I'm 75 now and my left thumb is very arthritic from missing the chisel and hitting the thumb many times while mineral collecting. I strongly suggest that you get a chisel with a plastic guard on it to protect your thumb. Nice find, by the way.

I wish I lived someplace where I could find this stuff. I went on a trip to Michigan a few years ago, stayed on a smaller lake for 10 days you couldn't get me out of the water, I kept digging in and finding horn coral, and little bits of unidentifiable beasties, but I was in a zone. I couldn't get enough. XD. I was looking for a Petoskey stone but never found one. Found a clam though. I was possessed.

Blue Opal - a " new kind " of pale sky - blue , a type opal discovered by the white man about 15 years ago, he called it : " Owyhee." Native Americans might have used it, think , but we are not quite sure about that yet. Found near hot springs they say, where they used to hang out. Very spiritual stone. Calming and a soft, just a nice Gentle Energy Flow . A Beautiful stone , and it changes colour ,a bit , when out of the ground to a darker blue shade, they say. A Powerful energy that - can open many Doorways ! Grounding and Unique. Can be used in many ways.

I see you haven’t gotten a response yet so I’ll help. It’s a cryptocrystalline quartz that in this case has inclusions of what look like hematite. It comes from a silicate solutions filling the holes and bugs in rocks and hardening overtime. Material with little inclusions are called chalcedony and if it has lines ar plumes like these its agate. Stuff that doesn’t allow light thru is jasper, but all three are cryptocrystalline quartz.

I am not looking to raid the area, but to travel with my family and collect some good pieces. I have been given some blue opal from Owyhee still encased in the shell of a thunderegg. However, we would love to take a trip to Owyhee to collect some for ourselves. Would you be willing to share some directions to where we might collect some and or some of the material you are showing in this video? Thanks for sharing.

Hahahaha, I saw "Owyhee" and thought you meant Hawai'i (olde English)! Saw the silicates in the thumbnail, and thought "Where the heck did you find agate on a volcanic island?!" Sweet find though, all the agate around here (vein agate anyway) is pink-brown, some vuggy with quartz or calcite (occasionally cacoxenite) crystals inside. Not much in the way of your soft (color), translucent blue. You need a bigger bar to pry them whole boulders out my friend! Then a bigger hammer (I use a 12lb sledge) to crack 'em open in one shot!

Not sure where you live but Glass Buttes in Oregon is a good place to find obsidian. Decent smaller pieces can be found without going too far off the highway. The best dig sites are a bit tougher to get to, though. Also note that Glass Buttes is about 50 miles from the nearest city.

Actually, that stone will have the most value when it is slabbed and then cut into cabochons, so knapping one end of it like that to see the quality of the material inside is normal. Especially when there is so much material. If it were crystalline or some rare formation, he wouldn't be handling it that way of course, but for massive material like that it usually doesn't have nearly as much value as an intact boulder as it does cut into jewelry-sized pieces.
