Caver461s specimen is aquamarine.

[@Caver461]

You are correct

[@brennenevans4349]

the bi colour apatite is gorgeous

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

The combo red and green Apatite Crystals are always the best finds of the day.

[@Ontario_Rockhound]

Awesome finds Jeff!!

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@meteoriter1647]

Nice doubly-terminated calcite crystal, Jeff! Would that have been found at Titanite Hill? There's a really good spot in Quadeville I love, transparent green apatite. My favourite though is Grace Lake for tremolite.

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

Madoc area.

[@cvx2dog549]

Nice crystals!

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

Thanks.

[@mavaexploring]

Nice video! Those little cube formations are adorable!

[@glennhales7302]

Erongo mtns. Aquamarine crystal.

[@Bigfoot903Outdoors]

Aquamarine beryl

[@stonedandhammered]

are there any freely accessible spots around madoc to dig at or do you need permission from a private land owner?

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

Madoc is a tough area, most people are not friendly to collector, all I can say is ask nicely and someone might let you check out their property.

Bonne et heureuse année Jeff...
Magnifique vidéo. Belles trouvailles.

In Spring I am back to rockhouding... I know where to find your fluorite spot in Madoc.
Xoxo from Ottawa.

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

It was an excellent find, thanks.

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

Madoc is a great spot if you know where to look and or spent the time exploring the area.

[@derickwood9195]

Any advice on locations around Madoc?

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

Just check the Mindat site and search for that area, then start knocking on doors.

[@Rocktwister]

Great finds.

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

More to come.

[@terryhayhurst2652]

Thought i would share this jeff, the " Albino Apatite " ....i discovered with a black light, has some fluorescence to it. From that spot. Up the hill a bit however. Just thought i would share my cool discovery

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

I will have to try that out, my UV light is underpowered and outdated!

[@gogozy1]

beautiful and thanks for sharing! looks like Mr Caver have packed some weight ;)

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

Don't tell him that, he's sensitive ; )

[@kaboom4679]

Gorgeous stuff .

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

Agreed

[@Muonium1]

bruh....you can't show us all the huge calcite and fluorite finds AND THEN NOT SHOW US ANY OF THE FLUORESCENCE AND PHOSPHORESCENCE!!

[@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals]

I never even thought to check it for fluorescents, it's right outside and I will check it now. If I ever get a good UV light I will do a video on fluorescents.

[@Muonium1]

@@OffTheBeatenPathCrystals Looks like you already got a pretty nice 365 light? That should work well enough for the calcite phosphorescence. You mean shortwave? Engenious Designs has some nice 255nm LED lights...
