- Rockhounding and Mining at our Valuable and Newly Discovered Rhodonite Gem Mine on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Episode #3.
This video is about our second chance in 2022 to make it up to the rhodonite mine . Jack was again able to go for a short trip after work.
During this expedition, Jack was able to work a small amount of material in a zone containing tons of rhodonite-bearing colluvium. He found a new type of rock that has interlayered pink rhodonite and yellow spessartine. This is a fantastic-looking stone and we are working on a new gemstone name - Rosy Maple Rhodonite.
We will return to the site shortly with the whole family and will be making new episodes to share with you.
We hope you enjoy this video.
Christa and Jack

Love the subtle comedy moments in your videos
Thanks! Not everyone catches the comedy but in my mind it is fantastic!
Can't believe this was basically in my backyard for the 30 years I lived in Lake Cowichan 😳
Awesome find Jack, congratulations.
Hi Doug Thanks! Yes, it is a great deposit and not far away. I still have not gotten in trouble from Christa for the thumbnail on this one!! Thanks again for your support!
‼️You need to use a mister. The name of the “rosy moss Rhodonite” is beautiful.
Thanks!! There was another sign with a fellow that Christa liked but for some reason all of the Real Estate signs have been taken down. We would tease each other going by the different signs.
‼️FYI. The wipe we can’t see anything till you take it outside‼️
I was trying to show the wipe in the moment but my lighting setup is terrible. It is an exciting moment to clear away the oil and reveal the stone. I will try to improve the conditions before I film more of these.
