Amazonite is one of my favorites to collect lol can yall find crystals like here in colorado? Or is it normally like in the video?
Hi,,,,,Some of the amazonite has gold lines reflecting within it. Just like sunstone feldspar, at the correct angle in the sunlight..We were looking for you after checking for zircon at the end of the day.We had that titanite pile for you but you and Jeff were gone.Tom was going to ask for a trade ,,,looking for blue apatite…The roadcut Tom mentioned to you is scapolite , some crystals make pigeon feather refection with a star,, cateye effect… light pink sort of .
It was Really nice meeting you and jeff.
I have been to this location. It was fantastic. Found peristerite, aqua marine, amazonite … this video brought me back there 2 thumbs up ! Going to pull out the bins !
Nice amazonite. I wonder why this place is not commercially mined. Would be worth it with so much good quality amazonite…
cover the lens so it is black, then show the crystal. cam should then autofocus correctly, you need to fill the screen for longer than 1 second with your hand or anything. then the camera will adjust to the crystal being that close. should be good for what your doing. let me know if that helps with the close focus, if not get a diopter, like a screw on magnifying glass basically. love the vids, i see your frustration with close focus. you got great talks and crystal showings, got me into it. i am in fredericton. even a bifocal lens taped to the front of your camera would be cool. like a split view, for crystal inspection.
Very cool but it’s hard to listen with the music in the background….
Go see my Facebook and you’ll see a field of amazonite, you can pick them up cause they cover the ground everywhere. The site is the size of a football field and is in a remote part of Québec but you can reach it with a good 4X4 truck. I drove a crystal collector there last month and she was in heaven and will come back…
WOULD LOVE TO GO THERE CAN YOU GIVE ME DIRECTIONS TO THE SITE
i forgot to ask how does one get permission to go to the smart mine
Good rockhound ethics great video
nice to see you met someone from my city, Ottawa.
Yay! I visited a hole before you posted a video on it! I May have actually been the next guy in line because there was a tremendous exposure of the stuff. I must have gotten 50 pounds of marginal to awesome material from the trench. I even got a piece with a magnatite octahedron in it.
nice microcline
I have a question. What kind of gemstones i can find in the river grounds? I like to look for rocks when i visit the rivier with my friends
even if it were worth nothing, id still want some. just the colours are amazing!!
I love amazonite crystal, would be cool to go here! However, wondering if the lead in the crystal is potentially hazardous if exposed to or touched for too long??
It’s my dream to go mining for amazonite!
Beautiful stones. I like how you explain your extraction methodology in this video. Cheers!
This site really offers so much in term of collecting. I found that the amazonite is even harder to get-out than the beryl at the beryl pit nearby. I’ve seen the amazonite within the quartz in crystal shapes the size of a fist but they would require saws to get-out properly intact….if you were lucky;) This site has some incredible large biotite mica for those who are interested.
Thanks Mick!
I think its pronounced quade-ville. Similar to quaaludes. Lol
What a guy!
can I have a few different crystals
To rick gordon, from Montreal you drive to Lac St-Jean in a small village called St-Ludger de Milot. From there there is a large forest road leading to Passes Dangereuses power dam. Yo drive to kilometre 32 and ask anybody in the 50 chalets there (they all have electricity) and they should lead you there at 3 kilometres from the chalets. Even though everybody can go there, beware there is a closed mine right beside that is due to reopen soon. Have a nice harvest…
I went to amazonite mine in northern Quebec, a surface of a football field and gathered so many beautiful specimens, you just bent over and pick it up…very few persons know where it is.. I brought a collector with me and she was amazed , she left with 300 pounds of beautiful amazonite…there is a glass blower boutique in Ville de la Baie and the guy there makes beautiful jewelry out of these stones he picked up at the same place…though it is not easy to get there, my brother in law has a summer camp only 3 km from this hidden spot…I hope I can get as many rocks as I can before the place gets too crowded…from Deux Montagnes where I live you have to drive 500km to Lac St-Jean and then go to St-Ludger de Milot and…thanks for reading me, my e-mail living47stone@gmail.com
Rock Collecting, has got me out hiking, traveling, after a decade long illness and brings me a lot of joy. I can’t stress enough how lovely the Smart Mine is…..Endless fun!
Great Amazonite find ! Great tip on extraction as well !
