    You see them as we see them after 500 Million years in the making. We found 5-6 pockets chasing an Anthraxolite seam. Great trip to Herkimer New York and looking forward to going back!

      Thanks Thirst Fast! You won't regret going, amazing mining. For sure if you see the black Anthraxolite be sure to chase it and keep smashing rock, it leads to the good stuff! We got that tip from a guy who mines there almost every weekend for years... he has a basement full!

    Good job , watched both of your vids. about the Ace of Diamonds , and looks like the best stuff I have seen come out of there in 30 yrs. . I started going there back in 1975 . Where the tailings piles are in the video from 2017 , is where the wall was back in 1975 . Where the shop is in that same video is where the parking lot was . I took my children there in 1988 , I hope to take my grandkids there this summer . I have some very fond memories from there . Great video .

    My grandparents took me here when I was like 6 or 7 years old I remember trying all day to find one of these quartz crystals with no luck later in the afternoon I was in the gift shop and saw a stone with a massive rock imbedded in it, I picked the rock up off the shelf and ran out the front door with it and ran back to our RV thinking I was going to be a rich man, I threw the rock on the couch and yelled at my grandpa you have to drive !!! Let’s get out of here..... they made me carry it back in the shop and apologize, the store owner gave me my own little stone to keep, Ahahah I would have forgot if it weren’t for this video and for my grandpa teaching me a lesson about stealing obviously

    We have a bag full of beautiful herkimer diamonds most found when my husband found a pocket and was able to pull most of them out.Turned some into earrings and sister turned one or 2 into wands. But what market is there to sell these quartz to make money or is it just a money maker for those who have the mines to charge people to come dig these stones?

    This may sound weird, but a Long handled ‘back scratcher’ (like a mini mini rake) would bring the gravel out easier then finger would.
    Perhaps a bamboo one would be less like to scratch the crystals.

    • @RoughMarket
      @RoughMarket  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a really good idea actually, not weird at all! If I come across one of those I will pick up and add it to the tools. In hindsight I should just opened up the holes a bit more to make life easier but in the moment you focus on preserving more then ease of retrieval. Thanks for the tip, and watching!

No mention from anyone in the shop paying mining fees either. If they have closed this area, there is no mention of it. When we do go again I'll find out more info. Thanks for the heads up.

      Herkimers are mostly double terminated and mostly clear like water. Some have inclusions, but the rest of the stone is clear. They are the hardest quartz on the Moshi scale. Other quartz crystals can be all different shaped. Google the difference you'll get better info there

    @FoxyfloofJumps 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The video's a little blurry, shaky at times. But this is the way to mine properly. So much good material goes to waste because people are in a hurry to haul as much out as fast as possible.
    If you were using jackhammers, or back-hoes to open these pockets, you'd destroy almost as much as you pulled out of the ground, and damage half of what was left.

    • @RoughMarket
      @RoughMarket  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely. We see a lot of smashed and broken ones from the commercial mining going on. They are careful but it's hard to avoid when using heavy equipment. It' not commercial for us so we enjoy taking our time :) Thanks for watching!
