My mom is a geologist and digs and traveling is so much fun ( we do more fossils) I grew up doing stuff like this across America. All rocks and crystals have a story and each is a surprise coming out.
Deeply and profoundly jealous. I used to live for the hunt; worked and saved and invested my entire adult life so after retirement I could hunt and pick where ever I wanted, whenever I wanted. But two things happened...a divorce left me destitute, and arthritis has me about a year from being in a wheelchair. I'm back to where I started at the age of four, picking lakers on gravel roads in rural Minnesota. The only thing missing is my dad, but I can still hear him say "Good find, Sunshine!" whenever I found a good one. The only reason he took me with was because I was "built closer to the ground" and could find them easier.
Rtsy Frtsy ....Well, I wish I could discern if you were male or female but I do think that I have enough sense to figure out that you seem like a decent human being. That said, we have both been similar victims in both body and spirit and I would like to offer you an opportunity to come to NC where I am and do a little hunting around here. Sometimes I just go to a local place that has places where one can dig in the hills or just spend time in the cool streams and find amazing things in the sand or under rocks. I generally don a swimsuit and choose the water...it's a long day in the sun and shade which costs me $8...there is an area for one to bring their picnic lunches, even portable grills next to the restrooms. I use handicapped parking so that gets me very close to everything. Most people that have gone with me, especially my daughters, get ores within an hour while I am good to go for the day! Fair warning...even though my body doesn't always cooperate, I still stay mostly because I'm stubborn. It's something I can do alone or with company which seldom is the case. I am a Christian and made the decision that when my husband left, to concentrate on raising my daughter and my faith, rather than dating. I have gotten used to having the remote all to myself so dating just isn't terribly appealing. If you are interested and think that you can get to NC (near Winston-Salem), you are welcome to stay in my spare room and I will provide food as well.

I love the way he talks about the crystals and the way he talks to the other people! I also really love crystals and I hope that one day I can do stuff like this, too!
Thanks🙌🙏. It’s such a joy to be involved with these crystals for this short time I’m here! You should go digging, crystals are all over the world!! 💎💎💎💎
Spoken like a real Ork/Euro/Hybrid/Barely Hueman bein, Great Comment on my earths crystals who would ever known you Orks damaging the earth not healing it👍🏾
This video is an oldie but a goodie! I still hold out that The Ellis Mine produces some of the deepest and most lustrous amethyst in America. Just gorgeous. By the way, it was a video by The Crystal Collector at this mine that started my quest for minerals and stones like this. Thank you for that Bryan!!
How beautiful & the Blues!, & the deep purples & pinks, too! Wow, here we go America! & not Brazil! Thank U Crystal Collector, from Jason's Mom. I've been following U for awhile from California. I mine not only gold & platinum here, but sapphire, ruby, topaz& even diamond sometimes! Go, go, go!
The Crystal Collector You watch Steven universe? I think you would like it because 99% of the plot is about alien living rocks and 1% is about a random 14 year old, lol
This would be a childhood dream come true to dig for amethyst like these. How incredible. Ever since I watched the dwarves in Snow White mine for diamonds I was obsessed with digging for rocks, the beauty of crystals, and the excitement of finding treasure.
in this comment section you'll see: 50% steven universe fans 20% just random guys that found this video in reccommendations 30%actual suscribers from this guy
Some locations are open to the public, and in the future I will be opening other locations myself, stay tuned and check out my Facebook and Instagram page “The Crystal collector” for updated
I’m hoping to do public digs in the future at new location, in this location actually does them a few times a year, Jackson’s crossroads, you can find it on Facebook 💎🙌
lucky you, just get a jeep and go on a camping trip, you have huge deserts filled with gems.. queensland has lots of amethysts and opals as far as i know..
Rattanarerg Onyaem at some point all commercial mines over time become cost prohibitive to mine. That dose the mean that the mine is played out, it simply means that the cost of continuing to try to pull the commodity ( Mineral, metal, etc) costs nearly as much if not more than it's worth on the open market. It's all about the return on the investment.
I live in Ohio, and LOVE collecting rocks of all kinds. I've been collecting rocks every since I could walk and go outside. In my part of Ohio, the only crystals I can find are different variations of quartz. Some quartz I find are full crystals, and most are bunches of crystals together to make one big rock, and some of them have tints of blue or purple. I wish I could find things like this around my house. However, my fields do have some fossilized coral in them.
Mr. Deleted - mrdeleted.com "EX-Amish Guy" This is like metal detecting n such id say by your comments this is not for you it's not that simple it's always a guessing game and luck
Being military, we were once stationed in SC. I LOVE amethysts; my favorite color & it's my birthstone. I've ALWAYS wanted to go do something like this but never had the chance nor do I even know how it works. Do you pay someone for entry? Then what, do they keep what you find or do you have to pay again according to what you find? Is there anywhere common everyday people can go hunt, find & keep their finds? Seems like no matter what someone else owns it and unless you have a fortune, you're out of luck. What about on the private land you were on, how did you get to do that? Or would you even be willing to share any info so we can do it too?
I was just watching Steven Universe and I was like heck let's watch lots of diamonds documentaries so yeah curiosity got the best of us plus we learned something new lol (now I can find my own Amethyst)
Whitney McQueen yes, if your on Facebook you can find my channel “the crystal collector” there I post digs when I have them and will be posting more on the future if dig locations all over
I didn't know this was a thing.. but now I really wanna do it. I used to buy gems and stones when I was like 12, but the interest never left I guess :)
Oh 😳 my... Big difference between public digs and hunting... I gravitate to more remote areas but this is a great way to introduce ALL to just some of the magic our planet possesses 😋
it seems to unreal that you can just walk up and pick them from the dirt, i also saw topaz mining in topaz mountain and they also just walk up and pick them from the rock. i wish i had a place like that where i live but its flat and only calcium in Denmark ( Europe ) and no gem stones in my contry
At this location they had been previously mining with a large machine then it rained on the tailings, that’s why they were sitting around so easily to be picked up. Sometimes you get these occasions like this but not always
darkknight1011 Music/Gaming Not enough to retire.When hoards of people are finding so much of basiclly the same thing the price will go down even more.Good ole supply & demand .But hell it's a lotta fun ain't it..........

