Episode 11: Stunning Petrified Wood from Holbrook, Arizona (DoBell Ranch)
We visit the famous DoBell Ranch southeast of Holbrook, Arizona (just outside of the Petrified Forest National Park) to collect stunning pieces of petrified wood, including the much sought-after rainbow petrified wood. The DoBell Ranch is one of the oldest rockhounding dig sites in the USA, having been opened in 1936 by Francis DoBell. DoBell Ranch, which is located adjacent to the Petrified Forest National Park, provides a legal way to collect Arizona petrified wood for a small fee.

When using Muriatic Acid to clean your fossils, be sure to wear gloves and eye protection, and avoid breathing the fumes. Always add acid to water, and never add water to acid, and always do your cleaning OUTDOORS. To neutralize your acid bath, use generous amounts of baking soda (until the solution stops fizzing), and then allow at least a few more hours. Once neutralized, pour out the old solution, and then soak your fossils (petrified wood) in fresh water and allow to soak for a few more hours, overnight is best. Never clean fossils containing calcium in Muriatic Acid, as the strong acid will attack your fossil. Use weaker acids, such as Vinegar to clean calcium-based fossils (most fossils in limestone). Only use Muriatic Acid on silica-based fossils, since the Hydrochloric Acid cannot dissolve the silica.

Petrified Forest National Park (Arizona)
Petrified Forest National Park is an American national park in Navajo and Apache counties in northeastern Arizona. Named for its large deposits of petrified wood, the fee area of the park covers about 230 square miles (600 square kilometers), encompassing semi-desert shrub steppe as well as highly eroded and colorful badlands. The park's headquarters is about 26 miles (42 km) east of Holbrook along Interstate 40 (I-40), which parallels the BNSF Railway's Southern Transcon, the Puerco River, and historic U.S. Route 66, all crossing the park roughly east–west. The site, the northern part of which extends into the Painted Desert, was declared a national monument in 1906 and a national park in 1962. The park received 627,757 recreational visitors in 2017. Typical visitor activities include sightseeing, photography, hiking, and backpacking.

The Petrified Forest in AZ
The giant tree trunks that you see are prehistoric and lived in an area just east of Holbrook, Arizona. The 'Petrified Forest' was flourishing with plant life and provided food for dinosaurs during the Mesozoic Period (250 million years ago). The giant tree remnants have become crystallized or petrified and are now completely stone. The Petrified Forest is a beautiful fascination of our planet that everyone should see.

Petrified Forest National Park rangers pile up cursed wood
Tourists come from all over to the Petrified Forest National Park for the opportunity to see Petrified wood up close. Many tourists have taken that opportunity too far by removing the wood from the park only to mail it back with apology letters after determining that it is cursed. Johnny Ortiz reports.
Paul's Club moves petrified oak tree
Paul's Club, a mainstay on State Street in downtown Madison, is moving,
and as part of the move it's relocating the 1,800 pound petrified oak
tree that has been inside the bar for 60 years. The bar is moving two
doors down to the old Jack's Shoes location on State Street.

THIS WAS THE TURNING POINT OF THE TRIP // PETRIFIED FOREST ARIZONA
VIDEO #137 // PETRIFIED FOREST NATIONAL PARK, ARIZONA // Alright, look... I try to keep a completely positive outlook on my YouTube channel and try to keep the vibes good... But at this point in my journey on the road, I became tired, weary and extremely annoyed that I was out in the middle of nowhere seeing a park that I wasn't that enthusiastic about. Everybody can have an off day right? Don't worry, I won't continue to have negative vibe videos cause ain't nobody got time for that! I was just kindof checking out of my trip at this point and there was nobody to share the burden with!

Episode 10: Rock Swap Report - 21st Annual Missouri Mines Rock Swap
We travel to Park Hills, Missouri to visit the 21st Annual Missouri Mines Rock Swap on June 8, 2018.
We interview several rock and gem dealers from across the nation in what has been called one of the last true rock, mineral, and fossil shows in America.
We also visit with Art Hebrank, Site Administrator or the Missouri Mines State Historic Site, to get his perspective on this incredible meeting of rockhounds and mining enthusiasts.

