- Check out this gemstone I found! Know as Dallasite, it is mostly found on the beaches of Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.

WE LOVE YOU DAN HURD!
Thanks
No 🧢
" im not going to pick up anything between here and the car"
10 minutes later-
" i cant leave THIS behind"! 🤣🥰
Let's face it, Dan. You need a wagon with wide rubber tires and a lithium battery powered motor.
Never fear when Dan is here.
I always enjoy your videos.
Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.
This Dallasite is beautiful! I love how Dan searches the beach like a kid on an Easter Hunt, LoL!!
6:00 WOW! That is so beautiful!
Hello from Scotland⛏🏴
Hello!
😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this semi precious stone with us. Very beautiful like the area you live.
Been watching you for quite a while now.
Glad to hear it!
There is NO way this just happened. I was organizing my bowl of dallasite. Another bowl of jasper. Opened my youtube app and Boom! A literal video of my life out here on VI hahaha. Love it Dan!!!!
Does anyone else see pictures in these rocks , or is it just me? I am enchanted with these rocks. So lovely.
DAN!!!! So happy to see you finding gems everyone else thinks are just rocks. It's great you have a marketplace where you can sell gems you just find. It's always interesting to be educated by you and your discoveries.
Booooo Ukrainian NAZIs
Go back to Ukraine!
@@DAVIS__ Spoken like someone who believes and supports Pooptin and Trump.
Love that stone!
Me too!
Dan,I like you posting the date it was filmed. Makes it easier to join you in your travels. I don't care if the "new" material was filmed years ago it helps with the seasons
You have to learn to walk to the farthest point and pick up on the way back.
I have always loved collecting rocks. You are informative, entertaining, charming and fun to watch.
Will you look at that!! Great find Dan!!
💯💚💯💚💯💚💯
That was an amazing trip
3:15 Me want. A naturally tumbled stone with that beauty... to have that in a collection and knowing that it was found in that state on a beach, in the wild. Well, I don't expect to get that one, but I will be shopping for just such a thing.
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Dan, that Dallasite is gorgeous! Never collected it before. I would love to have some cabs of that stuff. My lapidary work is now limited to jewelry making with cabs made by other people. Stay healthy and keep rocking it, dude!
Will keep an eye out next time I'm on the island! My daughter would love treasure hunting
Dan Thanks that was Definitely a interesting 👍 Video For Sure !!!; )
I'm loving the geology lessons of the day!
I was never much of a rockhound, mostly look for shells and sea glass, but this past fall I visited my daughter in Nova Scotia and we went to the beach in Blomidon Park. The amount of beautiful agate just lying around everywhere would turn anyone in to an amateur geologist. It's truly amazing, and apparently is being constantly refreshed by the famous Bay of Fundy tides. I don't know if you've ever gone, but if you haven't, you might want to consider adding it to your list of potential travels. You'd probably make an amazing video from it :D
Sounds like fun!
How much can you ship back international shipping.
@@Maxim.Teleguz however much you can afford..

Can you get a float of some kind and attach a rope to it? That way you can load up the float and get a lot of rocks back to your truck without killing yourself.
I walked the beach's today and found my first fist sized piece of Dallasite. Such an awesome beautiful stone.
Thankyou for sharing this on behalf of all the people living in areas with no rocks and no mountains! :P If i would live there i could do this all day too!
This stone, when cut, reminds me of the forests in BC! Gosh do I miss home.
Great vid!! Thanks so much for sharing, and also for showing us what the insides of some of the Dallasite look like! Gorgeous!
Wow those rocks look amazing when you cut them open definetly something special tthanks again dan
Happy Valentine’s Day, Dan!
I love watching you do what you love, Dan!
God bless you and your family
Loven life is what its all about Dan. Thanks for sharing your passion for gems, gold, and rocks in general. Positive people like you make the world a great place despite all the bad things we have to deal with.
I have walked along these Shores over my years I'm 62 years old I just walked right over these kinds of rocks all the time never gave it a thought but thank you for bringing it to my attention they're very beautiful rocks but I just let you go out and get them thank you for another good video I enjoyed watching it keep on getting those gems keep on getting those gold you're a busy man one more thing thank you for the teaching lessons good to see you being a teacher again 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙄😁😃🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑❣️💕
I grew up in Victoria and ran along that beach on Dallas Road a thousand times. Remember seeing Dallasite all the time, of course did not know what it was till now!
