I found one of the crystals that's hidden at the " mystery park " at the end of this video. I left the other 2 crystals so that someone else can enjoy a treasure hunt !
The topaz are beautiful and hiding the crystals is a wonderful idea Bryan. I like the puff of dust when the blast goes off, it must be a great experience to be there. The breaking down of the rocks looks like hard work, I was happy you gave the gentleman a huge hammer to break it up, the small one wouldn't do it as well lol. Take care and stay safe please my friend, God bless you and Matrix, love and hugs to you both Mary-Ellen UK
Yes this was such a fun time, everyone was finding lots of stuff and the blast is very exciting! Even for matrix, it doesn’t scare him but he gets really excited when the horn goes off in any blast happens. He was born during the spring time last year and a lot of thunderstorms are happening when he was a baby so I guess he got used to the large burst of sounds young so it doesn’t bother him. So is that package still not arrived? I need to look back at the tracking and see what’s up, I know with Covid and stuff it may have caused delays
@@TheCrystalCollector I told you the last time you asked that yes it did arrive thank you and I sent an email the same day it arrived Bryan. Terry and I had so much fun unwrapping them all and he is as thrilled as I am with them. Thank you again sweetheart, and I can understand why Matrix isn't bothered by the explosions now bless him. Love and hugs to you both Mary-Ellen UK
those topaz crystals are so beautiful. what a glorious day everyone had. looks like great time for sure. thanks for letting us all come along with you!
Thank you for sharing another cool video. Beautiful topaz specimens indeed. Liked your way of giving away some nice looking crystals towards the end, cool and fun you created for your viewers.
@@TheCrystalCollector You should semi-bury the Crystals your hiding as well! That way when people come to find them they have to "dig them up" just like you do in your videos!
greetings, friends of the Americans, here in Brazil, we found crystals in the middle of the road, without the use of TNT, are welcome to pan here ... Hug greetings
The was the best mid-pandemic trip we could have possibly wished for. Brian we had so much fun and this brings back so many awesome memories. I can't wait to make it back to Topaz Mountain!
I am in Texas. Found the site on Google Earth. Barrel of tank points directly at the second hiding spot. I met you years ago at Diamond Hill. Still watching your videos. Thanks!
Good morning from Greece, congratulations on the beautiful video!! Very beautiful topaz crystals!! Keep up the good work, my friend!! This is a very nice move with the quartz and well done!!
I grew up in a he small town of Ionia about 2 hrs away. I ran track in your home town. I very do much enjoy watching your videos. They give me great destinations to head out to.
I was wrong, I wished you a happy Turkey day, and there you were finding beautiful topaz crystals and sharing footage with us instead! That was awesome!! P.S.,the chipmunk boxing was hilarious 🤣
THE CHIPMUNKS XD such exciting one to watch such pretty finds!! remind me of little mini wizard or fairy septors or wands. New crystal treasure hunt=wild
I love the videos. I think what you do is great! I absolutely loved the idea of hiding the crystals in more common areas to give ppl a chance to see real gems! Amazing
You're so good at these videos, I appreciate your sly humor and how genuine you are- and matrix is my favorite, furry-crystalpup- I once heard a theory that rocks are alive and that humans and crystals share kinship/lineage...twinkletwinkle
Thank you for your kind words, it really means a lot 💜💎💜 I think for sure there’s a lot about crystals that we don’t yet understand, I can tell you if you stories 🧙🏼♂️
I love that you are hiding crystals, I had a paper route as a child and I would hide money and then I would find it and I loved finding money, Since then I have found money in many places outside. I love this. Cheers B.Champagne
One of my favorite jewelry pieces was a necklace a friend sent crystal glows like a little sun. Thanks for video I live watching them. Here in NC I'm always hunting lol I need bigger house have fun.
Wowsers...hello Courtney!!!! Lol. Don't get better than blowing stuff up, rock hounding , & eye candy lol!!!!! Great finds & so cool of u to do that for fans!!! P.s. I recognized your home town right away lol!!!! Can't wait till u get closer to me!!!
Are your public digs the best way to learn? I would love to try this. Looks like so much fun. I just found your channel and want to get in on the hunting but not sure how. Barnes and Nobel isn’t helpful either. So I’m going to keep watching and learning and try it out. Thanks for sharing.
I just have to say this- I watch these and enjoy this your channel (going to be a supporter soon) mostly for my Sons. Too young to do this just yet. I'm a geologist by training myself, mostly into fossils- HOWEVER; I have to.. HAVE TO get in one of these sometime because OMG the Junipers and pines! Yes, I"m a bonsai artist, and I am seeing spectacular plants int he background of this entire video! I would kill or die to get out there, and while you guys are popping crystals (sure, i'll help!) , I'd be removing a juniper to take home!
I know your hometown! My parents previously resided not too far away in your home state! And my aunt and cousins live just slightly further south! Oh....and by the way....I have been to and dug at Topaz Mountain myself years ago. However, my dig was not as successful as the one y'all had in this video! (Wiley Coyote stole my TNT box while I camped in the desert! Lol) I'm "green jeal-o"! Awesome finds!
I just found your channel, and what a fun video!!! I can imagine finding one of those Arkansas Quartz will feel like finding real treasure!!! Heck, as an avid crystal collector myself, It would be amazing to find a beautiful crystal hidden somewhere! This is so cool of you. I may have to start hiding some crystals around my local area- it’s a fun and very cool way to guarantee a great day for someone. I love that you do this!
They blast out fresh material all the time, and the cool part is every boulder you see in that video has a high chance of containing crystals inside. You split the rocks and find the crystals in the vugs that are inside, so there will always be topaz to be found.
Dangummit!!!! I’m from Anderson SC and know exactly where this is!!! I am actually about to move back for the winter soon so hopefully at least one will still be there 🙏🏼😁🤞🏼🤩
@@TheCrystalCollector ha, no, on crystal coast in NC RVing on Camp Lejuene base, I found where the park is and your town. Mamma didn't want to break down the RV and haul butt! Retired Intel can find you! Ha
The topaz in that mountain range is inside of rhyolite that is between 1 million and 6 million years old (the one in this video are from the 1 million year old material). The rhyolite is volcanic and forms when magma makes it to the surface and cools very quickly. It leaves a very grainy rock with microscopic crystals of many different minerals because the minerals don't have time to organize themselves into bigger chunks like slower-cooling rocks would. And due to that rapid cooling air bubbles also form in the rock and are "frozen" there. After the rock has solidified, hot silica-rich steam bubbles up through the cracks and deposits other minerals inside the small bubble-shaped pockets, called vugs. The most common mineral in this spot is, of course, topaz. So the crystals slowly grow inside open space in the vugs, which is exactly where you find them when you split the rocks like you see in the video.
It took me a while to even realize that "the matrix" meant host rock. I feel like "host rock" is a lot easier to understand what he's talking about. Lol
I'm sure you get asked this a lot and I've likely just missed it and any response, but what do you do to be able to afford these trips and incredible 'holidays' collecting crystals all around the country? It looks like it'd be an amazing life having all these awesome connections in the crystal collecting family!
I have some spots in Riverside county that are visited by very few people. I find schorl, tourmalinated smoky quartz ( some with gemmy green), garnets reddish browns and green grossulars, epidote and petrified wood. The smoky I find has the snow on the roof and crazy colors on the faces of the crystals. It's not the prism or a stain it's a thin layer of color on the crystal. Anyhow keep on hunting dude! Hmu sometime lol
Fantastic Topaz. My youngest son and I would love to come hunting with you sometime, when international travel and the pandemic are over, of course. Shame we can't join the crystal hunt, unless you plant some over the pond in England. :-) Great video, thank you.
For sure, in the future I am going to start planning some big event digs at several locations across the country and have them will set ahead of time for people that want to travel and make it, thanks for the support!
The rock hound community has the best collection of the most honest loving people I’ve ever meet.
I found one of the crystals that's hidden at the " mystery park " at the end of this video. I left the other 2 crystals so that someone else can enjoy a treasure hunt !
Thanks for just taking one! My first reaction to seeing this challenge is that the same person was going to go take all 3 of them.
@@emilieloveskiwi I had my fun ! I also thought to let others have some fun as well.
I always wonder how the Chatham company grow their own RUBY crystal. Please do a visit to Chatham and make a video.
That’s awesome!! 🥰🙏🏼♥️
i guess it is kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to watch new series online?
You're the best Brian! Giving folks a chance to find their own treasure. Very generous of you!💕
Really enjoyed this one. Everyone is finding them!

