#26 Rock Candy Mine... the most colorful mine around!

Rock Candy Mine located North of Grand Forks BC was a fluorite mine that supplied flux to the Trail smelter before it closed in the 1940s. Fluorite is really colorful under a black light. We were able to document this mine before it was blasted shut by the owner. They once offered tours
to the public but no longer do.
This is a fast paced and exciting Mine Exploration Channel. We have been in hundreds of abandoned mines in Canada, United States and Mexico. Recently we have purchased our own abandoned mine the Yankee Boy Mine! We are rehabilitating the mine so the public can explore an abandoned mine for themselves safely. Join us underground and we will show you things no human has seen for decades! A fast paced, exciting channel that will not bore you. Visit our website exploringabandonedmines.com for directions to our mine, exciting pictures and merch.
For more information on the history of the Yankee Boy Mine go to minfile.gov.bc.ca/summary.asp...

Mines are being filled in, demolished, and/or collapsing at an alarming rate, so it is crucial to document them and save these artifacts while it is still possible.
This is all about mining and mining exploration. We have produced over 350 videos for you to enjoy. Join us for our adventures as we go deep underground into historic abandoned hard rock Gold, Silver and Copper mines. We relive the Prospecting, Gold Rush days, going back in history with every expedition. Visiting abandoned and forgotten places, climbing down mine shafts into dangerous mines, finding treasures, seeing antique heavy equipment such as ore carts, crushers, milling machines, ball mills, explosives and other mining equipment.
We have a new website site exploringabandonedmines.com once there you can see how the mine is doing, support the channel and buy merch, we have stickers, hats, hoodies, t shirts and mugs. New items being added.

This mine might have been for smelting but fluorite is used to make hydrofluoric acid and then everything that contains fluorine. All kinds of good stuff. Like air conditioning.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

It is an industrial mineral.
