I have a question about the sweatshirts you sell. One is $30 and one is $40, what is the difference. I see the material its made from is different. Is one more stretchy than the other? I prefer a more stretchy sweatshirt vs a more stiff all cotton. Any help is appreciated!
I dare you to make a perfect candy replica of turquoise, go to a gem show, sit at a stall and eat the turquoise candy while maintaining eye contact with people passing you.
Love your content! Can you make a part 2 with what happened uncovering the mine shaft? Super excited to see how much you guys can pull out, beeeaauuutiful!!!
Was having a bad day, then I saw you and Matrix and watched this video. I liked how well Matrix was climbing on the tracks to get to you. You two always make me happy.
6:54 "Let's see how much of a Mountain Goat he really is." When you turned your back to him he found a path and was down there with you. Matrix is like I am a 🐐!
For all asking what stabilizing means: Soft, chalky low grade turquoise material is put under pressure so it will absorb clear epoxy or plastic filler. This will harden and the piece can be cut, polished, and carved. Sorry, no native speaker.
Every time I see one of your videos I find myself cheering for you! Your reactions to finding the good stuff are so satisfying, I'd react the same way lol!
Awesome adventure wow never been flipped that would have been so much fun. Magnificent finds and such a vibrant blue fantastic video again awesome time thank you
Hi! Bryan! Matrix & company!! Happy Saturday! enjoying your video! Those are some vibrant stones! also, I get to work at the Gem Show this year here in Tucson!! as a greeter! so excited! wooohooo! beautiful stones you are finding! I still need to send you a photo of my rock, so you can tell me what kind it is.
@@TheCrystalCollector Awesome!! I am at My Second buyer show downtown. this wraps up Sunday. First one was at La Paloma. Will you have a stand? or only shopping? I'll look for you, as my gig Will be over! it's been really busy at The GTX. I'm blinded by all the beautiful shiny BRILLANCE!! haunt had a chance to look at everything around me yet!!
What beautiful colour turquoise is and it will be so interesting to see how it is stabilized so it can be made into jewellery. I chuckled as Matrix made his way doe the pit wall to join you, he is so wonderful and full of character lol. I also laughed at the way he gets up the catapillar track to get to you Bryan, he knows where he wants to be. Now it's my bedtime so goodnight and God bless you all love and hugs to you and Matrix Mary-Ellen UK
Yeah it’s so funny when matrix jumps up on the machines that way, this was a large one, and he was still able to make it up! Yeah I was really surprised with the color of these turquoise especially once washing them off, they just glow
Hello Hope you are doing well. Love , Love your show!!!!😀. I think Matrix should have a turquoise collar seems to be the perfect color for that cute little guy! That would be so beautiful on him!!☺😚😙😗😘😍talk to you later ! Enjoy your day ! You can tell me I'm but if you want I don't mind ! Suzanne Schube bye😁
Question for you Brian @TheCrystalCollector. What are the geological forces that came together to make Arkansas of all places such an epic place for digging amazing crystals and rare minerals like Turquoise and giant quartz? I mean it seems like Arkansas > anywhere else when it comes to rock hounding in the USA? What about the geology there made it such a special place with regards to rare minerals?
Hey that's my home state! That was something I always wanted to do was go mineral and diamond hunting. Life happened though. I'm old, married, and so on...but you are so cute and funny to watch how excited you get! I love watching your videos! I just was watching the Tucson show and wondered if you had a booth or were there. Will check out your channel to see if you made any content from Tucson.
