Would you like to see similar videos in the future? There are a lot of mineral localities I can cover with videos!
Hello from Peru! Keep them coming! Such a beautiful place to do your rockhounding! Cheers!
@@schneemann2612 exactly, Alps are beautiful mountains. What it's like in Peru? Any famous localities?
We have the Andes cordillera running thru the country end to end South to North of course and there are a number of spectacular peaks thruout that range. Of particular note is what are called the Alpes of Peru, the mountains in Huaraz Peru. Our mountains tend to be a little bit dryer so we don't see the endless green meadows like you have. See here the Wiki page on that :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huaraz

@@schneemann2612 Huaraz just looks amazing! Thank you for sharing with the info about this beautiful place. I always wanted visit the western part of South America because of its landscapes, hope I'll have a chance to go there soon.
You're welcome Dan! Let me know if you do come out this way, I'll try to give you some tips on traveling here in Peru. Also meant to mention on the mineral collecting side that over the years I have complied a list of the minerals found here in Peru by locality - provincia, distrito and mine name. It's no Mindat resource, but it's pretty comprehensive. @@danvoznak
Awesome garnets!!
Thank you! :)
What an astonishing landscape!
Alps are beautiful!
Nice!!
Thank you a lot!
Wir waren selbst dort, haben auch ein paar schöne Funde. Da war aber ein älterer Herr, der hatte Stücke noch viel beeindruckender als die gezeigten.
Very cool
thank you!
Quite spectacular. Was it the toponyms that made you look there or you already knew/read that good sized garnets could be found there?
I checked it on a website called Mindat, also Ötztal is kind of famous locality in geological community.
Spectacular views and really nice finds! Is it a long hike from the Hohe Mut 2 cable car station? We are in the region right now and would love to do some hounding ourselves.
Thanks a lot!
You can get to the foot of Gaisbergferner in 1 hour from the cable car, however if you want to find nice specimens, you need to go up under the Granatenkogel as seen in the video.
This will take you whole day :)
I was in the vicinity last week. Sadly, I'm nowhere near experienced enough to get close to the Granatenwand... But I did find some smaller, (slightly) blemished garnets on the path leading up to the glacier. Finding them made my day, I'm so happy.
I hope I'll be able to return in the future, get closer, and find some bigger and better pieces.
less than 2 months will my trip to Austria..really want to do some rock hounding
Glad to hear that! Alps (and Obergurgl especially) will be already covered in snow, but you can still find some nice localities! Do you know mindat.org?
@@danvoznak Alps will already have snow in October?? Damn I thought it would be November-ish..so the area you found these garnets will already be covered? Yes I am familiar with mindat but it never really helped me..was confusing..do the garnets wash down far enough that the snow has not covered any of them downslope?
does that mean searching for emeralds in Otztal will also be of no use?
Wonderful! New sub! Would like to take my son on his first crystal hunt this summer.
I am glad you liked the video! Where are you planning to go?😄
@@danvoznak I have no idea whatsoever, i have a mountaineering back ground, but life got in the way. My son is 11 now and in good physical condition, used to climbing in the gym. The alps hot spots in July/August can get too crowded, so preferably a lesser known destination. Tips are very welcome ))
@@dk2428 Sure! I do not know where exactly you live, but there is a lot of places in Switzerland and Austria, which are less know and not crowded. Do you know mindat.org? Really useful website to find nearby localities.
I hope to manage to visit some localities in Zillertal in August..
Dobry den, mohu se zeptat mam v plánu tam vyrazit někdy mezi 14-17.7 tak jestli náhodou nemáte cestu kolem 😆 anebo jestli by jste byl tak hodný a neřekl mi nějaké rady a typy třeba jak je to daleko od lanovky jaká cesta je nejlepší a nebo jaké vybavení si vzít. Děkuju a byl bych rad kdyby tam byl někdo zkušenější
Zdravím, budu do půlky září v Iráku, takže Alpy mi letos bohužel nevyjdou...
Cesta až k úpatí ledovce Giasbergferner je bez problému, tam doporučuji vzít lanovku Hohe Mut 2, zpět sejít po údolí do Obergurglu..
Problém nastává, když se člověk dostane k Gaisbergferneru a musí pak stoupat přes ledovcovou suť nahoru - jedná se o nebezpečný terén, svah může se sesunout/uvolnit tunové šutry.
Pěkné almandiny naleznete i dole, ale platí, že čím výš se vyšplháte, tím hezčí a méně poškozené kousky najdete.
Co se týče vybavení, doporučuju kladívko a rukavice, čím míň, tím líp.
Budu držet palce! Dejte vědět, jak dopadnete a neváhejte se zeptat na další dotazy!
Super děkuju moc za rady určitě dam vědět jestli mi to vyjde. A děkuju za vstřícnost
This is soo cool a love it my dream is find one like this. I’m from czech republick Its not too far but I have no one to go with😢💎❤️
V Alpách je plno podobných míst, určitě doporučuju! Almandiny se dají najít i u nás, ale rozhodně ne takové kvality...
Můžeme zůstat v kontaktu, do Alp na šutry jezdím pravidelně, ve více lidech je to vždy lepší!
@@danvoznak to by bylo super když budem v kontaktu Ja se sice tak často do Alp nedostanu ale třeba to někdy vyjde a potkáme se .😄
hey can I buy some specimens from you?
Sure, feel free to write details to mineralground@gmail.com
