Where can you find Amazonite?

[@JRL1963]

THANK YOU ! Ive been searching for specific geology info on the Likes Peak region

[@allivegas]

Cool video!!! Going rock hounding tomorrow and came across your video. I love the claymation you’ve provided. I wish you would get more views. You’re articulation of the geological history is phenomenal!!

[@JaswantRajawat-n3r]

so good listening to you 👌

[@Altcapball]

This video should definantly have more views than it does.

this couldn't have been a more perfect video for me to find. i'm always happy to see another woman explaining geology-- maybe im misandrist but i think we do it better

Very informative Amazonite formation video and great visuals/production. Thanks 😀

Hi..I see this is a few years old, but is it a regular thing? That is, wondering if you’re still making videos. I’m interested in geology & I’m diggin the graphics. Jeremy

That was Amazing! Subscribed! I DO Desperately Hope You Make More🙏😊

Why the color? Tiny percentages of this chemical or that, is the classic way minerals get their colors. But have you noticed that amazonite has a different crystal form than microcline? Totally a guess on my part, but it'd be interesting to find out what the experts think about the crystal shape. Only 1 cm qualifies as pegmatite? Yeesh, that's like 90% of the rocks around here. Liked your explanation of crystal growth though. I was on the eastern side of Pikes Peak last week, and found plenty of amazonite, also one (of what I think is) colorless topaz. Every bit of quartz I've seen on that side of the mountain has some smokiness to it (radiation damage), but this crystal was perfectly clear, and the luster seemed wrong for quartz too. Unfortunately it was a broken fragment and so the telltale shape of topaz was not present. I need a sensitive scale so I can check specific gravity. There's a KZbinr who calls himself Everything is Spirit, who does a lot of prospecting in the Terryall and Lost Creek areas (north of Lake George). The guy is a bit weird, but super knowledgeable. When he's on a good pocket and the sun sets, he keeps digging, "Oh, hello Mr. Moon." But he seems mostly harmless. Finally, last year I bought a vacant lot in the neighborhood of that lady who pronounces amazonite, azamonite. Good times ahead.

I know someone (living in Colorado, and living withing walking distance of an amazonite outcrop) who calls it azamonite. I could not convince this woman that she had the right letters, but in the wrong order. Realizing it's sometimes called Amazon stone might have helped, as everyone knows of the Amazon River, but no one's ever heard of the Azamon River. 😝

Nice!

I'm from Colorado springs and a few miles from the best specimens in the world. I have a 20 acre claim that I mine at and we also pull world class topaz

Lol great video...
