Lots of Crystal Geodes at this FREE Location

The crystal collector checks out a public dig location for these awesome Geode crystal formations! Not even realizing until later that these geodes are rare and have a nice green fluorescent glow with a shortwave flashlight style UV light.
This site will leave you amazed!
One of the best geode sites in America!

This spot is lots of fun y’all! But do go prepared, the drive out there is not easy!

Thank You about the warning concerning Drivability/Road Conditions. My Wife-Rosie(49yrs) and I are both Disabled Seniors, and our Son, whom became a Paraplegic several years ago. We like your Channel and especially the videos and its contents. We like how you treat people AND ESPECIALLY MATRIX!!!

[@thatlindgirlinutah5829]

The roads are wash boards with dirt and rocks. And do NOT aim your camera at Dugway Proving Grounds if you stop at Simpson Springs. The Army doesn't like it when you do that and won't hesitate to come speeding up the road and tell you to stop! LOL It's a rough drive for a few hours to get there, but so much fun to get down in the dirt and dig up all the geodes you can find! Also, if you're lucky, you might get a glimpse of the herds of wild mustangs that call our West Desert home. If the gov't hasn't taken them away yet!🙄

Yes, they just introduced these short wave lights, I suggest you use one of those for best results, they start around $150, it took him a long time to come up with a technology for this, but they finally have it

[@silvergirl7810]

WOWZERS!!! How fun- I didn’t expect them to glow- I loved that last piece! Super great specimens- thanks for the trip and info- 🤓

[@dennisbarclay3554]

Can you share info about your saw. Awesome video. On my bucket list next trip to Utah.

[@thatlindgirlinutah5829]

I remember going out there when the turn off to the beds was marked by a paper plate, with an arrow pointing to the right drawn on it, nailed to a wooden post! LOL We would stop off at Topaz Mountain on our way home and try our luck at finding some topaz and amethyst, but would only find clear shards of topaz from being out in the sunlight. Back then it took a 4x4 to drive up the side of the steep mountain to get to the mine. If you want to go out to the beds the best times are April and May or Sept and Oct. otherwise it's way too hot in the summer or frigid, snow and ice in the winter out in our West Desert. There are no shade trees, services, or amenities, but it's great fun to dig down in the sand & dirt and find some beautiful geodes to take home with you!

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Yeah, it is such a fun location, I went out about a year ago, and the road was washed out and you cannot even make it to the site

[@RainbowSharky69420]

I myself and a Geode and rock collector, they are just so beautiful lol

Hope some of these hit your ebay store. I just started collecting fluorescence minerals and recently bought a 365 nm light. The purple and green look amazing.

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Yes, going to get some listed either tonight or tomorrow for sure! But remember the Long Wave 365 only likes him up about 60% of what a short wave will do.

Darn, thought 365 was good spectrum, now I see 254.

Are those UV reactive geodes Sodalite geodes?

[@sandramays795]

I think sodalite fluoresces orange. In the case of Dugway geodes, the bright green fluorescence is due to trace amounts of uranium in the chalcedony.

No not Sodalite
