This location is 100% private, and has only been dug again by Amos and The Crystal Collector over the last several years at owners request.

Amos has the most soothing calming voice. Being in a pit digging up the crystals with Amos would qualify as therapy. Thank you for sharing
Right! He's like the Bob Ross of amethysts!
i dont know him but i like him already seems like a good guy. i dont like people as a rule,. if he's anything like he is on video we could be friends.
I could listen to him all day 😂
Just watching the video I’m getting my Amos prozac! But man them amethyst are amazing!!
this was the exact kind of wholesome and joyful I needed today in 2020
Me too!!
Need it now in 2021, too
Amos is too good. Give me Amos all day. Best reactions and there is a guy who just truly loves where he is and what he is doing. During these weird times it is sooo good to see guys out working hard and getting rewarded with that they are after. Again the reactions to the rewards of hard work are worth it all.
He is one of the best men I know 🙌
it's not just the adventure, it's the friendship these guys have made on the way
I know. I wish I had a friend to knock around with the way these guys do. Very fortunate to have good friends like these. Meanwhile - can anyone tell me how such lovely crystals can form in red mud like this? I'm trying to learn and study but can't figure out how this all works. Do they grow for a thousand years or are they formed quickly in days or weeks when conditions are supreme?
@@donnavorce8856 from what I know which isint much it's formed over thousands of years through volcanic heat and gas
Probably gets pushed to the surface by tectonic plates and then erodes into these smaller pieces of geodes
350 million years old amethyst is
@@donnavorce8856 Its because when magma becames warmer the components of the magma will spread.. this is why a rock have different minerals in it.. sometimes minerals in a rock are not different but are the same .. when a rock is formed by the same mineral he becames a crystal .. and not a rock .. why a crystal is in the mud? because water with rain take off some rocks from mountains to the rivers, so sometimes u can get those crystals also near rivers.. other times vulcanic explosions simply put them out , other times the movement of the crust and the plates of the crust will take them off from the land, from the lithosphere.. im not english i tryed to talk better as i can
@Mike Betzold exactly, which is why I find it such a wholesome aspect of the videos
Hi crystal collector I love your channel it looks so much fun I live in California San Francisco Bay Area would love to go mining with you
Mr. Ellis was so gracious to share that piece of his family history with all of us. Love our American history. Beautiful.
These videos watching people dig, are so relaxing to watch! It's like ASMR for rock collectors and geologists! Especially with these two- echoing whatever the other one says, such chatty-cathys!
Never too old for a treasure hunt Thanks for bringing me along.
Dude, your honest enthusiasm is infectious! I went outside and started going through the river rocks I bought at Home Depot for a pathway, looking for gems LOL!
Wish I could do what you are doing.
Amos makes people want to be better people. He's got those old ways. Nice manners. Kind and gentle. These are the videos that switched me onto your channel Brian. Those amethysts are stunning.
Yes Amos is the best dude ever!! He is out with me right now in Tucson actually!!
It tickles me to hear y'all both get soooo excited when you pull those crystals out!
I love these guys enthusiasm for their work, I dont think it would be a bad day to do this work with friendly happy guys like this.
This video has 386 thumbs down? What were people expecting to find when they stumbled upon this video? I swear some people haven't got an ounce of brains or good sense!
They dont know their own value so they will never know the value of these showings love the color love the structure size love it all only thing better would to be digging my self
The thumbs down are people who have been at sites to see the truth. These people who do the videos like this guy get the special treatment. They and only them get to dig in the good stuff. The general public dig in the BS piles while owners or managers take these people to the good veins of gems, crystals, and minerals. You will never get to do this unless you personally know someone who can get you the "Special Deal Treatment"! I've been twice and seen it happen with my own eyes.
you are a sucker you don't find gems without knowing how to find the pockets they don't show you a thing about how to do it. That is a lie. that is a hell a lot more than just dig till you find pockets. what liers.