Amazing Tales of Geology - Episode 1: The Discovery of the Million Dollar Pocket
Amazing Tales of Geology - Episode 1: The Discovery of Diane's Pocket.
Aquamarine.
That beautiful pale blue to bluish-green member of the Beryl family, treasured by gem cutters and prized by mineral prospectors worldwide.
What rockhound wouldn’t be thrilled beyond description to crack into a gaping pocket laced with dozens of long, unbroken, gem-quality aquamarine crystals still lodged perfectly atop a gorgeous matrix?
In the fall of 2004, that once-in-lifetime-thrill came to amateur prospector Steve Brancato, as he searched for topaz on the chilly, steep slopes of Mount Antero, the 10th highest peak in the state of Colorado.
The high-school dropout turned fulltime gem hunter first extracted a loose 25-carat aquamarine, and that blue crystal became the first of many, many more over the course of the next few days. Brancato had uncovered the largest and most valuable pocket of aquamarine crystals ever unearthed in the United States.
Once extracted and restored, the impressive slab measured roughly 3 feet by 2 feet, and was encrusted with dozens of aquamarine crystals rising alongside a forest of gorgeous smoky quartz points.
In a touching move in honor of his mother, Steve Brancato dubbed his incredible discovery “Diane’s Pocket.”
As the biggest aquamarine cache ever found in the USA, its value is difficult to appraise, but some experts have estimated this one-of-a-kind wonder to be worth well over a million dollars.
“Diane’s Pocket” was first displayed publicly at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show in February of 2005, before being acquired by Bruce Oreck, a trustee of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Oreck then donated his spectacular purchase to the museum, where it has since been on continuous display for all the world to enjoy.

STORYLINE:
Fiber sandals and wooden spears looted from nomadic caves are among 929 pre-Columbian artifacts seized from smugglers in the U.S. and Canada and returned to Mexico.
We express our gratitude for the valuable support given us by the authorities of the United States of America in the process of recovering this lot of more than 900 archaeological objects that belong to the Mexican nation. said Patricia Espinosa during a news conference with the National Anthropology Institute.
National Anthropology Institute director Alfonso de Maria Campos says most of artifacts were seized over seven years by customs in Texas, Arizona and Toronto.
He says the most valuable are 800-year-old artifacts from nomadic cultures of northern Mexico.
Officials have concluded they were looted from caves because none are registered with museums.
Fiber sandals, wooden spears and turtle shell fragments were among the artifacts displayed Friday.
De Maria said the objects are rare because many northern caves have not been explored by archaeologists.

Episode 08: Amazing Quartz Crystals from Mt. Ida, Arkansas (Fisher Mountain Mine)
We visit the Stanley Mine on Fisher Mountain in search of clear quartz crystals near Mt. Ida, Arkansas, known as the Quartz Crystal Capital of the World. Chase and I pay a visit to Judy's Rock Shop before spending the day at the expansive quartz crystal collecting area on Fisher Mountain.
When you say quartz crystals, most collectors immediately think of the famous crystals found near Mt. Ida, Arkansas. Some of the largest crystals and clusters of crystals have been found in the clay-filled hydrothermal deposits of the Ouachita Mountain Range.
Each year, Mt. Ida hosts the World Championship Quartz Crystal Dig in October. Quartz crystal collectors from all over the world converge on the town to find the largest single crystal or the best overall cluster. For more information:

I sit on these images for the longest time, as I cannot convey what this feels like.
#gop #spaceShifters
My best guess after years of observations - These Creatures emanate from Violet Orb which almost always appears nearby.
For the record, I experienced these entities long before I became aware of chemTrails phenomena.
When I first noticed chemTrails, I felt these Creatures wanted me to see the trails and to share.
Everyone has their own chemTrails story.
