This winter we camped in the California wilderness and hunted for amethyst crystals. We found a fresh pocket of some beautiful crystal specimen, check out how we did it!
I’ve been studying a lot for the past year, I also travel, and I’ve been studying your videos. This is the best and most inspiring video to me hehe, especially with your desert DJ 💜 if you need a fire spinner / crazy crystal lady to tag along plz let me know
It’s I trip that I found this! We put ads out on Craigslist but we get nothing but “sane Crystal ladies” replying! We’ve been looking to fill our “crazy Crystal lady that spins fire” position at our mountain parties in Southern California for months! 🎉Hmu!
I love your video I wish I be there doing just that collecting amethyst You guys are really having fun I like the fire pit ! I can’t do those things here in NYC 😞 the most I like is when you guys find one and everyone goes wowed 😆😆LOVE IT
A very cool place you found! I'm in Maryland not so much here at all. At least in a crystal form of any kind which I tend to be attracted to. You are very fortunate.....
Okay, but why don’t I have cool friends like this? Haha. I love how you guys hype each other up after every specimen is found. Also, how dope is it that y’all have your own desert DJ!?!? Time to join a Gem club! 😂 Although I’m not sure if I’ll find anyone local to go digging with. 😅
@@user-qb6it2vp4swithout a guide you’d likely never even find the exact spot anyways. Do you expect him to personally guide you to his hunting ground too, or just hand you gps coords and hope they aren’t scrambled being too close to the naval jamming at pyramid lake? Go on mindat and search for amethysts, stay off other people’s claims, and good luck.
I was wondering also, so I scrolled down all the posts and I found someone that answered the question. It's at Petersen Mountain in Washoe County, Nevada. Not in California at all, just near the border.
Those are so amazing! Do you have any suggestions on how you're doing the cleaning? There are so many thin crystals in your finds, I would be afraid to break them!
Ok we set to be there May 19-22, would a side-by-side help one assist getting it back there better? And do you wanna come with? We still have the Reno hallelujah on the 25th ,but we’re gonna come there first🥰 so excited. Hope we’re able to meet up because when we go north, I would like to stop at your rose quartz claim. Hope you will at least give us permission to check it out. ❤
Beautiful points boys! Amazing when you find them you can’t even tell it’s a point when it’s dirty! Where bout in so cal are you guys? I’d love to explore the are as I’m a neoghbor!
This is so cool! was it somewhere in social? love the ending of the video lol! I would like to try to find Amethyst myself. Where would you recommend to go? I live in Vista CA. Thanks in advance!
You’ve inspired me to start rock hounding and mining for amethyst. I started doing research on rocks and am trying to understand everything. You’re video is seriously awesome and I’m stoked for all your finds! I feel like I have so many questions for you!!! But I guess what makes you pick a spot? And I’m assuming this is Southern California? Sorry I’m still new at this
Im so glad! biggest lessons : bring friends and two vehicles in case you get stuck. alot of these places are way out there. also join you local gem club. theres a bunch of them. they go on trips all the time to places that will have gems and minerals. these videos make it look really easy, its quite difficult! happy gem hunting! nothing like it!
@@CaliforniaJewels ohhhh thanks for the advice! I’m going to look up some local gem clubs! And you make it look very easy but I know it’s not. My boyfriend and I went hunting for geodes a bit off path and we’re on day 3 of picking the tics off of us and our dog. But thank you so much for the reply! I wish you all the best in your future gem hunting
Hey brother just watching your show wondering how come you guys never go hunting 4 rubies in California myself and an old man that used to always be there in Royal Seco campgrounds used to go along the river and find little rubies he hunted up and down the Mountainside for the main vein that these things were coming out of I've only found one myself but the old man had a whole jar full of them
ive heard about that, a friend of mine has been. says over the years its been over grown with poison oak. i guess if youre immune, then its all yours!!
