Rock Solid PassionšŸ’ŽšŸŖØ

Welcome to Rock Solid Passion! I began rockhounding in spring 2024 and I’m still learning every step of the way. Join me as I explore the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas—the Quartz Crystal Capital—hunting for minerals, fossils, Native American artifacts, and the hidden stories buried in this ancient landscape. Out here, every hike is an adventure. I search creeks, ridges, and remote forest trails for clear quartz, rare minerals, relics, and traces of history left by those who came before us. I’m also learning the lapidary arts from scratch—cutting, sanding, and polishing rough stones into something beautiful. Expect real progress, real mistakes, and real discoveries as I figure it out in real time. If you enjoy geology, rock collecting, fossils, artifacts, lapidary, or the peace of nature, you’re in the right place. Everyone is welcome here. Want to support the journey? Your encouragement keeps these adventures going. {See links below} Come explore the magic of the Ouachita's with me.

Tonight at 6:30 PM CST — we’re heading straight back to the cemetery parking lot… and it gets even stranger.

Part 2 picks up exactly where we left off in Part 1 — same light, same wind, same eerie quiet in the trees. I walked deeper along the property line, and the gravel started revealing things I did NOT expect. More translucent chert, more hematite reds, more blue‑gray banding, more fossil‑like textures… and a few pieces that made me stop in my tracks.

If you thought the first visit told the whole story, wait until you see what was hiding just a few steps further.

Grab a seat in the live chat tonight — we’re premiering at 6:30 PM CST, and this one has some moments.

If you haven’t watched Part 1 yet, now’s the time to catch up so you’re ready when Part 2 begins.

See you tonight.

ā¤ļø A Quick Note About Comments & Notifications
Hey everyone — I wanted to share something important. For some reason, YouTube has not been sending me my comment notifications the way it should. Today I checked my comments again and found many, many messages from over a month ago that I never saw. This happens to me a lot, and I’m truly sorry if it ever felt like I ignored anyone.

I promise it’s not personal. I love hearing from you, and I always try to reply. But the ā€œAllā€ button in my notifications doesn’t stay selected, and comments just… disappear until I dig through the Studio inbox.

I’m working on figuring out what’s going on, but honestly, it really feels like a YouTube issue, not something I’m doing wrong.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your support.
If I ever miss a comment, please know I appreciate you — and I’m doing my best to catch everything. ā¤ļø

Tonight’s video takes you somewhere I’ve never been before — a quiet little cemetery parking lot that turned out to be way stranger than I expected.

I had no clue what I was walking into… and the rocks I pulled out of there still don’t make sense.

ā€œI Didn’t Expect These Rocks in a Cemetery Parking Lotā€¦ā€
Hope to see you all there

CEMETERY PARKING LOT? WAIT… WHAT.
Part 1 of 2 premieres TONIGHT at 6:30 PM CST!

I went rockhounding in the last place anyone expects… a quiet little cemetery parking lot.
And the rocks I pulled out of there? I’m still shaking my head.
Agate? Jasper? Something stranger? You’ll see.

Tonight is Part One — the discovery, the mystery, the ā€œno way this came from HEREā€ moment.
Part Two drops soon… and trust me, the story only gets wilder.

Set your reminder and come hang out with me at 6:30 PM CST.
Let’s kick off this unexpected adventure together.

ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø





We’re finally getting FIBER INTERNET!!
No more Hughes… cough cough I mean HughesNET šŸ˜‚
This means better livestreams, better video quality, more uploads, and WAY fewer struggles on my end.

And the BEST part?
Without the data cap, I’ll finally be able to watch everyone’s videos again without worrying about going over.
I can’t wait to return all the amazing support and love you’ve shown me. You all deserve it, and I’m so excited to be able to give that support back.

Thank you all so much for the love and support lately — we’re getting SO close to a huge milestone!
Right now we’re sitting at 2,870 watch hours, and with just a little more help, we can not only hit the 3,000 I was aiming for last month…
but we might actually push all the way to 4,000 watch hours together.

Every view, every comment, every minute you spend with me and these rocks means the world. I appreciate you all more than I can say.

If you want to help push us over the next milestone, feel free to watch a video or two today — it truly makes a difference.

And don’t forget:
We’ve got a premiere tonight!
Come hang out, relax, and enjoy some beautiful stones with me. Your company always makes my day.

Thank you all for being here.
šŸ’Žā¤ļø You’re the heart of Rock Solid Passion.

Premiere tonight at 6:30 PM CST!
I’m so excited to share my Valentine special with you — Love Rocks… A Valentine Heart Collection.

These are all natural heart‑shaped rocks I’ve found out in the mountains, the creeks, and the quartz veins. No cutting, no shaping… just the way Mother Nature made them. Pretty pretty pretty.

Come hang out with me during the premiere and tell me which heart is your favorite.
Here’s the link to join the countdown:

Thank you all so much for supporting last night’s 6:30 PM premiere!
I had planned to be there in the live chat, but we had a last‑minute change of plans with my mother‑in‑law and I wasn’t able to make it after all.

I just wanted to let everyone know what happened — and to say a big thank you to everyone who still showed up, watched, commented, and supported the new video. Your support means the world to me, and I appreciate every single one of you.

If you missed it too, here’s the polishing video:
ā€œDid It Take a Mirror Shine? Nail It or Fail Itā€

I’ll be catching up with everyone soon. Much love to all of you.
