World Class Gemstones Found! Peridot! (ft. Jordan Madley)

We sent a sample lot of this peridot to gem cutters in Jaipur and they tell us our Peridot is some of the best in the world! Today I take Actress and Model Jordan Madley, an amateur gem hunter, to the Peridot claim to find some large facetable gemstone. And teach Jordan all about Peridot and gem hunting.

Beautiful!! And she was having so much fun! My 92 yr old sister AND my 94 yr old aunt both have August birthdays. What a wow it would be to find them crystals and have them faceted. Not gonna happen.... I'm in Missouri. However, it was so much fun watching Jordan's excitement and Dan's willingness to get crystals out for her. Kudos Dan.

Dan Hurd: Prospector to the stars.... Jordan Madley added a great vibe to the episode. Maybe the glee of trying something new and fun, maybe a great person in general. Learning about columnar basalt and gemstones from Dan is always interesting.

You can make a peridot ring that has a groove in the center with the small peridot dust. by laying it into the crevice with superglue as you turn the ring on a lathe. Like a silver ring with a green stripe in the middle

[@shanegoulden4298]

You could do an epoxy inlay, shape and polish it on a drum or flat lap.

[@UncleBildo]

Great hiking boots the extra camera dude was wearing! Totally perfect for out in the rocks, and boulders.....

[@TallulahB58]

I thought so too. An accident waiting to happen.

[@aloharay]

She was asking all the right questions, and just the right amount of excitement. Dan Hurd doesn't go to Hollywood, they come to him!

[@sgtscowl]

I enjoyed you explaining, showing and practicaling geology to a pretty lady that was interested in learning, being shown and practicaling herself. Seriously, really enjoyed this one.

[@danacataldi5119]

Her enthusiasm was so infectious. It was a very fun episode.

[@peterfdsvenskaflygvapnet2643]

Thats the way she is. Watched the video with her on Pauly's channel way back, and she has the same attitude and energy there. And she seems to always be either smiling or more common, laughing. 😂

Congratulations on developing this prospect. Superb content and awesome guests! Thank you.

[@Ranger2K]

Dear Mr Hurd, just a suggestion. Coat small crystal groupings like that in candle wax or rubber cement to hold them together when extracting. Thank you for all the content over the years, love it!

[@mikewarriner2988]

That stuff is absolutely everywhere around kelowna There's like 5 spots. I can think of off the top of my head that you could drive a car to and yes there decent size

[@gndn]

Yes, Dan took the club on a field trip to this spot, and one other. It was so much fun. The Big white site does not have very nice color. And the lighting peak site has its own issues.

I’m stoked on the peridot pronunciation lesson. I’ve wondered on that for days.

[@lynnapplefield553]

Peridot is my birthstone!!!!!!! Those were beautiful crystal chunks found ! Very exciting! I don’t even have a ring & one of those crystals would have made a beauty! I think the period mine is beyond exciting & a great plan! You must be thrilled Dan . Especially after getting such phenominal feedback from the gemologists that cleaned, polished & cut them into gem quality pieces!!! Gorgeous!!!! I would be a tough one to get off that junk of rocks! 😮😅.. yippee!!!!!

It’s so good to see someone just as excited, if not more excited than you, accompany you out there finding some real beauties. Need her in the channel some more. Her energy is contagious lol

[@simoncollins69]

Her enthusiasm for learning about and finding cryatals is really wholesome.

[@GeologicalNerd]

'Crystal/s' are referring to the structure of a particular mineral. Have a look at crystallography and mineralogy. Different minerals will have specific shapes depending on their chemical makeup. Fun but difficult to learn if your interested. Take care

[@JohnKimbler]

I think that you and Jordan have a lot of great chemistry on camera -love her enthusiasm!

[@VanCityLuver]

So much fun watching Jordan and her pure joy at finding beautiful crystals!

[@garycrawford4700]

Well , your channel became much more attractive ( not because you removed your shirt). The addition of a beautiful young lady is always welcome. Thanks for the smiles.

[@richarddavies7419]

For peridot fans out there (I am one) Pakistan produces largish crystals, often bounded by perfect faces, the size of the tip of your thumb. Not from basalt, rather an altered magnesite that has been metamorphosed by hot fluids. Gem rough dealers offer these, about the same price range as gem garnet.

[@jameswelch1054]

The Pakistan material is the best, and recently an African country is producing some material near the Pakistan quality.

[@richarddavies7419]

@@jameswelch1054 Yes, Tanzania.. I just haven't cut any from there. Pakistan probably mines more, but the African material is abundant on the finished stone market.

JORDON is so cute and fun, the pretty princess got her gems, she prettied up the channel, I bet she pretties up every room she enters, WOW! So happy you made her day. I tell you one thing if I had to run back to the truck for something for her I bloody would, and I have not ran in 25 years.😅

[@thirstfast1025]

Beautiful gems! I'm definitely jealous! Wanted to make a couple points on what you were saying early on about the deposition of this material. Not that I'm disagreeing with you on how _this_ deposit occurred, but olivine can crystallize out of basaltic magma (though from the looks of this stuff, I'd agree with your xenolithic interpretation), and columnar basalt isn't always necessarily plutonic. If you have flood basalts that fill in deep troughs on surface, they can cool slowly enough to form columnar jointing. Great video, loved seeing you bring a noob out for such an exciting day, and best of luck moving forward with the permitting! Cheers!
