Join me as I explore an old construction site and unexpectedly discover some very interesting quartz crystals that I collect. I don't know much about gems, minerals or gemstones, but I do know I like what I found!

If you're ever feeling down an Aquachigger video goes a long way to helping get some perspective. Chigg has a lot of enthusiasm - the real McCoy, not the Disney type. Keep it up Beau - it's well appreciated.

Hi Beau. I am a preschool teacher and last week we learned about earth science. I shared some of your cave videos with them and then we looked at some crystals, quarts, iron pyrite and geode's that I have. We also grew some of our own crystals with Epsom salts. The kids loved it but they may have picked up on my love of this stuff. If you ever come across any extra crystals. fossils, seashells, arrow heads, or anything else they might like, I would be happy to pay for them and then I could add it to our science box. I am a very hands on teacher and love when they can see the real thing instead of pictures. They don't have to be high quality as they are only 4 and 5 years old and they will be touched a lot. Thank you all the great educational videos you share with us.

Most rock clubs have a program for the youths. The one in Spokane WA Goes to schools on earth day and other times during the year. The children seem to either love it or forget it. We need those love it students to keep this very interesting hobby available for the future. They also have schollerships that they donate to the collages and students who make mineralogy and gemology their majors

How cool! Little baby crystals- which I love finding too. When I moved from MD to VA- and lost my favorite 'anything-hunting' areas, I began looking around to see what was what. The Blue Ridge is all about the gems- crystals of many varieties. I too have been lucky enough to find what you found in this vid.- and some bigger as well. Good luck w/ future hunts!

And we have the mineral rights to three gold mines and a quartz mine. Everytime I watch you rock hunting gets me drooling to get back out there and get kicking the rocks. Love your content. Cheers

I've been a Rock hound sense I was old enough to walk. I remember holding my Nana's hand and her showing me all the pretty rocks. You found a great site for quartz crystals. Great video. Oh, usually when you see red in the ground it means there's iron in it.

@calebkelly9169 7 жыл бұрын

Usually red in limestone is linked to iron. Especially on the surface it's more of a collection of iron than intrusion.

Hey Chigg, that folded rock at the beginning is Metamorphic rock, limestone altered by heat/ pressure. With all the quartz probably hydrothermal fluids at one time as well! The red is iron!! Concentrate on the red clay, the quartz could be concentrated in pockets!! Cool video!

Oh my; I'm glad to know I'm not the only one to lay down my gold detector and start collecting quartz crystals. I do that all the time. One spot, about a 10' x 10' bare area, I found around 200 intact crystals. It was amazing. Nice goat btw. I have found a few huge quartz crystals here in NV. Keep up the great videos. Those waffer looking things you asked about are probably aragonite.

Beau, there are some good videos from crystal hunters in Georgia that may give you some ideas on what clay and what seams to explore for fully terminated specimens like you found there. I believe they tend to gather and when you find some that weathered out on the ground naturally, look up and hopefully their home is right there waiting for you two. Hope to see a follow up soon!!

@craigfurey942 7 жыл бұрын

When you find those crystals grown onto each other at an angle, that is called twinning. Its when imperfections in the crystal lattice structure truncate a base for a new crystal to form. Common in minerals like quartz, berryl, halite, etc.

Bring a blacklight led flashlight (if you don't have one you NEED one! ... many are available on Amazon ($5-$10)). In places like this, amazing things will fluoresce at night, glowing in amazing colors! I've seen quarries 'come to life' under UV (they make high powered, lantern battery, UV floods, besides the pocket led models). You'll be amazed! Looks great on camera, too! UV is also great for caving (you still need your normal headlamp, too). Crystals form in pockets called, vugs. These small hollow cavities can be located by tapping a rock hammer to find the 'hollows'. Keep your eye out for 'cracks' that may lead to a vug.
