Dig and Collect Mooralla Smoky Quartz Crystals and Geodes | Mooralla Video #2

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- This is my second video on Mooralla. This time, we had more time to spend and was able to locate the source where big geodes containing the rare smoky quartz crystals are found. We dug at an existing abandoned hole that someone else has started. It rained the entire time we were there but made it easier to dig out the geodes containing the rare collector crystal.

That rain is lovely. Loved the piece with the baby crystal on top. I like that you throw some up for people to noddle, that's a new term you've taught me. Thank you I really enjoyed digging with you'll today 👍🏼 great fun
So nice to see you guys again out in the wild finding treasures!! I hope the fires are far, far away from you... I’m looking forward to seeing your lovely succulents again! Take good care !!!
Liz why u didnt upload video for a long time cann you upload at least once a week :)
Just been too busy with family and life in general. I try but I can't promise once a week as I can only upload when I get free time. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Lots of fun. I live in Iowa, USA and we have a ton of geodes in the southern part of the state, area called Keokuk.
Here is information about that place to find the www.weekendnotes.com/fossicking-for-mooralla-quartz-crystal/
Cheers Tony 👍🤓🍺⛏
Thanks Tony.
Someday Liz will grow another arm to be free of balancing the camera
Working on it...LOL
I'd love to see how you clean them Liz, I can't get over how perfect they come out.
Working on it Brad. I can't wait to upload it. You'd love it. Cheers, Liz
Wow, what a haul!! Can't believe how many eggs you got all up. Thank goodness for the rain hey. Gotta love fossicking when the ground is so soft. Nice work👍✌
Thanks for uploading this! Actually just been thinking of you and hoped to see another geode video
Hope you all are doing great :] !
I wish i could goto Australia just for the birds and crystals & etc.
luv your vids been watching for 5 years multiple accs
Glad to see your back!
What amazing crystals! It's worth all the work! 👍😊
Awwww... love seeing Pedro! 😘🐦🐦🐦
I love your enthusiasm, it looks like you guys had a ton of fun! Give the Boss a big hug, and Pedro a tiny hug, from all of us!
wow very lovely , but i have a question do you know where the best place to go in Texas for geodes hunting
I haven't been to Texas but had a quick look on the net for you. Link below. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz

Gorgeous geodes and smoky quartz crystals. Do you have a site that you sell on?
Not at the moment. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Beautiful crystals
Awesome LIZ/ BOSS
OMGosh - those are BEAUTIFUL! I am so jealous that there is nowhere to go where I live. I only have a few places to pick up Pecos Valley Diamonds on the ground along with the rest of the town and strangers.
I left a note on your last video inquiring if you ALL were doing alright during the fires? I hope you and others went unscathed. I left my email in that post ---- not a gmail address.
I feel sad for ALL the Koalas that burned and died. My news in the states is that way over 30,000 animals were destroyed by fire, mostly Koalas. I've been having a hard time - I fell last March of 2019 and shattered 3 bones in my left ankle and had surgery to fix it with metal and screws. And another surgery a month ago to remove 2 screws on the inside which were impeding healing. I also have a lump on my right breast and will have a biospy today to check if cancer or not.
Dammit Man!
I have missed watching you & Boss LOL and am hoping there will be more. Kisses to Pedro....
Hi Betty, I have replied to your comment regarding the fires. Obviously you didn't get it. Sorry about that. We're all fine.
With regards to places we go to look for gems and gold, they are far far away from us. The place in this video is about nine hundred kilometers from where we live. This is already close compared to other places we go to.
Sorry to also hear about your fall and surgeries. I hope you're feeling better and I pray that everything goes well with your biopsy. Hugs and kisses from Pedro and Liz. By the way, Pedro mentions you everyday. Cheers
Hi Betty! Do you mean to say you live in New Mexico?! My Grandmother lived in Roswell, NM and I have fond memories of hunting for Pecos Diamonds with my Mom, Dad and lil brother. I was 8 yrs old. I had shattered my leg and had a cast up to my hip. If I had been 13 or older they would have needed to pin it, too. 16 weeks in casts. Ugh. But my Dad is a hero and he carried me in his arms for hours (you know how us rockhounds are!!! :) and when I found a glitter, he would dip me down so I was hanging upside down and could pick up my little diamond clusters. Like a monkey. My parents always called us Monkeys. hehehehe! Sending you healing thoughts!
And Liz, thank you and the Boss for all of the great adventures! I'm so glad you have more videos coming out. My husband and I love your channels. We are huge fans! I get so excited with you. Kisses to Pedro!
