[@purplepotato3592]

Loving this mini-series on the quartz, it's really inspiring and educational to see the wide variety of crystals, minerals, and other valuables you extract and collect! I was wondering, would it not be a little easier/more efficient an extraction of these crystals if you were to use water to wash away the clay between crystals and simultaneously rinse them to see their true form? Also, is the crystal more valuable if it is completely clear and glassy, or are they more valuable with phantoms, or sandy parts, or other inclusions?

[@jonlavigne3270]

Hydraulic mining is incredibly destructive.

They are only worth as much as you can sell them for. The crystal collector came and set up at a big flea market near me. He was trying to sell large quarts crystals for $100-$150 but everybody is like why? What good are they? He ended up selling a lot of little $10-$20 crystals to get gas money.

[@twiztid83222]

1 million dollar pocket? Not even close. Until they are done with the lies I will keep telling the truth. Those crystals are NOT worth $50-100,000. They go for what ppl will pay for them. They are not rare but the land they are on is rare because it’s owned by people that sometimes do not mine for this 247. Similar crystals are a few hundred dollars for the huge ones seen in this video

[@jameswelch1054]

You speak the truth, bro.

[@judithfairchild8620]

It was fun watching you all get high on rock crystal. Absolutely fabulous pieces. I had a client that had a 4" by 8" by 5" quartz crystal. Inside the clear was a castle like inclusion including a winding path up to the castle. The most fascinating rock I ever was given the privilege to hold..

[@timothycloney1453]

I personally am not a fan of the recent run of these crystal videos and seeing so many discovered doesn’t seem to indicate any kind of rarity in them to fetch any sort of high market value, if anything the market is likely being flooded with them if they are that ripe for the picking. If gold wasn’t rare it wouldn’t have much value and would just be an alloy for something else more rare and precious or it would be used as the primary metal for all our household items and the made in China dollar store items. I just don’t see the appeal and all the fuss about harvesting something that seems so plentiful, and don’t understand why it’s so valuable.

[@craftsmanwoodturner]

There's nearly 8 billion people on the planet. If only 0.1% of us (1 in a thousand) want to buy a big crystal, that's 8 million big crystals. In the video, they unearthed maybe 10 or 20 of the really big ones. I think they made it plain that this was a highly unusual day, so they're not getting ones like that every day. Those 8 million people will bid up the price for the few big crystals available, so yes, they will likely be really valuable.

[@johnvanegmond1812]

@Josey Wilds That would make you one of the 99.9% that don't want them. I'm part of the 8 million that love them. But I don't need to own one at this time so I won't be buying any either.

[@timothycloney1453]

@@craftsmanwoodturner respectively speaking here, I would dare say that far less than 1 in a thousand would be interested in purchasing an expensive crystal, especially in our current economy. The only crystals that appear to be trending or even remotely mainstream are the gimmicky, healing crystals and those are $5-$100 depending on the craft idea that the crystals are incorporated with. I am likely being narrow minded because I don’t have any interest in crystals, gemstones, etc, therefore it just may be difficult for me to understand the appeal. But you can’t deny that something doesn’t seem rare when it’s being harvested out of the earth like a seasonal vegetable crop.

[@RobBoyBlunder]

Crystals are admired first and foremost for aesthetic beauty, and sometimes it's not some people's jam and that's fine! With crystals like these it's less about amount and more about how hard it is to get to and finding something that fits the quality scale that makes it 'rare'- i.e. finding pieces that aren't damaged, the way they grew, and how 'quality' they are- they care more about how dazzling people see them visually. It's like a lottery of nature harboring the right conditions to make them 'valuable' because the shape and formation is what can be rare; certain types of growing rates, conditions, inclusions etc. are the rarity factor- but not always! long story short, it's mostly a perceived value over actual 'rarity'- there's hardly any real rarity with a lot of materials when you get to the bottom of it, it's just hard to get to it which makes it expensive. That being said, imo the amount or lack thereof isn't what makes something special, it's the unique qualities of every piece; scarcity is often manufactured for most materials anyways!

[@meadmaker4525]

So, forgive my ignorance here, but I have a couple of questions. I completely get the treasure hunt aspect of this and the excitement that goes with it. But if these are just ordinary crystals and not gemstones, how/why are they worth as much as you're saying they are? Who buys plain crystals for that much money? Now, I'm saying "plain" and "ordinary" because they're not gemstones, not because they're not beautiful, which they clearly are. Also, how does one come to own a "private crystal pit?" How would you even know where to dig for stuff like this? Do these sorts of crystals occur everywhere across the country, or only in certain places? I find this all really fascinating.
