I lived in Albuquerque for six years. There was a place called Jemez springs and people used to go soaking in it. It was yellow rocks and warm water coming through it.I didn't know about the ones in your video but Jemez is south of that area.

I watched your video, followed the map, and found a handful of diamonds! Thank you so much. You made my trip to New Mexico!

I’ve been to Haunted Ridge rocks a few times I love the diversity of specimens you can find there. For $30 you can fill a bucket full and it’s everywhere. I loved hearing your explanations.

I just got back from CO rockhounding, and Ruby mountain has this material but veeery scarce on garnet. I managed to find some ryolite with little salt granule sized garnets and topaz, and lots of Apache tears!

Hi Geo Rock Nerd. Right at the end of this you should have also mentioned to not leave any trash behind if you fossick there. That includes poop. Bury it away from the diggings. Enjoyed your video anyway.

That’s so cool.

Yeah that seamers a screamer.

Had a great time rock hunting at this site back in mid-June 2024. Very accessible, plentiful pieces of beautiful fluorite, even found a gorgeous carnelian. Thanks for the tips!💯

Oh my, interesting. But, I got motion sickness from all the swinging around.

1. Illegal to collect 2. Leave no trace ...stop kicking chunks around and picking up and throwing the peices.

Wow, is it true that the poorest county in New Mexico has the richest minerals?

Haven't gone yet, and will let you know how it goes, but just want to thank you right now for this video. I had no idea that this type of stuff was right there by the Valles Caldera! I know of various hot springs in the area, but this is next level stuff that I can't wait to check out! Thanks!!

Have one in PAPUA NEW GUINEA today

The sutures are so awesome. ❤I think they resemble oak leaves. I would love to see you prep and polish some of your finds. I just found your channel, and I’m looking forward to watching your videos. 🎉

I went out there today 4/5/24 and had a great time. Thank you so much for the lead…

I wonder how long these take to form. 100s, 1000s or millions of years?

Outstanding, i could almost feel the hot mud on my shoes and smell the sulfur! Tom Triumph.

what a cool, informative video!

What a beautiful place. Kind of wandered around and found nothing but will return. Your video helped

Thank you for the information I found quite a few!

Jesus, could you turn the sound up!!!!! My gosh!!!!

Thank you so much for posting this! I've lived in this area of NM for many years and have wanted to visit Sulphur Springs but thought it was on private land and off-limits. Now I'm definitely going to go as soon I can! Thanks also for the NPS links and location info. Very helpful.

So, to reach the fluorite seams, after going thru the gate, do I go to the left, & walk up the big arroyo to the left? Or, do I follow the path to the right, which goes over the hills? Thanks

Hey can someone turn that fly down 🤣 keep rocking 😎🤙

I think I might have some bone in chert from there. Hard to tell but I keep thinking about it.

That's so awesome! My girlfriend and I are in the process of planning a trip in the long term future to go out west and get all kinds of minerals from some of the dig areas in NM, AR, UT, etc. Maybe we will have to swing by and check this out! By the way, since fluorite and calcite are fluorescent, have you guys tried taking a black light out there to look for some? I bet that would be super cool to see!

Thanks! So glad people share stuff like this.

No labels?!!

Checked out Shark Tooth Ridge for the first time yesterday. I don't really know what I am doing so I didn't find any sharks teeth, just some small tube fossils in the rocks, crinoids maybe, and a couple chunks that weathered out. Next time I plan to bring a sieve to sift some of the sand away and see if that helps? I suspected maybe a lot of people have visited and maybe the teeth aren't as easy to find

Thanks for doing this video! Very helpful in planning an upcoming trip.

Lived in this area of NM for decades and never knew this vein existed. Awesome of you to share!

Clean your Pyrite with toothpaste and a stiff toothbrush to help restore shine. I also noticed a piece of the Hematite from Dona Ana Co., that me and my brother found. Cool.

This was our first time rock hunting and I have to say THANK YOU!!! The directions were so clear and your explanations made it so easy to find them! We found a ton of rocks in only an hour! We found our new hobby as newlyweds :)

There are all kinds of fun rocks up there. I was born and raised in Grants and some people know where there are some really cool minerals.

Nature is amazing!😅😅😅

Very interesting! Is there a way to determine how long the process of the different layers/bands take to form? Loved this video. Thanks for sharing

Is that Forest Service road 138 ?

I am so glad to find someone else who goes absolutely wingnut over Apache Tears. There are times I'll spend hours every day just obsessing over every shiny black rock that grabs my attention. Great info on this one too. Have you ever looked closely at the red ant hills? They are loaded with larger granular rocks that they mined from their tunnels.

Thank you! If you like to come to our club and give a talk about the agate/geode video you have that will be great. Super great content in your channel. Thanks for the great information and sharing locations

My suggestion is next time dig all the detritus around the ammonite first insitue first. It kind of looked like you could have gotten it out in 1 to 3 pieces. Might have saved you time in reconstruction. Really nice find nonetheless. Good information. I have dugout many cretaceous ammos in texas and live in Arizona today today. I want to make a trip to New Mexico to hunt for some of those ammos. Tthanks for th video i sure wish i cold contact you and talk ammonites. I have some really cool specimens id like to show you. I must say from what you salvaged you did a fantastic job of preparing and reconstruction. I know frome experience it is way easier said than done. Lane Reese nine 4 zero 3 six five 99 two 4

We were just up there the other week and not much water at all right now compared to previous years we visit. Cool place.

Thanks for posting this video!! Went there twice in the last 2 days and found some cool things.

Has there ever been gold found in that area?

my mouth is watering.. I might have a problem

The way you just tossed that chunk like it's trash.. Unknowing that that's the equivalent of the best piece I've ever found lol. I must admit, I'm a wee bit jealous. That'd be a crazy haul. I can't believe someone left it. Guessing they must've scored something sweet!

Ahh! Im tired of literally having _dreams_ of finding a log only like 1/12th of this size... I'm in CO but I'm super tempted to plan a trip to NM to view some pieces like this. I've seen all the massive pieces you've shared with us. My 10lb find is cool and all but it's far from a log. I need 2 logs. One for me, and one for my mother. That's the dream! Thanks for sharing!

I cant seem to grasp the difference between Agate, Flint, Chert, and Jasper. Im even questioning what I thought quartz is. The cherry on top is petrified wood... I don't understand

Thank You, Dustin sent… 😊👍🌞
