I absolutely adore your videos Liz. Although I have no chance available to search for crystals your videos make me feel like Im there with you and Wally. Biggest thanks xx
I want to collect crystals and minerals but I sadly don't live in a good geographical area, But it's very fun to watch you collect crystals Liz
I reckon you already have, but have a look around, even if you don't have anything as big or as good as this, there should still be SOMETHING around, my best formed crystal that I found is only 7mm long
Hi Hikari, Gems and minerals can be found anywhere in the world. It's only a matter of doing a bit of research to find out what gems and minerals could be near your area. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Liz
@@LizKreate For where i live there really isn't much for variety but I where i live does have two cool geographical phenomenon (i think that's the proper term) which is pele's hair and pele's tears
Hikari Yosei actually there is stuff everywhere where I live there is yellow calcite, rose quartz, jasper, quartz and agate geodes like literally outside my house and I use almost all for cutting or jewelry but specimens I keep in my yard so ther is probably somthing
@@josephrangel735 That's amazing
You are so happy when finding gems that it makes me happy just watching your videos haha
For some reason, watching other people digging for crystals and gemstones are really satisfying, but also kinda sad cause I want to dig for Crystals but I'm only 12
Me To Except Im 9
Oh i
cheers Liz..another good video
Thanks Susan. Cheers, Liz
I love your videos Liz!!! Always get excited for these ones!

You are most welcome and I am flattered to know that I've inspired you. Thank you for watching and commenting again and again. :-) Wishing you all the very very best. Cheers, Liz
Liz, maybe a fine tipped, long handled icepick would be a great tool to put into your arsenal! Exciting finds!
Brilliant video.
Love your videos! Would love to see a video of you finding and polishing Amber
Unfortunately there's not too many places here in Australia that I know of that has Amber. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Liz
@@LizKreate that's a shame... I just found my first piece not long ago, if you ever come to the U.S. visit the pine forests of New Mexico we have beautiful red Amber

@@LizKreate fantastic content love your attitude and banter your a doer not a gona greetings from UK England Essex near London I'm a geologist too has a meteorite collecton too 👌💪🐺🐾💕😉
Best thing I've found for flies is a mosquito net that goes over your hat and tucks in around your collar. Buy them in camping/fishing stores or junk shops. Or make yourself.
They are handy. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
My goodness Id love to know where some good areas are to take my kids out, we are looking to make some memories and I collect crystals, would love to know more 💞 thank you for sharing. 🌟
It's about time!
Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
I live in Arizona in the United States. I would be afraid to look for any kind of rocks or crystals in a narrow gourge like you are in, for fear of running into a snake. Do you have snakes too? How do you know what to look for when you are looking at the raw earth, in order to spot an unclean crystal? Those that you found are really beautiful! Thanks for your videos.
Me myself and i look for lines along the rock kinda like folds. Look for the glimmer bits if its already exposed.
We have the most types of deadly snakes in the world eastern brown, king Brown, redbelly black snakes and more Google dealt snakes of Australia it will supprise you and then we have deadly spiders as well to top it off
@@Roumourstar I would die if I ran across any of those snakes or spiders!
cool like vids n learning about gemstones n were to find them
Thanks for watching and commenting Mati. Hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Liz
:) Shared on our Fossicking Australia Womens Group on Facebook. You're a great inspiration. :)
Thanks for watching and sharing Jeanette. Didn't know there's a women fossicking group on FB. Thanks for the info. Cheers, Liz
We started the group primarily to find fossicking/camping buddies, but it's grown and we have lapidarists, geologists, gemologists and fossickers of all different levels of experience.
Can you tell us the URL for the group on FB?
You'll have to answer the 3 question to get in. :) It helps us to weed out the bots. :)

