Y’all big news coming! Will be doing some public digs very very soon at a special place!! Sign up with the crystal Collector supporters page to be the first invited to these digs!! Thanks y’all for watching and sharing this video! Y’all be sure to turn on your notifications for these videos, gonna be doing some video Crystal giveaways!
I would love to come on a dig, unfortunately I live on the other side of the world🥺 I'll just keep watching your videos and enjoy the experience that way. Can't wait to see what's next and stay safe out there 😊
Like you "Rory Da Nutty Squirrel", I would love to come and do an excavation but I also live on the other side of the world in the French Alps. And a big thank you to you "The Crystal Collector" for your excellent videos. I've been following you for years now and it made me want to do like you. I have created some modest prospecting videos on my channel. I prospect in the French Alps and we rarely find large specimens here. But what a pleasure to find your natural gems. Thank you again and keep making us dream.
@@TheCrystalCollector is this a secret location? I am only 4 hour drive from there. Whaaaatttttt love the video!! Have been a rock hound for 35 years, 5 years old it began. Love this channel!
For a 9 minute video there was a lot happening. Guy going on a dig up a mountain in sandals, someone has had a haircut, looks good btw, Matrix nearly getting taken out by a rock, that was so damn close to his little legs. Finding some gorgeous crystals and everyone having a great time👍👍 well worth watching this and all of the videos on your channel, keep up the great work and stay safe out there 😊
Those were great finds! Never knew such large garnets could form next to black tourmaline! I’ve dug up tourmaline in San Diego & garnets in North Carolina, but nothing of this scale! Those were some great picture taking opportunities of Matrix, too. I’m glad he didn’t get hurt & It’s so cute to see him making buddies, too, along your journeys together! Stay well my friend!
Could you do more 30 minutes + videos. I love the longer videos especially the pocket videos. Your a brilliant creator and I love your channel and content, keep up the awesome work
Sweet! I remember going nacknin somewhere.. lol... above fort collins to an old alabaster mine decades ago... bit of an easy hike in, open areas, but harder out, carrying all those rocks.. lol
Your friends Thumb ring really blew me away, I can't tell if it's one of those wire wraps or not but it caught my eye really well. My Father mined up a tourmaline this large out in South Dakota many years ago, he was the only one to do so on a whole class field trip. A friend of his dropped it and it broke into 4. It's a good thing I know where I can find that many more as it's almost his birthday, and I've been looking forward to a crystal trip.
Amazing & Beautiful finds ❤ give adorable little Matrix and all the fur babies my love 🙏❤ Thank you for more amazing videos Bryan! 🙏❤ Much respect always!
I know Nico personally! Worked with him at cannapunch, I've always wanted to go hound with him! I have a bad leg now. Love your videos man! I am a colorado native and would love to know what I can find
@@TheCrystalCollector For sure! If you travel near Idaho Springs, check out Indian Springs hot springs. Rent the outdoor tubs, call to reserve, then check out O My God road, head to Central city then go past the old cemeteries about 5 miles up you will see beautiful chunks of quartz laying all over! Beautiful site to see. 💎😎
Really looking forward to a trip to Colorado in the future. It’s such a beautiful place and who knew there were so many fantastic rockhounding sites in the state?! I just have to collect a few more wheelbarrow loads full of nice Missouri druzy first! Oh... and some geodes too! Stay well friend 🧚🏻♀️✨🦷😄
Watch out for Bears, Mountain lions, bobcats & Rattle snakes & freak snow storms and the altitude Woah holy cow you're actually in my hometown Fort Collins right down in old town square
I don't remember ever seeing black tourmaline before Bryan, they seem fragile and is that usual please? Matrix and friends were so tired after all the running about and climbing, I think I would have needed a sleep too lol. They were not easy to remove from the rocks but the first two were very large, and the garnets looked very dark, I had trouble trying to tell the difference (though that could be because I need new glasses lol). I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us next sweetheart, take care and stay safe please my friend, love and hugs to you and Matrix Mary-Ellen UK
Yes these were fragile as they were in a decaying process, if we could split that rock and get deeper they would likely in better condition. That would be too much work 😆 I’m finally about to drop off your package!!!! Yay !!! Had a tooth issue I was dealing with last two weeks but it’s good now!
@@TheCrystalCollector thank goodness its better, I dont know which I dislike more, toothache or the dentist lol. At least its over now and you are able to do what you wish with no mouth discomfort sweetheart. Thank you for letting me know the parcel, I shall let you know when it arrives here. Terry is going to take it to show Rob at his shop though I told him I shall photograph them to make sure I get them back lol. God bless you and Matrix Mary-Ellen UK
Wow, NICO is totally tuned to black tourmalines! That is an amazing mountain to have such huge black tourmalines! They are said to be good at emoving and dispelling negative energy.. I love how ex item Matrix is, she Such a cute dog.
Matrix is freaking me out, with his cliff-sitting. I'm sure he's fine but it's hard to watch! Y'all pulled one giant garnet out with the really defined facets and it was absolutely gorgeous! Looks like it was a great day! Good job, y'all!
is it just me or are the walls made out of quartz? oh and i just wanted to say, i know this kind of videos doesn't get as many views as amethyst mining videos with jake, but these videos are probably my favorite on youtube ever. I like them because they are always in a different spot, with different and special minerals. one time its wavelite, on time its selenite, one time its garnet, quartz geodes, tourmaline, and you know, the list keeps going on, these are just the latest. so thanks for making the best content ever and please keep doing so.
....and the dogs are getting sleepy 😂🤣💖🙏✨🌛 near Fort Collins?? Nice!! Spent some magical moments in the forest near Fort Collins, I didn't find any tourmaline or garnets though......I want to though 😁☺️
I wish I could do this as a job. I can’t with my severe fatigue issues; and where I live, all I am able to find are agates. Thank you for uploading these so I can (through you) live the dream.
So cool! I have augite with olivine crystals up in the mountains in Oregon it’s a semi known area but I’m still hunting the large ones! ❤ great video thanks
I am so jealous I wouldn't Colorado all my life I've been hunting rocks for years now I live on the other side of those mountains Montrose Colorado I cup through your a and Ridgway now as then I can get to Silverton in Telluride but never have I found anything as beautiful as what you guys found in Fort Collins thank you for sharing.
Beautiful finds! Sorry to be one of those people, but do you have any recommendations for good public or pay to enter crystal sites on the east coast? I’m trying to find a place where I can find some nice garnets.
Around the tourmaline was (almost) clear crystal, I know tourmaline is beautiful when polished but raw it looks like charcoal and my head cant handle that you chose charcoal over clear crystal XD
you do some great digs - i just missed you in keokuk iowa a few weeks ago - im leaving for kentucky wednesday night , in hopes of the geode hunting in the green river . looking for a rare find and will work hard to get some treasures, would be nice to find agates and maybe some purple stones.
To bad you didn't go find some amazonite or tarryall topaz lol my favorite areas to dig for stuff, mainly fluorite, amazonite, smoky quartz and topaz and pretty awesome white and pink feldspar crystals.
I found a piece of tourmaline poking out of a boulder in Glade Park Colorado on the western slope near the Utah border. I destroyed my pocket knife chipping it out of the rock. I think I still have that piece of stone in my collection somewhere. It was only about as big around as the end of my finger. Still a good find.
It's pretty incredible. It's a very thin, long, teal and olive colored crystal. The cluster on the end is stunning through a loup. You can see it with the naked eye, but, magnified.......jaw dropping. Well, for me anyway. LOL
That’s awesome!!! I’m planning a trip with my 7 year old son to find our birthstone natural in nature it would be super cool if you could give me some pointers such as location. I should also mention I’ve never mined for crystals

