    You see them as we see them after 500 Million years in the making. We found 5-6 pockets chasing an Anthraxolite seam. Great trip to Herkimer New York and looking forward to going back!

    My grandparents took me here when I was like 6 or 7 years old I remember trying all day to find one of these quartz crystals with no luck later in the afternoon I was in the gift shop and saw a stone with a massive rock imbedded in it, I picked the rock up off the shelf and ran out the front door with it and ran back to our RV thinking I was going to be a rich man, I threw the rock on the couch and yelled at my grandpa you have to drive !!! Let’s get out of here..... they made me carry it back in the shop and apologize, the store owner gave me my own little stone to keep, Ahahah I would have forgot if it weren’t for this video and for my grandpa teaching me a lesson about stealing obviously

    • @juneribbons5196
      @juneribbons5196 5 лет назад +1

      Herkimers are mostly double terminated and mostly clear like water. Some have inclusions, but the rest of the stone is clear. They are the hardest quartz on the Moshi scale. Other quartz crystals can be all different shaped. Google the difference you'll get better info there

  • @FoxyfloofJumps
    @FoxyfloofJumps 4 года назад +1

    The video's a little blurry, shaky at times. But this is the way to mine properly. So much good material goes to waste because people are in a hurry to haul as much out as fast as possible.
    If you were using jackhammers, or back-hoes to open these pockets, you'd destroy almost as much as you pulled out of the ground, and damage half of what was left.

    • @RoughMarket
      @RoughMarket  4 года назад

      Absolutely. We see a lot of smashed and broken ones from the commercial mining going on. They are careful but it's hard to avoid when using heavy equipment. It' not commercial for us so we enjoy taking our time :) Thanks for watching!

Where the tailings piles are in the video from 2017 , is where the wall was back in 1975 . Where the shop is in that same video is where the parking lot was . I took my children there in 1988 , I hope to take my grandkids there this summer . I have some very fond memories from there . Great video .

      That's a really good idea actually, not weird at all! If I come across one of those I will pick up and add it to the tools.

No mention from anyone in the shop paying mining fees either. If they have closed this area, there is no mention of it. When we do go again I'll find out more info. Thanks for the heads up.