@@randallsummers6551 still not warranted of hate, he's just recording his experience and his cool finds, he's not bragging, just having fun.
I’m watching this 7yrs later and in awe
There really is no greater artist than nature.
🙏🙌💎💎
A heart and emoji reply? Whaaaaaaaaat??? :D
You're inspiring my GF and me to get into geology and crystal hunting! We have a little crystal collection at home, but it would be something else entirely to find them ourselves. Thank you!
That's because nature has machines the size of molecules, while our machines are the size of boulders
@@handles-suck I'd say nature has machines of all sizes. Galaxies, for instance.
It's just like some fairy tale,jems are lying here and there. Best part when you wash them and they appear like sun from clouds. Simply gorgeous
Ty for allowing us to come along. How lucky are you!! He invited you to dig in his treasure pits♥️ he seems so nice ty to him too!! I'm new to the channel so your gonna see a few comments. My hubby and I discovered how much we love to dig for crystal about 20yrs ago kids are grown now, were ready to go on adventures again!!!
Yes Crystal digging is such a fun thing! So awesome y’all are into it!
That black guy is such a happy nice guy more people should have his attitude.
ash squarkz Amos really is one of the most happy people there is!!
It totally shows ... I have watched some of your vids over and over bc they make me smile deeply ... the rapport that you two have is a rarity it's just beautiful! As much as the rocks you find!
And of all skin colors.
obviously :P he said more people :D
Yes a lot of black people have good sense of humor
The history segment with Amos was awesome!
Looks like so much fun! You can tell you really enjoy it and that the beauty in these crystals doesn't cease to amaze you.
You don't know how much I love these videos! I'm pretty old and crippled up so can't get out much. This is the best substitution for my fixes. Thank you so much!
Those were beautiful! We went on vacation years ago to Spruce Pines, North Carolina to the old Tiffany mines where you buy buckets of dirt & you go thru them & clean off everything to see what you have. I found a huge very dark purple amethyst among emeralds, rubies, aqua marine etc... I had it cut & set in a necklace & it was 16 carats after cutting! It's beautiful & so dark it almost looks black! I can imagine how thrilling it would be to actually find them like you did.
I am so glad the family was able to hang on to that property through the years. What a legacy to leave generations to come. Well done Sir, Well done!
I live in England uk I'd love to go on a dig for crystals what a dream. so many beautiful Amethysts and such nice People. bless you 🤗🤗
Those are so beautiful. I hope some day I can go on a dig before I’m totally disabled. I think I could sit and talk to you two for hours. Just amazing!!!
I love the way Amos enjoys the beauty he finds in the earth, he gets so excited.
👏💖
Those crystals were gorgeous. I like it when you show them all cleaned up. And the owners seem like such deserving people. Great video.👍🏻💕😊
Yes the owners are so cool, it’s always nice when people like that have the crystals on their property
This is so satisfying to watch I can’t explain it 🤯
Like you say in the video, I cannot get enough of these beautiful crystals. Thanks for sharing these videos.
Besides the crystal treasure hunting, what I like about these videos is Amos and everyone's enthusiasm
Wow this was just joyful to watch. The excitement is totally infectious.
The grand kids and I enjoyed joining you guys on this one! We had so much fun, thanks guys!
Thanks 🙌🙏💎💎💎💎💎
What a video ..
In these times , it’s videos like this , that remind us of our humanity, and the beauty of nature
When i was small,whenever i see a shining rock i pick it up and took it home.😀😀
Why did you ever stop doing that?
I love Amethyst. That deep purple color is fantastic.
Dude, you are living my dream. Thanks for the vids; at least I can live this part through you.
dude. Can you physically dig? you should just do it.
Thank the gentlemen for sharing their history...it was interesting.
I love amethysts. Such a pretty stone. I have a bracelet of amethyst, it one of my favourite pieces just because of how pretty it is.
I think I'd really enjoy digging with Mr. Amos. What a genuine fella.
