    Hey Brian, thank you for this video. It hit me in a different way than it would most. I spent a lot of time digging that same bench and cave, and pulled more red beryl than most can dream of. It's where i became interested in minerals in more than just a prospect for capital gain. I made life long friends there, and it has taken my life down some beautiful roads.
    I vended with Nico in Tucson in 2020, and after that, everything changed. I haven't been out mining with friends or vending the big shows in 3 years!. I've been stuck at a 9 to 5 trying to figure out why the hell I'm not out living my life to the fullest, and seeing this video kind of hit me like a reminder of the life i was living, and how much i truly loved it.
    Sorry if this is too long and it didn't get read, but i wanted to thank you for sharing this journey. I hope someday i can meet up with you guys. You don't know me, but Nico does. He was trying to get me to come out to his mines in CO back in 2020 before my vehicle broke down and I rooted myself here in AZ. I finally got a truck and a plan to uproot myself and get back to doing what I love. Happy mining buddy ❤

    Hi Bryan, well that looks like a pretty hectic trek up to that cave area and what a result, great looking Topaz and some “cherries on the top of the cake with those red beryls. Pretty good having the camping couple around as well, especially “Robo Rockhound” Frank, 🤣🤣

    Thank you for bringing us along. :D I have good balance, and I can climb, but I don't have cave mining experience beyond gold panning and pulling stuff out of hillsides. I'd love to go, but my lack of experience means that I can't. Seeing these beautiful gems unearthed was amazing.

  • @largent45

  • @williamogilvie6909
    @williamogilvie6909 9 месяцев назад

    I could have done that climb 20 years ago, but I don't see anything big. My favorite spot is the Beryl Pit in Ontario. The beryl is different shades of blue. Very large beryl crystals were found there in the past. Many other interesting stones there as well - smoky quartz, tourmaline, amazonite, etc. The hike to the site is easy.

  • @jcarry5214
    @jcarry5214 Год назад

    Yeah when you drive up to Topaz you look at the hill and think oh, that's not too bad. Then you start up the steep part and it's dizzying. It would be SO EASY to get really, really hurt. I appreciate your warnings. I also found my first scorpion there. With my hand.
    You can have a ball looking around in the flats for loose crystals, they're quite literally everywhere.

  • @Jlind9335

    Great video, Bryan! Were those Muddy Miner sarucas you were using, out of curiosity?
    That matrix material looks kind of chalky/powdery, and seems like it breaks apart easy enough with a little "persuasion".
    If I am ever in that area, I'll definitely have to check it out! Thanks for the upload!!