Do you get to keep them from the public Cross Roads site? Or do you pay for them? Like picking strawberries?
You get to keep most of them unless you find one over $500, I think that’s how they do it there now. This is only at this location that they make you share the piece if you find one that’s too good. Most locations it keep what you find
6 лет назад+6
The Crystal Collector That’s amazing, how very generous of them to allow you to keep them! Goodness, we can only dream of such a thing here in England, everything is either owned by the toffs, or private property (keep out!). The public here would never have such freedom to hunt for jewels and keep them for free; you are very lucky!
hi! as just a regular gal who would love to try an get into crystal hunting to sell, what are the steps to do so? as far as going to mines, whats the etiquette? do you have to pay to go to mines? or is this all just you-gotta-know-someone? if you could make a video or even just reply to me i would really appreciate it. i'm gonna be in south carolina in july and would LOVE to try to go to some mines. please get back :) thank you!
Aly Sortwell these are great questions, but also questions that can be googled very quickly, all mines require a fee, but it depends on the mine if you pay for admission, tools, by the bucket, or weight, etc. ♡
Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm actually unsure about that mine. It may be private property but no longer advertised as mine open to the public. It could be worth finding a phone number or Google review on the mine. Sometimes they will post an update there since it's free to tell you the status! ♡ I hope you figure it out, it may involve some connections to get in there 😂
This is a public operation. These gems were probably brought to the surface by machinery for people to feel like they're "mining". Ordinarily gems aren't that easy to find, especially these beautiful dark amethysts.
I need to visit America for this!!! It'd be such a great hobby because I love stuff like this 😍 I wanted to be an archaeologist when I was little, I know it's not the same thing but the world is full of hidden treasures, it's fascinating 😊
I know it sounds crazy, but I'd much rather be diggin for amethyst then staying at a four-star hotel or resort for vacation! lol This looks awesome!!
So true...
Yes
If i could i would teleport me right now right into Georgia
4 star is ass
Super Annie Oakley same
These people are all so nice and friendly.
Im not sure why but it is very satisfying how they find the beauty in each and all of the gemstones they found
Stop
My mom is a geologist and digs and traveling is so much fun ( we do more fossils) I grew up doing stuff like this across America. All rocks and crystals have a story and each is a surprise coming out.
That's sounds amazing!!!
This is like Easter egg hunting but like, 20 thousand times better
Same! Trillions time better than regular Easter hunts! I love those type gems too!
how much would it cost if you sell it? 🤔
Omg coooll af
Indeed and way more fun!

Crystal digging is my new pimple popping
why is this not more popular
But shark teeth finding is also satisfying
Why XD
Lol, that's hilarious!

I live in the Bay Area this shit is a dead hobby here but I still try to do it but you can’t really find shit in nor cal😭
I’m a New Yorker. I have decided to move south just for this.
The amazing positivity that you give off with every find, even with the tiniest of crystals is so uplifting.