I've been binge watching you and Amos, I'm in England and love you two guys together. Very, very well done. 😎 ❤️ 🙋🏻 🇬🇧
Thanks so much for the support!
The Crystal Collector Thank you for your fascinating videos and info. You make an English lady very happy. 🙋🏻 ☮️ 🇬🇧
Amazing gentlemen, what a treat! ....Oh! And the stones!
Cheers and Blessings!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for letting us share!

The part with Amos at the end
I love Amos .
That looks like the closest thing to heaven, digging in the mine with Amos and Brian, have watched all your video's many times, Crystal Collector, and would love to dig along side you guys. thanks for sharing your experiences.
My favorite part- is there reaction each time, it's like they are so passionate.
I love how excited they get when they get a Chrystal. I would be the same way it’s so amazing to find Chrystal’s I am learning a lot from your channel thank you for sharing.
I love your enthusiasm for beautiful gems no matter what you seek......but I adore amethysts
I live in SC. Never been crystal digging but I collect. I want to now! Amos seems adorable!
Yes, you’re in a good area to start searching
My God thanks for these beautiful crystals, and for these wonderful people.
I have watched The Crystal Collector for almost 6 years, and in the past I had many critiques that I kept to myself whilst never commenting on any video till now. Keeping my silence has helped me to watch you grow as a crystal prospector, and even evaluate myself many time to make corrections. You have come very far in 6 years even if you don't realize it. I find myself at awe with your techniques and understanding of extractions for crystals compared to 6 years ago. Keep up the good work lad!! Get you some of those shiny nom noms!!! XD
EDIT: I also wear a flat cap! XD That is too ironic. I would also like to note that your friend is very charming in his character. I couldn't think of a better person to be mucking out a hole with me.
Thanks so much for the comment! You’re right over the years I have learned to extract crystals with better operations and make better video, hope to only improve both in the future! Thanks so much for your long time support🙌🙏🙏🙌💎💎
simply thank you for sharing your joy i i get so excited just like you when you find a treasure im right there with you its the best i hope to shake your hand one day and say thank you you make sure to include every one not leave people out Such a stand-up quality it shows and you shine
If I won the lottery, this is what I would do.
Finding all these would be like winning the lottery to me😍
Ha I frequently have this thought (and I’ve never bought a lottery ticket lol). If the pot was big enough I would just buy the land to dig out of. World traveling fossil and gem hunter.
@@chemistrycat3961 You definitely have your priorities right! Good luck!

The amethyst is beautiful, but I was even more impressed by the gentle giant you were working with. He seems like he would be a great friend.
Amos is an absolute delight
Wow!! A lot of hard work but boy, oh boy! You guys look like you're having so much fun digging in the dirt!
absolutely amazing. id love to do something like this with my kids
OMG I miss mining do much. I love watching y'all find these. Thank you for sharing
I want to go and dug up my own crystals, i love them.
Your my idol I been collecting rocks since a toddler and now I do it with more knowledge still just as fun and the properties of them it's like little souls
If only I didn't live on the other side of the country. Love your videos.
I'm glad I showed up I enjoy this journey in South Carolina with you on this purple amethyst Trip great editing , storyline and a magnificent host he seemed really happy to be around I know this was a happy trip 😊. I'm here now see you around!!!
Watching them pull crystals out of the veins is so satisfying
My favourite gemstone - I've learned a great deal today, thank you.
Lost Woods from Ocarina of Time as the intro song?
BOOM, SUBSCRIBED.
Dang, I knew I recognized that tune
So I've been binge watching a good bit of your videos, mostly the newer ones, but this one! This one just warms my heart because of how sweet your friend Amos is. You guys got such a nice friendship! Definitely my favourite video. Thank you!
So BEAUTIFUL AMETHYST!
WOOOOOAH such beauty, are they expensive?
Nature is so good at making people smile👍😷👍
I hope I can dig there someday
Me too
But is it allowed for anyone to dig there?
