Thanks, Andrew! Australia video coming up next :-)
@@GeologyofGemsMinerals Nice, looking forward to it!! Coober opal??
Looking for peridot and quartz crystals. Nothing amazing. Plus another video at an opal shop in Melbourne.
@@GeologyofGemsMinerals Amazing or not, your videos are worthy just on your knowledge. I appreciate them. I know some amateur geology and mineralogy but pretty basic really, it's a hobby for me and I enjoy it.
Thank you very much, that is quite the compliment. I'm glad my videos are making a difference.
Wonderful videos. You are living my dream!
Was it the udig Opal claim in Vernon that you visited?
Very cool. Im actually heading back to the coast in the morning and stoping at barnhartvale rd near monte lake to look for baded agate and grab some low quality peridot from the basalt.
Great! I learned a lot👍
just found your channel and subed. i build logging roads in central BC and get to go to some out of reach places for most people. recently found some old volcanic push up mounds with very interesting amber stones which have green,purple.blue and gold colors in them.not sure what they are yet as im new to this kind of prospecting.will be following your channel to learn as much as i can .thank you.
I am jealous 🤩
Love some tips on how u clean your finds. Acid ect. I collect agate an chalcedony here in oz on ocean reefs an am keen for some tips to make em there best. There sooo dirty an have ocean build up on em. I’ve watched an read other people’s opinions but would be esp keen for your tips.
Can Quartz be sold? If so I would want to sell some
Please any information on how to preserve the precious opal ?
Waaww amazing
Watching from merritt bc, we have gold here
3:40 - You need a bigger hammer!
Can you find opal in Coldstream Creek? because of im a gemstone hunter as well!
I have no idea if it can be found there - you'll have to check it out and see! To my knowledge, all opal in BC is basalt hosted so you could check geological maps.
@@GeologyofGemsMinerals Thanks so much ill take a little looksie!
Awesome video! There is so many spots in that central interior BC with so many different gems its just incredible. Me and my buddy live in Kamloops and we're yet to run out of unique spots to find gems- our only issue being that we can't seem to find precious opal since the majority of sites are claimed and private. Do you happen to know of any or do you still have the contact for the claim owner of the opal spot in this video? Thanks and keep up the great work :)
Where do you recommend going? I would love to start rockhounding more! I’m in BC
@@anjoliedefazio5789 there's good stuff all around kamloops here like in tranquille or around barnhartvale. Out towards westwold and falkland has some good stuff too. Savona mountain is a good place to start as well. Lots of common opal up there!
@@FinduroVR wow thank you so much! Any good way to get info about locations ?
@@anjoliedefazio5789 I personally use Mapplace 2, it’s a government map site that uses mineral data sheets to show off a bunch of cool stuff. I like to look at mineral claims on there to see where and which way the geological trends go. Obviously I avoid claims, but knowing where the good rocks are can help for some great exploring!
