Dangerous, but rewarding. Prospecting for Rhodonite.

[@whittlesstone]

Dan, having the opportunity to go out with you was amazing! We were able to see first-hand how creative you are in terms of teaching. You answer questions that haven't been asked yet in the moment - that is talent. You are enthusiastic, fun, and great to be out with. The rocks you cut turned out wonderful. Thank you so much! You were our inspiration to go on youtube!

[@mikeblair2594]

Hey Jack, I've a question. Can Rhodonite be a deeper red or purple? Just a question that popped into my head.

[@larryhaynes7298]

That peice at the end was epic looked like a blurry set of masts from old. Sailed war ships❤

[@pianochannel100]

Very nice of you guys to let Dan come out and film on your claim

[@FERNANDOSORGETZ]

Congratulations from Brazil, nest of agates.

[@CindysGems]

⭐️⭐️⭐️Seeing the three of you collaborate together is perfect match‼️‼️‼️👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bladed.i.6547]

In 1967, my family drove out to Vancouver Island on a cross-Canada summer holiday. Being a rockhound from early childhood, I wanted to look for rhodonite, and my parents indulged me. I remember Dad driving us up a narrow logging road, and we ended up at a remote fire-watch station. The ranger was so happy to see interested strangers that he showed us around, informed us that we were NOT at "Hill 60", but helped me find some samples of rhodonite, both bright pink, and a pretty sunny yellow colour! Thanks for the memories!

[@russellsmith3855]

It’s like pink picture stone !

[@emilybaumeister4980]

Absolutely beautiful

[@CindysGems]

👍🏻👍🏻 i’m so glad that you got to collaborate with this couple‼️‼️‼️

[@bobbysweeney5377]

[@SeanSpecker]

i was living on the island almost fifty years. will keep watching as i am not now. central B.C. now. cant wait to see what else you get. thanks Dan.

[@Rockingruvin]

Dan, you have some of the best outdoors videos... and your exuberance for your endeavors and your incredibly gracious and welcoming nature are solid gold!!! Nevermind the pun. Best on KZbin...👍👍👍

[@erroneous6947]

I have some rhodonite I cut decades ago. Didn’t know Vancouver island had deposits. Very cool.

[@joemama-xw1jh]

Some of the slabs look like what in my mind I’ve pictured the landscape looking like during the great oxidation event. Wild stuff!

[@randallmcclure9901]

You make the best friends.

[@lokoumi]

First cut example you show us looks like old sailing ships at harbour (see the masts) in a quiet bay come dusk. Nice!

[@HarbDeaf]

the favorite def looks like a picture😎👍

[@alexanderliapis5342]

My Rhodonite slab arrived in the mail today, and its astonishing!! thank you Mr. Hurd

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

When I initially scrolled past the thumbnail I thought it was an abstract painting of a harbor full of sailing ships.

[@steiner1942]

Looks like a marina full of sailboat masts at sunset...very cool

[@josephcormier5974]

Thank you for sharing this with us six stars my friends

[@sharynhay4872]

What a perfect companion to your ocean picture stone! I can see your exhibit of both all over the world. Fun stone.

[@MrPeteykins]

The banded stuff looks like abstract landscapes by Lionel Feininger. So beautiful.

[@benm8605]

The slab that you mentioned looks like trees looks a bit to me like a harbor full of sailboats. Beautiful piece! And great video, thanks for bringing us along as always Dan--

[@susanturcotte3176]

That's exactly what I saw on the specimen! A harbor full of boats, was the tall masts, with the setting sun.

[@Menabastet]

That's what I saw in it too! It was just the most amazing one in the pile.

[@beforethunder4987]

I agree, looked like an oil painting. Just a beautiful specimen.

[@4seasonspix]

That's what I saw too - Awesome harbor scene at sunset on that slab 😊

[@diisphoria]

Dan i will never get tired of your openings, you are such a beautiful person and so fun to watch. I am stuck in toronto for school and you give me the dose of BC that keeps me from getting too home sick. Thank you so much for you continuous posting! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@bethsands7665]

Awesome Rhodonite... looks like ships on an ocean sunset. Awesome stone with the artistic manganese oxide shooting up delicate veins through a vanilla sky of colors lovely.

[@TerriAnnNiemeier-dy3no]

I love the rocks and hills you locate thus are as colorful as a painting

[@staceyroberts3468]

Beautiful colors!!!!! Love your buddy system!

[@teaganrath255]

Wow! So pretty. Those banded pieces are amazing!

[@moefuggerr2970]

Looks like a forest fire scene a bit of sun shining through.

