What a great video! It was amazing to get out with you Dan and experience your enthusiasm and teachings in person. We absolutely enjoyed the natural beauty of the day, the great Dallasite collecting, but mainly your company. You are the reason we went onto youtube and we can't thank you enough for being our inspiration! Jack and Christa.
I'm from Victoria where Dallasite is from and after hounding for 15+ years I have never found a single specimen on the degree that are featured in this video. I find alot of tumble-able size dallasite on dallas road and some nicer sized ones from parksville but I've never found one that looks this amazing. Could I please get out with you? I don't do it for profit I just love dallasite and collecting it.
I have been a rock hound in my youth. Never had time as I got older. The gems you keep finding and sharing makes me wish I could go searching. I grew up in the Caribou and now I realize that many stones I found in the 50s were gems. My dad made jewelry from many I found. Thank you for sharing your finds and knowledge. The dallasite is beautiful. ❤
I love the breccia explanation and the expert with a Master's Degree for the GLOTD! Great question! What a stumper!!! Hope you found a lot to support your channel! We love you Dan! #HurdHerd
I loved the video Dan Hurd. It was amazing learning about dallasite and it being igneous, heck might be metamorphic. An excellent video with you, Jack and crystal.
What beautiful scenery, I have always loved brooks and streams ever since I was a kid. And I have to say I am a little bit jealous right now. But watching all of you have so much fun it's like being there with you. So thank you for the wonderful video. And God bless!
Great Video my friend, just can't get enough education and from You Dan I learn something new everytime You post a Video!!!! You Rock Dan (Pun Intended)!!!! Be Safe Dan!!!!!
Don't forget Gordonite, it's spectacular. What could be better than rock hounding in a crystal clear river on a hot sunny day? The water is so clean even when you disturb the bottom, it still runs clear!! Gotta love Vancouver Island.
Where do I go to purchase a small piece. Hey Dan, I’m only interested in all stones that can be light or small enough for making jewelry. Some of the very small chards that don’t interest you could be put in a bundle and sold for making jewelry. I’ve mentioned this before but received no comment from you. Know ur a busy man! So just give it some thought, ask your fans , see if it’s profitable? Thanks for the videos!
Another beautiful stone from Canada Dan. I would love to see you do a series showing how you make jewelry from these beautiful rocks and gems you find.
Mother Nature is absolutely beautiful 😮 Mother Nature gives us the beauty of the world😂 and you go out and find it absolutely beautiful😮 I hope that you can share this with others😮 note to make money on it but you just give it to some people😮 so that you can share the beauty of Mother Nature❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m a geologist from Missouri living in Florida. I like the weather but I miss rocks so much, lol. I figured someone here would empathize lol. Going to the ozarks next week. I’m looking for agates and quartz crystals.
I've never heard of dallasite that's a really pretty Rock. I don't comment often, but I wanted to let you know that I appreciate you taking us along this was an enjoyable episode.

Awesome upload as always, Dan, everytime you mention "Jaspar",,,, my Best friend, support/assist dog,( Retired.) jumps up, alerted, because ~Jaspar thinks you have shouted for him ,Lol!! You are so lucky to live in such an abundantly beautiful Country!! And Im always learning something new everytime you upload a video!! Thank You!!
I have an amazing small piece of dallasite from my Grandmother's collection from about 1970. I don't know where she got it as she was from Alberta and didn't travel much except to the interior of British Columbia. Which leaves me thinking that there could possibly be another source somewhere? I sure enjoy your videos, the scenery is awesome and the gems are cool! Without your videos I wouldn't have known what it was. Thank you!
Dan the thing I enjoy most about watching your videos is how excited you get doing what you love to do. You are most definitely a rock hound. This was a very good video. Thank you DAN.
"I've gotten great rocks" is actually perfectly correct Dan, just so you know. It's much more commonly heard in the UK than in North America, where you are more likely to hear "I've got great rocks", which when used for the past tense is technically incorrect. Just wanted to point that out. :P I've never heard of Dallasite before - the more I watch your videos, the more I learn about just how many beautiful minerals there are on earth. It is truly stunning stuff. Also that water looks good enough to drink - I wish I had creeks like that close to where I live. You are so lucky out there in BC.
I came across your channel because of Gold, but now you have got me hooked on geology grrr As if I don't have enough to learn... but I'm only 65 so I got time- as Homer would say.. DOH! Just don't get me started on refining... Oh crp Jason jus posted another Vid fro MT. BAKER MINING AND METALS
Into some great specimens Dan! No salting Dallisite Dan, it's a sure giveaway! Lol! 😂 Pretty material, not quite picturestone, more paisley 😵💫looking, surely marketable 🤑, but it's also not AU 😢..keep 'em rolling 💎🤠
Dan, you need a backpack with a frame and some buckles so you can redistribute the weight off of your back and put it on your hips. That way you can carry more. 😉👍
I went to the island a couple months ago, and I'm pretty sure I found some dallasite. It wasn't a particularly spectacular specimen, but it was fun looking for it!
Hey Dan! You should think about bringing the drill and feathering wedges to cob down some of those bigger stones to a more manageable size. Also there would be less basalt to carry! Keep at it bro good stuff!!!
What a great video! It was amazing to get out with you Dan and experience your enthusiasm and teachings in person.

