  • The Cardwell mining team kicks off a new season with big ambitions. With only a 60 day mining window, the crew rushes to open up aquamarine and topaz pockets on the North and South Face. They also race to carve out a new road to the Snow Patch, giving them unprecedented mining access with the excavator.

      We can propel them financially for all the education by liking and commenting on each of their videos. That's how they get elevated by RUclips and their paychecks get bigger. It's my small contribution for all the great content.

    Good to see another episode!
    Hey, note on the topaz....Brazilian topaz does not fade like the US material, Ive never seen a reason why. And 'sherry' topaz is much, much darker than that seen here, a gorgeous red-brown with gold highlights and enough fire to make you wet your pants. The color shown here is closer to imperial, a peachy gold.
    Dont mean to nitpick, but topaz is my favorite stone. 😁

      @athenawilson4019 Год назад

      I've long wondered why they don't use such a system. It's not like they would have to carry water up the mountain...rain, ice, and snow should provide more than enough, a few cisterns dug at the upper elevations could gravity feed pretty much anywhere below. Water dug the Grand Canyon...its use in mining is long established. And water won't shatter delicate crystals or crystal formations. Solar should provide enough power for a circulating pump.

    This time you forget to mention the price of aqua witch you are finding there. When you show how you find the gem and how much its worth. It looks very cool. Thanks for the amazing video