Great video! I love it when you make videos like this, on different minerals. I did not know they had turquoise in Arkansas. That giant turquoise nugget you showed at the beginning was amazing, I never saw a nugget that big before. Some of the turquoise seemed very low grade, either crumbly, or porous. What % is of higher grade? I am excited about part 2, how much does stabilization cost? Does Avant Mining do it themselves? Now that Matrix has mining experience, he is taking more of a leadership role, operating the excavator, and supervising the Crystal collector, sending down a pile of rocks, when he starts slacking off.
Yes I seen and have even purchased some cabochons from Avant Mining that have been stabilized and it will blow your mind away, it’s amazing how good they come out after stabilization
When I traveled to AZ from upstate New York, mid 80's I was so focused on Tucson and Quartzite that we somehow bypassed Arkansas. Wow did I blow it. I did get to dig turquoise in the Twenty Nine Palms area, at Indian quarry sites. I knew about the diamonds and quartz/ Amethyst finds but I had no idea about the turquoise. Thanks for making me so very jealous.
I think you need to check out the bigger pieces that you put up on top.Pretty nice stuff, if you want some big pieces. It was like 1 whole chunk but broke up into a few pieces when the bucket dropped the pile.
What happened to the chunks from the first scoop at the 7:37 mark? Few good pieces came out of the bucket and broke down on the right side but they looked like big quality pieces you dropped up there!
Another amazing video! As always, thank you so much for posting this EPIC dig!! Mountain goat 😂🐐🐕 Did Dylan say “or a body” about the mine shaft and what could be down there 😂💀😂💀 Cannot wait for part 2!! 💙💙
I have been to a torques mine in New Mexico. Most of the torques there was just chuck. The good torques has long since been mined out. I once went looking for Herkimer diamonds in Herkimer, New York. It seemed like all the good ones were gone there too. These places don't want the general public destroying their mines. If you want a good piece you buy one in their store.
U r amazing brother appreciated your team's... 👏 I'm from india( tamilnadu) i love crystal i don't know here b4 this much of effort u guys are collecting for crystal ❤😇🙏🙌
Awesome! Love your channel! You and matrix 🥰. I’m a lover of turquoise for the color. It’s beautiful 🤩. What happened with the hole? I was super into the episode and then………….? Is it possible that I would ever get a chance to dig at this mine? Or is it permanently closed to everyone? 😩. I love digging as you do also. Thank you so much for sharing 🥰 Stay Crystal 💫 Mari
We were hoping to dig on down but Machine just would dig through that rock easily, but we did look down into it, going to go back and take more in the future
I would really really really love to go with y’all . I’m a crystal healer and lover and seriously would work so hard just to be Abel to go to the places with y’all that you get to go to please
Thanks for watching y’all!
We may do another public clubhouse dig at this location this year!
Please tell us how much your find was worth $ hey when we're not looking at all that great turquoise you're not bad eye candy, neither is the dog lol
please do! I really want to go!
I have GOT to get in on this next time!
Would like info on how to attend the next dig!? Guess I should say requirements
I have a question about the sweatshirts you sell. One is $30 and one is $40, what is the difference. I see the material its made from is different. Is one more stretchy than the other? I prefer a more stretchy sweatshirt vs a more stiff all cotton. Any help is appreciated!
Finally a Turquoise dig !!! I've been waiting for this for a long time !
I dare you to make a perfect candy replica of turquoise, go to a gem show, sit at a stall and eat the turquoise candy while maintaining eye contact with people passing you.
Haha! I so want to see this!
Double Dare you. I love your channel. 💎🍭💗
That sounds like a Pioneer Pauly stunt lol
That would be hilarious
Somebody has to know some confectioners that could do that.
Love your content! Can you make a part 2 with what happened uncovering the mine shaft? Super excited to see how much you guys can pull out, beeeaauuutiful!!!
Yes!! Thanks for watching!!

