[@amazingplaceswithamy]

The rose quartz is amazing! Hope to see some of your finds at the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show. Beautifully filmed video! 😀

[@aussierockhounds]

The Australian Rose Quartz is certainly very unique and special, and so glad you enjoyed our episode! Definitely come to visit us at our showcase at the Tucson Showplace!

[@Stigwuzere]

Just luv watchin’ good finds come out of the ground. From one rocky to another “NICE FIND “

[@aussierockhounds]

ah thanks mate - we do too! It was a hot one for this time of the year, but so worth it to get out there and be able to capture it too!

[@cetinkeles9947]

Thank you for showing me out back again 💛 🧡 ❤

[@aussierockhounds]

its a magical place, isn't it?! Happy to keep showing it and thanks so much for watching it with us :)

[@GCALcontent]

What a great video. Wonderfull footage, clear audio, well edited and all mixed with great music. Very well done!

[@aussierockhounds]

thanks so much - that really means a lot to us! We've got some amazing, super hard working crew behind the scenes who are brilliant at their craft capturing all of this. And how lucky are we in Oz that we have this beautiful landscape and gems that naturally lend itself to being on film?!

I remember as a kid I’d get dragged along by my rock hounding grandfather all over the state collecting semi precious gemstones in his old 1972 Holden HQ ute, which was brand new back then & his pride & joy. He used to drive trains (steam locos in his early days but later the diesel replacements). So I remember him taking me to a railway siding out of Muchea somewhere collecting “apricot quartz”. I think he said it was “Chert”. It had been carted there by the railways and dumped as railway ballast in the siding. He recognised the apricot quartz as being suited to polishing in his rock tumbler, hence why we went there to collect the best part of a Ute load. I had the impression the apricot quartz was carted there by rail from a quarry somewhere out Yinnitharra way. This video brought back some nice memories of childhood days with a grandfather long since gone now, so thanks heaps for your efforts. 👍👍👍🇦🇺

[@aussierockhounds]

It's great to hear it brought back good memories with your grandfather Ian. Every time I travel to these old leases I’m constantly reminded of my grandparents and travelling with my old man as a kid. These memories are the things to cherish most. Pictures are good, but when a memory is triggered due to a name of place or even smell, these are the real treasures. I’ve heard of a few sidings with some nice-looking quartz over the years, I’ll have to keep this one in mind.

[@lindasoklich4465]

[@billybobwombat2231]

Cheers for the share mate 👍🦘

[@aussierockhounds]

thanks mate! Appreciate you watching...

[@maryjones5710]

Always have to give something back. I do a bit of woodcarving, every piece gets a bit of blood out of me. Glad to see you found some beauty to share with the world. Bloomin hard yakka that.

[@aussierockhounds]

I've given my fair share of blood to the rocks too! I get it - the personal touch that goes into woodcarving not only showcases your skill but also carries a piece of you with it. Keep up the hard work and passion!

[@aussierockhounds]

do you showcase your woodcarvings anywhere we can see them?

[@unearthedaustralianopal]

[@gregwatson7479]

Nice work mate I subscribed love the video prospecting out there is what I love doing I believe the smoky colour in the quartz is a result of alumina and radiation over billions of years please keep sharing 👍👍👍

[@aussierockhounds]

Thanks for the support mate - its been pretty incredible to prospect the Tourmaline alongside the Rose. So happy I can share the journey with you guys.

[@DavidAnderson-vt8iq]

This is insanely cool.Great video - subscribed.

[@aussierockhounds]

Hey thanks for watching and enjoying our video, we have a few more in the pipeline so hopefully you get to check them out too!

[@lyovazi8533]

amazing views

[@aussierockhounds]

I never, ever get sick of those views - no matter how many times I come out here!

[@SachaFernandez]

Love the aerials, they really do show the vastness and the colour of the outback. Australian rose quartz, any idea on the age of these quartz you uncovered?

[@aussierockhounds]

How good is seeing the landscape from that angle!! The age of the Rose Quartz is still unclear but we believe it ranges between 3.8 - 4 billion years old, making part of some of the youngest igneous rocks around that area!

[@SachaFernandez]

@@aussierockhoundsamazing!!

[@BitterMunky]

That’s what I couldn’t believe when I saw the view through the drone monitor… how endless the outback really is

[@Phoenix_Enterprises]

Haha, I subscribed. I figured I'm going to like your channel since you also use duct tape for bandaids in the field. Lol

[@aussierockhounds]

Duct tape is the bandaid of champions! what we would do without it? hahaha it's saved me a million times and it actually stays on through all the dust and grime out there!

[@atmm89]

I was hoping you would have shown the end product, never mind it still was a great video. Allan

[@aussierockhounds]

We've got you covered! stay tuned for future episodes where we will share some deep dives about where our rose quartz ends up!!

[@atmm89]

looking forwards to them, thanks@@aussierockhounds

[@mavistham5481]

Love the video ! Question for you… how is rose quartz formed ? Thanks !

[@aussierockhounds]

Great question! I could go on all day, but in essence Rose quartz is formed when silicon dioxide combines with trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese during the cooling process of magma. Glad you loved our episode!

[@BitterMunky]

Has the cut healed up yet??

[@aussierockhounds]

Thanks to the swift skills of my team, the love tap is healing nicely!
