    Its great to see the children finding crystals and having a great time, my late Dad would have loved to go through the piles of rocks looking for crystals. The size of some of them shows that how large and small they can be. Thank you for another wonderful video Bryan. Take care my friend and good luck Mary-Ellen UK

    I grew up climbing in places here in the UK that have similar super clear quartz. We would come out climbing every weekend if it wasn't snowing and not raining enough to stop us getting a grip on the rock. On Gritstone that wasn't a problem, on Limestone, Shale and Slate it can, and did, rip our fingers up as kids.
    We didn't even have to dig much, there was nearly always some kind of mineral deposit nearby. We found many pieces in the rivers and steams around us from the small old mines throughout the area. Crystals would get thrown out with the spoil accidentally and rocks would end up in rivers, break apart and the crystals inside spread downstream. I love watching these videos, very nostalgic memories pop up.
    Have any of you come across Blue John before?

    • @mezellenjohnson2753
      @mezellenjohnson2753 5 лет назад

      I'm in the UK and years ago my husband took me to the Blue John mine and brought me a lovely piece. I couldn't go in the mine as I was on crutches but loved every moment of the time we spent there. You sound like you had great fun when you were younger. It's either clay or sand and gravel where we live sadly, take care friend Mary-Ellen

Never have found a palmer though, because I have never tried the wall. Look foward to seeing you there sometime on a weekend before it closes in October. Let me know if you will be there on a weekend again, and I will say hi. Thanks, and take care, Kevin.

      @emmestarla3306 5 лет назад

      The reason why they are called Herkimer diamonds is because they found the first ones in Herkimer New York. Then. They are called “diamonds” because they have double teriminated ends which makes them unique and Herkimer diamonds. I went near by to this location and we found some. Definitely a good time.

      Bonnie Barto
      The Herkimer Diamond began forming nearly 500 million years ago in pockets within a sedimentary rock called Dolostone (Dolomite + Limestone). ... When these plants and other sea life would decompose under the rock, they release gases, and this gas is what formed the “pocket.”
