hi dude can you put an approx price if you sell this amount to a jeweler how much he would pay you ? i know u don't do it for the money but i'm still curious like if you find a crazy ass peridot big like your hand and clean does it worth anything or not really cause it's common .
can you sell me one of them ?
I suggest taking the Forest Service Road that is on the west side of the Fraser River north of Lillooet BC. it's a good road in a minivan to the end of the road, a beautiful drive. There is a Rift that spewed out lots of lava all over the top of that mountainous area. I have driven to the end of that road. Nice video.

Just found your channel...looks like we're in for a good time! 👍
Oh what fun! Being in nature! And finding treasures! Make sure you leave an offering to Mother Earth! She will give you bounty, for the gratitude! Thank you! I found some dark green crystals on Vancouver island! Fabulous!
ive just dicovered my love for gems and minerals in the last week, going down this rabbit hole hard! thanks for the video i live in Vancouver and hope to get exploring this spring! hopefully pemby will have what im craving!
Awesome thank you hoping to make a trip this summer be safe like to see more of your videos again thank you be safe
that was your best vid yet,informative and entertaining,that is the biggest peridot i have seen from B.C, nice find
Thank you! I'll be bringing a gopro and drone on all trips from now on.
that drone footage is amazing,next level
Wow!!!!! Beautiful and very interesting. Peridot is my birthstone and I didn't even know we had it in Canada. Great video! Life long learning.
it shows up in my gold pan from time to time in the okanagan
Great video ...I was near Waswanipi,Qc last summer working for Enforcer Gold Corp. when this video came out ...didn't get home until late October :) Take care Phil...going crystal hunting w/John M & John B. on Thursday(April 5th) :)
Wonderful first time to see exploring peridot awesome the crystal of peridot. 👌
Beautiful spot for rockhounding - enjoyed the video - thanks.
Caver461, Thanks! I like your field videos too. They get me through winter. I spent a bit of time in Bancroft years ago but only managed to scratch the surface.
Nice finds. i just subscribed. Im looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks for sharing,
Thank you. Hoping to get more videos out soon.
Awesome vid!
Thanks!
I'm obsessed with olivine and diopside!! My house is full of mantle xenoliths, i simply adore them!! Rough crystals are nice, too.
Awesome channel 👍
Great video! I already subscribe! I also hunt gems in Java, Indonesia, mostly chalcedon and quartz here!
awesome vid!
Thank you.
Thanks for taking me along on your adventure and introducing me to peridot. I will have to educate myself on peridot and basalt. I used to have a placer claim in Atlin that had similar rock. However, I was so focused on gold that I never looked for crystals. I might be going back this summer for a short trip. Now subscribed to your channel.
Thanks! As far as I know, the northernmost peridot occurrence in BC is near Prince George. Even in the producing areas, most basalts are barren. Takes hard work and good luck. I'll post a follow-up video with the polished gemstones eventually. I got very lucky!!!
Good to know. Also, I don't remember any in the sluice. Thanks.
Keep an eye out for gemmy garnet in the sluice. I've been impressed by some BC placer garnets. I had some tiny ones cut, bright pink to 0.05 carats. Good stones in the 1-2 ct range are known.
Many years ago, I had a couple of claims in the Cariboo and there was sometimes garnet and lots of pyrite. None in Atlin where I was.
I will answer from what I have learned. Books, videos and courses are good. Best bet, however, is join a local rock and mineral club. You will be able to sign up for field trips and the people you meet with be exceptionally helpful. I am sure GoG&M will also answer.
amazing video
I've watched a few of your videos and I find them quite interesting and informative, so much so that by the time you read this comment I will have become a subscriber to your channel, looking forward to seeing more content from you .
Thank you! Just in time for my subscriber give-away :-) 2 more field videos coming out soon.
Thanks for showing your video, finding gems it was very interesting, You showed us your traveling. I mean not always you have luck to find these gems
The clod is everywhere I guess
Great video! I want to go rock hounding now :)
Thank you very much!
the way you speak is so interesting!
You can also find it on homeworld.
when you say "explore for new mineral locations" how do you learn of these spots? Or how do you find spots worth checking out?
If you don’t mind what area did you come across this find I’m from Saskatchewan and would luv to see these types of columns you talk about
If it's basalt columns you are looking for, there are some easily accessible and beautiful ones at Brandywine Falls near Whistler.
I just put the 188th like for you!
Peridot from Steven universe: HOW DID YOU FIND ME. CLOD!!

Great video! Would you care to sell or trade for some of your facet-grade peridot?
