    This is me discovering that blue quartz is rare! I live around here and have been finding them all my life. Took traveling around the state to realize they aren’t common much anywhere else!

      We're tripping over it here! Beautiful stuff, and to my research blue with points is only found in Texas

    Thanks for sharing, guys. Appreciate what you are doing here. Think you could lay out all of your finds at the end of future videos? Would be cool to get a good look at everything collected for the day.

    Excellent work! I hope to see many more to come. 1 suggestion on filming. try using a head mount for your GoPro so we can see what your looking at.

      Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the video. I am looking into some alternate options for mounting the camera. the issue with the head mount is I can't see the viewfinder when I'm trying to show something in my hand, hard to line up a shot. Someday budget will allow for a head or chest-mounted camera, as well as a secondary for the in hand/special shots. We'll get there! Thanks again for the support!

    Did you head upstream from the church or down to the brandywine from the church? Would I need permission from anyone to search this creek ?

    Will I have any luck finding Blue Quartz in the Oxford/Nottingham area?

      Not to my knowledge, the brandywine and Neshaminy creeks are the best known locations

      I've had luck in Neshaminy Creek at Playwicki Park in Langhorne.

      @@allthingsrealestatecrm948 I fully understood your original question.we address this in the video, we aren't listing the exact location anywhere but in our FB group so it doesn't get swarmed and destroyed. Feel free to join our FB group for more info, or fire up google maps to look for the only white church at three point intersection in Lyndel next to the brandywine!

      Mineral Hill is a favorite of ours as well, the nature and rocks make it quite a lovely place to spend the the day!
