Very unusual ore pocket full of crystals in the gold mine!

  • Checking on a spot in the Blue Chip Gold mine that showed some promise in previous sampling, I exposed a ore pocket that blew my mind! Not for the gold, but for the beautiful, fully formed, clear quartz crystals. And yes it had gold too. I ended up recovering crystalline gold and a many quartz points as well as clusters.

    Wow, this is truly an amazing find! It's not every day that you come across an ore pocket filled with such stunning crystals. The variety and clarity of the crystals is simply breathtaking. It's clear that a lot of time and effort was put into extracting these precious gems from the mine. The person filming the video did a great job capturing all the details and showcasing the beauty of these crystals. It's a testament to the wonders that can be found hidden underground. This video is a true treasure for anyone who loves minerals and gems. Great job!

    Dan, I have been watching your channel for about 4 or 5 years now. One of my hobbies is learning new things. I love your channel because you have taught me a lot about mining. I'm pretty sure your teaching experience played a big part in that. You make learning fun and interesting. I was just wondering if you saw and what you thought of Jason's episode where he crawled into that partially collapse addit and robed the pillers of that extremely rich ore. I have a mild case of claustrophobia, so I doubt I could ever crawl into an addit like that.