[@MrPossumeyes]

Thanks for your geology lessons, Dan. Appreciated. And thanks for your joie de vie, too.

[@nopelindoputraperkasa5869]

Dangerous, but rewarding. Prospecting for Rhodonite... The video is the best... Thanks for sharing... Always success... Greetings from a traditional miner from Indonesia.

[@timdavis3249]

My God Dan you and your friends and your videos are just so wonderful! The piece that you showed us and you were mentioning a sunset, oh my God I wanted to jump through the screen and snatch! I think that is one of the most amazing pieces of this amazing mineral. I will have to subscribe to that wonderful couples channel. As always thank you so much for sharing your adventures. Be Safe.❤

[@JoeNelo]

Very cool, The one with the trees, reminds me of a Summer sunset over a lake in the interior.

[@jimmime]

Rock On, Dan!

[@rockymountaindad]

I love the ones with the veining , it looks like a painting ❤

[@MadMarlin1964]

Nice treat midweek

[@stevenlaxton3618]

You're 100% correct when you said that one piece looks like a scene of a lake in an old old forest fire burn..reminds me a bit of a lake near Kamloops lol

[@susanturcotte3176]

Nice, but very steep, hillside full of incredible rhodonite! A liked the ones with the darkest rust color. But, if I had the money to buy it, I would love to own the one with the "trees" as you called it. However, I think that one looks like a setting sun, shining down on a harbor full of boats with tall masts. That was the first thing I saw when I laid my eyes it. Thank you for sharing, Dan, with 2 nice friends! You are amazing and I learn a ton with your GLOTD. Blessings from Alabama ❤️

[@jeremyspencer3374]

The one with the sunset was amazing! Thanks for taking us with you Dan 👍

[@THExPOPEXIX]

they look like pink landscapes and mountains! this is on my rockhounding list now

[@lylehopson9573]

It was a great pleasure meeting you in Kamloops yesterday sir, love your channel, awesome

[@ronsimpson143]

Some of those look like seeing the reflection of a sunset in a lake through the trees.

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

Just beautiful. Would make stunning pendant.

[@markwoodhouse7043]

Beautiful!

[@SeyaDiakite7]

I love seeing your great videos. Thank you for existing. ;)

[@TheMacattack66]

Great to see you and the family at the Vancouver show!! and yes the items I picked up from you outstanding! Even my twin brother and his son are avid viewers of your you tube now! Until next time. Stay safe.

[@maulerrw]

hey Dan, been a little while since I dropped in. Congratulations on the 1 million subs!! nothing better than going on an adventure with someone who is passionate about what they love, also when it’s in search of treasure!

[@patstats1]

What beautiful specimens! I am so inspired to paint the landscapes I saw in those slices. Yes, bare trees and sunsets! I saw that before you said it. Nothing like confirmation. I like the deep pinks turning to orange, yellow and jasper-reds. I love the grays and the linear blacks. I already know how I’m going to paint it. Thanks for another great video from Vancouver Island!

[@markthomas3730]

looks like Cowichan Lake...Hill 60, above Meade Creek.

[@susanpaulson9010]

That perfect one reminds me of fisherman’s boats pulled up on shore.

[@donaldfitzgerald8950]

Dan, You're always surrounded with great characters, it's that prospectors beard! Lol! Beautiful stone, I'm also a lover of that deep pink, integrated with the black designs 🤯 would make lovely jewelry as is or incorporated with some gold nuggets Dan! 💎🤠

[@OldOneTooth]

Quad bike tips and injuries are common, glad you were taking care, consider a roll cage.

[@lavernaboyd4008]

Loved that dessert scene, was awesome. Wish I could afford to get that. Would look great with my collection.😊

[@nicolesaintdenis]

Happy Wednesday ❤

[@tjantiskynet]

Thanks

[@Mindmartyr]

Been listening to the trees for days, they be speaking boy’o!

[@martyparsons8395]

Gorgeous stuff! Almost as nice as the ocean picture stone!

[@michealklonowski5267]

thank you for sharing the adventure and information 😀

[@gyvren]

13:58 that looks like a sunset painting I’ve done a few times. You can even see little pines sticking out of the hilltops on it. Very beautiful stuff, Dan. Very cool. 😎

[@robertwhitey6621]

Excellent video once again, thanks Dan.

[@bhutjolokia6990]

Wild ride Dan!! Thank you!!👍👍😁

[@ethanreddekopp7256]

I love the pieces with the pink and orange. Almost looks like a sunset! I have a big chunk or rhodonite that my dad bought me at a local rock/mineral/lapidary store where I lived

[@gemsstonelangkat1484]

Woooww.. Amazing 👍👍

[@kompressahdnb]

looks like im sitting on the dock of the bay watching the sunset.

