Finding Crystals in Matachewan Road Cuts

- Rainy day exploring. Checked out a few interesting readouts in Northern Ontario. They would be cleaned out if down south. Every one had something interesting, but no gold.

The second road cut looked like Gowganda Tillite from here.
Blueberry’s for the win !!!!!
Did you go in off hwy 11 by Kenagami? Everytime I drive by Kenagami I'm intrigued by the cuts along the hwy just passed the matachawan turnoff with the small round rocks inbeded into the sedimentary bedrock. Have you stopped at them?
I haven't )yet). ;-)
I wonder.. is there anything Greig does not know about rocks??❤️☮️
Yes....where to put them all😂
Great answer!
Cool conglomerant!
Cool road cuts.
For give my ignorance. Is that in Colorado?😎
Ontario (Canada)
Be careful climbing around on those ledges!! Great video! :)
I'm glad you can identify these crystals. I would be just gazing at them going "oooooooooooo shiny, neat shapes, neat colors" lol
I often just pick up shiny rocks or rocks with a nice pattern too. ;-)
I was thinking pudding stone right when you said it, lol. That was surreal. I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking us on your adventures!
Anything you're going to polish?
maybe ;-)
Interesting and cool locations to explore for rocks & crystals.
I would be interested in learning why most quartz is milky looking vs the big clear crystals. What is the difference in conditions that produce both kinds? I do know that big crystals form very slowly. Keep up the amazing videos and glad to see you seem recovered from your injuries. Your pal in Silicon Valley, Rich.
Actually, they've discovered that if conditions are right, crystals can form in tens or hundreds of years vs thousands or millions
Generally speaking, the difference in between the two is that milky quartz when it deposits traps moisture and gas from the area around it’s structure, leading to the white impurities that you can see. Clear quartz on the other hand is relatively clear from imperfection in the crystal itself.
So, like making ice with tap water vs. bottled water?
Is the asbestos dangerous?
It is bad to breath
Blueberries and bears. Watch out for them.
that conglomorate looks like gowgandatillite, i could be wrong tho
Geology Norm Macdonald found some crystalssssssss!
Look Like Fun For You And The Dog's. I'd Like To Go Look But It's 91 Today All The Rock's Are To HOT. And No Air In The Wood's So We Will Just Stay Home. 😎👍✌.
I used to go out rockhounding when it was so hot that I was worried Daisy was burning her paws. Don't do that anymore. ;-)
Be interesting to check your rocks with a Geiger counter.
Very nice! Im glad you checked that sample for gold......good things happen when you least expect it! That day happened to be blueberries 🍻
The blueberries were soooo good. I should have filled some containers rather than stuff them all in my mouth. lol
Thank you, great adventure!
Another cool video from the man😮😅
Sir, In this video their is black rockstones for this stones which chemicals can dissolve sir . Please name the chemicals.With your pleasure sir
I usually use muriatic acid (HCL) to remove calcite.
If you're finding asbestos, the green is most likely a type of serpentinite or serpentine. My guess, anyway.
My guess too.
blueberries are always a win
I cant understand why we put Asbestos on our cruiseships. Ive found a huge quartz rock wall im gonna explore it as soon as i can.
Good luck on your quartz adventure
@@meMiner Thank you :)
Melanieeeeeee
Make sure to bring your pinpointer for scanning the quartz veins. If you hear something, crush and pan it. You never know! Great vid!
That area has certainly undergone a lot of disruption and compaction, as well as mineral influx.
I was thinking you may find garnets.
I didn't see any garnet, but there are some known spots nearby (maybe an hour drive)
Quiet, unassuming and passionate about your craft. Such a good recipe for a successful rockhounder's channel. Love your work as usual mate.
Thank you very much!
Have you ever come across decalcification?
of bone?
@@meMiner no, of mudstones or limestone?
@@waywardgeologist2520 Ah. Not that I have noticed, except maybe in mine adits on the walls
