I’ve only been rockhounding for a year so I don’t know a lot of agate variety names, but I’m not about to let that stop me from showing off my finds 😂 The important thing is that they’re pretty and I love them and I have a lot so expect the agate cinematic universe to expand.

Last year I visited the limestone quarry at Geomuseum Faxe in Denmark. Couldn’t resist the chance to take home my own samples of the oldest cold-water coral remains in the world, and beautiful flint that’s been used by humans to make tools for millennia.

I’ve gotten real partial to hounding in the rain. The mud is soft, new treasures are rolling in the runoff creeks, and every rock on the beach is shining in its true colors. Plus if you’re a shy rock goblin like me, you’re usually by yourself in this weather. 😂🌧️

found this in some low tide mud in Whatcom County WA like a year ago and still can’t settle on her name! obvs I want it to be jade which is not impossible but I just have no idea. green shade is close to aventurine too. really goddamn beautiful

Some of the best highlights of my Frenchman Coulee finds in east WA! Agate, druzy, chert, chalcedony…red guys are still a mystery. I love the little demon head agate 😂 they’re so different from my usual finds in western WA. I’m lucky I found so many beauties in less than an hour of hunting.

here’s the new additions I picked up during my road trip adventure!
- Lion skin jasper
- Cobra jasper
- Tibetan turquoise
- Tektite, China

Man I’m so glad I took the chance to dig in the creek mud, I didn’t think I’d find anything this beautiful

That’s awesome!! I’ve never found chert this color, it’s so beautiful

Oooh that would be amazing! I didn’t even consider it as wood with that color

I found this beauty in a dusty debris pile at Frenchman Coulee. been looking at my books for days while I cleaned her up and can’t figure her out. color says agate but I haven’t seen agate cleave like that, or shine that bright while dry; I was told no obsidian is in the area. love her regardless!

a small but mighty beautiful mudstone— I think I spot some lil crystals in those waves

A large square-ish shaped piece of raw pink quartz lays on a bed of greenery. #rocks #rockhound #quartz #pink #pinkquartz #trail #trailrunning #pnw #woods #forest #quartzite #rocktumbling #crystals #rawquartz

you know when you’re on a trail run and you see a giant piece of pink quartz in the ground so you stop to dig it up and now you’re running with a 1lb rock through the woods? yeah me neither dude!! I’m very normal!

This is very helpful thank you!! I’m only about a year into hounding still learning a lot, especially how fluid the “agate” category is

Small egg-shaped rock, beach polished. The rock is grey semi-translucent with streaks of red, gold, and white

not sure if this is a quartz or crosses into agate territory but dang what a fireworks show. found as-is on the beach.

Thank you!! Can’t wait to take some good pics when they’re cleaner

A pile of about 50 rocks of varying sizes, types, and colors on a black towel. #rocks #rockhound #washington #pnw #columbiariver #desert #waterfalls #agates #jasper #basalt #crystals

me on Wednesday: well I’m still learning and it’s a new hunting environment so I’ll prob find one or two things on this lil trip

me on Friday:

You are not alone there!

sometimes you gotta take a spontaneous trip to eastern Washington and see what gifts the Columbia River has brought to shore for you 🙏🏻

Wow! How does that shape get created?

I barely survived this terrifying wildlife encounter!! rockhounding is not for the weak

An oval shaped rock, half is a green and white speckled texture, and the other half is vertical stripes of various shades of green.

this one is ART. a true stunner! thinking it’s a form of phyllite

met another treasure hunter on the beach 🧡

Photo of a chunk of sedimentary rock, possibly crinoidal or bryozoan limestone, resting on greenery. The rock is slightly elliptical with a splintered, cratered brown-yellow surface.

another little mystery— is this crinoidal or bryozoan limestone? (or something totally different lol) found as-is on the beach, so far haven’t found anything else like it

A beach-tumbled orange agate with dark bands sitting on greenery

beautiful beach-tumbled agate that my pal compared to Saturn and I have to agree 🪐

The red is so brilliant! Such a special looking stone

Oh man maybe?? I’ve found some other bone but none like this and I’m so new at the hobby. Here’s some other angles of it. If it’s bone I will die of happiness 😂
