- Mrs. Shell Casing Kid & I checked out a secret creek near an old quarrying location. Check out this video to see what we found...
The best amazonite you need to dig down for, next to the old wooden bridge on the back side of the hill if you follow the stream up from there towards the condos you will see where it erodes out of by the 1000. I have a solid 100 plus pound of the amazonite and maybe 50 plus of the moontones which weathers out at the top of the creek on the other side of the hill.
Great video, beautiful minerals, I admire the people who search for them.
Awesome trip to mineral hill ;)
I actually made a sound when you picked up that first “un-IDed” piece saying something about moonstone and then I saw the blue flash!!!! 😍😍😍 just getting into rockhounding going out with my friend today in a similar area! We are stoked!
Thanks for watching & the comment Andrea Fairservice! I hope you had a great day out rock hounding. Please check back again sometime soon - Paul

Thank you TheCaptainShow, thanks for checking out my channel - Paul
I have dug mineral hill for 9 years my friend who is a geologist believes the peg that produced all this is connected some how to smedley where you fine the green beryl. I believe there are a bunch of peg out crops around delco. Mineral hill you will find what I be sunstone to be embedded in the moonstone and amazonite, but it needs to be tested. There is an area where the moonstone bleeds out of the side again by the 1000s, not all is moonstone but i usually fill a large bag with potienial pieces , I think you get everything correct, I have cabbed about 100 pieces of amazonite and moonstone and maybe 5 sunstones they are pretty rare, I even cabbed what looks to be a sunstone mixed with blue moonstone.

Actinolite is actually asbestos, hence why it looks like "fiberglass".
Thank you for the information @akaychi Thanks also for watching - Paul

Very cool, where was this??
Thanks for watching m schmidt. I really don't want to post where this location is online since it's a pretty fragile area that can't handle a lot of people heading there. I hope you understand. All the best to you - Paul
