[@CourtneyLurae]

Bucket list number ONE: pull a crystal from the earth with my own hands. I can’t even imagine how magical these trips are!!!! I’m addicted to watching.

[@CourtneyLurae]

Thirst Fast I’m in the states. 😊 New Jersey.

[@CourtneyLurae]

Thirst Fast yeah, I’m not crazy about garnets. Red isn’t my color lol I plan on traveling in the future to dig 😊

[@CourtneyLurae]

Thirst Fast clear quartz for sure. They’re so magical and pure and beautiful!! And if I ever dig up one with natural rainbows, I’d probably pass out with it in my hand lol

[@CourtneyLurae]

Thirst Fast I’d love to find some amethyst too. Purple is my favorite color and amethyst have such amazing energy in my life.

[@christinebuckingham7334]

Thirst Fast I'm from NJ too - where are garnets found here??

[@captaincatbug]

I want to go digging so bad!!!

[@trip898]

Me to wish I had the money

[@shitstorm6521]

Black Midnight just go bro, live your dreams

[@drachi1o]

Same. To find a flippen crystalllllll!!!!!!!

[@Yikes_s]

Your videos are so relaxing, thanks for the content.

[@Lord_James]

I bet, you know, because you probably spy on a basic white girl who listens to trash music.

[@salvadorelocsin8987]

It really is isn’t it

[@yosramirezsv]

I feel the same way!

[@GulfCoastWeatherMedia]

I've seen your channel in the comments of 5 diff. Vids

[@doobs930069]

My favorite part was when they found crystals.

[@charcoalchicken2808]

doobs_402 I didn’t see that part

[@rickyradioactivehorsehunte2247]

Me neither......they put those crystals there

[@TheElectronCloud]

Remember when they found that crystal? That was awesome! Super cool!

[@-Nick_Gurr_Rich-]

My favorite part was when Trump beat Hillary in 2016 and saved us from the new world order. Stopped blowing up ancient monumets like bush jr and obama. Trump ends all war and these swamp rats steal the election from the true winner. Russell-Jay : Gould.

[@Mr-Divine]

That diamond window is INSANE

[@makaylaallen6243]

Gotta love my home state! Arkansas is full of wonders! So glad I can call this beautiful state my home!

[@jacksonbodra6450]

brother , can you find a CRYSTAL ? by the way , hello from the other side.

[@jeffreyp1855]

Makayla Allen, I live in Northern California but I wish I lived there! I would love to take my daughter crystal hunting!

[@rosalacroix6447]

i could sit there digging all day xD must be addictive

[@jadejade5303]

I would do the same too

[@lovethestage]

One of the things I love about America. So many of us have different accents!

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Yes, I never realized I had a southern accent until I went north and out west, still don’t realize it sometimes LOL

[@lovethestage]

Dude...you got a accent! But who am I to talk, I'm from Brooklyn haha. Thank you for these beautiful videos...very inspirational, calming and good for the soul to watch.

[@tamigarrett3513]

lovethestage I’m from Chicago. We don’t have accents. 🤣

[@shimmeronfoxclaw5549]

I love every single video!! ❤️👍🏼

[@CarmenNgMusictoRelax]

a very interesting and fun event, enjoying this video, being brought up in a city, I only see crystals in shops

[@Boogertoez]

15:04 BWUAHAHAHA!!! 😂 Love the editing!!! You’ve got a great sense of humor! With all this digging, I can’t help but to think of that one song 🎶 by the BeeGees, “How Deep Is Your Love 💗...” Can you dig it? Can’t wait for your next adventure!

[@milesnn]

Awesome video magnificent quartz beautiful 👍

[@cougarfarmer]

I dug for crystals when I was 6 or 7 years old. I still remember what fun it was, from finding them, the sound of the tools in the earth, right down to the heavy paper bags that you put them in. It has been to long. Time to go back to Arkansas.

[@annh3599]

Thanks! Great crystals! Enjoyed this video!

[@jan635]

You are such a great guy! This is why i love watching your vids it just gives some good vibes and and it is just so calming..😊🤗

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Good show thanks for sharing this video with us... Be blessed... BBE..

[@rameeshahasan780]

I can't wait to try and find these beautiful crystals!

[@thepresentmoment369]

Man I love crystals. I had no idea there was crystal mines so close to me. I'm definitely taking a trip down there. Also like how you edit the videos. Really good.

[@stacycowles2843]

Wow I just found this video and I'm in love, I really want to go dig up some crystals here!! 😊 this and another place in this state are on my bucket list!!

[@nw_underground]

Yo dude. I'm a british mineral hunter and us collectors over here are always super jealous of how you guys dig. Over here, we have to go underground, or work spoil heaps to find specimens. And with a much smaller land mass, a lot of material was taken many years ago. Seems the Americans have a love for our fluorescent minerals and we have a love for your quartz. I would travel halfway around the globe to pull out a quartz cluster like you guys are finding!

