Prospecting for crystals in Australia.

- Hello and welcome to my channel. My name is Cliff and I'm an Australian gem cutter. In my spare time I also like to prospect for gemstones. In this video I go out with a friend in a remote part of the Australian bush in search of crystals. If you enjoy seeing more of these videos, for a few dollars a month becoming a patron is great way to support and maintain a small independent channel like mine. Patreon link below. Best Wishes Cliff

So good that you don't put music in the background rather just nature - love it
What a beautiful stream! Searching a location like that is a dream come true. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see you facet some of that citrine some time.
Thanks Bill.
Lovely place, and to find crystals in there too, that's double the fun I think. Thanks for sharing your trip, and your rather nice harvest too!
Thanks Kathy.
Black Tourmalline spindles in that terminating Crystal is really pretty. Thank-you.
Thank you for the video, it looked like a fun day! 👍👍
Thanks....We a good time.
And now this wonderful small cristal we found in this lab in the harbor area. Its common these places and is often called methia by christal enthusiasts.

I'm going to start gemstones faceting, after watching your videos.
Awesome adventure nothing like finding your own sweet beautiful area beautiful finds awesome thank you
I'm a new subscriber, love the videos
I'm from Victoria too 😄 as soon as lockdown is lifted, I'm going to look for some cristals too 😁
Happy fossicking....
Amazing video! Like a adventure storybook, considering European autumn night I have here)
There are some amazing places in Australia. Spring and Autumn are the best seasons.
Awesome stuff mate ⛏️😎👌
Thanks
Fantastic.
Thanks
Yeah nice. I found my 1st clear quartz crystal the other day, quiet surprised to say the least
You should have a secondary operation and pan for gold as well! Idk if that area has gold but it might
That seive has some mighty big holes in it.... Only after the big ones eh? Any diamonds, gold specs or Sapphires will fall through. Without giving too much away, what part of Aus is this? North Vic? Loosk like you could have flicked a few trout lures.
Yeah I was crying when they put that all through being a good prospector myself. Thinking of all the pickers they must have washed away but then again could be no where near any gold but would have missed some good gems
I love youer vid
Bom que lindo esse vídeo. Pedras lindas amigo. Parece que estou em um filme. Gostei...
Thank you.
Finding the stones, to me is the best part. This year I hope to also start cutting them. Your channel is a start.I really appreciate the tips you share.
great post, thanks for no music
I am a big fan of gems
What a fun video. That stream got me excited the moment it came into view, Cliff. Awesome! The old gold panning guy in me kept looking for black sand. LOL
Thanks to you and Merv for taking the time to make this video. Much fun.
Thanks John. I saw some black sand on the shovel in one spot, but there were no gems. I know what you mean, I did a lot of gold panning in my younger days. I still have my old sluice box.
@@VintageTimeGems if you are thinking of selling it let us know I'm looking to buy one also from Vic.
Paisagem incrível 👍👍👍👍👍🇧🇷
Thanks
Where abouts in Victoria is this?!
Have you ever faceted moissanite? I don’t want to be picky but a pharaohs eye cut moissanite would look so amazing with how sparkly it is!
Yes I have. I made a video on faceting moissanite.
@@VintageTimeGems thank you!
what sort of soil would i look for when fossicking. I am a complete novice. But like rock hunting.
Please.is possible to find diamond in the stuff where there have calcite.pl.answere me
Lovely little stream. What part of the state is that in and was it on private property that you had to get permission to access?
I doubt he'd say where his spot is!
@@lambchop6278 What part of "what PART OF THE STATE" do you not understand? Not asking for a post code.
Real shame he doesn't even let you know where abouts it is or if it's private property..concerned someone might get a better find than him 🤷🏻♀️..
Hi Cliff, my partner and I recently spent 9months in the QLD gemfields, finding a lovely array of gemstones.
Do you buy raw at all?
I can email pics, sizes, weights etc.
Kind thanks...
Hi Cliff what rough area was this
u need go up the river and find core place, where all this crystal came from. Need only 1 meter titanium rod, pick and the showel. Is digging
quartz vein is legal in australia
In Victoria where he is you need a mining licence to do any sort of prospecting. It's not expensive but the fine for getting caught without is very pricey.
❤️❤️⭐👍💎💎
do you think meteorite glass could survive in creeks?
Why not? Best place to find it would be where there is evidence of a crator. There is one in North Western Victoria.
@@greghayes9118 I was thinking of moldavite that is scattered over much of Central Europe
Any gold in there ? should be sieving that into a pan looks a lot like north east vic mate
No gold....
So your talking theres crystals in Australia?!i live in Australia
Apart from Kangaroo tracks. Do you see much other wild animals on your travels?
Plenty of Australian parrots, birds. Saw a Echidna the other day on a Sunday drive.
Vintage Time I had to google echidna, I didn’t know what they were. They look great . They eat ants. Do you have ants bring garnet to the surface like I’ve heard about in other countries?
Like 112.
Super like 💎🤝
Half way through the video it looked like you had just about killed Merv 😂
There probably nice gold in crevices
I doubt it, but I should try? Cheers Cliff
Why doesn’t Australia have amazing crystals like they have in the US and other countries?
Geologically as a continent it's a lot older making the quality poorer during to weathering and other factors.
@@VintageTimeGems
Oh, it's a real shame. If there was I'd be out there digging😊
We do. Australia has the largest coloured diamond reserve in the world.
You need to get yourself one of those cheap gimbals.