I hope you're keeping the mica because I'm sure there's lots of people that would be interested in purchasing that.
Matrix steels the show again. Such a cutie pie.
I've got a ton of this stuff on my property. Time to start digging.
I would love to dig with my friends. If you would be intressed in letting us for a price.
Holy cow! That’s amazing!!! I think Matrix is part mountain goat 😍
Pilo Milo what do you need help with
Pilo Milo how do I give you money
That was an amazing place! Beautiful pieces! Matrix definitely having fun!
Man what a way to show a great day, the crystals all piled up, and the dogs out like a light. Love it dude!
Wow, ive never seen tourmaline that large. Gorgeous. Hey Matrix (and friends)

Cool beyond words!! I collect Crystals. Very nice 👍
I love all the new locations recently. Can’t wait to see where you’ll be next
WOW. Great video. I always wondered how much work is involved in pulling out rods in quartz matrix. Yep, it as bad as I imagined 😢
Amazing video! I didn’t realize tourmaline got that big!!!! 😲👍😍
Those are massive tourmalines! Great work!!
Awesome finds mate ⛏️😎👌
Oh my goodness it looks like Fearless Matrix is sleeping right on the edge there
First time I’ve seen black tourmaline and that was a great hike even Matrix had a great time hiking with other dogs too!
🐾🐾woof woof 🐾🐾
They were some awesome dark crystals coming out that rock. Matrix loved to be exploring the cliffs there. You could see him saying this is great fun
Well done, you two, well done--beautiful finds. And looks like Matrix is taking advantage of some free Colorado grass, LOL. ;)
What a find. Looked like work, but the reward was worthwhile. Love your videos. 👍🏻❤️
Omg so fun!!! Great location and incredible stones!
Amazing adventures as always!! You guys are awesome 😁🤗

Thank you for more amazing videos Bryan! 🙏❤ Much respect always!
Hey Brian! Much better with a shave & a haircut! Nice to see you west of the Mississippi! Great video! This is one thing that drives me crazy
I've made some nice jewelry pieces from black tourmaline. Nice stone to work with IMO. 👍
P.S. Must say you clean up nicely 😂
Matrix looks like he is saying, " look daddy, I'm not having trouble climbing up the big rocks" 🥰
Did you see Matrix sleeping on the edge of the cliff at the very end?😵😲 He must be part mountain goat! 🐐
I know Nico personally! Worked with him at cannapunch, I've always wanted to go hound with him! I have a bad leg now. Love your videos man! I am a colorado native and would love to know what I can find
SaaWeet! Checked out Fisher mtn Thursday! Thank you for the heads up! Super fun! 💎😁🦋
Awesome! It’s a fun place, the conditions can change according to how much fresh dirt is being flipped around and brought up

