    Fun times with great friends in New York! This is a private location but hopefully it gives y’all some persuasion to go out and look for your own locations! If you find stuff let me know, 😂 I’ll come and film!!!

    Oh boy what beautiful crystals you are all finding there, the rainbows are gorgeous as are the golden ones though the last one you showed us with the steps in it was fantastic Bryan. I lauhed when Matrix had the plastic digging tool in his mouth and when he "spoke" lol, I'm still smiling at the thought of him talking. I'm so happy that you have another video from there, so many different shapes and sizes of the Herkima Diamonds are coming out of the earth. Thank goodness the dirt is loose, it must make it easier to get them out whole especially with the plastic tools. Now its nearly my dinner time so I shall have to go, so cheerio my friend, good luck and happy fossicking God bless you and Matrix love and hugs to you both Mary-Ellen UK

    I'm just getting into the rock hounding game. And I really want to be able to go on a trip with someone like you that knows a thing or two about what they're doing and someone who clearly knows where to look. I'm very interested in looking for Herkimer diamonds.

  • @Nivasi
    @Nivasi 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I find it interesting that on the mohs scale diamond is a *10* & Herkimer's are a *7.5*
    pretty close! and the herk's tend to have more colors than the diamond

    • @Keilsyar
      @Keilsyar 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Fun fact, while the numbers seem close at first glance, the Mohs scale isn't linear. A diamond (10) is roughly 16x harder than quartz (7.5)! It's crazy!
      That being said, anything above a 7 is generally considered suitable for wear so quartz fits in nicely. :)

  • @13Odrade

    Some ppl dont believe me but itsn not for them, it aint even for me, I think its for those who want to see their resting place. Aint no wood used for our homes. Homes can be full of art like a museum. Crystals are so big like Walmart sized rubies and its not dug out its left perfectly in its mountain. And angels carve into them. I seen a mans mansion sky scraper tall tall huge mansion and its walls where of ruby. So beautiful. It gives off vibes that massage your thoughts and its a special feeling I look forward to.