That’s a great explanation🙌
Thank you, I was wondering too
Pretty much all of the turquoise for sale as jewelry is stabilized.
Fantastic.
I would love to live there..
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!! I can't wait to see how these are turned into jewelry.
Amazing finds! Love the videos! Glad to see a new video
Every time I see one of your videos I find myself cheering for you! Your reactions to finding the good stuff are so satisfying, I'd react the same way lol!

What a super idea I’m going to have to get one made with the Turquoise we found, thanks so much
That is some really nice color 👌

I mean it seems like Arkansas > anywhere else when it comes to rock hounding in the USA? What about the geology there made it such a special place with regards to rare minerals?
Usually it’s just Mountain uplift and things like that, it releases minerals from deep underground and they spew up and crystallize
Wow great video and finds 💪🤩

I’m leaving tomorrow morning to drive out to Tucson, would you at least two videos of the show maybe three, probably put one out next weekend
@@TheCrystalCollector I'll be checking them out. Have fun!
hope i can make it out there love turquoise great place

Found your channel by watching Dan hurd's video at the crystal thing with that massive crystal.
When I traveled to AZ from upstate New York, mid 80's I was so focused on Tucson and Quartzite that we somehow bypassed Arkansas. Wow did I blow it.
I did get to dig turquoise in the Twenty Nine Palms area, at Indian quarry sites. I knew about the diamonds and quartz/ Amethyst finds but I had no idea about the turquoise. Thanks for making me so very jealous.
Wow 🤩 that Turquoise is so beautiful ! Whattttt 💜
💎💜🙌
We love it we were there in 2017 and they were just getting ready to open the claim up!
I think you need to check out the bigger pieces that you put up on top.Pretty nice stuff, if you want some big pieces. It was like 1 whole chunk but broke up into a few pieces when the bucket dropped the pile.
Yes I think Dylan checked them along with the group. thanks for watching 🙌🙌
I love turquoise!
I need to put this on my bucket list!!!
I had no idea they mine turquoise in Arkansas!
nice b,wish I were there
I would be very interested in seeing a video on the stabilization process 👍🏼 I will be here next time!
Turquoise in Arkansas! Whaaat LoL!! But seriously! Beautiful stuff!! Is there material from that location that doesn't need to be stabilized?
So great!! What type of turquoise is this.
Sevdigim güzel bir türü👍👍👍🤗
Matrix reminds me of the dog on "Rick & Morty". He would definitely look kool in a robot suit.
Have you ever made a video about how to stabilize the turquoise? Such beautiful colors!
What happened to the chunks from the first scoop at the 7:37 mark? Few good pieces came out of the bucket and broke down on the right side but they looked like big quality pieces you dropped up there!
Yes they were just thin layers but we did collect those and some of the folks only dig was able to collect them, yes it was a great scoop!

Man that’s awesome
Another amazing video! As always, thank you so much for posting this EPIC dig!! Mountain goat 😂🐐🐕
Did Dylan say “or a body” about the mine shaft and what could be down there 😂💀😂💀
Cannot wait for part 2!! 💙💙
Yes he said a body, lol
Great video, Bryan! Seeing it makes me wish I had signed up when I had the chance so I could come along. Looking forward to part 2!!
We may be doing another dig this year, stay tuned
@7:37 Me💭: 😍💙 WOW 💙😍
Would love to find me some of that that is my all time favorite stone I love to dig and find stuff
Found a nice nugget on banks of Cossatet creek once. Located south of Mena. I've heard that there were mines in the area.
Oh wow, that’s awesome!
I have been to a torques mine in New Mexico. Most of the torques there was just chuck. The good torques has long since been mined out. I once went looking for Herkimer diamonds in Herkimer, New York. It seemed like all the good ones were gone there too. These places don't want the general public destroying their mines. If you want a good piece you buy one in their store.
Watched video hoping you'd say where Mona Lisa Mine located.
I want to go there 👍
Mom passed away January 29, and right now I am planning her funeral. I will get together with you soon ❤️
I found a tiny piece the other day while looking for apache tears by accident but that is crazy how much there is.
Hey TCC, love your vids, but one quesiton, do you know how much peacock ore, or peacock chalopryte is worth?
Unless it’s a really large piece they are not worth a whole lot
Ok, Thanks man!
U r amazing brother appreciated your team's... 👏 I'm from india( tamilnadu) i love crystal i don't know here b4 this much of effort u guys are collecting for crystal ❤😇🙏🙌
Awesome! Love your channel! You and matrix 🥰. I’m a lover of turquoise for the color. It’s beautiful 🤩.
What happened with the hole?
I was super into the episode and then………….?
Is it possible that I would ever get a chance to dig at this mine? Or is it permanently closed to everyone? 😩. I love digging as you do also.
Thank you so much for sharing 🥰
Stay Crystal 💫
Mari
We were hoping to dig on down but Machine just would dig through that rock easily, but we did look down into it, going to go back and take more in the future
@@TheCrystalCollector Oh, my gosh! That would be fabulous!!! I will be watching for that episode!
Love it!
Strip mining? Do you work for Avant?
This is not strip mining, we are only digging a few feet into the ground and then covering back up. No I am independent, do not work for them
I would really really really love to go with y’all . I’m a crystal healer and lover and seriously would work so hard just to be Abel to go to the places with y’all that you get to go to please
How hard of a material is it. It does not look like it crumbling in your hand but do they all need stabilization?
It’s a lot more stable than I thought it would be when washing, it didn’t fall apart at all. But for making jewelry it would need to be stabilized
Oh look, it's that really cool show about the Dog, Matrix! Here comes Bryan, The Crystal Collector his Side-kick :)
😂
