mountain full of Jet Black Tormaline (Schorl) in Maine

[@bonblue4993]

I moved to Maine in 1982, and I met an older guy who had been mining for 20 years. We ended up being mining partners and went to 12 different mines over a period of 14 years. One of those mines was the Harvard Quarry, and I remember how steep it was. We went to the Dunton Mine in Newry many times, and I always remember the great view from that mine.

Thanks for the video. I’ve been wanting to check this quarry out. You found some beautiful pieces!

[@JhonDiamond2021]

[@imommyme98]

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

The cover piece is got sure. I just finally go ahold of give away winners n shipped it to the the week. Should arrive early next week.

[@suenichols371]

Keep rockhounding. I love your stuff. I'm going to Powers farm to dig me some of that black Tourmaline 😊

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

I was hoping to make it there this year. It's like 4 hr drive for me but worth it for a day diggin there

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

Powers farm that is.

[@michaelmiller9883]

Awesome finds! Keep up the vids!

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

Thanks brother. It was a excellent time collecting a few beautiful pieces came home and I left the rest for everyone else

[@theruggedrockhound]

There are a few locations I know of here in the west that I go to get schorl, but the crystals you collected are better than what we typically get here. Nice!

[@scott_is_happy]

I love Schorl. if you ever have a homerun piece, please let me know. I haven't found a website for you...? I will now look for your IG. thanks for the video.

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

I have tik tok and insta too. Brian_the_Rockhound on tiktok Brian.the.Rockhound On insta

[@susie5710]

Thanks for the video. I want to get up there but the hike in is intimidating!

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

It's a bit of a hike up but it's beautiful And totally worth it for what you'll find.

[@Koby-x9v]

It used to be an easy short hike until it was exploited and disrespectful out of staters ruined it...

[@melissamorse6269]

Love this video . Thank you. I would like to have you do one on beaches of Maine. Thank you for doing this. Very educational

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

I would love to do some on the beaches.. might try to get to one next week when I’m up there

[@bisquickbilly89]

Assume video. You have some really cool finds. I've wanted to hunt for Tourmaline in Maine for a long time, but it is pretty kinda a far trip from Kentucky

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

Yea definitely a lil far but u guys have some dope geodes in Kentucky right?

[@bisquickbilly89]

@@Brian_the_Rockhound yep quartz and botryoidal chalcedony in the part where I live and kentucky agate in eastern kentucky

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

One day soon I'll be able to get out to Kentucky n collect. It's on my list of places to get to before I retire in 18 more yrs. Lol

[@jamesdwest115]

At your 3-minute Mark, if you turn around you see that ledge I had a tent pitch there and I awoke with the best and most amazing view and the best luck I've ever had at any rock mine

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

@@jamesdwest115 bro it’s such a beautiful place to collect and amazing stuff to find there

[@christophermichaud7187]

I have lived in Maine all my life. Just over the past 3 years I have broke into the prospecting, rock hounding and metal detecting world. Wish I did sooner. A mineral that I don't hear many people talk about finding in Maine is andalusite. Have you found any?

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

Honestly I would have no clue. I may in my pales of things I've collected waiting to be cleaned. I have like 12 totes boxes n buckets of stuff from different places I don't have the time to ever go through. Wish I did lol

[@scottnixon1305]

Hi from AUS mate. Great vid and keep up the content.

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

Thanks Appreciate it a lot. I truly do love hearing from everyone thats enjoying the videos, it means a lot to me to hear it yall

[@gaillawrence3106]

Im a Maine'ah. Another place is in Greenwood Maine. Its the Waisanen/Taminen quarry mine. I was married to a Waisanen. The hike in is easy/minimal.

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

@@gaillawrence3106 I’ve collected at both of those mines they’re right next to each other, pretty neat stuff there too. I’ve been there while Frank was blasting at the Weismann 2 different times. It’s actually how I found out about the Harvard. Met my buddy geo Jim for the first time same day too.

[@FindingPebbles]

Wow! Very cool!

[@SteveIsgreat]

Do you think The Rock, is a rock enthusiast?

[@Brian_the_Rockhound]

Be cool if he was but the odds are more that he's a cooking enthusiast if ya smell what I'm cookin
