Mine Cristal, mining quartz crystals

  • Stay informed about our new videos: subscribe to our TH-cam channel "Mine Cristal". This mine is located in Bonsecours, Quebec, Canada. Photos and video clips shown here date from 1989 - 2012. The open-pit mine produces splendid quartz crystals with exceptional clarity. The largest single crystals measure 60 cm (24 inches) in length. Since mining began in 1989, 32 types, or morphologies of quartz crystals have been catalogued. Geological research into the origins of these crystals has revealed that they formed at this location some 300 million years ago under extreme conditions of heat and pressure. We harvest crystals in the mine only as needed, to supply our store with a sufficient quantity of quartz crystals.
    Exceptionally (for a mine), we harvest all the crystals by hand and without the use of dynamite. It is a privilege for us to participate in the discovery and extraction of these true gems of nature. The extraction process is done in a manner which respects both the environment and the crystals: we endeavor to keep the crystals whole and in a pristine state. In the museum and the store, our crystals are presented in an untouched, natural state. Amazingly, each crystal is an intricate work of art made by Nature; no two are alike and this makes them even more fascinating! Mine Cristal is considered by experts to be a “geological gem,” one of Canada’s great natural sites, due to it’s unique and abundant mineralogical deposits.

    My friend has a quartz mine here in New York. Fun hobby, and good money, but it is also hard work and determination.

      Mine Cristal would you consider this a dangerous job. I'm going to be selling crystals soon but I've always wondered how they get from the ground up and if people who mine crystals actually like it

    This looks beyond amazing, how would I even get started working like this? I've always had a passion for crystals and now that I'm actually old enough to do things myself I feel like I don't have any reasons not to get started, I just have no idea where to start!

    I had a dream that i stumbled upon a crystal quarry. What I noticed immediately in my dream is that I was able to think very clearly and focus mentally. Do you find that when surrounded by crystals that you are able to think more clearly?

    • @MineCristal
      @MineCristal  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Absolutely! Like a light bulb which allow us to see better in a dark room, crystals are there to clarify our mind and amplify positive intentions.

    is quartz crystals have a high value?

    • @MineCristal
      @MineCristal  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It totally depends on the crystal. Clarity, shape, condition, size. All these variables determine the value.

    1. is there crystals in nsw Australia
    2.how much a kilogram?

    • @MineCristal
      @MineCristal  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +perry mackay Good question, you should do a Google search and find out. Regarding the prices for quartz crystals, you had better go into shops in your area, as the shipping would be costly from Canada. Otherwise, if you really want crystals from our mine, message me through our website and we'll discuss it.
