- So I finally got back out to that Creek where i find moonstone!! At some point in the near future I'd like to try following it up to the source but that'll have to wait for another day. Looking forward to some more exploration trips this summer!! Thanks for watching!!🙂

You found some really nice Moonstones. Glad to see you back. Can't wait to see more of your videos.
Thanks, Cant wait to get out there to make some more!! So excited to do some exploring again!!🙂
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Beautiful! Nice to see you back 🙂
Thank you for posting this, your land is so rich with different kind of stones
Such a beautiful place to be while finding glistening gems! Thank you for this great video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Such a nice spot out there, and so much area to explore!! I'm really hoping to spend some time hiking up this creek to do some better exploring. I've even seen a piece with a little bit of rainbow lattice in this spot!!
The Malanite was cool. Love that you found sun/moon on a couple pieces.
It is pretty cool to see sunstone and moonstone in the same specimens. It's a bit more rare than finding the regular plain orthoclase sunstones, there must be a mix of orthoclase and albite feldspar in order for the moonstone to glow🙂
I enjoy your explanation of what you're finding. Very informative 💖
Thanks!! I try to put as much information as I can in these videos to help people find gemstones in their areas. It doesn't matter where you are there is always something cool to find!!
Wow! Those moonstones and sunstones you found were absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to see what you make out of those beauties! Your Canadian sunstone and moonstones are so much more beautiful than in any other area! I've never seen that quality of stone, come any other country or province! It will be nice to see more videos from you again! I've always enjoyed your videos and then there was just a huge gap! I'm just glad to see you still making them! I learn so much from you! Glad to see you again and I so look forward to more videos from you❣️
Thanks!! Yea i got really busy with work for a while there so i was kind of burnt out and decided to build up the garden in the backyard during that time haha (vid to come?). I'm finished my work on those projects now and its back to digging!! I'm going to be headed out in a day or two on a couple week long rockhounding trip, i have some awesome sites planned out!! These moonstones are some of the best I've seen dug on UA-cam but there are really also really nice moonstones found in Sri Lanka, Burma, Madagascar, and Tanzania!! Thanks again for sticking it out, I know I can be a little off and on when it comes to making videos. I really want to challenge myself to be more consistent in the coming months😁
@@NWRockExplorer challenge yourself and me and all your fans will be just thrilled! And as long as you put a video out every, say, months? We will watch them and be happy! But weekly would be better! Lol! I don't want you to burn yourself out again! We value you too much! Thanks Liam!
that place is, so pretty, and nice specimens
Thanks!!
glad to see you back😊I love ur ventures
Thanks!!😁
Awesome to see you back at it! Hey, question, can Moonstone be found down here in NW Washington State rivers? I go out a lot but normally look for Jade around here, but there is a ton of other cool rocks down here just not sure what to look for. Thanks for posting your trips!!
Thanks!! Well the best advice I can give if you want to find moonstone is to look for places with lots of feldspar. Generally you'll want to look for granite, diorite, gneiss, or pegmatites. This variety of moonstone is made of a mix of orthoclase and albite feldspar which are some of the most abundant minerals on earth. I'd say as long as your seeing both orthoclase (pink) and albite (white) feldspar, your on the right track😉
HI LIAM!❤
Since when did you have a youtube channel? Your video showed up on a search.
You found me, great to hear I'm coming up in searches!! Yea I should really share my channel more on my personal pages but idk haha. I'm still learning lots about making videos, hopefully someday this could become a full time thing🙂
