on the way out. Thanks to you both.
She alerts on everything. Most likely a bird
I have asked a question regarding this topic on your newest video. I still find it somewhat muddy waters but I suppose colloquial names come into play making it really hard to draw lines on what's what.
Yes good video wanting to learn ftat lap I teach on 8in drums. I have 2 used flat laps
If you hit the riverbeds leading up to brian head I've found yellow mossy agates down lower and the typical brian head agate the closer you get to the top. You got some good stuff too I'll have to check out fiddlers canyon thanks for the video! I know some good spots to find blue agate near Veyo Utah as well (45 minutes from cedar)
Honestly, same. Whenever I find a blue looking agate, I have exactly the same thought process as you here - it's not actually blue, it's just the light being refracted to make it look blue. And yeah, what Sarah said is true as well, of course - that's how all color comes to be. But what differentiates this from most other color is that it changes depending on the thickness, angle, light intensity etc. while most others are more stable in that regard. Calling these agates blue is like calling (Skim) milk blue. The lower the fat content, the more you'll see this effect as well but nobody would call milk blue.
White edges, purple ish, and blueish. Still a very nice agate. The pastel agate was the best. Oohhh fossils too.
What watts is the 365nm torch?
These lights are not meaused in watts.
Almost to 50k!
Little by little!
I thought they looked beautiful! I slab up this kind very thin and break them. I then use them in my mosiac art. So much you can do with them.
Love the blue(gray or whateverthat color is). Anything with blue is gorgeous ❤❤👋🇫🇮
Another great video!!! The polish looks great. I think it was grayish blue. #5 or #6! Nicely done!
Taking the whole video into account from start to finish, one of your best IMO, having been following you for at least a couple years now. Having dabbled in graphic design, one of my fascinations has been studying color and determining true color identity. What I do is use photoshop, particularly with the eye dropper tool and analyze the hue, playing around with saturation levels. Assuming you can get the color balance correct, you can, at least to a moderately satisfactory degree, confirm the specific location on the hue spectrum to ascertain the “the true color nature”. Anyways FWIW. Cheers. Thx for your great content.
It looks blue to me. There are many shades and hues of blue.
Thank you
Have you ever seen the Blue Agaet that comes out of Ellensburg Wa.? It really looks Blue. Oooops Agate, lol my bad.
5 looks close to me
Awesome place to go! Too bad I'm on the East Coast!🤣 My wife and I think your polished piece looked purple on the top part and blue on the bottom! I'm watching on a Samsung tablet! Thanks for sharing!
Love your work! My father was a big time rock hound. He self-collected and purchased from Brazilian miners things of interest and beauty but never high value.
Nice area, nice fines…I vote grue or blay.
What a beautiful area to find some really cool agates!!! Great adventure!!
Not a strong blue, but it's still blue in my eyes. Yes. I do know what you mean about the blue-gray in some so-called blue agate. .
If you want to know the exact color, the big box hardware stores have color sensors for matching paint. You can get the RGB value and the shade color. At most, it will cost you the price of a small can of paint.
Lots of Montana agate have the Tindall affect as whole agates and become clear when slabed.
I'd call it a light shade of blue leaning towards mixed with gray. Nature has a way of often refusing to be put in the boxes that man creates. Pretty stuff no matter what you want to call it.
Leaning towards blue but understand what your saying. Nice area. Thanks for the videos.
That has a pretty gray blue color. Nice finds! Looks like it was fun to go there and check stuff out. Thankyou for going there and exploring . 😊
I agree with Sara, I think it's blue.
Definitely a grey blue… especially when compared to something that is true blue.
My opinion is it looks very similar to some Arizona pastiolite ..if that's how u spell it but my opinion doesn't really matter anyways lol... Definitely some sort of calcium infill and some iron and probably a few other trace things... All in all decent looking stuff for lapidary ... and the polish was A- not B+ heh heh...good show I enjoyed it.
Chalcedony blue 💙💙💙
