That’s the prettiest green I have ever seen!

Peridot is my birthstone so I had to click on this video faster than I have ever clicked on any other video of yours

Here in the Klamath Mountains of No CA and So OR that basalt is frequent enough that I recognized those rocks right away. I will be exploring them this yearthaniks to you Dan, this was a great geology lesson!. Thanks for the great videos.

I have seen some olivene in the basalt around White Pass, WA. Along highway 12 there is a big round mountain.. Goose egg mountain east of the Dam at Rimrock Lake... this was the remaining magma chamber of an ancient volcano.. I imagine that is the source of the olivene/peridot. I also have seen spots on the mountain where the heavy frost is melted.. there may be hot springs or fumaroles.. lots of them near the peak of Bethel Ridge.. on the West and SW side.

Love your vids always informative and also like liberty cave I also to live in nor cal and have found a few spots that I am going to prospect this year mostly for gold but a few gemstones Aswell

*_"This is peridot facet 2F5L cut 5-XG, we may have a small problem, there is this one human who is hunting peridots, it may be a threat, I'll keep you updated."_*

How very interesting! Thanks again for sharing. I really enjoy watching your videos.

Hey dan I mined peridot once with a work acquaintance his clam was at the top of the basalt column under about 18 inches of overburden he had dug down about another 1/2 to 3/4 meter to get to the pockets but mostly searched for small veins of the dark green the basalt at the top of the column was Less dense and easier to break and dig through might be worth trying

Hello Dan Hurd how are you sorrey for "my broken English "can you helping me teaching how to minening opal ;granite *gemstone *I am from the reachest east African country of this resource and there is too many but there is no one investors in it please if you can to help me I am leaving in southafrica. Thank you for reading my comment.

Cool vids man! I always see strange and interesting rocks and geology around BC but I don't know shit about most of it. I've always been interested in learning about it and going rock hounding. How does it work in BC as far as claims and stuff? I know how placer gold claims work, I had one with a friend a few years back and - is it any different with gems? Can I just "prospect" and collect and sell gems legally as just a regular Joe Blow, or do I need some kind of freeminer license? And I assume I'd have to watch out for other's claims and stay off...

Thank you, very valuable to know the type of rocks

Beautiful stones! We got yogo sapphire by here. Pretty nice spot you got Dan.

Do you know where i can buy unbroken nodules that may contain peridot? I want to break them open and make jewelry for my baby girl who will be born in August.

Thank you Dan for this too.

neat shot kool spot!

Would you please explain what kind of rocks you're looking to open in search of the gems? And what you're looking for when searching for garnets in the previous video?

Hi there. I am new to rock hounding, but take a great interest in rocks, as do my kids. I have stumbled upon your KZfaq channel and am really enjoying it as I am from the Okanagan and a lot of the areas you go to are familiar to me :-) Now from what I understand there are areas that we can not rock hound as there are claims, but I am hoping that you could tell me where we are able to look, just for recreation, the govt web site is down, or if you could lead me in the right direction to gain this info. We frequent the Sugar lake area and Pinaus lake area frequently throughout the summer. My husband hunts in the Harris Creek area. Thank you

What was the biggest faceted peridot produced at your claims?

I'm curious! You said that the olivine turns red or rusty when it close to the surface of the bedrock. My question is does it matter if the bedrock you are cracking open does it matter if it's in the sun facing south. I'm finding it all being rusty in color. I'm also curious if I remove the top layer of boulders to get down to less exposed bedrock if I might find better clusters sockets of olivine? And peridot. Also the bedrock is an old deposit, there are no catacombs above the bedrock field I'm working.

The peridot is gemstone of light green I sure

for your information,if you travel to the Arizona fire agate spot, the fire ants push fanciable peridot out of there nests ,some are over an inch round, you just have to carefully picking them up.

Dan i love ur videos... i would love to start prospecting for gold if that if what u call it........i live in Tijuana i am a technician for a local internet provider and i have a couple a questions and i also would really love to get advice on how to look for certain material suck as gold and gemstones of any kind, ive done some reaserch on a certain area and would like to ask in what type of ground or stone can gold be found besides quartz.????.. and also in what type of soild or rocks can gems can be located i ve seen lots of your videos and kinda have a general idea but id love to get more details info if possible .... I found some quartz rocks and after having them for more than a year in our yard one morning after seing one of your videos i started smashin the rocks with other bigger rocks .. i was making so much noise cause some of the quartz where kinda big, so my wife herd and came to see whats going on and she got so mad cause she saw me smashing all the pretty rocks we brought .from a trip..... but..... then i broke apart this really beatiful quartz i was sure i was gonna regret it... i looked like red inside, white outside with a lot of tranparicy so after breaking it ...we found like really thin layers of what i thinks is gold ... so we where like wooooowww i would love to show u a pictures and get feedback. Also if you have the time would like to know wich type and brand of metal detector do u you recommend for rocky soil or montains/hills?

If you still own this site, you will have to begin busting open these bolders.

And here we see the su fandom in their natural habitat. They are very territorial, when you enter their territories you gotta play by their rules.

Not all basalts bear the mantle xenoliths (the olivine nests) They are mainly found in alkaline basalts.

Hey Dan was wondering if they have Peridot here in WA if you know or not?

Hi ! I'm new to this ,but I have a stone the I'm not sure if it 's crystal or not can you look at it Please?

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

I do not know. I feel like and idiot. I have 80 acres of basalt. Alot of crushed and weathered. But I do not see these nests in there. All my basalt is a solid homogenous hard to drill hard to crush hard to make gravel. And here you are. The guy even shows in details what and where. Anyhow may be this gem search is like picking up mushrooms(I am good at it) just do not have right eye for spotting the gems.

Sir I have germstone, how do I sell them to you?

How common are these?

Are you sell them?

Big dan i have found a peridot location in arizona its not been explored but surface keeps being carried out the vein is about 6' wide and around 100 feet long its open ground i was going to post it if I found anyone interested in it i have been debating on whether or not to claim it for myself or 7500 to sell it

I have a question for you.. I live in Virginia and recently I went to the river and brought home two buckets of sand.. After running it through my sluice box and I panned it down I found some little small silver round balls and they are not birdshot or sinkers.. what could that be?

where was this at

I found peridot

Just like Olivines from iron meteurites.

I have basalt like this on my property, they are filled with cream colored nodes and pockets of clear or white crystals. any idea of what they are ? I'm gonna have to see if I can find green ones now 😆

who I can find. sir

👍

Clod
