      AMEN! AS A MATTER OF FACT THE WARS WHICH ARE GOING ON WHICH THE UNITED STATES BLAMES ON OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE IT HAS TO IT CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW DISGUSTING IT IS AND EVEN WHEN IT COMES OUT 20 TO 50 YEARS LATER THE UNITED STATES NEVER APOLOGIZES OR MAKES A MAN'S OR HOLDS ITS OWN ACCOUNTABLE FOR WAR CRIMES WHICH ARE FAR WORSE THAN HITLER OR STALIN COMMITTED. THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT FOR AMERICA SO WE CAN DRIVE A HUNDRED MILES ONE WAY ON A TANK OF CHEAP GAS TO BUY HALF A BAG OF S*** WE DON'T NEED NO MATTER WHOSE KID DIES NO MATTER WHO CATCHES CANCER NO MATTER WHAT PALESTINIANS ARE DRIVEN OUT OF THEIR HOMELAND FURTHER BY THE ISRAELIS SO THE ISRAELIS CAN STEAL THEIR OFFSHORE OIL WHICH WAS DISCOVERED 20 YEARS AGO AS IF STEALING THEIR HOMELAND WASN'T ENOUGH...

      I used to work as a sound technician for a media company a couple of years back, you always gotta pay up or bring something if they gonna sit in front of a camera or follow them around during work hours because they can't afford to lose focus or time. It can get really tricky if the words spreads around, that's why you usually have some "security" with you who can easily communicate or whatever. Remember one guide/security guy we had in India near the border who told us to get the interviewee goats or chickens instead of money because they lasted longer.

    I got the rock bug in 2008-2009, starting going down the Appalacians digging for quartz, then looking for smoky quartz and amethyst, then garnets, then pyrite cubes, then emerald/beryl (which the locals call "burl"), then aquamarine (also "burl"), then corundum (ruby/sapphire which the locals call "saffarr") and you just get SUCKED RIGHT IN.
    Before you know it, you'll be digging up stuff you never even knew to exist before you got into the rockhound hobby. "Oooh, kyanite!" "Wow! Blue fluorite!" "Oooh Elbaite!"
    Now (15 years later) I still love hunting quartz, beryl, corundum, and anything shiney and pretty, but I'm also on a little bit of a "gold" kick now. Looking for prospecting sites now and when the weather breaks, Ill be out in those ancient mountains looking for treasure. For me, crystals arent "healing" or any new-age bullsh... They're just beautiful miracles created by our Earth, and being the FIRST and ONLY person to ever see their immense beauty as you unearth them for the first time, helping them receive their first photons of sunlight in a hundred million years to reveal a geological miracle.... well, that's just a special experience I cant put into words. Spiritual almost...

      @@sethstatler8480 First, read some local rockhound websites (North Carolina and Virgnia have very active geology club scenes... sounds dorky, but they do) so you know WHERE to start looking, then just get out on the weekends, trek into the woods (where its legal to dig) and start looking for cool rocks. In much of central Virgina and western and central North Carolina, you can dig down to the clay layer and start pulling out quartz crystals if you're in a "hot" area. The fancy stuff (aquamarine, sapphire, garnet etc...) is usually in the mountains... but you can find pyrite and calcite and whatnot in highway road cuts. I mean... its just reading online to learn where things are and then going to find them!

      @@sethstatler8480 1. get yourself a rock and mineral guide or encyclopedia, know that there's difference between a mineral, and a rock, ex. Serpentine is a rock, Serpentinite is the mineral Serpentine is almost exclusively composed of, don't concern yourself with memorizing the chemical name of a mineral, can be handy tho when prospecting knowing what elements or chemical make up of region, so here its Silicon Dioxide aka the chemical name for Quartz mineral, or the crystal that composes most of the aka Granite rock, but then there's also crystal names - quartz crystal, and gemstone names - alexandrite, and don't get me started on pseudomorphs - carnelian, Agate, Rose quartz....im digressing
      really main thing know what it is thats grabbing you, is the prospecting thats fun, is it the lure of value? is it simply there beauty and looks?
      For me liking all 3 the ladder the most followed by next former so forth, since its the beauty i like i spend most my time tumbling rock in rock tumblers, currently in process of making home version so can process like 30 pounds at one time but to be able to turn the most dirty looking average rock off the ground an turn it to the most mesmerizing specimen is mind boggling, cuz of that i don't have to prospect much , i still do somewhat but thats for the value lure to find a crystal with as little inclusions as possible, get it faceted (if i could afford the facete machine ws id do it myself, and get some decent dough out of it is quite appealing especially considering its just a hobby, but one that pays you back few 1,000 every so often

    The Sulphur is derived from a natural variation of the Claus Process. The oxidation-reduction production of native Sulphur. The original gas is hydrogen sulphide, which is more deadly than cyanide gas. This is partially burnt to Sulphur dioxide, and this is then reacted with unburnt hydrogen sulphide, they form the auto oxidation production of Sulphur. There are volcanoes where S is produced from volcanoes in Chile, with some of the elevations exceed 17,000 to 18,000 feet. They are now closed, but were operated for almost a hundred years to provide sulphuric acid for the nitrate and copper industries. These guys would knock off and play soccer in the evening at an elevation most people would faint at! The men in Indonesia are still working in between 10,000 and 11,000 feet. You should try climbing the trail next to them!

There are some mountains of pure sulfur formed near any sour oil refinery. Alberta alone produces nearly 1500 tons of high purity sulfur yearly. they can't even give it away so they end up shipping it to huge sulfur dumps.

    So, any system that increased the output would pay for itself quickly, i believe.

    39:12 I don’t believe that a lot of opal people normally find sells for $1k or more a karot or everyone and their mothers would be polishing rocks in Australia, I think it’s a very small sample size of opal that sells for that price. I feel the opal market is exaggerated a little bit with the TV shows and all that, and also because opal has to be made into a certain kind of jewelry, it’s not a traditional stone that would be set in a ring or necklace like a diamond or a sapphire, so that limits the market even more. I’m not saying opal isn’t beautiful and isn’t expensive I just think there is a small portion of opal that’s top notch and that has been exaggerated a little bit over the years for the sake of TV.

    Believing stones have magical power is not a normal thought that most people have nor had. Like snake oil salesman, if there were any consequence to such belief, they would not go out of business. But, they do. ALL OF THEM. Trendy does not equal value. Reminds me of the tulip craze only multiplied by thousands of different novelties.

    A 10 year old child from NA would easily automate the sulphur mines in Indonesia and develop easier ways of transporting it while using gloves. What's wrong with these people? More sulphur means more money which means more PPE etc.

    Did you know you can live forever? Jesus, the Son of God, gave His life for us. He was sacrificed for our sins and was resurrected. Repent, follow Jesus, and live forever! He loves you, and has made a new home for you in Heaven!
    - If you want to learn more about Jesus and how to live forever, check out the Gospel (the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) within the New Testament of the Holy Bible. Each book is an eye witness account of the miracles He performed, His death, resurrection, and His promise to you!
