Welcome back mineral miners! Thank you for joining us for another adventurous video! In today's video you'll see us back at the Chrysocolla occurrence that we discovered, called Barela Blue Chrysocolla! We started getting into some great material, similar to gem silica, and ran into stunning purple fluorite! We are excited to get back and do some more digging on this site. Don't forget to like ...

I found huge black ⚫ one in Iraq but it was very big ...
Great video. Nice meeting you today. Thanks for all the info. Ed
How do you like your super slow brother? I just got mine this last week.
@MichaelCuevas-bg2bt I actually sold it because I wasn't using it. I know people that use them and recover a good bit of gold if heard dream mats on them work great
@@MojaveMineralMiners yes dream mats are the best, I tested mine with a bag of paydirt w/ 1 gram of gold inside it and the first 2 rows/riffles caught almost everything instantly .. I want to make my A52s into the mini max conversion, as well as buy the Gold monster 1000. Thanks for your help and input. I went to Big Tujunga and Big Rock creek in SoCal with nothing found but not giving up on it. I just picked up a very strong 💪🏽 liking to gold prospecting in middle of this year and I’m excited and glad to have. I got the fever 😂 .. any rivers/creeks you know of besides the East fork San Gabriel and Kern River which I plan visiting soon… I live in Santa Clarita home of the Placerita Area when gold was first discovered in California before becoming a state. I’m in love with the history, my backyard in literally Placerita Creek and Nature center… I feel it’s calling me. Legendary place, I simply went to Santa Clara River/now Wash and filled two half buckets 🪣 with sand and mostly gravel to pan at home and in each pan was small gold, not pickers nor anything like that but definitely Gold. (Btw, some of USA 🇺🇸 first ever minted gold coins came out of these rivers, first and foremost Placerita and was sent back by Wells Fargo stagecoach back east side to be minted.
What state is that that you’re in?
California
Beautiful! Would you mind sharing location? I was in Afton Canyon, but i couldn't get to where I was trying! 😅 Still found some beautiful chalcedony, and calcite as well as nice jaspers
Lavic
awesome pieces! love your videos!
😍😍😍
is the matrix quartz?
A very good job, some lovely bits of matrix there. I am about to try treating some I found while outback Australia at Andamooka. Hopefully it will work well. Is there any other acid you can use or substitute for the sulfuric acid? Regards Andy Poverty prospecting Australia 🇦🇺
@@andypandyAU.6669 Only Sulfuric Acid will work
@@MojaveMineralMiners okay thanks for the quick reply! Cheers Andy PPA 👍
Very cool
So beautiful!
Is this permanent? Wont loose colours and "style" on time?
@bialy100k Yes it's permanent but how deep the treatment penetrates into the stone varies per piece. Only way to take the carbon our is to soak in a heated bleach solution but it won't fully undarken it and it also damages the stone
Awesome buddy, thank you for making the video
I'm glad to see you guys doing well. Can't wait to buy another piece of matrix from you guys. Love your content. Keep them coming!
This guy is not very intelligent
You found a nice vein. Gorgeous color.
I love Barela Blue..it looks so much like Opal.
Thankyou I appreciate that it definitely looks like Indonesian Blue Opal

Bro please learn to edit ur vids , there is sooooo much nonsense that should never made the cut. Like y did half this vid consist of u lightly scraping dirt with a pick ,and having a random Convo with some guy .. NOBODY WANTS TO WATCH THAT! . u do have some cool rocks/minerals, and that's what people want to c , I mean no disrespect, ur vids would be great if u just left the nonsensical shit out,or at least reduce it significantly. . I hope u take my criticism lightly ,but do cocuder what I am say... Ok I'm done being an asshole lol best of luck to u
I'm not your bro thanks for watching no offense taken but kick rocks dude NO ONE wants to hear your negativity. The conversation was had with my good friend who happens to run one of the best rock shows in the state beginning conversation was about the show which was upcoming at the time. I found some points of our commentary somewhat comical that's why it was included. Not everyone watches to see rocks exclusively sometimes entertainment is for people who can't get out and do it themselves so it's partially about the experience. It's degraded basalt not dirt. If the video was cut to just when the rocks were exposed it would be like 30 seconds. We dig for hours it's a 20 minute video. Our videos are also educational which includes what it takes to get to the minerals. Plenty of people ask how we do it and enjoy watching I have handfuls of people who come see us at every show that watch it all and enjoy it. Over 20% of viewers for this video watched the entirety of the video so obviously it was worth watching. When you do the math that's over 200 people and you're the only one who complained.
These videos you be creating is 100%, every alot more people who makes videos similar should show more of and teach the ones who are interested in doing this themselves
Beautiful and interesting material.
Thank you for allowing us to share in your finds, keep on diggin ! 👍👍
You would almost need a rope and harness to get the really big chunk of it hanging there. You can follow the vein if you look all the way down, you see color. I do wire wrapping and I would LOVE to wrap a small piece of that. It is really scenic and beautiful stone! 😍
I live in Indiana where there is nothing but cornfields and flat land for as far as your eyes can see. There is nothing around here. If I ever did come across something like any of what you found, I would probably pass out from excitement. 🤣It's all so beautiful and such fun to go out and look/collect. It's hard work, but well worth it. Hopefully one day I will travel and be able to hunt down agate or anything, I'm not picky.. 🥲 How exciting it would be to actually have something like that?! NEW SUB!!