Rtsy Frtsy Glad you can still search for things, maybe there are locations near you to dig or maybe travel. Arkansas is really fun and easy to dig.
Rtsy Frtsy that's so sad , im sorry for you.
Rtsy Frtsy You haven't stopped the dream if you're still pondering about it. The only thing left is to be brave and go out to do it.
Rtsy Frtsy ....Well, I wish I could discern if you were male or female but I do think that I have enough sense to figure out that you seem like a decent human being.
That said, we have both been similar victims in both body and spirit and I would like to offer you an opportunity to come to NC where I am and do a little hunting around here. Sometimes I just go to a local place that has places where one can dig in the hills or just spend time in the cool streams and find amazing things in the sand or under rocks.

If you are interested and think that you can get to NC (near Winston-Salem), you are welcome to stay in my spare room and I will provide food as well. It would be nice to have someone to cook for but I'm afraid steaks are not on the menu because of the budget. Pretty much anything else though...even an occasional pot roast.

You can dig for fire opals at the Royal Peacock mine in Nevada- for a fee of course.

Interesting! I should try this kinda thing sometime. Love your choice of intro music XD!
I always assumed crystals like that are only found in random geodes or underground mines.
Yes me too for many years! I remember going to my first mine and seeing how close to the surface they can be; it’s really amazing!

Yeah people pay $ for it when they can drive there and pick as many as they want lol

Can you just go to the mines or do you need permission
The first location is private the second can be found under "Jacksons Crossroads Amethyst Mine" on Facebook
What are the dig fees?
Also, how much can one expect from such a dig? I saw your ebay, but how often do you actually sell items for 4-5 figures on there?

Do you get to keep them from the public Cross Roads site? Or do you pay for them? Like picking strawberries?
You get to keep most of them unless you find one over $500, I think that’s how they do it there now. This is only at this location that they make you share the piece if you find one that’s too good. Most locations it keep what you find
The Crystal Collector That’s amazing, how very generous of them to allow you to keep them! Goodness, we can only dream of such a thing here in England, everything is either owned by the toffs, or private property (keep out!). The public here would never have such freedom to hunt for jewels and keep them for free; you are very lucky!
Where is this place at? What is it called? I want to go....
Oh myyy~!!! I would love to go there and pick the crystals!! They’re so amazing!!!
Ayyyyyyy my birth stone
hi! as just a regular gal who would love to try an get into crystal hunting to sell, what are the steps to do so? as far as going to mines, whats the etiquette? do you have to pay to go to mines? or is this all just you-gotta-know-someone? if you could make a video or even just reply to me i would really appreciate it. i'm gonna be in south carolina in july and would LOVE to try to go to some mines. please get back :) thank you!
Aly Sortwell SAME
Aly Sortwell these are great questions, but also questions that can be googled very quickly, all mines require a fee, but it depends on the mine if you pay for admission, tools, by the bucket, or weight, etc. ♡
right after i posted this i did do a little research and it helped a lot, thank you so much :)
however i kind of meant Ellis Mine particularly, theres no website and it looks like it got shut down years ago. so im still curious about that
Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm actually unsure about that mine. It may be private property but no longer advertised as mine open to the public. It could be worth finding a phone number or Google review on the mine. Sometimes they will post an update there since it's free to tell you the status! ♡ I hope you figure it out, it may involve some connections to get in there 😂
is this for real???? the crystals are just in the mud soil?????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I doubt it
Yeah, but not all, and not always.
Larry Lumlum they only form in certain conditions so don't expect to find some in your backyard
Larry Lumlum. At locations like this they use machines to dig deep and then they make manmade dunes you can pick through
This is a public operation. These gems were probably brought to the surface by machinery for people to feel like they're "mining". Ordinarily gems aren't that easy to find, especially these beautiful dark amethysts.
I need to visit America for this!!! It'd be such a great hobby because I love stuff like this 😍 I wanted to be an archaeologist when I was little, I know it's not the same thing but the world is full of hidden treasures, it's fascinating 😊
Yes, I would make a visit! Digging Krystal is in looking for them it’s so much fun🙌💎🙏🙏💜💜🙌💎🙌
Man I want one of these amethyst
Likewise need to find a place in BC to start hunting!

I love Steven Universe.
And I think that the comment section does too.
I live in Rome, Georgia and I am so thrilled to know there is such a cool place to prospect in my state!
I found jasper in Thomasville the other day!!
WE ARE THE CRYSTAL GEMS
