Digging and Cleaning Crystals

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Gotta say, this was filmed before any restrictions for social distancing came out. But I hope it brings some distraction from all the hecticness. Thinking of you all. And remember, this too shall pass. I just wish you well, I wish you health, I wish you happiness. We’re all in this together, even oceans apart. Keep safe my friends. 🙏

Hallo from the Netherlands. Crystals are indeed beautifull. I am 16 years old and I collect them fore over 8 years now. When crystals are still on the stone it grows on you call that stone the matrix. But I think you also got the crystal fever.

Beautiful video my dear.💕

[@withwingswefly2455]

When I watched the first video I saw of yours, I laughed out loud when you would verbalize your amazement of the rocks because it was so similar to my own reactions! After all, once a rock hound, always a rock hound! Besides sharing your innocent childlike wonder of the beauty of the natural world, your purity and goodness of spirit is so much appreciated in these days and times in which we are living. Keep on keeping on and peace from far, far away!

Your video is very nice. The crystals are very beautiful. I'm very blessed to still be working. there are so many businesses that are closed temporarily and permanently which is sad but it's something we all have to face. I wish you lots of fun in your adventures in rockhounding and crystal hunting adventures with Pauly and Benny. Keep doing your videos I really do enjoy them.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

lisa pavlescak Thank you Lisa, oh it’s so good to hear you’re still working. I’m in childcare and have been lucky enough to have retained some of my shifts. There’s so many who have lost their livelihood that it’s heart breaking, on top of the severe loss of lives. All the best to you and yours and I’m working on the next vid as we speak 😉😉

[@reginaldwigglebottom4731]

Hell yeah, you know it’s going to be a good day when the “dump” pile is full of crystals! It’s crazy when you realize those little beauties have been sitting in that clay and mud and stone for millions (billions?!) of years waiting for you to expose them to the light for the first time. Glad to see you are all doing well and staying healthy. Stay well, and happy hunting!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Reginald Wigglebottom Oh I know right, Pauly and I played in the tailings pile for ages, Benny jumped straight in the hole. I couldn’t believe what was just laying on the surface. I’m pretty sure this flow of Rhyolite that the crystals were in dates back 200 million years ago! 200,000,000 years!? 😳 just crazy isn’t it. Pretty lucky to be the first person to see one after so long hey. I hope you’re doing well also Reginald. Keep safe out there my friend.

[@MichiganRocks]

"gotta get a wiggle on" is a new one to me. I like it. I'd start using it myself, but I think I'd get some weird looks. "Hey class, the hour's almost over and some of you aren't done with your test yet. GET A WIGGLE ON!" Did I do that right? Oh, nice crystals. I'd need to bring my glasses to hunt those little guys.

[@allysonhean4204]

Mare, its get a wriggle on....in other words, get moving. Its an old aussie saying, like flat out like a lizard drinking....pull you head in.....more corners than a rubics cube!

[@MichiganRocks]

@@allysonhean4204 Thanks for the clarification. I'm sure we have our sayings here that would make Aussies scratch their heads. Do you know "high tail it"? As in, "I'm late, I better high tail it home!" I believe it comes from the fact that a white-tailed deer lifts it's tail to show the white underside when it runs away from danger. I'm pretty sure kangaroos don't lift their tails when they run.

[@allysonhean4204]

Yep, have heard " high tail it" . How about " a few roos loose in the top paddock"? Means a person is a bit silly if you get my meaning 😊 is michigan near the great lakes? Not sure about my geography

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Michigan Rocks hahaha! Allyson is right, but for some reason I’m our house, it’s “better get a wiggle on” haha! I think you used it perfectly though rob. Dude are you a teacher!? I’d love being in your classsss! I’m a childcare educator. I’m good at it cause I’m on the same brain wave length as the kids haha! Basically, getting paid to be a kid haha!

Beautiful. Beautiful. And beautiful. And with their size you won't have to build an addition onto your home to store your collection.

I have bowls and shells filled with double terminated quartz bits of remarkable clarity about the size of your finds. And some huge ones. I don't doubt that you'd find bigger ones there if you scratch around enough. Thank you for this video, Jesse. I always love your videos.