[@vanessaclark4576]

So amazing the energy these crystals provide to the Earth and to us all.

[@deadpanbarry5442]

Greetings from the south of Ireland love watching your vids.

[@Native-Kitty]

I sure miss your videos! Please keep them coming!

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Native-Kitty going to try and put one out roughly every two to three weeks

[@priscillaannyates227]

Hey Crystal Collector, I have a great question for you......If you only have 4 to 5 days you are spending in Arkansas and your traveling by SUV Ford from EAST TEXAS, where would you visit and where would you stay?.... we're going somewhere at the end of August maybe in the middle of September. Plus when would you take this trip what would be the perfect weather for this kind of trip?

[@Angel-nr8td]

I've dug crystals out of the ground from america and Australia and Canada much fun.

[@blessedone843]

Thanks for the invite, I really want to dig crystals with you my favorite is Amethyst I'm here in North Carolina. Where can we dig Amethyst in North Carolina??? ❤

[@TheOddSusie]

Hey Crystal Collector! I really enjoy these videos you make and would love to dig up my own crystal one day! The only problem is that I live in the UK, I was wondering if you knew if there's anywhere I could look for crystals here? I figured if anyone would know, it would be yourself! Thanks again and look forward to your next video :)

[@brendawhite1795]

[@younggarlkim5558]

Dam those crystals you could sell them for a lot of money 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵

[@omgitsfirekiller]

Not really quartz is the most abundant mineral on earth

[@jeremyvargas3866]

Actually crystals are not worth that much because they're not rare that can be found on you can find lots of them in just one pocket only Rare Minerals are the ones that are really costing

[@T00raww]

Jeremy Vargas well if you get a big one like in thumb nail they can go from 80-100 depending who you buy it from also small ones in bulk are good because people would rather have smaller gems those can go up in any price of its bulk size though

[@moymoypalaboy5592]

If you found that in africa it may cost a lot of money, but outside africa it has no value

[@swarnamohanty3121]

Ha, no value really

[@i_am_mazikeen793]

No Way I'd Let My Treasure Out Of My Sight Haha Very Trusting

[@witengineer6377]

Great video! Have you ever used the "cylinders of the pharaoh"? It is ancient Egyptian electrical technology made of copper and zinc cylinders filled with quartz crystal when held produce up to 1.5 volts and can be purchased on Amazon for only 29.99

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Going to have to try that technique out, thanks

[@Ruby-Doc]

*_[DON'T TOUCH THAT! THE FUSION EXPERIMENTS SHOULD TO BE LEFT TO THE KINDERGARTENERS! LEAVE IT ALONE OR THE DIAMONDS WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!]_*

[@pyrrehraus6571]

what?

[@KCoda1248]

Bryan - I had somehow missed this one too. I was craving Arkansas so badly! Love the effects - especially the Batman segue! Lol! You must have the best eyes because every time you said, “Do you see it? It’s right there,” I didn’t see it! Reminded me of an episode of Friends when Rachel was having an ultrasound and her baby was about the size of a peanut. Since Ross already had a child, he knew and the doctor pointed it out to her and Rachel said, “Oh! I see it!” As soon as the doctor left the room she started crying and said, “Ross. I don’t see it!” I know you don’t watch much TV but I think you get it. It was dry and dirt covered so everything just looked like rocks to me. I’m sure when I get to go on a dig, I’ll get more used to spotting things. Didn’t you get asked to be a guest judge on a future Championship Dig? This was so much fun seeing all the contestants so happy, and you still showed so many informative things with veins and pockets. Thanks again for a top notch viewing and learning experience!

[@Chocolate_Dad]

I can’t wait to go to the amethyst dig site in Georgia this summer

[@torihalteman8660]

I know it probably takes a long time to actually get your footage and then edit it but I really wish you were able to put out more frequent videos! I’m a relatively recent subscriber and I love your videos, I’ve watched all of them already and I’m wishing for more 😂 This would literally be my dream job, I’m from PA so I don’t think we have many places to mine up here, I hope someday I can come visit one of the mines you’ve been at in your videos and dig up some crystals!!

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Tori Lynne thanks for watching! Going to be putting out new videos soon! Putting more efforts into the KZbin channel 🙌💎🙏

[@torihalteman8660]

The Crystal Collector can’t wait! I’m digging crystals vicariously through you 😂💎⛏

[@stonedgaming8109]

Hey crystal collector how would I start Mining crystals I really interest in mining where would I start I live in Houston Texas

[@mysticallight6548]

[@abdulmalikmohammed1715]

Can you please help me to understand where the gemstone located, I mean how the soil or rock of diamonds and tourmaline look like

[@abdulmalikmohammed1715]

The soil or rock which tourmaline exists in

[@paigelee6321]

Very cool 😎

[@trip898]

That one that got into the competition looks like fire turned into a crystal

[@trulyinfamous]

The quartz around me in Ohio, aren't exactly all continuous crystals, but are massive clusters of quartz.
