Finds from the Baton Rouge, La area with @jbh124.bsky.social after one week in coarse grit. The first one with the crystal orangish bots is a mystery to me but the second one is a nice little Crowley Ridge agate. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures #agate
Not bad for parking lot finds in Baton Rouge, LA. @jbh124.bsky.social did some fine picking! Her rockhound eye was on! No time for real hunting this work trip. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rockhound #rockhounds #rockhoundingadventures
South Texas find by one of my coworkers whilst we were doing a little hounding in the heat. This is a beaut! Love the colors. I think jasper with quartz veins. #bluewizardrocks #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures #rgv #lapidary
Some Louisiana finds today in the Amite area. Mostly river gravel and bleached Crowley agate pieces. All good for the tumbler! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures #rocktumbling
Rio Grande gravel find in south Texas that I took an end cut off of and tossed in the tumbler to clean it up. I think the cabs out of this material will look awesome! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #cabochon #cabochons #rockhound #rockhounds #rockhoundingadventures #jasper #rgv
Nicest find from my trip to south Texas last week. #bluewizardrocks #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures #rocksoftiktok #agate #agates #lapidary
South Texas jasper found yesterday when I had a little bit of time to rockhound. It was so hot my phone was overheating but we picked up some agates, jasper and chert to bring home. Can’t wait to cut this guy. #bluewizardrocks #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures #rgv #lapidary
They have the most beautiful rhyolite here on the Baja peninsula. So many colors and even different forms. I think some of this is known as wonderstone, but I call them Picasso Stones. #rockhound #rockhoundingadventures #geology
Big flame stitch agate that looks like a shirt from the 1970’s.
Agate with reds and grays and whites
Translucent peach and purple red agate with green rind
Deep red agate with blue waterline in a ‘flame stitch’ pattern
Agates. So. Many. Agates. #agates #rockhound #rockhoundingadventures #rockhounding
“Wait! Could those be rhyolite spires over there? I need to go to that little beach next to them. “ It did not disappoint. Volcanic breccia held in an agate matrix? Yes, please. #rockhounds #rockhoundingadventures #volcanics
I love beautiful PNW Moss! Please share some Moss Agate!

I love how this south Texas find came out, one side looks jaspery and the other side is translucent. I also like the red streaks. It took a great polish. #bluewizardrocks #agate #jasper #chalcedony #rgv #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures
Cleaning some crystal finds from Arkansas. Some of these guys are going back into iron out for another night. They clay is intense! #bluewizardrocks #crystals #crystal #crystaltok #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures
Pretty little thing…Before/After. Self collected in south Texas. #bluewizardrocks #agate #agates #lapidary #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures #rgv

Came back from our Chihuahua trip with a full heart, backpacks full of specimens, and a whopping case of covid. Note: train porters do not understand the rock collector and her heavy bags, which she does not want them touching. #rockhound #rockhoundingadventures
I bet this little guy could pass as a Lake Superior Agate but I found him several years back on a hillside road cut south of Freer, TX. Small but mighty! #bluewizardrocks #agate #agates #lapidary #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures
Yellow and white agate

So sad to be leaving this beautiful place today. I could stay a lot longer. Here are a few specimens coming home with me. Chihuahua region of Mexico #rockhounds #rockhoundingadventures #agate #chalcedony #lapidary
Guy, how do you handle it when you are visiting a place and there are too many beautiful rocks? I am needing another bag. But no stores anywhere near here. This problem will be solved. #rockhound #rockhoundingadventures #agate
I think this one will be gorgeous after some clean up and polishing. It is bluish/green underneath the crust covering it. Found in south Texas west of La Joya. #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhoundingadventures #agate #agates #rgv
Just had to post this beautiful rock found in the tide pools near Mazatlan. Just gorgeous colors, all pinks, blues,greens. Weighed about 25 pounds so it’s still there. And a mushroom pink sandstone. #rockhound #geology #rockhoundingadventures
Best guess is banded rhyolite with veins of agate. Iron staining on the outside prevents seeing its true colors but based on other material i think it would be grey and red. I left this one but it was fun finding it. #rockhound #rockhoundingadventures #volcanics
More from the Mazatlan area. I am trying to get better about choosing the best ones. It’s hard. So many agates on one of the beaches. Beautiful banded rhyolite on another #geoogy #rockhound #rockhoundingadventures #agate #volcanics #sailing
I’ve been focused on rock collecting the beaches around Mazatlan. Holy toledo! I can post only four photos but there is always tomorrow. And the next day. #rockhounding #rockhounds #agates #volcanics #sailing #rockhoundingadventures
rhyolite in grey with accents of pink, red, and cream
Rhyolite, how do you make your coats of many colors? You are explosive in design and sport the colors of Mexico shamelessly. Rhyolites of Mazatlan. Impossible to love just one. #Rockhound #rockhoundingadventures #sailing #lapidary #volcanics Rhy
Oh, Olivine. I love how you wink up at me from the depths of your deep grey cloak of basalt. Your apple green sparkles hit me right in the feels. #rockhound #rockhoundingadventures #volcanics #geology
Why don’t rocks look as sparkly on video as they do when you find them? I read that there are olivine phenocrysts here and it was no lie. I’ll try to get a better photo of these green crystals. #rockhounds #volcanics #rockhoundingadventures #geology #volcano #basalt
More volcanic island stuff. This is a favorite place. All pokey scoria, tuff, and hardened lava flows. And birds. #geology #volcanoes #rockhoundingadventures #rockhounds
My daily dose of grounding through rocks. This volcanic island was featured in a Jacques Cousteau special in the 1970’s. Isla Isabel. #volcanic #geology #rockhounds #rockhoundingadventures
These granite boulders emerging from more granite, though! Like huge eggs. Remnants of basalt and some patchy sandstone. #geology #rockhoundingadventures #rockhound