Hi Liz, thanks for these amazing videos! Big fan! Keep up the great channel!
I bought a book to study more because of you. But have some stones that i still don't know what it is... how to do.. lol
Gemstones are mind boggling. Just when you think a stone is something, you'll find out that it's something else. Good luck and have fun identifying the stones/gems that you have. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
I live in texas we only really have clear and smokey white quartz so ive seen.
I'd like you to do longer videos!
I'd love to do it Holly but it takes so much time to edit and produce even a short video. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
It's beautyful!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Liz
best thing to wake up to!
Thanks for watching nuni and i'm glad you enjoyed the vid. Cheers, Liz
Yay new video!!!❤️
Do you know of anywhere around Brisbane for a day trip with kids? You do so much travelling around Australia. Must be amazing.
Hi Gina, Sorry that I don't know of any place near Brisbane as we don't venture through that area. Maybe try contacting the Lapidary Clubs near you as they usually have outing to gemfields near your area. Good luck and happy hunting. Cheers, Liz
Hi Liz we love your videos I was wondering what is the location in Bathurst and how do you find the spot in the forest can you give us any details happy fossicking regards Lorraine and John
Here's a link below to Blue Hill Quarry on Mindat. Good luck and happy hunting. www.mindat.org/loc-122296.html
wow great stuff where is this place so i can take my grand kids out there show them thanks
This is at Blue Hills Quarry Oberon, NSW. Directions and maps can be found online.
Muito lindo ótimo video
Obrigado por assistir. Felicidades, Liz
Treasure cave! of smokies...
Thanks for watching Memory and hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Liz
@@LizKreate Did you dig here in AZ? NM? UT?
Acts 2:38 Acts 22:16 Mark 16:16 Galatians 3:27 Revelation 1:5 for your spiritual info
who won't to join me on a trip to this place..
she is digging from east to north direction as will find the pocket
Hi Liz when are you guys comming back down to tassie again?
No plans at the moment Daniel but hopefully not too far in the near future. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Hi Liz and Wal, i’ve seen all your great videos and i am always waiting for one more! Thanks for the new content! I’m from Peru and here’s few info about gems, i live in the capital (Lima), do you know something about my country? What do you recommend me to start? Thanks !
Nice Smokey Quartz.
They sure are and will make beautiful jewellery. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
how much thay
Its easier to work a pocket of quartz crystals here in newfoundland because everything is so wet here.
Trouble is finding the pockets at all.
Hi Liz, when you guys went to lune what kind of agates did you find?
The use of a small pressure washer would preserve the crystal intact.
Hi there just wondering where abouts in NSW this is
This is at Blue Hills Quarry, Oberon. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
im so desperate to go digging again, I went over a year ago to the glenniness for the un saphires, I was in love with it, I went with my ex, now im single and wanting to figure out how to get some fun again I live for the dream of me doing this.
Who would abandon this place? It's a 🔥🔥 hot spot.
Lindo queria ter só uma pequenina de lembrança
Next time use a hard wood digger,,if possible,,,itll prevent damage,,
Hey guys love your vids! My girl and I are new to crystal hunting, would love to know where you're digging? So beautiful!
This is at Blue Hills Quarry, Oberon, NSW, Australia. Thanks for watching and good luck out there Luke. Cheers, Liz
@@LizKreate thanks a lot for that! So hard to get info on dig sites, so many people just like to keep it to themselves and it makes it really hard to find good spots and learn this awesome hobby! Do you need any permit to did there? Thanks again!
It's in a State Forest so you'll need a permit from Forestry Corporation. Link is below the description box of the video. Cheers, Liz
And forgot to ask you... how many years are you doing hunting for all sorts of those minerals and diamonds?
Hi Ping Lu, Been chasing gems and gold regularly for over 25 years. Cheers, Liz
I get the bug every time I watch your videos.
Thanks for watching and commenting Jim and glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Liz
beautiful crystals.....what do you do of this
We keep it for personal display and others we make into jewelry. Thank you for watching and happy new year. Cheers, Liz
Why not use a wooden stake or a sharp stick? You'll less likely to damage any tips or shafts
Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the vid. Cheers, Liz
good job
Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Liz
Hi liz i am in illawarra on holiday can u recomend where i can find crystals, either to fossick or purchase? any help would be much appreciated thanx
Is this a public area? I am going soon to oberon
Is there meet ups or trips to go on as im on my own and need a few peopel to go with as I dont really have much luck figuring out mud maps and dont have a4 wheel fdrive to I am in central coast
Try getting in touch with Central Coast Lapidary Club. They usually have field trips and can organize people to go with. Just look them up online. Good luck.
Hi I’ve been watching your channel for a while and I thought I’d ask, do you think there are or have you ever found geodes in Tasmania?? If so where about? I really spoke love to find one but I can’t find very much information on them here so I’m starting to think they’re too hard to find or they aren’t here 😂 thanks!!
We haven't found any whole geode in Tasmania but in saying that, we did find a few broken crystal clusters that might have been from a geode in the Lune River area. Generally your best shot on finding geodes is where you find agates. Good luck and happy hunting. Cheers, Liz
Liz Kreate thank you!!!
Hi liz would you Kindly give me the direction to this quarry please I'm in Victoria
Hi Belinda, If you google up "Blue hills Quarry NSW," a lot of info would show up for this place. But you'll need a NSW State forest license (available online) to fossick here. Below is a link to more info for you. Happy Hunting. Cheers, Liz
