Hi

[@sandrajones1609]

Great that you include children and give them an opportunity to discover what a magical planet we all landed on! U R aWeSoMe and your enthusiasm is infectious ❣️

[@reugerlyon9271]

My daughter and me absolutely love your videos. She's 1 1/2 and whenever I say "wanna watch the new crystal collector video?" She drops whatever she is doing and runs over and crawls in my lap. Thank you for helping me make some cute memories with her. Maybe she will be inspired to be her own crystal collector when she's older:)

[@cristais_energypedraspreciosas]

Hi

[@pressaltf4forfreevbucks179]

Thats awesome. You should give her one of those geology magazines as a gift when she gets older. Thats what cultivated my intereat in the first place

[@DocSpratley33]

That is so cool! I love showing all my nieces and nephews these videos.

Only a half-hour drive from my doorstep. Looking forward to adventures at Little Pine this spring and summer. Thanks for another great video!

[@symanthaparker1453]

Matrix is SO freaking cute omg 😭❤️ and idk if it’s an old video or if it’s your haircut but you BOTH look like babies 😆😂 ps when Matrix barks at the horse - too funny! 🐴 haha it’s always the little pups with the most bark 😉🥰❤️

[@heidioppermann505]

Garnets are my daughter Christina's birthstone. Your videos have inspired us to be "easily distracted by rocks"! She actually found a stone with a garnet in it on a road in a business park nearby - confirmed by a jeweler! So exciting! Even in Westchester County, NY! Keep digging! Matrix is adorable . Love all your videos.

[@gregderksen1996]

Garnet be my birthstone. I’d love to travel there one day. Oh, and thanks for participating in the rockhound podcast the other day! that was a blast!

[@bobs-rocks]

So cool. Saw you on the podcast, vary cool. GeoRockNerd turned me on to your video at magdalina new mexico to the graphic mine. Added it to my list as I want to go to the kelly mine just a few miles away. Thanks for the videos. Rock On!

[@dianalee8512]

Matrix is adorable, he looks almost like a soft toy

[@lydiamashcka4362]

Wow those are really cool. I like how you leave most of the sides natural and then just polish one face of the stone because they are sooo interesting to look at with all of the pebbly surfaces.

[@adampryor1289]

That's crazy!!! I was just up there yesterday. Had the whole place to myself. Found some awesome garnets. Looks like y'all made out pretty well too.

[@girlnextdoor369]

Both you and Matrix are so cute! I can’t stand it!! Whaaaat!!! I need a vacay to a garnet mine… POLISH IT! 🤪❤️

[@graemero5532]

Great video Bryan, I found garnets on a mountain here in Scotland around fifteen year ago. They were a lot smaller than those whoppers, but they are very clear and gemmy, like red rock candy.

[@michellebrewer9373]

I love the geometrical shape of them!! So cool! I love the idea to have horseback riding as well:)

My wife , kids and I went out to little Pine late last year . I brought back 7 big garnets. Most are semi polished now. We chose there based on your previous video on the place. Loved it.

Hiya Brian, hey you cut your hair, I watched the podcast you were on with my friends, that was pretty awesome, you had them shaking in their shoes with all the cool crystals you were bringing out, and all the cool stories about how you found them. I almost didn't recognize you on the podcast. It's been a long time since I've seen you with your hair cut short, nice! Awesome video, one day I want to return to S.C. I have relatives that still live there. I hope you have a awesome blessed day. Cya! 😺🐟 out!

[@CindysGems]

That’s the 1st time I’ve heard him bark.

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

Firstly before I forget, have you heard of Mary-Ellen Jasper? My youngest son has a shop and he had to wait a few months but he gave me 2 for my Christmas and Birthday present, they are such a deep purple/red they look either black or brown depending on the light. I'm thrilled with them, and he had to wait quite a while for them, I dont know where they come from but they are such a spectacular gift that I treasure. As for the garnets I think they look wonderful polished on part of them and the rest natural. Matrix had me chuckling when he barked at the horse, and that was a beauty. I always wanted to learn but could never afford to when I was able sadly but I can get great pleasure in watching them. I'm glad you had lovely weather for your days digging and everyone enjoyed themselves, thank you for filming it Bryan. Take care and stay safe please my friend God bless you and Matrix, love and hugs Mary-Ellen UK

[@cristais_energypedraspreciosas]

Hi

[@TheCrystalCollector]

I have not heard of Mary Ellen Jasper. Sounds like it’s very beautiful!! Yea when matrix barked at the horse I had to grab him fast, lol. I didn’t want that horse to stomp him!! Matrix doesn’t realize how small he is sometimes 😆 God bless you and your family too 🙌🙏💜 Always love to hear from you!!

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

@@TheCrystalCollector Matrix is a very brave little man, one of my late dogs wouldn't let any animal, bird or even an insect near me without me having to grab him, but out with my sons he would play with other dogs and ignore bigger animals. Matrix was probably trying to protect you Bryan bless him. I love to hear from you yoo sweetheart love and hugs Mary-Ellen

[@jeanneamato8278]

I love natural gems.

[@valiantwarrior4517]

A sandy bottom is uncomfy. I found that out at Huntington Beach. I have mixed thoughts about whether I would polish a big one like that or not. Usually I like to keep things in their natural state, but in this case, you can’t even really see the crystal or it’s true color. Tough choice. Thanks for the video, Lord Brian! Looks like it was another fun Crystal Clubhouse adventure.

[@Arkved1978]

I'd personally polish some, and leave some in their natural form, and display them side by side so people can see what it looks like in the wild and what it looks like when it's been worked on.

[@valiantwarrior4517]

@@Arkved1978 That’s a great idea. He could polish some of the smaller ones from the same location and leave the biggest one as-is. 🙌🏻

[@pebblesredjackson]

Hello 👋. I would clean the garnet pieces to reveal that beautiful natural polish.

[@plantdesigns7889]

I'll have to check it out sometime. About 3 hours west of me.

[@KCoda1248]

Didn’t mean to hit send yet. I never thought much about garnets my whole life except it was our high school “school stone” most of us had in our school rings. Never thought about it at all back then - it just “was.” That is until I watched your garnet videos. Now I really want to go! I’ve also since found out it’s a favorite of one of my sisters! I wish she would make a trip with me but she’d never leave her two chihuahuas for more than a handful of hours.

I would polish half of the sides, to see the beauty of the inside aswell as outside

[@TheIdahogrl]

Come to Idaho, Idaho Star Garnet. And then Spencer Opal mines.

[@MrSbfan2000]

Use to go there all the time. Always found the best inside the mine and being that I'm a caver I really enjoyed getting underground no matter how shallow. Once they closed the shaft (Due to a dunce collapsing a small section onto himself) I lost all interest. If they ever open the shaft back up I'll be back.

[@kxrv6629]

Fascinated by the pegmatites in the area with so many fake roadside gem mining operations in the area. Found out about this place the summer of 2020 when so much was shut down. Maybe I’ll make it this year. Thx for the reminder!

[@dalekline3612]

I would polish them all. When I think of a garnet, it's a shiny colored stone. Btw, the hair cut looks great. You look about 10 years younger.

I love your vids on crystals but what got me was the arkansas one where you could dig out tbe huge crystals but could not keep any of them. That was a bummer and i was wondering did they use people to get free labor saying you can dig but not keep?
