Cool find! I am a huge crystal addict and I find it funny that all these people are accusing you of saying that they are diamonds! They are not diamonds but he clearly wrote it with quotes. They are called herkimer diamonds but that's just the name. This guy is just using correct terms.
I remember when i was 7 years old i accidentally drop a big rock and almost landed on my toe but luckily it didnt. It split open and the only thing i remember inside was like a shiny blue stone. But i had no idea it was i diamond. Now i just wish i could go through a time machine and keep it so we wouldnt be so broke
How do you know which rocks to bust open, is there something that tells you that there may be crystals inside, or are you just randomly busting rocks until you get lucky? Because I would like to start searching but I have no idea what to look for...any help would be appreciated
I look for vugs (open pockets) or signs of crystals in the rock first. Then I honestly try to find cracked sections so they are easier to break apart. We just visited the mine again last week, and I'll have a video with more rock breaking in the next week or so
@@OakKnobFarm no haven't picked a particular place yet, but I'm looking for one, I live in Oklahoma and there's not much here as far as rock hounding here, we've got some selenite and some drusy quartz, but I want to get something much prettier like some Herkimer's or Smokey's, Arkansas has some good places for smoky quartz that I'm thinking about traveling to, it's the closest place that actually has some decent crystals near me, I wish I lived near NY I'd be digging for herkimer's all the time LoL, they're just amazingly gorgeous crystals
I have been there a few times, always find a couple but it can be some work. You can bring your own tools or rent some. There is two sides of the mine open to the public. It's kinda more like a quarry . If you travel there from a distance and never been, don't forget to check out Howe's Caverns.
These crystals are Quartz as it has hexagonal crystal system, and it is formed with the cavity filling mechanism, raw diamonds would not be so shiny and it has cubic crystal system, mainly it would be found with irregular shape and it will look like ice, and Diamonds would be found in only the Kimberlite (the host rock) or near it, which you have to search near volcano or the dark igneous rocks, down river and among the weathered materials, if you are looking for diamonds you have to head to a place which has history as diamonds been found there... however the purple quartz (Amethyst) is a nice stone valuable and some people believe it has healing properties to adjust the body electrical pulses and prevent the Epileptic seizures.
Hello, I have a number of stones that I think are valuable and I wanted to know about their market. They said that some of them are Martian meteorites. One of them said that there is a high probability that it is an emerald. I am from Iran, thank you
when I was a child before and go for gold mine. I was amazed to collect those quarts in diamond shape. because I thought its diamond and my aunt laugh at me.
Interesting! We also have quartz locally that doesn't look this nice (I live 400 miles from the mine), and people still collect it, and it's for sale at gem and mineral shops
You never know for certain. This mine has good sized pockets about every meter or meter and a half. So I try to move as much stone as possible to raise my chances in finding one.
Sir i have also this type of stone but small like a rino upper head can you help me i have a stone is this dimond or like simple stone i was so confuse
It's actually really hard to tell where a pocket is located, unless you're following a vein of some sort. Here I'm more looking for easy places to remove large amounts of stone quickly/easily to maximize my chance of finding one. So I'll typically work the existing cracks if possible.
@@OakKnobFarm I wish I can find this where I live we have crazy looking rock but none like this it’s beautiful 🤩 any suggestions? I’m in the high desert
We don't sell too many, I mostly add them to my own personal collection, or give them to friends. We do sell some on Etsy, but we don't pursue sales very much.
It can be quite difficult to ID minerals by a photograph, and I am not very skilled at ID. This article explains the processes, and why it's actually quite difficult, especially just by color: www.gemsociety.org/article/how-gems-are-identified/
I did actually see a video showing that. It was incredibly difficult and the resulting sword was very fragile. The guy had a hard time keeping the obsidian flowing if I remember correctly
2 weeks ago i got a very large diamond in my farm at the mountain sides, at the foot of Cameroon mountain in cross River State Nigeria. I don't know how to measure carats. How can I sell it guys.. I am watching videos to see clues... So so happy.
Can you help me with my rock find please? It's on you tube under "rock with diamonds?" I would really appreciate any help or direction for help. Thank you
First question is where do you live? Are you in the USA? There is a website called www.Mindat.org where you can enter the location you found the stone and it will tell you what minerals are in that area. Look for clear minerals like quartz, diamond, calcite in the list.
Lovely! It is niceto see gems being mined without exploitation, and they are right here in our own backyard, so to speak. Prithee, why are they being farmed out to China for cutting and polishing? Is it because of cheap labour? Just curious. At any rate, I have purchased a complete set of Herkimer and it is the perfect jewellery to wear when I don't have to orry about being robbed. I love it! Keep up the good works Sir.
Thanks for the lovely comment. We definitely have some lovely crystals to find here in the USA I do believe the cutting / faceting is done overseas mostly because of labor costs.
You're correct. "Herkimer Diamond" is a nickname for the crystals from this area of New York. They're unusually clear, and many have double terminations
What is a "Herkimer Diamond"?

Beautiful quartz.
you are so lucky
I had one similar kept by my late father whether is diamond or not or just a white stone or marble I have no idea... Its a piece stuck with rock
A "Herkimer Diamond" is actually quartz from a specific location. I would guess that if yours looks similar it is likely also quartz.
its present in in large Number in my area but we dont have tools to identify
Thanks
It's as same as easy with gold aswell as with diamonds! You just walk by and pick them up...live of the land @t in this world
