  • Peridot! Sarah is the all time winner of the biggest gemstone found on my Peridot claim. And not only did she find one big stone, she found a pocket FULL of BIG GEMSTONES. Congrats Sarah.
    Sarah and Bryson Joined me on a trip into the paridot claim to help me recover a bunch of medium to small crystals to fill my peridot grab bags and alo to create my Christmas special paydirt bags. But while we were harvesting small crystals we stumbled onto some really big gemmy gemstones as well. Made for a fun exciting trip.

    I felt that I just had to comment. I came across the channel by accident but have been glued to it since. Love the humour as well as the presentation style. I'm hoping that at some point you might do a basic geology lesson for us numpties who know nothing. I must admit to looking at the website and toying with how I would work a claim.... I'm a hotelier in the Cotswolds in the UK, so quite how I thought I could make that happen is beyond me. My dream moment was short lived but if you ever did a working learning break for people I'd love to learn more. Its absolutely fascinating.

    Dan next time you are drilling Basalt vacuum up the dust and mix it with water and put it on house plants, fruit trees and the vegetable garden if you have one. The point to this experiment is that basalt is rich in the trace elements plants need and it is very good for plant growth. You might find that it could be a new source of income if you could crush and grind basalt to a powder.
