Roadside Rockhounding: Agates & Zeolites

Join us for some fun roadside rockhounding in the Washington desert. Stay until the end for a slide show of these tiny little agates and zeolites. In the video I mention pillow basalt, which is a volcanic igneous rock that forms when lava of basaltic composition erupted underwater. The rapid cooling of the lava by cold water on all sides forms the pillow-shaped bodies, which can then break open and extrude more of the hot lava from inside.
