Rockhounding pegmatite for Black Tourmaline (schorl)

We explore a new area with some black tourmaline thats in a pegmatite. This video has a mixture of footage from 3 separate days. I was hoping to open up a big pocket but I cant complain about the finds I walked away with. I hope you enjoy seeing the minerals we pulled out and hope to make a better video of this spot once we dig into it a bit more. Thank you all for your support and if you enjoy this video please subscribe and share.
If you have any recommendations or feedback, feel free to share them with me in the comment section. Thanks again and keep rocking!

[@kenwin5845]

Got me craving being out rockhounding. When the wicked heat relents. Good to see your new video

[@rockgoblinadventures5520]

Yeah might have to put off being outside for a bit until the heat dies down. I can't wait to go explore a few new spots we have found soon. Thanks for watching!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Seeing you out wearing winter coats has me day dreaming for cooler days on this hot June day. I would love to join y'all out there if you go back.

[@rockgoblinadventures5520]

Yeah that weather would be preferred over this crazy heat lol. I think we may head back in a couple weeks and we can let you know so you can join us.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

@@rockgoblinadventures5520 I would love that!

[@nancycampbell6800]

We have tourmaline? Another reason to get out there. I have one recommendation---more videos please. Thanks. ;)

[@rockgoblinadventures5520]

Yeah the spot is neat but not as good as I was hoping. I'll try to get some more videos uploaded soon. Thanks for watching.

Grate video man

[@rockgoblinadventures5520]

[@pootoobuser1239]

Such cute guys, why no new videos?

[@rockgoblinadventures5520]

I've been busy finishing college and haven't had much time to get out recently, but I should be posting some new material soon

[@masonsmyth147]

I’m a newbie. How do you generally identify pegmatite?

[@rockgoblinadventures5520]

So It's basically like a granite that has larger minerals. So a granite has stuff like quartz, feldspar, micas and hornblendes but the size of each individual mineral is fairly small approximately less then 1cm. A pegmatite would have the same minerals but would be over 1cm and can get pretty large and measure in the meters scale. The pegmatites usually cooled slow enough that the minerals had time to grow larger but that's not always the case.

[@masonsmyth147]

@@rockgoblinadventures5520 okay that makes sense. I feel like I can identify granite fairly easily. so just keep looking for rocks with bigger deposits of quartz, mica and feldspar. Thanks! Another random q. Do you think you’d be more likely to find pegmatite in foothills, or in the actual mountains?

[@rockgoblinadventures5520]

@Mason Smyth I can't say if one would be better than the other. Pegmatites usually run as dikes and intrusions, though, if that helps you at all. If you have an area you are curious about it's always good to check out some geology maps and see what rock is there and if anyone has marked out any Intrusives or anything else. Mindat.org is a good resource as well as the USGS.

[@cwhyde36]

Where is this at?

[@rockgoblinadventures5520]

Sorry for the late reply. I've been a bit busy. This is in idaho a bit east of Moscow/pullman area.

[@bellashealingartistry8934]

​@Rock Goblin Adventures oh some how I thought it was California. New subbie

[@ALLfemalesLiecheatnsteal]

Any❤ new videos soon?

[@rockgoblinadventures5520]

Hopefully I'll have some new videos out soon. I've been busy graduating college so haven't had alot of time but when the weather gets a bit better I'll be getting out.

[@ALLfemalesLiecheatnsteal]

@@rockgoblinadventures5520 nice! What state you mining in? I just got some land and has a quarry on it. I have a gut feeling it has a variety of minerals gems etc on it. Has a small mountain, 20 acre pond fed by 5 springs etc. Lots of visible different types of granite and stone.

[@rockgoblinadventures5520]

@Mark Mark I'm over in north idaho, Washington area mostly. Do you know what kind of quarry?

[@ALLfemalesLiecheatnsteal]

@@rockgoblinadventures5520 I’m going to hire a geologist to check. It’s 200 acres but on 800 acres. Granite blue granite lighter color rock. So far it has a mountain of blue granite. But is being used as a rock crushing pit last 3 years. The terrain varies sandy pebbles to giant boulders. Then a mountain of granite to that pond. Which is insanely clear. There’s some weird rocks all over the pond. I haven’t been out on it yet. Seems to be full of small boulders and square Granite chunk’s. Really unique place.

[@rockgoblinadventures5520]

@Mark Mark if you get the time you should send a few sample pictures my way. I'd love to hear what you have going on where you are at.