We need more Jack collaborations!
Beautiful rock! Thank you Jack and Christa! ♥
I'm always amazed how rocks are formed the beauty is so unbelievable

Dallasite looks like a Van Gogh painting 🤩

This vid is another reason why I click like before I watch as I am always guaranteed the content I want.
Dallasite is a variety of Jasper composed of colorless Quartzite, Green Epidote, Pumpellyite, and altered Basalt minerals.
It is also found in northern Washington State

@@kunit26 Thank you
Awesome video and beautiful rocks. God bless, take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️

Don't forget Gordonite, it's spectacular. What could be better than rock hounding in a crystal clear river on a hot sunny day? The water is so clean even when you disturb the bottom, it still runs clear!! Gotta love Vancouver Island.
There is a reason that the powers that be keep it so expensive to live here. ... sigh ...

Dallasite is such a beautiful rock. Thanks for sharing.
Dallacite is a very beautiful stone indeed!
Good video......I always learn something new from your field trips.
Always look forward to your content dan.... keep it up!!😊
fun trip.
looking for cool rocks in a tranquil environment with knowledgeable people.
you lucky man.

Sounds of a river ..gotta love it.
Dan, I never fail to learn something from your video’s. Thank you.
thank you for sharing the adventure and information
Tectonic breccia means money in the backpack and literally tons of fun!
Very cool Dan! Thanks for the info 👍
You should get polarizing glasses. They should remove some of the gloss from water surface.
Waist waders with big cargo pockets would be ideal
If I went there I'd spend all my time fishing that beautiful stream.
Thank you for your great content Dan
You are welcome

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: That stuff is gorgeous!

Oh crp Jason jus posted another Vid fro MT. BAKER MINING AND METALS
Lol I guess I'm off to Jason's channel next!
Hope your staying safe. Love your content
Into some great specimens Dan! No salting Dallisite Dan, it's a sure giveaway! Lol! 😂 Pretty material, not quite picturestone, more paisley 😵💫looking, surely marketable 🤑, but it's also not AU 😢..keep 'em rolling 💎🤠
Great Find, Congrats 🎉🎉🎉
Best intro ever!
Yay the WhittleStones!!
New theme music is awesome!!!!!
Awesome adventure, Dan.
Dan, you need a backpack with a frame and some buckles so you can redistribute the weight off of your back and put it on your hips. That way you can carry more. 😉👍
12:23 i saw a bearded guy with a cap on the rock. Looks awesome!
Canada is unmatched for beautiful rivers and streams in thick forests .
I went to the island a couple months ago, and I'm pretty sure I found some dallasite. It wasn't a particularly spectacular specimen, but it was fun looking for it!
Greetings from the BIG SKY. That's a nice looking rock that dallasite.
Got plenty to work with. Great job
Very beautiful stone and the sphere oh man 😍 thanks for sharing this with us six stars brother

Aqui no Brasil eu também gosto muito de pedras preciosas. 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The rock that you picked up I noticed it would make a lovely animal sculpture. It's head is already shaped.
You are on a roll with posting!!❤❤
Love it Dan
stay blessed Dan
thank you
That opening music made me want to listen to Ozzy!
Hey Dan! You should think about bringing the drill and feathering wedges to cob down some of those bigger stones to a more manageable size. Also there would be less basalt to carry! Keep at it bro good stuff!!!