Amazing video Liz!!! Thanks!
another awesome vid! youre really inspiring me to go out and fossick, unfortunately im in SA. Have you had any experience/luck with fossicking in SA?
Hi Cecilia, The opal fields of SA will have to be the pick for me. Andamooka, Coober Pedy and Mintabie. Concretion balls along the Nullarbor Plains is good fun too. There's also other places I'd like to go to that has a lot of gems and minerals. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Liz Kreate thank you so much for your insight, fingers crossed I can find some beauties x
Whoa I thought you had comments removed on your channel cause of coppa or whatever Liz 😮. Well anyways, great vid as always love your videos & I hope everything is well! 😁
I must take a trip here! Gotta wait a year or two until I can drive myself here as my parents don't have the patience to wait for me to dig around
So weird. Was thinking earlier today that Liz hadn't posted a video in ages...
Thank you 😊 beautiful Smokey quartz , 😊❤️✌🏻💙
Nice to see you both again. BTW this is golddiggerart on my sons account
Yay! Good to see another Wall and Liz Rock and mineral video😍
Liz its been too long, we've missed you dearly!
👍👍👍🙋
Wow!😲
It's nice to see you uploading again 😊
Hi guys long time no see we missed you both
Nice finds! What's the difference between smoky quartz and smoky citrine?
Both are quartz but Smoky quartz has a grey tone while citrine has a yellow tone. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Amazing pieces, so beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
thats crazy! as usual, blowing my mind!!
I enjoy watching your videos. ..I wish I'm close where you are , I want to have crystals too
Thanks for watching Jeanette and glad to know you're enjoying my videos. Cheers, Liz
We are looking up Moralla now, we are 5 hrs from the border of vic, south west NSW, West Wyalong, so wanting to go and get some olivine where you showed us & some beautiful Moralla smokey.
Thank you again for teaching us a little more. Muchly appreciated 🙏🏼
Safe travels & look forward to the next video of your adventures 💞💞💞
Does the Australian fire affect your precious stones findings?
The locations we usually go to are not affected by the current fires. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
@@LizKreate can you post more videos on your baby Petro please.
I want to take a vacation and noodle or dig Where would you recommend for a first time ! ❤️💋🤟🏻
It all depends where you are. I'm in Australia and we travel thousands of miles to some locations I have on my videos. All of them are productive and easy to find gems if you know how which I've also shown on these videos. My videos shows the different gem locations and all the necessary information are available online. Good luck and stay safe.
Liz, Wow, amazing finds. I really like how you inserted pictures of some of your finds after they were cleaned up. Pat S
Liz , I love noodlers, because they do not dig as much. We must take care of our home. The beautiful planet earth. Much love you guys.
We have been out at Mooralla the last 3 days and only seem to be able to find the small Geodes do you think we need to go deeper?
You'll have to dig to about two meters down to get to the bigger geodes. The deeper you dig, the bigger they get.
Sure is fun to watch especially since it is snowing here. Beautiful crystals!! Thanks for sharing!
thanks guys for vid, absolutely loving the morallas, and watching how their dug makes my mouth water even more, would be amazing to actually find some myself one day
Thank you for sharing 🥰
So much fun to see your fossicking adventures and great finds. Your sense of fun and enthusiasm is contagious! I am so happy to see a Pedro too! Thank you for sharing.
How long would it take to get through the ground to the depth required?
Depends on ones digging capability. The council has been filling up the holes lately, so different areas will have different depths.
If you got down the hill towards the dried up creek u can get some nice citrine ones and some nice herkimer diamonds. But very rare to find the smokeys down there.
Much love to you both, and to all the living things in Australia in these scary times!
Nice egg hunt Liz and Boss! Glad to see you back... 😄
My kids likes to go foreseeking there , oh my thats alot ,
holy molly that's a monster haul!!!! DANG!!!!
It's hard to just keep one. Thanks for watching.💕
Your caravan is exactly my age! I want one so bad. My Aunt my mother and their brothers loved to go out into the desert and explore everywhere they went. They collected artifacts from arrow heads to corn grinders and all sorts of things working with the natural history museum. I have Inherited that will to explore and I am a rockhound through and through. I unfortunately lost several family members including my precious beautiful mother and 2 older brothers and my wonderful mother in law all from covid. My aunt passed away a while back from cancer as well as my Step mother. I wish I had them to take me to all those places they told me about all through the mountains in our local area. There are several places like the Gila cliff dwellings from our Native ancestors.there are so many petroglyphs deep in the deserts of New Mexico. I would love to go rockhounding but my husband doesn't really care about rockhounding in 110 degree heat. My kids are also not into it either but I am hoping my daughter will eventually like rockhounding. She shows a bit of interest! Thank you Liz, I really do enjoy your videos and I get just as excited about what you find o. Your trips!