I'm in Nanaimo and am going to stop by there the next time I'm in Vic. Looking at the beach though it doesn't match what I remember of the beach off Beacon Hill park or the surrounding walkways. Is this actually a little northeast up the coastline?
@@earthvitalutube Exactly. It’s not near the dog park area but more towards the houses down on the left-hand side if you’re looking out on the ocean.
@@aaasports9898 awesome thanks
@@earthvitalutube I was just at Rathtrevor beach yesterday and found some really nice pieces of Dallasite as well as Flowestone and Jasper.
@@MindyMcHaffie it's all over the place isn't it! I'd still like to find outcrops of it in the hills, but haven't checked bout possible areas yet.
I love the GLOTD. Great stuff. I don't expect it, but a quick animation of what you're talking about would be the icing on the cake. As if you're not busy enough 🙂 🙃
I live on Vancouver Island. My grandchìld found one in our garden. I kept it cause it was pretty. Thanks for letting me know I have an eye.
You find the best treasures....
Thanks
Wow, thanks for the introduction to Dallasite!!!!! I'd LOVE to have a polished piece!!!!
You are so welcome!
Absolutely beautiful! I love thos channel especially the rock hunting. Thanks dan, wish i was there collecting and fishing.
You are amazing. I love your videos. Keep on collecting.😃
To avoid the long heavy trek back to the car with a full backpack collect rocks like a bee collects pollen. Bees Fly far away from the hive and collect pollen on their way back. By the time your backpack is heavy and full you will be close to your vehicle :) bees are so efficient!! Hard to resist walking over good finds though!
Oohh, DALLASITE!
that first dallasite you cut open looks like the Earth as seen from the space station. beautiful.
Here is a suggestion. When you do a round trip, mark the rocks you like on the way out. then collect them on the way back. Much easier walk, though you will lose a few, you won't break your back.
Use the flags they put in your yard, and take them home to be used again.
Ukraine flag 😂🤡
@@flyingpharoah4867 Dumb a$$ MAGAt 🥒🥒🥒🥒!
Orange spray paint
Always watching here from Philippines 🇵🇭 I love your Job❤️
Enjoy life to the fullest 😁
Beautiful stones! thank you, Dan
I love this dude! He radiates such awesome energy! 😁😁
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Neat rock.
Beautiful stones. I would love to see the whole super glue process. Always a true pleasure watching your videos. Thanks for todays geology lesson.
Dan suggestion for you; bring 2 pails fill one up halfway on your trip. Then take the other one to the end and work your way back with the other pail
My mom taught me to drive while Rock Hounding in the late 60's...to & fro sights within a 66 bug round trip from Vegas Baby, Vegas. Quartzsite to all around Lake Mead. NM with a fillup. Good times...just like you're having. 😀😀
💎
thanks
Very interesting...haven't seen dallasite before so was plesantly surprised at how beautiful it is. Thanks for the video. Throughly enjoyed.
Orange dallasite is amazing. My personal favourite is the deep dark green black and white dallasite! I have a special location for it out here. Hint, kinda not on the island but still on the island. Hahah
Wow, Dallasite is beautiful.
That's a very pretty stone I bet that it makes beautiful cabs thank you for sharing this with us six stars
Thank you for sharing the beautiful handy work of God...
And your hard work finding it...
Dan, I just love your exploration and I love your love for the hobby. I wish I could get over to where you guys are and Get like 900 buckets full of that stuff. I just love it.
Literally me, every single time I find good rocks… Bring two backpacks and put one on the front!! I get so weighed down, but it’s great exercise!!
Beautiful Dallasite!
Go Swimming Dan : ) I think i will stick to collecting Black Opals from Lightening Ridge Aust. Dan you need to get you one of those boston dynamics pack mule robots : ) to haul your stone cutter to the beach!!
So awesome I wish I could do that here.
I was “look at that cool rock. No the one next to that one no you left it ugh” sooooo funny
Just gorgeous, thanks for sharing!
