Mining Haley's Comet Nevada Turquoise

Watch Dillon Hartman, John Hartman, and Scott Williams mine blue Nevada Turquoise from the Haley's Comet Turquoise mine in Nevada USA. Watch as the Turquoise is mined with a jack hammer, and pick and shovels.

OMG, someone show this guy how to use a jack hammer.

[@g-dcomplex1609]

nevada is a turquoise candyland

[@illustrious1]

I wonder if they felt their chakras balancing while digging out those turquoise veins?

[@joshuaflores1990]

Thanks for not editing out the noise of the jackhammer! Groovy intro music dudes. Do you take mushrooms before you pull the jackhammer out?

[@DurangoSilver]

We use most of the Turquoise in jewelry.... we do sell to some jewelers as well

[@michelleknight7362]

aumi.jewels I want a piece of that turquoise if you have any please

[@Naramyx]

Any chance of finding really close mines that are close to Henderson, NV.Please I'm hungry for hunting gemstones or rocks

[@jeffhildreth9244]

You are expecting them to know, and then tell you?

[@sum2automation]

Please, let the hammer do the work or you'll find your intestinals in your wallet, lol.
Nice findings,
Thanks for sharing!

[@DurangoSilver]

Not too much, we just cut the Turquoise straight out of the vein

[@kevinedwards8330]

I know of many turquoise mines 😌

[@pigpaul]

Bling,bling!!!

[@TimberlyLove]

amazing!

[@janettaschuch3591]

Looks like a jack hammer would ruin loads of turquoise.

[@jasongt1]

I wondered that myself. How is turquoise properly mined?

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@jasongt1 Not this way.

[@larrymoremckenzie3029]

Why so expensive? it comes out in chunks like that!

[@ReganMarcelis]

How does this work do you own the mountaain aka land?

[@jeffhildreth9244]

You won't get a reply.
Guarantee ownership is questionable.

[@welcometoorefuge]

What do you guys DO with all of the turquois? Do you sell it to a dealer, a jeweler, or what?

[@DurangoSilver]

Yep.. it sure is, we are partners in it

[@deannez9335]

Seems like these guys are rookies

[@DurangoSilver]

This is a humorous video more than serious, but yes this is the beginning of mining this claim. The video was shot years ago. Amateur video gear, and techniques. Much more professional these days. Are you a miner or just a naysayer? Just curious where your credibility comes from. By the way we were able to recover a serious amount of turquoise this mining trip.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@DurangoSilver You have no clue as to what you are doing, in my opinion.

[@Chompingsharks]

Turquoise used to be thrown out by miners. It's worth alot know..

[@janettaschuch3591]

Chompingsharks -- sounds like the miners were amateurs.

[@mofomoco]

You can buy landscape rocks at a rockyard near me with various colors of turquoise running thru it. I made a stream in my backyard using it...

Is it legal Job?

Is this your claim??

[@mattjohnson5355]

How do you separate the turquoise from the host rock?

[@abepetrow]

So you blew up a 2000 lb chunk of turquoise. Don't try to tell me its worth $30 a carat (a carat is 1/5 of a gram)

[@nevadaminer5977]

I sell my turquoise as high as $100/ct.

I came here with the hopes of one day owning solid turquoise counter tops in my home, but now I know that it will never be possible with idiots like these ruining all of the world's turquoise. Take notice they weren't even wearing any face/hearing protection. smh.

I have a 100 lbs of no bull fine spiderweb I found if I can put a pic I’ll show u all that rock is too much trash

Turquoise has little to no value. Maybe in 2009 it did but look on ebay, cheap.

[@monikamir1]

No way! Real turquoise is not cheap at all.

[@nevadaminer5977]

I sell my turquoise for as much as $100/ct. If you like fake turquoise, then you can decorate yourself with blue plastic for pennies on the dollar all day long.

[@7CAJONEZ]

@@nevadaminer5977 I lived in NM for 45 years. The Turquoise Trail Rt 14 begins in Tijeras and goes to Santa Fe. The shoulder consisted of gravel from nearby turquoise mines. 50 years ago you could get some pretty decent chunks there. That's how valuable it is. It is artificially inflated because of Indian history of jewelry, associatec with the SW, tourist stuff. What you showed was ugly stuff. Maybe bad video but IMO the only kind worth having is silver veined, marbled, stout...not fragile. And it for sure is not rare.