Im so obsessed with your videos. Stumbled upin 3 days ago and have been binge watching every chance I can
You're awesome ❤️💛💚
We love you and Matrix and the crew gangs too
Thanks so much 🙏
Crystal finders should send him videos of them finding the stones. Then he can post portions on his website. 👍
That’s a perfect crazy good idea I love it! Anyone that ceaseless try to do that, I will try to post that in my future videos, awesome
@@TheCrystalCollector You should semi-bury the Crystals your hiding as well! That way when people come to find them they have to "dig them up" just like you do in your videos!
Hes not a salter, its fun to truely find them.
Ooh topaz is my birthstone. It’d be fun to go find your birthstones during your bday month. I might plan this sometime.
It’s a fun time, you can do a private blast or just dig by hand, check out their Facebook page
Topaz is my birthstone also
Looks like a lot of fun!
Very cool of you and great idea! I’m nowhere near this spot, but stoked for whomever finds these!

For sure💯 travel all over the USA, I post lots of the public digs thru Facebook , haven’t don’t too many this year but will be soon
Would love that I travel and work for KOA. so would be fun to cross paths, and learn a few things

Don't forget to bring some of those for that game to Missouri! :):)
Such a GREAT video, Bryan! Love the idea for the giveaways!!

First! Always wanted to say that haha 😆
Nice!! 💯💯💯🙌 gotta be fast lately 🧙🏼♂️
I’d love to go digging and find topaz or amethyst or diamonds... how fun would that be!!
It would be interesting to know how these crystals and minerals form!
The topaz in that mountain range is inside of rhyolite that is between 1 million and 6 million years old (the one in this video are from the 1 million year old material). The rhyolite is volcanic and forms when magma makes it to the surface and cools very quickly. It leaves a very grainy rock with microscopic crystals of many different minerals because the minerals don't have time to organize themselves into bigger chunks like slower-cooling rocks would. And due to that rapid cooling air bubbles also form in the rock and are "frozen" there.

So the crystals slowly grow inside open space in the vugs, which is exactly where you find them when you split the rocks like you see in the video.
Does your pup Matrix get all confused when you talk about the gem matrix? Great name for your dog but crazy on digs.
I do wonder if he thinks I’m talking about him when I’m sometimes talking about the rocks, 😂
It took me a while to even realize that "the matrix" meant host rock. I feel like "host rock" is a lot easier to understand what he's talking about. Lol
I'm sure you get asked this a lot and I've likely just missed it and any response, but what do you do to be able to afford these trips and incredible 'holidays' collecting crystals all around the country?
