This is an incredible production, SO well made! I also greatly appreciate that you explain so much about the process, and the "Why's" and "How's" of what you're looking for, what you are seeing or should see for specific formations, etc. I'm fairly new to Rockhounding (not my love of rocks, though), and one of the things that I wish others would do, you have demonstrated beautifully. Thank you! I just subscribed for all of these reasons.

[@rockhoundlounge]

Thanks for your awesome feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@CanvasJules]

Such amazing finds and amazing scenery ❤. When you got to your final destination of this video, I was so excited because I was born in Leadville. I would have loved to have been out there with you. Stay safe and happy hounding!

[@patriciabock4299]

I know this is an older video, but I would have tears of joy finding crystals and agates like this! Be Still My Heart for the Green lol!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Excellent video and fantastic finds! Thank you for taking us along.

[@stanrayborn926]

Looks like a really good spot and the views are fabulous

[@gemcollector8508]

At 15:00, that piece is amazing. I hope to find something like that one day

[@mray8519]

I was on a rock forum, then a video about mineral collecting and ended up buying Bondic, all before the sun was up. Welcome to my quarantine life. 😊

[@scoobnicholas3868]

lovin your channel, and your production style- keep them coming, total enjoyment, next best thing to being there with you.

[@arslongarocks]

[@MagicMiners]

[@lounisrajah5951]

Nice rewards for this adventure in the great outdoors far from the hubbub of the cities

[@supernatureza]

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Great video

[@rockhoundlounge]

Thanks!

[@maryhutt4263]

Those are beautiful how come there isn't any behind front ones?

[@maryhutt4263]

Done good video and crystals

[@richardtaihitu6157]

those are beautiful stones!

[@davidhubert3807]

Next time you are here in Colorado, gotta check out the tarryalls for topaz! I have quite bit from that area!

[@Dm-hz9mm]

Please tell, I'm planning on checking out that area but I really don't know where to start digging (was hoping to learn by checking out youtube vids)

[@KCoda1248]

That would make and amazing necklace. We don’t have this stuff in NJ. 🥲

[@zaugitude]

Great video! Do you have to get permits or are these private land that you get permission? Thanks!

[@cptnkaos5994]

Hi just subscribed , love your videos

[@alyssatorres5897]

11:55 what is that white stone just next to that boulder you were looking at? It reminds me of howlite with its color, just curious if it’s something lol great video

[@tracingphillipmorril]

Awesome trip

[@whiplash3452]

15:50 I could almost swear that my cabin is right next to this place. Is it near Jefferson?

[@whiplash3452]

Near but in the middle of nowhere.

[@maryhutt4263]

What color is your granite?? My granite is white with black I like your amonite , pretty,, our state is known fer granite mines,old timers use to find gold in Brooks but I Don't know how they found it,

[@rockhoundlounge]

Well I don't live in Colorado I just went there to dig. But most granite is either whitish with black or pink and brown if discolored with oxides. The granite where I live in NC is mostly white with very minimal black or biotite mica and some hornblende.

[@kendallpotts7524]

Currently in CO for one more day, went digging in Cheyenne park mountain claims and couldn’t find much. Any areas you can help navigate me too where I won’t go home empty handed?

[@FireStillPlays]

I've heard crystal mountain is pretty good, but i've never been there.

[@KCoda1248]

The blue-green Re: necklace.

[@maryhutt4263]

Can we find them pretty much in every state?. I'm in Vermont??

[@rockhoundlounge]

Every state certainly has its own minerals or fossils to find but not every state has the same type of crystals. Colorado is unique in that it has an abundance of smoky crystals and amazonite.

[@bucksarg1]

you see locals prospecting road cuts after a rain in this area.

[@jacobperry7950]

In the video I believe you said that you were at the blue heaven claim? Is that the owner you are with? I am in Colorado and am always looking for new spots. Not sure if they allow people to pay to dig or if there are spots at devils head that you can search and not have to worry about being on claims by accident. I find the BLM land map hard to understand. Any tips and tricks is always appreciated!

[@MarkOBrienmarkspage1]

Does anybody know of any areas around Leadville good for Crystal collecting? Me and the family will be up there camping over the next couple weeks. Thank you so much.

[@SeanS-sl2hk]

I know spots in the springs if you’ll be out here

[@MarkOBrienmarkspage1]

@@SeanS-sl2hk yup, we will be. Any assistance is greatly appreciated?

[@SeanS-sl2hk]

Yea if you give me your email i can give you a spot or two. I’d rather not post publicly

[@DaoDao-xn3ev]

Next month I’m on Rocky , someone give me location for crystal dig .

[@purpleracoon08]

Sean S i live in the springs, would you be able to share some spots with me?

[@maryhutt4263]

Purple?

[@MarkOBrienmarkspage1]

Is it possible to know where you were digging these crystals?

[@bucksarg1]

Check out the Colorado Gem belt. stirt west of Colorado Springs, in the floressant area.