Was this public or private? I'm looking for public spots to do my first dig in the central and north locations but all I've found through searching is southern California public sites. :/ Are there any that you know of from central up? Or possibly east Nevada? (I know there are a few public dig sites in Nevada but was wondering what you would recommend for a first time traveler.)
Where is this located? Is this somewhere you guys found or is it a paid site? Headed to San Francisco this summer for business and wants to do some gem hunting in California
Great finds! I'm looking to go amethyst hunting soon myself. Obviously it'd be bad form to ask exactly where this is, but could I get the general region? I'm in the Bay Area and most of the best spots for any kind of gem seem to be in Southern CA, so if this is closer to me that would be really great. If not, any reccomendations for spots around here?
It's everywhere. There is so much of this stuff people make ashtrays out of it. What you really want is Gold. It's there too. Those guys are skipping the gold because these crystals are easy to find and less work. You don't know if this amethysts is clear and has inclusions. You can see that it is mostly white with just a little purple in the tips, which is not the high quality type. Look how cloudy it is and look how the color it not uniform. High valued amethyst is clear and one solid deep purple color. And these guys are getting so excited. lol Some Gem experts please let me know if I am wrong about this. If you could make huge profits from this stuff, there would be a mining company protecting the site with fences and guards and be working it 24 hours a day. What did they show at the end of the video? a DJ? Most rockhound videos show a full shot of the days haul. But if you want to spend a day or two looking for these rocks, they are still nice to look at and put on the coffee table. Here are some clues for you... Quartz Hill, Barstow, Panamint Valley, Garlock, Rosamond, Silver Queen Mine, Boron, Ransburg. These are just some parts of North L.A. and West Kern counties that I know personally. There are many more places to get good gems of different kinds all over the World. Join a prospecting club and you will get more information than you can use. They will take you to their claims.
El Dorado County. I'm new to the bay and just found crystals there yesterday. I'm always down to rockhound with fellow hounds n share my honey holes. Minerals for everyone!
👋 hey 😊 where exactly is this place in California? I’m from California and my kids saw ur video and now there like…”we want to go there mom!!!” 😂😂 I was hoping I can tell me exactly we’re this is…🤗 please
Yeah.....I've only ever seen one other person there. Fortunately the road is a beast so it keeps a lot of people out. Love this spot and yes the weather station does give it away. Was there back in November 2019.
I live in East Sonora. A buddy of mine found a couple of clusters years ago up near Kennedy Meadows. They are lighter colored than that, like almost pink colored. In other trips up there he said he only found bits and pieces. There are small white and pale yellow crystals and tiny quartz crystals layered with different minerals at the Cataract Quarry on Camp 9 Rd. in Calaveras County. All of it is fragile. If you go there, be warned though. People go there for target practice. You never know where they are going to set up and which direction they will be shooting. Technically, it was shut down for shooting by the county because a rancher who runs cattle back there had 2 of his cow critters shot. But some people still go there. We used to go there at least once a month and burn through some ammo. According to a buddy of mine who used to work for Calaveras County, that whole area is still owned by Heidelberg Cement, so technically, you could be cited for trespassing if some deputy is feeling froggy that day.
not just anywhere. theres lots of old books and info on the internet about where you can find gems and crystals. its best to go with a group and ideally have a offroad vehicle. If I was you, I would join your local gem and mineral club. super nerdy but super cool!! they'll be able to tell you best places to go nearby.

Sad day for old California.
Are these valuable?
But where though
Didn't a fire go through here or am I mistaken
One question. Are you near the same area as you were in your COVID video ?
Most likey a cave where that fern is growing
How do you know where in the dirt to dig? Any tell tale signs?
Crystals growing along with rocks follow the roots im bit confused to what they find is is worth alot ?
Quartz veins, in this case inside granite
what do you use to clean them?
a fabric cleaning gun, and soaking in Oxylic acid for several days. same as cleaning quartz crystals
Where is it?
Looks near to arroyo Seco
As for now this video has a lucky 777 likes
are you selling any of these????