Merciful cats! Schorl city! The black is the best! Metaphysically an elite and much sought after stone🤦🙆

Makes me seriously appreciate the little pieces I have here in England. Great share 😚😚😎
Matrix approved!🐶👍
Haha, the doggies are like "slow pokes"
Great Job! love your channel!
Awesome 😎 Beautiful keep on keeping on with the videos !
Oh my word, that tourmaline is amazing!!!
Matrix is freaking me out, with his cliff-sitting. I'm sure he's fine but it's hard to watch! Y'all pulled one giant garnet out with the really defined facets and it was absolutely gorgeous! Looks like it was a great day! Good job, y'all!
beautifully😱👍
I love schorl! Wow
is it just me or are the walls made out of quartz? oh and i just wanted to say, i know this kind of videos doesn't get as many views as amethyst mining videos with jake, but these videos are probably my favorite on youtube ever.

Always fun watching 👍
Your hair looks great !
This is another excellent video!!!!!🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊
Love the country and the dig is the best
You should come to Maine! We have tourmaline here that’s pink and green, and lots of quartz... Love watching your channel, and seeing Matrix! ❤️
Whereabouts in Maine?
Nice. Tourmaline is my fave.
Love me some black tourmaline. That mustve been so fun.
ótimo garimpo ,abraços aqui do Brasil ...
I wish I could do this as a job. I can’t with my severe fatigue issues; and where I live, all I am able to find are agates.
Thank you for uploading these so I can (through you) live the dream.
increibe estar estudiando geologia y poder ver tus videos!!!!
🙏💯💜
Lapis 💙 gem peridot 💚 ❤️spinel
So cool! I have augite with olivine crystals up in the mountains in Oregon it’s a semi known area but I’m still hunting the large ones! ❤ great video thanks
My Birth stone wow those are supper nice
Hi Bryan . Great video. Please stay safe and healthy and take care of yourself and your. To all members also. Talk to you later my friend. ☺☺☺😇😇😇
Thank you. Cool. ☺☺☺😇😇😇
Is that black tourmaline? Wow i just wanted a lil bity.
Amazing finds!
Got some nice pieces Collector.
Can I publicly demand that every episode start with that clip of matrix runnnnning through the field please
Cool! Sans Souci 😊
I am so jealous I wouldn't Colorado all my life I've been hunting rocks for years now I live on the other side of those mountains Montrose Colorado I cup through your a and Ridgway now as then I can get to Silverton in Telluride but never have I found anything as beautiful as what you guys found in Fort Collins thank you for sharing.
Is the rock pegmatite?
Beautiful finds! Sorry to be one of those people, but do you have any recommendations for good public or pay to enter crystal sites on the east coast? I’m trying to find a place where I can find some nice garnets.
Colorado's a dream of mine to visit🥰
Around the tourmaline was (almost) clear crystal, I know tourmaline is beautiful when polished but raw it looks like charcoal and my head cant handle that you chose charcoal over clear crystal XD
I live in Denver, and would love to go grab 5 of those tourmaline crystals for my family...
I noticed certain gems hang around much mica, from my experience also.
you do some great digs - i just missed you in keokuk iowa a few weeks ago - im leaving for kentucky wednesday night , in hopes of the geode hunting in the green river . looking for a rare find and will work hard to get some treasures, would be nice to find agates and maybe some purple stones.
Matrix has become such a huge part of your channel! Not sure if I look forward to the crystals, or to Matrix.
I use to live in Colorado! Almost a year since I've moved!
Wish i would've done this before i moved
Luv ur vids!
Some of the mica you found is also flakes of pyrite. That is what the miners threw away when looking for gold.
That first big piece is worth atleast 100$ where I live 🤩
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!! 💯🙌💎💜⚒
すごく楽しそう！犬も可愛い💕
To bad you didn't go find some amazonite or tarryall topaz lol my favorite areas to dig for stuff, mainly fluorite, amazonite, smoky quartz and topaz and pretty awesome white and pink feldspar crystals.

Beauty full
Black tourmaline makes my Geiger counter go clickety click.💪
Que maravilha ❤️
That rock missing matrix tho
What is the black tourmaline used for? I don't see it in jewelry places.
My favorite piece of tourmaline has a teeny tiny quartz cluster on it's tip.
It's pretty incredible. It's a very thin, long, teal and olive colored crystal. The cluster on the end is stunning through a loup. You can see it with the naked eye, but, magnified.......jaw dropping. Well, for me anyway. LOL
That’s awesome!!! I’m planning a trip with my 7 year old son to find our birthstone natural in nature it would be super cool if you could give me some pointers such as location. I should also mention I’ve never mined for crystals
If you are going to sell any rainbow points, I would love a 1 inches.
