    Thanks for hanging out with us today! Y’all go and check this site out and dig up some selenite crystals for yourself! Just remember to please fill in your holes and leave no trash! It would be great for this location to remain open for the generations!

      Yes we were in a rush to get out of town but would like to do a get together or a meet up for everyone to go out one day and fill-in a bunch of the holes there are already there.

I have quartz crystals under my mattress and I keep some in my water pitcher, too. (I am certified crystal healer.) I dream about finding huge, beautifull crystals. -So, I am your girl, Bryan!

Terry said as I dislike mud that's not the place for me lol but the crystals look so lovely when they are clean I think I wouldn't have worried when I was younger plus the gloves would keep my hands relatively clean lol. I totally agree that people should refill their holes, it's a beautiful place and the holes dont take long to fill, unless of course they are either not thinking or just plain lazy. I was surprised how thick some of the crystals are and the pieces that are joined, my favourite was the one that looks like a plane, I would keep that one Bryan and add it to your collection. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love and hugs to you Matrix and Dylan Mary-Ellen UK

      Yeah this is a really fun spot, but you have to find that really thick mud, that’s what the crystals grow in. I agree, if people don’t continue to fill in the holes, they might shut this location down for good, let’s hope not! Always great to hear from you!

    I've got a couple questions for you old great one. No spot burning involved or request for GPS coordinates or anything like that just generic questions. I have to go to Alabama for 10 days. There was one thing you had to hunt down in bama what would it be. Not where just what.
    The second question is this. If you could pick one maybe two states to go hunting in what states would they be and what would you be looking for. I'm pretty sure in October that I will be going to the Green River formation to see if I could find a few decent fish fossils. Which quarry open to the public would you go to. I don't think that's a spot burn? It's just helping a guy out. I've been to Herkimer a handful of times and I've looked for shark teeth from the Peace River up through North Carolina but I want something new to mess around with. Keep pumping out the videos.

I always do that, plus pick up garbage that inconsiderate people leave behind. I will be driving 150 miles down from southern Idaho to the Jetty. Any directions and tips on how to pick good dig spots are genuinely appreciated. Thank you from Grandpa Pirate.

    The selenite crystals are super awesome, they remind me of fish scales, b ut I am wondering about the clay. Can it be harvested? I'd love to get some. Might make it hard to fill holes though...darn it. Oh well. Thanks for the adventure!

    Awesome, I didn't know we could actually fish in the GSL. 👌

    Very interesting... I've been using satellite images to find other areas this might occur naturally. Dry watering holes seem like they would make gypsum too.

      So, there is a table of evaporate minerals and the amount of seawater it takes before minerals precipitate out. Table salt fairly easily precipitates with very little water evaporated. Gypsum takes significantly more and limestone takes the most. Look for an evaporation table online

    Beautiful. I live in Utah, and I’ve never seen those before.

    Beautiful. Your Great Salt Lake reminds me of our Dead Sea. Thanks for these videos. ❤️🙏

      Unsurprising since the Dead Sea is one of the few bodies of water that is saltier than our Great Salt Lake. I would love to see the Dead Sea and collect around it some day. Glad you enjoyed the video, I had a good time showing them the ropes.

      Oh well I bet there is some resemblance, y’all might have some of these crystals to where it is very shallow and dried up

    Man I need to get out there and start cooking for crystals again... do you know of any good places in Massachusetts or Connecticut? Or nearby there

      I’ve never been to either state but in about three weeks I will be coming through both! Will be looking for locations to dig!

    Are the selenite crystals hard? How cool the way they are made.

    Man, I was there in the spiral jetty a few years ago plugging an abandoned oil well that was spewing tar everywhere. I wish I would have known this was right there!