Ah brother, thanks for sharing another adventure!!! Am super grateful for any new content folks are posting right now and even though my free-time is exceptionally limited currently, am trying to catch up with everyone's new stuff whenever I get a few moments free!👍 Been working long hours the last 3 weeks - 74, 78, 72 to get everyone connected and working remotely from home at all our customers sites. Anyway, enough about the crud.... What a fun day of digging crystals buried in an eroding wall of clay for you gentlemen to share and enjoy, kinda reminds me of the crystal collectors claim except the formations are just a wee bit different eh? haha 🤦‍♂️ Most of the terminated quartz crystals i've been fortunate enough to stumble upon during my meanderings were formed in geodes with a little bit forming along seams, loose crystals just seems really very cool and they appeared to have very nice clarity and terminations! Another super day out for you Mr. B and Pauly to share with the rest of the world! Hope you are all well and staying sane, Best from the PNW my friend~

Hey did you see who won that big beautiful Carnellian Marlaina was giving away.😁 I was doing the River dance when I saw. Awesome👍

[@lostinspace7160]

Beautiful crystals but also a lovely sincere message at the end there,bless you🙏

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Thank you LIN, I just rewatched this and I really liked it haha! I don’t often watch my videos after I edit them, but that was fun 😊

[@timcarver5492]

Wishing you well too. My wife and I returned to Canada from Arizona 2 weeks ago with about 100 kg of rough material and we are just finishing up our required 14 day quarantine. I got my saw going and six tumblers. Hoping to start some polishing with diamond sanding pads soon. No need to go out anywhere. I don't think I'll be getting bored anytime soon. I love your videos, we are learning together. Stay safe & keep up the great work!

[@nikitovitch5113]

😍😍😍👌🏻 finally u made it and went hunting for crystals bet u enjoyed it man and that stuff is ( calcite ) the weird shaped one.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Nikito Vitch Oh man Nikito it was just so amazing to get to do this! I’m hooked! Haha!

[@EDLaw-wo5it]

We have a crystal dig about 150 miles east of us in Arkansaw. It is a paid dig but some fantastic specimens have been found. Man, those little clusters are beautiful as well as the singles. You will be looking at those in your old age and smiling. Havagudun my friend and stay safe.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Ah thank you! I love what you said about looking at them and smiling in my old age. I definitely will be 😉👍👍 Havagudun my friend!!!!

[@erikapearce1801]

Tiny crystals are my favourites 🥰 I'm obsessed with dt Tibetan quartz 💎💎💎

[@stinkygraykitty6808]

Such a nice change up to crystals! We've gone twice into Arkansas to crystal mine, both places gobs of crystals. Got a side by side 3 piece triple terminated, just neat.

[@RG-rl6hj]

Your excitement and reactions over every one are the same as me, how truly awesome these are!

[@AgateAngler]

Such a cool adventure as always. Thanks for sharing it!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Agate Angler Thanks mate! Looking forward to the hunt with Katydid!!

[@seachers6124]

Fully terminated quartz clusters... Beautiful . Sometimes the best way to see/show them is to hang em. Put a small light behind them and enjoy .

[@junarayangana2432]

Home quarantine for almost a month now, and finalllllly watching you guys digging those lovely crystals......took away my worries even just for a few minutes...take care and praying for the world... -frm Philippines with love.

[@pamelamack8278]

I live in Oregon and its rockhound country here and in my own driveway I have found bluelace agate and lots of crystals and I have and get as much joy and happiness when I find a gem .LOVE YOUR Videos!!!! God Bless

[@elwiwi-v1h]

Yes! Quartz!!!! I LOVE YOUR CHANNELLL!!!!!💓💓💓💓💓

[@islandnug9885]

Like kids in the candy store! Some lovely bits there mate and props on the clean up👍 sending healthy vibes

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Island Nug Hunters Hahaha absolutely! And thank you mate, sending healthy happy vibes to you and yours also my friend.

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Crystals really are fascinating. And to just pull them out of the mud like that is so cool. Thanks for a great video. Take care 💎

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Gwynn Farrell Oh Gwynn it was just so incredible to be able to do this. I never imagined how fun it would be. I was actually shaking for at least the first hour from excitement haha! Pauly thought it was hilarious 😂

[@YvonneSebastian1980]

Wiggle wiggle lmao..Hey Rookie...CRYSTALS!! YESSS!...peace AND take care of yourselves!!..

