I have been trying to really understand this for decades. I’ve read many things including textbooks, websites, books, etc, I have watched many documentaries or shows or videos and no matter what I just couldn’t get the whole picture or any picture really. I watch this video with very little hope and I can’t believe it. I understand it perfectly. Why couldn’t anyone else make it this simple. You are the absolute best! You have no idea what this means to me. Thank you so much! It’s not complicated but yet nobody on Earth seems to be able to explain. Except you. You have made more than just my day. Thank you again.

These are very well done, thorough videos. They have been a tremendous help during isolation and really enhanced my understanding of rocks and minerals. Thank you much. Keep up the quality work.

This is great! I will be watching this a few times to really wrap my head around it, and eventually it’ll sink in enough for me to identify my rock/mineral collection. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Just started getting into Minerals & Rocks and this intro is just AMAZING. Professional, entertaining and to the point. Keep up the great work!

Rocks and Minerals. Clicks on video, first line spoken by narrator: "Minerals and Rocks." MY LIFE IS A LIE

Really finally get it now. You have the best understanding and explanation of all. Thank you for laying it out so simply. I can say that I have been exposed to years of people babbling on about various rocks, gone to look them up and just found things getting more difficult and mysterious. I knew what conglomerate was but breccia was a secret. I knew shale and slate, never heard of phyllite but often wondered what schist and gneiss were. Even if I had that chart I would not be able to connect it so clearly. Really I think this video is brilliant.

You're awesome! You make it so easy to understand, follow and structure the whole picture in one's head. Damn, I wish I saw your videos early :) Thank you, much appreciation!

This is very well explained making it quite educational. Enjoyed this.

this is so helpful for me and my sister because we are cracking and studying rocks and minerals.

Just discovered this channel and love it! Not in any type of geology class but studying my own rock collection 💗

Excellent Video !!! I learned a massive amount of information !!! Thank you !

It's a pretty good video, which illustrates minerals and rocks very clearly. Appreciate your good work.

You made everything 100 times easier to understand thank you!

This video has made me feel content. I love, love, love Rocks.

Best video on the subject I've come across so far, thanks!

Hi, I looked on your web page but I don't see any corresponding worksheets. Do you have them in a folder on there?