It’s a private mine
Me too!!:)
That one where it look like a butterfly on the left-hand Corner attached to a rugged piece of bark that was cool! Nature sure is a fantastic artist but it takes man getting down in the mud and digging it out you look like you guys were having fun.
Thanks so much for showing us how you find Amethyst. I thought they were formed in volcano tubes.
I got started on UA-cam following make up tutorials but that got old fast, now, I'm subscribed to a miner's channel and practically howl at the moon when you hit a good pocket. I call that EVOLUTION BABY!!!! Looove your channel dude!!!
That’s awesome!!! Glad you’re on the crystal craze, me too! 🙌🙏💎💎💎
Yes, keep it coming, always a great surprise!
Thanks for good videoing! Thanks for showing the crystals in the light so we can see them. Some of us will never be able to go do mining and thats why I appreciate your show so much!!!💜💜💜💜😳
Second you inspire me crystal collector I want to have a job just like you when I grow up
Now how do people not believe in God.No man can make stuff like that,not even in 7 days
I loveeeeeeeee Amos!!! 🥰❤️🥰 I could listen to him talk about anything!
I'd like to meet that "Famous Amos." What a superbly handsome man. ;-)
great video! you guys were having fun! congratulations on your conquests
Terrific, guys. I assume you have had gems fashioned from some of the smaller pieces here. I'd like to see some samples if you do have individual cut stones.
Fascinating. Thanks for putting this together.
The big one is beautiful the black one on top and the purple at the bottom. I call it The Galaxy Amethyst.
Incredible video. Beautiful crystals, and beautiful people...for sure! Just a great watch! Some of THE most amazing Amethyst specimens I have seen‼️
It’s like you’re “birthing” the crystals 😂❤️
Wow! That was fantastic. Felt like I was right there with you!! Really exciting!
Amos seems like a gentle giant until you make him mad. Then he’ll pull your arms off and beat you with the wet end.
Yeah he is such a good dude, I’ve never seen him get upset but probably would not want to, LOL
Thank you for interviewing Mr Ellis. Was wonderful to hear the story of his father and guests.
Oh my! I absolutely love Amethyst! My engagement ring is amethyst, no plain diamonds for this girl! Give me the purple stuff!!
Why, oh why, do I have to live in Seattle!!
Lisa I’m in British Columbia Canada and I was to go to South Carolina and Georgia to look for gems!
u can always go on a trip there sumday.
I love amethysts, I collect them and they are my birthstone. You found some gorgeous ones, that one is sooooo good!
Omg those are so beautiful. I would love to go on a dig that would be so much fun. Thanks for the video. Felt like I was there with you all.
My favorite stone finder! I’d love to hunt amethyst here with your help of course.
You should have a bucket of water handy so you can rinse off the crystals and we can see the color and shape. Its hard to visualize something covered in mud.
Amos is a joy to watch. Love his gentle soul.
I totally wanna be your rock hound disciple!
I would just love to spend a week learning from yall
I'm jealous I wish I was there I'd love to find a nice piece like that
you and me both
mark James I am having these stone contact me for delivery to u 8860056147
Me too
My upstate family is right around the corner from this place & I can't believe I've never heard of it. They got some ex-"plaining" to do!! Amethyst is my favorite stone & also happens to be my birthstone. These are just magnificent! Thinking I have our next vacation planned!!
I could literally watch this for hours.. maybe I missed my calling.. I typically end up working crystals like the ones y’all are finding here but I might have to ride down from Rock Hill SC to play in the mud with the pros! Lol
Yes go check out diamond hill mine!!
I live in Rock Hill as well. I’m wondering if there’s any quartz or amethyst here in town?
Glad you interviewed Mr. Ellis!
My last name is Ellis so I feel like it’s destiny that I go dig!
Mrs. Crystal Collector is a blessed woman
So wholesome people.
I’m literally drooling over these, absolutely stunning😍
