This video was interesting to me Mr. Hurd. I worked for some years in the Silicon industry (ELKEM). We got quartz from Spain and we used the Söderberg electrodes ovens. Remember that I found Ametyst in the quartz piles.
no amythest at this site, but iron pyrite, copper, and plenty of iron coated quartz (a possible precursor of amythest) at the bedrock site, just down the road from the site shown
Nice vid always thought that Quartz was next to gold or it would come up in the hot magma with the gold.......I have so much to learn. Sad about the back I feel for you.
Hey good day sir. Dan i hope i can join you in hunting gold or gemstone i love your videos i am inspired with you im from Philippines hope you notice me and congratulations 🤭🤭
I know I'm late to comment, but I found a slot canyon in northern mn, on a tributary to lake superior. In the canyon was a red bed rock which I'm assuming is around the basalt, gabbro, gniess family. And it was vestucular with mineralized quartz pockets just like that falling out into the creek thats cutting into the hill. I've been trying to figure it out for a while. Because I like looking for agates and opal and I've been trying to figure out the host/parent rock for agates so I can find them in situ
Well hello Dan! Love the way you say that at the opening of all your videos! Question, you mentioned indicators. Do you mean vugs? I found a small crystal "less than an inch tall, in the largest bedrock trap I located this year / not a boil hole. It was in very coarse deteriorating quarts. I'm sure your back is much better by now. That kind of pain is no fun next to what we enjoy doing. Thanks Dan!
I think this may be the stuff I found. 🤔 Does it live in vains in rock creek beds in mountains? I like to hike up creeks and camp and found this stuff that's like glass in the rock. Pretty and clear. Some of it has layers of white lines in it, and it tended to break in flat layers when struck. Pieces up to a few inches long. Never taken anything out of the rock before, but I'd never seen something so similar to glass out in nature so I took some. Had to make stone tools to get it out of the bedrock though.
After ten years of back pain crutches walker etc ect I heeded the advice of my father and that was lay down on the floor on your back raise one ankle above the knee then raise that knee and stretch the pirimus on both sides daily after one week your back should feel much better...knnes up raise the hips and stretch the middle...knees side to side twist stretch....I know it sound so simple and easy to dismiss but....it made me pain free...(may require flexeril to get things started but I only needed one dose)
When you walk on the crushed quartz it sounds like a classifier full of clean wet ,plus stones. just sayin. There are some beautiful quartz crystals here in n.h. in the white mountains but its a lot of work to find them in the fluff, what they call rotten rock, decayed granite I believe.Smokey quartz 1.5" in diameter sometimes and a foot long , not an everyday find tho
Actually bro my dad found these type of crstals atleast nearly 3kg and after that my dad gave these crystals to some jewelry making guy for checking purpose but after that guy took the stuff and abscond some where, that fkr cheated on us😤😤😤
hi thanks for your reply ...I like all your vids .I have a mcgilvlery creek on my claim up near foster bar have a mile of fraser river under claim on both sides of the river ....wouldn't mind getting you up there at some time ....check my vids for a looksee of the area ...thanks ...michael
If it’s the place I think it is you are above a place called Pritchard, somewhere. If it is there was a good deal of soapstone, not great quality but a lot of it. Ahhh you came the other way. You didn’t find the face where they were getting the quartz from?
I undrstand that u need 2 doo it fast but kamera spin fast and gives me pain in the eyes ... and i feel like i m gona p..... its not beter take ur time and dooit right cz its a nice video abaut the teren of those quarts.
Dan you seem like a very kind person. I hope all is going well for you and your family. And thank you for teaching all of us something about nature.
I Love how much you have taught me over the past 2 years. Please keep the videos coming. I wish you good health.
It's great when you can find crystals without having to dig to much for them
Yup!

Love your work Dan. Great Videos mate!!
glad to see another video. nice couple of finds. hope your back begins to feel better.
My dad cleaned the silt out of his pond, and I found one about the size of a softball. Really clear, river or creek tumbled so not crystal shaped
again what a great looking place very lucky

Man all the quartz on my farm has nothing but iron in it as far as I know, I would love to see even copper in them!
All the best with the back, you have my sympathy. Look after your back. long time with a bad back is no fun.
Wow! I freak out when i find even the tiniest flat face of a crystal. really nice place to find quartz!
Ikr!!! I find an arrowhead and i have to change my pants lol. You should check out his jade video. Dan has the most beautiful claims.
Come out to the end on to the dirt of Hollywood (on far eastside) in Las Vegas and I believe the ground is selenite, an evaporated state of gypsum.

Maybe Selenite. It has the layers was used as window panes in the past has a hardness of 2 and has a iridescence to it.
Carbide from quarts .i had no idea .we have a few good spots with soma amethyst as well as other cool stuff included in sone of the crystals

the back is just the start good luck with.i t rest drugs and chicken soup and hope your back on the shiny again.soon
Dan, do you have a claim in Granite Creek BC
Not the most interesting Dan Hurd video, but still s fan.
Hi could the green be jade?
hi ...is this the mcgilveray creek up near foster bar? thanks ...mickey miner
Up by Chase.
hi thanks for your reply ...I like all your vids .I have a mcgilvlery creek on my claim up near foster bar have a mile of fraser river under claim on both sides of the river ....wouldn't mind getting you up there at some time ....check my vids for a looksee of the area ...thanks ...michael
Do you intend to sell any of the crystals you find there ?
Is that crystal. Igot it yesterday it is like glass
Im sitting here with a slipped disk right now man... sucks...
That really does suck. Sorry to hear that
Hope the back gets better nice to be out.
Do you sale it to the public I want a beautiful peace
How do you tell the difference between a piece of glass and a piece of quartz which has not facets?
You often can't. Glass can sometimes have a green tinge to it
If it’s the place I think it is you are above a place called Pritchard, somewhere. If it is there was a good deal of soapstone, not great quality but a lot of it. Ahhh you came the other way. You didn’t find the face where they were getting the quartz from?
just watch this video, sorry to hear about Back, warm and wrap three gold mats around your waist, you WILL feel better!! =O}----
I undrstand that u need 2 doo it fast but kamera spin fast and gives me pain in the eyes ... and i feel like i m gona p..... its not beter take ur time and dooit right cz its a nice video abaut the teren of those quarts.