Thanks for the support if you ever fin yourself out this way shoot me a dm on insta
saw the Rhodochrosite on your etsy store. First of looks like a LATTE STONE/GUAM, THEN CARVED PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON, AN EAGLE AND... Anyway didn't see the what you call Barella Blue- Bet you sold out. By chance what does etsy get- %%% wise- more than 20%-40%???
WHERE DO I FIND YOUR STORE ONLINE SO I CAN PERUSE YOUR PRODUCTS??? Just want to add to our collection for our 6 Children, 10 Grand-Children and 8 Great Grand-BAMBINOS!!! Just Building Up to add on to 20+lbs of Shattukite, 20+lbs Chrysocolla in Quartz, 30+lbs of High Grade KingMan Gold and Silver Ore supposedly mined decades ago by a gentleman who passed on in his late 90's about 2yrs ago=(Hardness is super hard, Varieties of colors in just the Rocks Light To Dark the matrix starts to put on a shine at even the 600wheel of Rosies 6"CabKing. anyways why am I even telling you a bit of what we are investing for our Family. My POPS passed on when I was young December, 17 of 1973 he was going to retire that year and then move from Guam to Oregon??? Oregon-because it has the same Tax system.
Give me a call 7603736201
I see you have a Hi-Tech Trim saw. I have one just like it Young Sir. Thought my WIFE how TOOOSSSS. We about hitting our 70's-how how time flew-hehehe we Married in February 14, 1976 on Valentines' Day, not BAD HEY= Two Birds in One Stone-!!!
My Wife and I also got married on the 14th but of October coming up on 7 years time sure does fly we've been together almost 10 years my partner in crime. I love my Hi Tech Diamond Saw that little thing is a beast I have bigger saws but that 6 inch does the majority of my cutting have easily cut 100s of feet of material on it still using the blade it came with. I wanna get the 10 inch version.
@@MojaveMineralMiners We PURCHASED a Tile Saw at Harbor The Freight and it is a Beast of A Saw, Especially on Montana Agates, Brazilian Agates and Actually All AGATES in General. Oh and Jade-it handles it quite well as well as Black Jade. It savoys a lot of time. BTW Wa also decided to purchase the Trim Saw attachment for our 6”CabKing Machine and haven’t tried it out yet, But looking forward to it.
Happy 14th anniversary and Marriage Day Young Sir. Marriage is a Journey and an Adventure for me. Never A Dull Moment. 6 Children, 11 Grand Children and 8 Great Grand Bambino’s. Hehehehe. Which is why we are Building A Collection for Them All!!! At present I am grinding Thunder Eggs. They are Tough And tried many ways to grind as quickly as I can. Well I Discovered a Method and appears I am Breezing through them at the Moment. THANK GOD THE ALMIGHTY In JESUS NAME ANS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!
@ROCKINWHEELERS The Holy Spirit I'd truly our greatest help as believers everyday I say thank you Lord for the help he provides
nice christie cola bro. looks a lot like plasma agate.
Nice! I wanna see it cut!
🤩👍👍
Will you be selling cabochons?
I will be and I do have a couple available message me on insta
I wanna go hunting with you guys! Hiked up and down AC last year after the monster rains. Found killer seam agate chunks right in the main wash bed. Incredible pieces. We camp there and Razr up to Top Notch the “back way” too. Gotta have lockers though. Nice, nice pieces. Congrats.
Most those old claims with mineral rights are still owned usually big mining companies bought them up when gold was down so don’t post incriminating things with out knowing the status of the mine you’re dumping your mining waste into BLM watches TH-cam I recognize the spot out by Barstow
Your find has the potential to give B.C. Ocean Picture Stone, a run for its money!! Beautiful material!!!!
Thank you that means a lot we are just starting to mine it out and I can only hope we start pulling put big chunks like Dan Hurd up in BC
Amazing find! Let me know if you ever need a strong back to carry your material out of the desert👍🏻
Great video brother, thanks for sharing. Yeah that edge does look a little spooky but... when the rocks are a callin, hard to resist.
Was für ein tolles Material. Schade das ich hier so etwas nicht finden kann.
I have seen some pretty amazing stuff from Germany you'd be surprised what you could find there but we are truly blessed with our geology here in California. Danke fürs zuschauen.
Yikes, that’s some scary a** mining there, man. Livin’ on the edge! Is this on a claim?
Yes its on our claim and suprisingly enough I feel very comfortable living on the edge haha
I love the Cadys that little nodule is beautiful
I think if I come across a find like this I would not be able to physically move, I’d be so awe struck! Absolutely stunning you all.
How much time boil in sugar solution and after sugar solution how much time put in sulfuric acid and how much temperature required for sugar solution and sulfuric acid solution please guide
I will be posting a video within a week or so that contains all that info hit the bell notification button next to subscribe to be notified when it's posted