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Yvonne Sebastian haha! Hey Yvonne! Yeah that’s one of Carly’s sayings, “cmon better get a wiggle on” 😂 I hope you’re doing well my friend!!!

[@JayDrone]

I Rockhound crystals frequently

[@jeannettesmith5492]

From Northern California. USA,

[@cynergy4]

I noticed a hint of lavender when you were picking one up. Simply lovely! Herkimer and Lake County diamonds are simply named for the place that they are found, and are super clear quartz that resemble ice.

[@josephgirone3081]

As a Herkimer miner, I can tell you that Herkimers, only come from Herkimer, New York. The rest are just beautiful clear quartz crystals. Again, great video and stay safe.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Joseph Girone Ah yep haha! A couple people have mentioned that now, I never realised but it makes sense now. Man I’d love to dig them though! And thanks again mate. Take care over there!!!

[@josephgirone3081]

Check out some of the you tube videos on Herkimers. It's a lot of fun hunting for these babies. Bless you and your family as well as your mates. Stay safe and be strong.

[@donhamby1640]

I love your passion and enthusiasm.

[@anitamitchell3452]

"I'm just going to sit here and look at them." Yeah, I feel ya brother. "I've said beautiful too many times." That one made me laugh because I often tell myself the same thing. Someone needs to invent new words I suppose. I also like the words "thought provoking." Because looking at them takes your mind some where else. New sub Wishing you the best of it all.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Anita Mitchell Hey Anita, I love your comment haha! That’s rad, and thought provoking is spot on. I held the main one for sometimes up to 10 mins just looking at it and admiring it. They’re things of wonder hey. I’m so glad you subbed and I hope you enjoy the video. Hope to chat soon 👍😊

[@Bizz420]

Kids in a candy shop, lol. I don’t know if it’s the camera or angles but some are kinda purplish like amethyst. Also surprised you didn’t use any iron out to get the rust off. Some great thumbnail specimen

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Grassguy 420 Haha seriously like kids in a candu shop, I was shaking from excitement the first hour haha! Yeah so they have a lilac colour. It’s hard to see it but it’s definitely there. So the stuff we have out here in Australia is the rust remover I used. It’s like an Australian version of iron out. 😉👍👍👍

[@colinmerriman5890]

Frothing on the crystals you guys have found 🤤. Can't wait for this virus to pass, so keen to head out for a rock hunt once life is returned to normal. Hope you and your family stay safe!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Colin Merriman Yeah I do can’t wait to get back out mate. Hope you’re keeping well and not goin stir crazy bud 👍👍👍

[@ccccarriemchardy9216]

Beautiful Citrines (yellow ones) and smoky quartz (brown ones) and chalcedony druzy

[@barbarawisdom56]

They would make so pretty jewley

[@ridgerunner66]

Those are crazy cool. Thanks for showing us. Glad you and yours are well. Stay safe. Davin

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Davin Kates It’s an absolute pleasure mate. Hope you’re keeping well 👍

[@อานนท์จอสูงเนิน]

It's just like my dream!!

[@aurorasalinas1215]

Loved them. But u did not show the one with the tiny one busting out of the lager one which you showed during the hunt.

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Aurora Salinas Haha! Oh no sorry aurora! If you mean the yellow one, it ended up being clear and was the very last one I showed after cleaning up. It ended up being my favourite. And then after filming I dropped it 🤦‍♂️ such is life I guess.

[@shanevonharten3100]

Ive found truck wash very useful for dissolving dirt from rocks etc, its what its designed to do. Nice crystals 👍

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Shane Von Harten Aye that sounds perfect 👍

[@darlabuchmeier135]

Really enjoyed your share and wish for good health right back at you

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Darla Buchmeier Thank you Darla!

[@dregano7499]

lovely crystals. this will pass, stay safe. :)

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

denise regan Yeah, it will you stay safe also Denise.

[@EDLaw-mf9vm]

Si guess I missed this one. They look like our Arkansas crystals. Beautiful. The clay even looks the same. Great finds. Even some scepters in there. Havagudun mate.

[@stellabelikiewicz1523]

This makes me think of a video I once watched about growing crystals. The host was from Eastern Europe and had a fantastic accent, and at the end of the video, as he was about to reveal what he’d grown, he said, “I inwite you to obsaerve my impraysive creestal!”
