We just got these in. These are great.
Very nice.
Yeah.
These are very special, because, you know,
they're really raised out.
It's usually very flat inside there.
You can feel how raised it is.
And that's from the Pliocene era.
Okay.
That's a really nice recess on there.
And it came with two specimens.
We got this one, too.
That one's really raised. That is really raised, yeah.
And that one's -- oh -- Holocene era, so that's --
It's two different eras but the same species of fish.
Right, right.
This is a female, and this one's a male.
You can tell by the jaw.
The female has more of a rounded tail.
Yeah.
So, Holocene, that's gonna be great.
People are very excited about those things.
I can tell. That's cool.
I'm thinking of probably setting it up just,
like, facing people so that they can see it.
You know, so the two of them are...
I think you got it backwards.
Where's his...? Wait a minute.
What the heck is going on?
Dude!
What the heck is going on?
Dude, that was definitely just one and one.
Yeah, no, I was here.
And then you put one on top of the other one.
And then you separated them, and now that one's on there.
It's, like, inlaid into the cell.
Yeah. Yeah, 'cause that's his jaw, remember?
It was popped out.
What the [bleep]
So, no, here's the -- Here's a question.
Yeah. 'Cause you had these
for sale at two different prices,
and you bought them for two different prices,
and now you only have one piece.
I'm gonna have to call them back.
What, are you gonna call them and tell them
that the fish swam over to a different rock?
Okay. I don't know.
I mean...
Yeah, seriously. 'Cause I can't sell this guy.
No.
As anything.
No.
Oh, my gosh.
That's insane. Hang on.
I, uh -- I'm getting a book.
Oh! Dude, all right, there's four.
There's little babies.
Shut up.
Look for yourself.
Are you --
What the --
Oh, my God. That is absolutely insane.
When you flipped it upside down, too, I was like,
"Maybe we should stop flipping it over,"
'cause every time...
Like, are they made to, like, shake out?
I think the piece just became a lot more valuable, though.
We should call, you know, the museum.
Who's gonna believe us?
Dude, you saw it.
I've seen the whole thing.
More fish just kept showing up when we'd flip it over.
I don't -- I don't even know how to describe it.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
I wonder if that --
You've got, like, a whole family.
A male, a female, and five babies.
And they're from two different eras, so that --
Set it upside down again. Let's see if we get more fish.
Oh, my God.
That's what it was like? It was just like that?
It was just like that. There's still two fish,
and I went like this, and I went,
"No, there's more now."
Like, it just -- it's not like they, like, appeared.
They were just there.
Is this, like, prehistoric fossil breeding?
But how -- from one to two, the male, the female,
and then the babies. How do two dead fish breed?
How is that even possible?
That is not possible. Hang on one second.
I got to get my boss.
You guys, you're not gonna believe this.