I highly recommend a heavy duty garden cart (aka wagon). Saves the shoulders and the backpacks, They are ideal for beach combing on relatively flat ground.
Good job Dan !
Hello Dan. Vancouver Island. My favorite rock!
Everyone on Van Isl is proud of this rock!
Gandalf’s hat would not look out of place on your head, Dan. You are the geology wizard ‘round these parts after all.. 😉
Nice rock-hounding!
This stuff is awesome!
This makes me miss Lake Superior so much. I go up there every fall. I walk along the beaches and collect all the rocks I like. Such good times. Keep up these good videos.
Yes it's that easy go out onto any beach from Victoria all the way up to the north island, especially after a storm churns up the beach and you will find Dalasite.
I love your enthusiasm.
WOW those look just like homemade soaps you see at craft markets, Paulie was hiding down here in New Zealand for a while hunting gold with the abyss dredging boy's love your work bud much love and respect from New Zealand
The joy on your face finding those great stones is as good as looking at the awesome rocks you've found! You keep me smiling the whole episode. Thanks for sharing brother much love and respect from Colorado!🙏🍻
If you're worried about the bass from wind you can filter the audio signal post-production with a multibrand compressor. Just do it selectively on the clips that have really bad wind and cut the bass completely off. It'll still sound windy but there won't be that loud woof woof sound in the bass range.
Love watching your adventures. What a kool day. Fresh sea air and a scavenger hunt.
I know it’s way more of a pain when editing but I really like seeing the gems/agates cut as you pick them up like this instead of a compilation at the end.
Just love your enthusiasm!
What an amazing video! Thank you for introducing us to this gorgeous gemstone Dan. I also loved you showing us the slices as you found some of them. Best wishes from Scotland 🏴💎
Love your videos Dan, it is such a great source of positivity and joy.
I'm loving hearing the ocean sounds! It's so relaxing. Your music is also great.
Beautiful stones Dan.
soooo positive!!!!!thanks dan the man!!!
Uncharted territories.... OO DALLASITE!!!!
Annnnnnd CUT! 🔥
ya!
That was lovely Dan, thanks, I love it when you are out looking for other stones/gems
Wow, dallasite is so beautiful! I love the high contrasting colors of this semi-precious stone. 👍👍
These would make beautiful countertops😮
🤯I had never heard of dallasite before but, watching this video, I realized I already picked up a pretty neat-looking one several years back from a river here on Vancouver Island! Still have it among my collection of favorite rocks
I've lived on van isle for a while and have seen tons of dalasite not knowing it's technically a gemstone great to know, keep up your awesome prospecting!
Great video Dan, really interesting rocks. Enjoyed how you cut from picking up the rock, to showing that rock cut, thought that was a nice touch.
Thanks Patrons!
Love the episode Dan Hurd, you're doin an excellent job. Dallasite is looking beautiful. Keep up the great work man.
Great video and GLOTD...you answered many of the questions that were rolling around in my head. Hope you made it back without straining yourself! Thanks again for sharing with us
I’m on my way! 😂 the 4 slabs off that huge piece are gorgeous!
Excellent video thanks Dan! You are leading the charge in exposing the beauty of semi-precious gemstones in BC. Your "rock of the day" was hard to spot! Wonderful color in your video and enjoyed your geology lesson.
Crazy beautiful rocks. I was taught this kind of rock is an aggregate
@14:34 - true rock hounder fashion!!!
Happy to see more hounding!!!!
I love prospect, but have watched you most, for the hounding!!!
And more so now for the extended lapidary!!! My favorite!!!
Love your videos Dan!
Keeper goin'!!!
Gorgeous!!!
Loved the Dallasite video!
Spectacular!
Dan, the next time you go collecting Dallasite start from the furthest point and work your way back, so that by the time your backpack starts getting full you're already on your way out. i think your back will thank you also.
wow these were all so beautiful !!
I'm so jealous all we have down our beach is boring limestone with the occasion quartz seems and fossils your geology in B.C is amazing
Awesome thanks for sharing 👍
They look spectacular 😁
Thank You! I live in Colville and love to go up to BC and do the Rock Hounding. Thanks!!❤