I'm sorry to hear about your lost Toby. We normally go prospecting in winter as the weathers a little cooler. Thanks for watching and hope you get the chance to explore and find some gems. Cheers, Liz
Another great video Liz, it's been a while since your lastone.
Great little geodes, just wondering if they can be cut open with a Dremel tool with a little diamond blade.
Keep Rockin
These mooralla geodes can easily be cut using a dremel tool. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Missed you lol stones stones. Stones I want more stones.
Have you watched Mama Mia? Its a tasteful musical type movie that features Meril Streep and all the ABBA songs, the first musical type movie I had watched besides Todd Sweeny and I was instantly enthralled. I had never heard of the band Abba, before I watch Mamma Mia and now I
cant help but love the music and sing along!
Have I watched Mama Mia? What a silly question...LOL
In saying that....that reminds me that we were away when the second Mama Mia came out and I forgot to watch it....Arghhhhh. Thanks for reminding me. Take care and stay safe. Cheers, Liz
Thanks for sharing Liz. When I watch your videos I feel like I am there in a field with you guys. Amazing feeling.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
You need a go pro on your head so you have 2 hands !😁🤔😋
I'm am a new subscriber to your channel, and need to ask the question which you have probably been asked a thousand times. What do you do with all the stuff you find once it has been cleaned? Can you make a living digging for these things?
We mainly fossick for our own personal use but I know of a lot of people who makes a decent living out of doing this. Thanks for watching and subscribing. Hope you enjoy watching my videos. Cheers, Liz
Awesome adventure wow beautiful crystals inside them eggs so amazing and all them geodes wow awesome thank you for taking us along
You're most welcome and thank you also for watching. Stay safe and healthy. Cheers, Liz
This must be addictive!! You need to get yourself a head camera mount😉🤣 have fun!!
Hi Louise, I did get a head mount camera but find that I can't work with it. Thanks for watching and hope you continue to put up with my wobbly camera work. Cheers, Liz
🤝👍👍👍⛏👏👏👏
those are just lovely! what fun! were you two safe from the fires i hope??
There was a couple of close call as we're out of town where the fires were but got home safely. Thanks for your concern. Cheers, Liz
So good to you and Pedro all ok!
So happy for you and me 2 !
Why not get a gopro with a chest mount? Fun vid!
Been there done that. It gets in the way and the footage I filmed are unusable. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
another very pleasing video from the fab two..thanks for taking us along once again..do you guys have a site that you sell your finds on ?
Not at the moment but will open up my online shop again in the future. Thanks for watching. Take care and stay healthy. Cheers, Liz
@@LizKreate thanks Liz..You guys stay safe and well too..
Awesomely cool.
Wht will u do on th4ise crystals. AFter u taken them
Will clean them and make them into different wonderful things. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
@@LizKreate I love all your video's Thank you for all the work and the teaching you do... I am in Brisbane and one day when they open the boarders I would love to mine my own but I was hoping to purchase some of these Mooralla crystals.. would sell them? .
Can i please have the address i am having trouble finding it .😊
Thanks for watching Jessica. The best way to find this spot is to google it on your phone..."Mooralla fossicking area" and the result will show GOOGLE MAPS "Beear Fossicking Area," campground in Mooralla, Victoria. Click DIRECTION and it will take you to the spot. Good luck and hope you find heaps. Cheers, Liz
@@LizKreate thank you so much x
great job , how or where do you know to go to find them in vic
In my opinion, eighty percent of a successful fossicking trip is due to research.. Most of the information are now available on the net if one wants to know. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
@@LizKreate ok thank you ile try to look not reany good on computer stuff ha ha
Hi Liz, when did you go ?We went last year and the whole area was covered in bees & European wasps. We had to leave because there was just too many
August last year. Stayed for a couple of weeks and rained the whole time, freezing cold and we also had snow. Cheers, Liz
@@LizKreate that would have been amazing!
This is when we had the pleasure of meeting you both. We have been back 3 or 4 times now. Very addictive. Great video!
@@rocoscott7195 heya im in the district but im having a hard time finding the address, id love if you could share that with me tia 😊