Here you go.
We're gonna be selling this polish maybe in a week.
And what would it be? For most things like this?
Anything like that.
A rock like this, which already has a little shine to it...
-It does. -It already has a shine to it.
We'll put a little bit on the cloth around it.
It's very quick, too. Look at that.
That's scary.
Yeah.
'Cause normally this would take probably
a week and a half in a tumbler.
Now, how long will it stay like that, though?
Yeah, if you did want to -- They have --
They do carry an unpolisher.
Sometimes they use it on cars.
You know, they're matting it down
so it has a matte look to it.
Yeah.
Like these, um --
these paperweights.
Okay.
And we've got -- Like, this one here.
So, the bottom, we can't get that to --
So that's what it was? That's what it was.
And then, it will be... that strong.
Oh, my gosh. Isn't that wonderful?
Isn't that beautiful? Really, really real.
And that's what the unpolisher
is supposed to do, is to be able to unpolish a surface.
So if you, you know, hit it very quickly --
look at that -- it'll go right back down.
Did you see it?
Yes.
Back down to its original state.
'Cause we polish these.
It'll go back to being an apple.
We polish all of our apples from real apples.
So is that a real apple? Yeah.
And that one is, too?
They're petrified.
Was that petrified?
This was petrified,
but I de-petrified it with the unpolisher.
I feel like I'm in an alternative --
an alternate something. Hm?
It seems so unreal that you can do it and undo it, but...
I know. You know, these we did last season.
I have a petrified banana I'm gonna bring out.
All right, all right. Hang right here.
I'll see if I have that.
♪♪
It can -- It does feel cold.
It's pretty amazing. That's wild.
What are you doing with them?
Oh, this -- this is a petrified agave.
That's awesome.
Yeah. So, what are you looking to do?
I was looking for a rock tumbler.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
'Cause I teach at a school, yeah.
Oh, yeah. And the kids are studying...
To use a tumbler.
Yes, I'm trying to bring the whole thing to life for them.
You can use rocks like these in just a small tumbler.
Oh. What happens, then?
They're just fragments, so they'll break down.
Yeah.
You know?
So you can use a can or anything, like a shaker.
Yeah.
And because this is agave,
I'm just gonna put a bunch of that in there.
Is that why you have that?
Yeah. Oh, that's really funny.
That's what the shaker is for.
That's really funny.
But you're just gonna show me that it's gonna
break it into smaller pieces.
Well, it does break down faster than regular rocks.
It's not as strong as quartz or diamond.
Yeah. But it does break down fast
when you kind of shake it.
But the fun part is, is that you kind of feel
the coldness on the edge.
Gets really cold.
It's conducting against the metal, so we just --
What?
That's releasing the cold.
It's almost so difficult, like --
Yeah. It's almost untouchable.
Yeah, that's because they're hitting into
each other, and they'll break down.
It reacts to the metal,
so it's drawing out that coldness.
There we go.
You hear that? It almost reduces to sand.
But it kind of liquifies.
And because it's agave...
it reduces down to a liquid state.
It's one of the only rocks that will reduce down.
Is that why you're standing here, to do this?
Yeah. So that's --
No.
This is the only rock that'll do this.
How come I don't know about --
How come I don't know this happens?
I've been a rock nerd forever.
Oh, yeah? This is new.
They were mining in Mexico for these,
and they thought it was amethyst
that they pulled up. Oh, so they just found them?
Just found this. So they're just in.
And...
But you can't restore it to this.
No, not once it -- No, 'cause what it leaves is...
The residual pieces, it'll be crystallized.
What?
So the rock pieces --
'Cause it's all drawn out from it.
See?
Wait a minute.
Yeah.
I know. I said the same thing
when they were showing it to me.
I was like, "There's no way."
Okay, so, is this ice?
They were saying something about the glacial period,
that because it was underneath that --
like, absorbed it --
So it sort of made it like...
It did, like, an igneous-style change.
Exactly. That's what he said -- ignea.
You can take a taste of it. It's absolutely natural.
It's no different than extracting minerals
and vitamins from rock.
I mean, it's literally a prehistoric margarita.
♪♪
A lot of people coming in for quartz.
This is an amazing store.
I've never seen anything like it.
No? First time wandering in?
We get some really amazing features.
Considering we're in Chicago,
we get some pretty powerful stuff, like this.
Very rare. A Septarian.
That one's really awesome.
These have a very powerful resonance that some people --
Well, some people say they can feel that.
Can you feel it? Go ahead.
You can put your hand on it and sort of, like...
Believe it or not, slightly.
You do, right? Right toward the edge.
It's like you feel the awareness of it.
I felt something, like, some type of energy.
It has, like, a magnetic -- magnetic vibration.
Yeah. Do you know what's amazing?
Do you have a quarter or a coin?
Yeah. You do?
If you put it near it, it almost has a magnetic --
Okay. Like a... Yeah.
Do you feel it? Does that pull a little?
Mm. A little bit?
Not as much as I'm used to, like opposites.
Right, when a magnet goes, but...
If you rub the quarter around and around on it,
it reacts to the metal in the quarter.
Because this is just an alloy now, but it'll...
changes the property of that quarter.
You can stretch it a little bit?
A little bit. You see that?
Oh, wow! Isn't that something?
You got to be kidding me.
Yeah, well, because it's not --
It's nickel inside there.
So the nickel is gonna melt from the resonance.
Is this "The Abanero Project"?
Sorry? Is this the, um...
"The Habanero Project"?
I mean, um, there's a show -- like, a magic show with, uh --
No, I'm sorry. What?
Did you just do that to my quarter?
Yeah.
Can I keep that as a souvenir?
I mean, it was your quarter.
Nice. Yeah.
Still has a little heat, probably, a little resonance.
It's pretty wild.
Hey, man, interesting.
Let me go grab that order for you.
I can make a necklace out of this or something.

It's a head shaker, for waking up
the second half of the afternoon.
Do they have an account here at the Swedish-American Museum?
Of course they do.
Yes? Okay.
Well, I am here to pick up brown spray paint
with the least amount of fumes possible.
Oh, okay, okay.
But they don't really care the shade.
They just need the least amount of fumes.
It's a children's event,
so I bet it's gonna be kids painting things.
Yeah. You know what's probably good
is, you want to use, like -- just use a Spray Pal.
I would just use a Spray Pal.
You just stick it on into any --
You know, whatever tone they want to use,
you can just have them use that.
Just stick it right in. All right.
So, where should I look for that?
Here, let me show you. I have one over here.
It comes like this. Uh-huh.
And it's got a little protector on it,
and that's got the needle nozzle.
Okay.
And then, if you want to take something like, um...
Here, a lot of people use organic fruits
or something like that 'cause they like a sense
of nature in their home, so here, watch.
You stick it right in. Like that.
And then you can color with it just by spraying.
It'll extract the color from any...
That's orange?
Yeah.
That's insane.
Yeah, it pulls the natural enzymes out.
Fruit works really well.
That's why most people use things like that,
'cause it's got --
You know, it's got the most amount of pigment inside it.
Well, that is fascinating.
I feel like they kind of want,
like, a spray bottle, though.
Oh, like a whole bottle? Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I think they just want that but with the least amount.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think they really care about the smell.
Tell them this.
Tell them you take something -- Like, say this was coffee.
You tell them to just stick that right inside
the side of it like that.
As long as it doesn't poke out the side of the can,
you can just use that to just give it a little...
And it will use that natural color, but that's gonna have --
That doesn't smell like anything.
Wow. I'm, like, mind-blown.
I don't paint, but that's really cool.
We get a lot of people who want --
a lot of people who are doing their living rooms
and their bedrooms with, like, with a tongue.

It's the stuff that's supposed to help bond them together.
Ah.
So, uh, here, let me, uh...
Here, can you separate these?
I'll try.
Nice job.
I thought they were gonna be glued together?
No, no.
No, no, it tries to help them find each other.
Like magnetism, in a way. Oh, interesting.
Like, drop -- here, drop them in there.
What... The two loose ones, yeah.
You drop the loose ones in there.
And then you put the emollient inside like that.

supposed to be able to find...

Yeah, it finds it right on the little.
He's saying it's the same thing when you make paint.
It's, like, a molecular structure.
Yeah. They bond to each other.
They find -- Like, molecules are certain shapes
that fit into other shapes.
What if we put a bunch of them in there?
Would they all just clump up?
Uh, I guess. I mean...
Here, let's put a bunch in there.
Probably have to put a lot of that.