Are these the lavas of the Chilcotin Group?
How much did it cost you to have the stone faceted?
I'm in BC area, would love to do this someday. But I'm no expert.
Being BC born,they say you can find peridot on lightning peak SE of Lumby BC
Is this in the Okanagan?
nice trip you had but what is the sense looking if all the claims are taken?
Nicely done video. I'm on the verge of starting gem hunting. Unfortunately there is no mountains here. But I can reach granite mine without overexpenses. Is it possible to find at least something there? But, I will do it anyway!)
Where are you located?
Geology of Gems & Minerals Ukraine.) What makes me hope for something is that sometimes I find small pockets of quartz and amethyst just on nearby gravel roads. ) Also, if I'm not mistaken, one of the world biggest peridots specimens were found in Zhytomir region.Those mines are only about 4 hours far from me. Sorry for flood.
Hi CJ, TH-cam hadn't notified me of your reply. Check out my new video on basic gear for rockhounding, it might give you some ideas. As far as where to go, that is up to you. You are already finding amethyst/quartz - look around the gravel roads on rock exposures. Can you find the same rock type nearby? You should also definitely look for those peridot. The largest in the world come from Myanmar, Egypt and Pakistan.
So...were the sites in the video all under claim?
Wait!, Did I miss it?. Where's the map with the X on it?. I need a map so We can go. Enjoyed the video, Nice Peridot
Thanks! This site petered out, but I will return in a few years in case of another rock slide. The big tipping column has to go down at some point.
would you happen to still have the GPS coordinates for this outcrop. and there is a dunite locality near me in NC i would be happy to send you details
I have them, but won't release any coords until I have fully explored the site.
That's fine. If you ever make it sown to NC I'll show you a really cool sapphire locality and garnet locality
Awesome. I'll send you a PM if I ever plan to be there. I love sapphire especially! Thanks!
That first target looks like it was excavated. The way its shaped and spread out. Is that the case, or was it due to rock slide?
Rock slides 👍⛏
fellow
Canadian
Where those claims? I would love to join one day of its possible! 😀
where is the location
where is this?
how do you clean them to be so shiny and be raw? rock polisher? not to sure
The ones at the end of the video?
Yes I believe the green ones at the end:)
They aren't polished - they came out as is by breaking apart the rock. You can see photos of cut and polished ones on the facebook page. facebook.com/GeoGemsMinerals/
I had a few jewelry pieces made as well, but I don't think I put any photos up.
Where in BC is this? You broke down in Chilliwack?
Theres an area I live between chilliwack and pemberton I think j they are down that forest service road I lived on before moving to mount Currie.
where were you when you found the big chunks of Peridot?
I bet around Kamloops or Vernon. Heading there tomorrow :)
Yes! How much peridot will you give me for a small metiorites ?
I like the inclusions and weird forms.
@5:40 MOSQUITO!!
One question for you: Did you have bear spray on your person
What there is Pele tears up in can.
*CLOD*
What area of BC were you in?
Southcentral BC
Geology of Gems & Minerals that makes sense. I've been studying the geology of B.C. to Try to get a better idea of what I'm looking for when I go out hunting for B.C. gems and semi-precious stones
AWESOME GEO GEM SITE PERIDOTS GREEN RULES !?
Where exactly is this in bc ? I live in BC , surrey and would love to take my kids here 😊🤩thx so much for the videos
I like how you're pronouncing it perido instead of peridot
It's the oldest and most correct pronunciation. The word comes from French, where the "t" is silent.
I AM THE LAW !
daily dose of internet
do u need music
EXSUSE ME WHAT IS periDO?! It’s periDOT
He is staying it correctly as the t is silent.
Both are correct....quiet. T. Is the older way
You clods 😏
Kaye Aubrey lol
You to clod
CHANGE THE LAW! THE LAND IS FOR THE PEOPLE, WHY SHOULD ONE PAY TO TAKE A ROCK FROM THE LAND?...THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T OWN THE LAND, GOD DOES...CHANGE THE LAW!...LIBERTY!...;)
Had me until you mention "god"
IF YOU ARE GOING FOR A WALK & YOU ARE LOOKING AT ROCKS, THAT'S NOT FREEDOM WHEN YOU HAVE TO WORRY THAT YOU ARE PICKING UP A ROCK THAT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THEY OWN!...DISGUSTING...;)
If it is on government land and no one has a claim on that piece of land you are free to take the rocks that you find - if there is a claim filed for the minerals on the government land you are on then the rock you find may be owned by the claim holder not the government - at least in BC