[@micheleblackburn2345]

Love your adventures 💕 makes my day or night 🌙 😊

[@VendettaProspecting]

They look like a bob ross painting 🖼️

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

So glad you weren't on the quad when it tipped! Jack and Christa seem like really nice folks, thanks for a great adventure.

[@enterchannelname1378]

So, will the Rhodonite cuts continue to oxydize and lose their color? Or do you coat them with something after cutting them?

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

I was wondering the same.

[@beckymcdade5926]

I was wondering that also. What keeps it from turning black?

[@kevinreno8436]

Dan, have collected some nice rhodonite fron the Sunnyside Mine dumps atEureka, CO. Great stuff. Looks great mounted in silver. Thanks for the great videos.

[@juliane__]

7:16 too nice how it reminds me on expditions back then, wish you a lot of luck! And yes, very beautiful rocks! 8:38 makes perfect sense. Really feels like on of the expeditions. I hope you work with researchers. Amazing locations on your channel.

[@paulotts]

The rock at 14:22 looks like an old road map! That would make a great thin framed piece!

[@BoldLion]

Just BEAUTIFUL!!

Dan says; "I think that's my pink rock" lol

[@leenonolee4629]

The stuff with the veining looks like modern art.

[@jimmurphy6095]

Nice variety of samples you got there... I like it when you mix it up, but still like the panning videos best.

[@Hwy.Runner]

Dan lol.. I’m glad you had help.. overloaded quad.. lol Ur too much!! Love Ya..

[@OnlyPansMJIRL]

Definitely looks like forest fire scene!

[@jakejimstone5029]

About 8 years ago I obtained some amazing Rhodonite from a fellow in Coombs. I can't remember his name, he had a rock shop there with some unreal carved 'Junks' from China. Carved in BC Jade. He soon sold his store and I think he is now doing a fishing charter business. Around Lake Alice on the island is where he found the Rhodonite. I have a 2lb block from him that is almost pure pink.

[@ironhorse7588]

Amazing finds Dan. I can't wait to purchase one from you.

[@alex_stanley]

Pink and black are a classic Chanel color combo. Rhodonite would be great for fancy zipper pulls on $30,000 handbags.

[@BG-ei5rj]

The thumbnail for this video looked like a painting of a forest with a lake lol

[@spencersmick8884]

You have ocean picture stone and desert sunset stone now! amazing stone!

[@kitquartz1953]

I have a rhodonite pyramid and it has an image of you looking down into Rolling Hills from on top of a mountain.

[@Daruma_Studio]

Another good video! Fun.

[@ahoytheremate1954]

G/Day Jack, Dan hes a powerhouse of knowledge he is a top bloke mate well done mate cheers mate from aussie

[@ant-1382]

That one @ 1426 looks like a sunset with the trees in silhouette in the foreground, even got a pond just to the left reflecting the sky. In general I think the stuff looks sorta like under cooked meat. I had a piece that looked like a chunk of pastrami, which is funny because I had a butcher shop and displayed it on top of the display case. Pretty sure I've been to this location, don't worry your secret is safe.

[@asherixie]

Thanks Dan! I love watching your mineral and crystal videos! So informative and so cool!

[@queencoins9913]

Thanks dan

[@soyelmariachi]

Beautiful stuff!

[@bevakmichael1644]

Sunset picture stone !!

[@sharroon7574]

Rhodonite and Jade, the mainstay of jewellry that is sold to tourists at Canadian National Parks. Perhaps some Labradorite too.

[@MelissaMcgouirk]

Wow that's absolutely beautiful and i would love to have some of that for my husband he is a rock hound

[@goodvideos.113]

Your team had a very enjoyable and memorable experience today

[@joannevanegmond592]

My Mom used to hike this mountain with her Dad and little brother back in the 1950’s. Her Dad knew where to go and find lots of Rhodonite. One trip she grabbed the wrong boulder and ended up rolling down the hill bruising her self up pretty badly, it was her last trip unfortunately.

[@noumenanoz8819]

Beautiful stuff

[@MrGoesBoom]

14:35 That one looks like it could be a painting of a sunset on a western, out in the desert

[@deborahpeterson8523]

The stone you showed with the orange color reminds me of the ocean rocks you show.. a couple of the orange one remind me of a dried reddish rock desert sean lol

[@FindingPebbles]

Wow! Love Rhodo!

[@agentbertram4769]

You could call that pink rock "Desert Evening".
