      Our pleasure. One of our main goals is to bring the knowledge of crystals to people. There is so much to know and we are still learning ourselves. Hopefully that learning will never stop.

    I enjoyed the video quite a lot, the CEO has some lovely looking crystals, finding pieces like those much be a great feeling, even some of those small ones. Can’t see that I will get a chance to check out your mine, a little far from my place in South East Queensland. Truly wish you and Chris all the best with the venture.

    Hope to see you out there through the OVMC. What is a 50lb smash bar? Definitely curious as my brother and I enjoy the heavy digging and extraction and this is the first I've heard of this specific tool.

    • @Caver461
      @Caver461  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Well, we were thinking of separating the fissures as to those where we could continue our earth crystal extractions and then have other fissures for people who want to practice more conventional means. 50 pound smash bar in Mark's hands gets you access to anything. Not sure if you live in s. Ontario, but Princess Auto sells them for $60. Yeah they're long heavy crowbars with tips made for pounding.

      @Caver461 thanks Michael. I'm in Ottawa and we have Princess Auto here. Really enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing the adventures and knowledge. Helped me immensely with finding better specimens in general. Found a nearly 2lb double terminated quartz crystal by 6 Mile Lake Provincial Park thanks to your tips on following that vein. 😀

    Back again - it's Mick. Dark Star Crystal Mines is soon to be selling it's vast stock of amphibole, titanite, pyroxene and apatite crystals - remain updated as to what's coming by subscribing at darkstarcrystalmines.com The website is still under construction, but we should be good to go quite soon. All subscribers will be entered in for occasional draws and the possibility of winning free crystal specimens. darkstarcrystalmines.com If you are looking for material from the old Bear Lake Diggings our site will be sellining a great deal of what we'd harvested in the past. When we get to lease, we will be also selling new material. By subscribing and liking you make it easier for us to do what we like doing and in turn, we bring you more of what interests you. Later in the year we are thinking of doing a trip to examine Colorado topaz and also down south of the border if the dollar can handle it to try find some big quartz crystals.
