@@pjstartv6798 Thank goodness you are here to take enjoyment from unimportant mistakes!!!! "Whose" is correct BTW, since your an ass. (Did "your" trigger anything?!?!")
Wow, I love Jordan's enthusiasm, especially when she found the ones big enough for a cocktail ring and earnings. What a fun place, Dan. Good luck with the claim.
Dan Hurd: Prospector to the stars.... Jordan Madley added a great vibe to the episode. Maybe the glee of trying something new and fun, maybe a great person in general. Learning about columnar basalt and gemstones from Dan is always interesting.
@@jonnydude90210 So im not the only one that have seen the video with Pauly and Jordan. 😊 I must say that I kinda fell in love with her personality back then. She is not just a beauty her self, she also has a great sense of humor. If you hang out with her you will never be safe for her shenanigans. 😂
I enjoyed you explaining, showing and practicaling geology to a pretty lady that was interested in learning, being shown and practicaling herself. Seriously, really enjoyed this one.
Peridot is my birthstone!!!!!!! Those were beautiful crystal chunks found ! Very exciting! I don’t even have a ring & one of those crystals would have made a beauty! I think the period mine is beyond exciting & a great plan! You must be thrilled Dan . Especially after getting such phenominal feedback from the gemologists that cleaned, polished & cut them into gem quality pieces!!! Gorgeous!!!! I would be a tough one to get off that junk of rocks! 😮😅.. yippee!!!!!
You can make a peridot ring that has a groove in the center with the small peridot dust. by laying it into the crevice with superglue as you turn the ring on a lathe. Like a silver ring with a green stripe in the middle
It’s so good to see someone just as excited, if not more excited than you, accompany you out there finding some real beauties. Need her in the channel some more. Her energy is contagious lol
Thats the way she is. Watched the video with her on Pauly's channel way back, and she has the same attitude and energy there. And she seems to always be either smiling or more common, laughing. 😂
@@fishonkayakadventure well actually I did a small nail pulling tool at one point. Not intended for stone work but reasonably effective for this. I do love those wedges. They make a satisfying sound as they get tighter.
I enjoyed this one the most because of Jordan and her infectious enthusiasm. I loved how she was so excited to find her crystals, she had me smiling the whole time. Please bring her back for more adventures.
Dear Mr Hurd, just a suggestion. Coat small crystal groupings like that in candle wax or rubber cement to hold them together when extracting. Thank you for all the content over the years, love it!
Well that was fun and so kind of you to take the lassie oot and teaching her always great to watch and she was attentive willing and seemed to get a thrill when finding some stunning crystals
'Crystal/s' are referring to the structure of a particular mineral. Have a look at crystallography and mineralogy. Different minerals will have specific shapes depending on their chemical makeup. Fun but difficult to learn if your interested. Take care
That stuff is absolutely everywhere around kelowna There's like 5 spots. I can think of off the top of my head that you could drive a car to and yes there decent size
Yes, Dan took the club on a field trip to this spot, and one other. It was so much fun. The Big white site does not have very nice color. And the lighting peak site has its own issues.
Love her excitement, and tbh I would be excited to be able to do this, Perdot was one of my wifes favourites. Theres nothing better with a subject like this than seeing someones love for what they are doing, a smile to warm a hardened heart
My wife and I were on a hunt to find a Peridot necklace recently and were surprised by how hard it was to find anything. It sounds like your mine will do a lot to provide not only more Peridot, but the best quality Peridot to boot!
You always have such interesting guests thats was a super fun video. Also a peridot mine! Congrats Dan, that's super exciting! Gorgeous specimens, woo-hoo!
JORDON is so cute and fun, the pretty princess got her gems, she prettied up the channel, I bet she pretties up every room she enters, WOW! So happy you made her day. I tell you one thing if I had to run back to the truck for something for her I bloody would, and I have not ran in 25 years.😅
For peridot fans out there (I am one) Pakistan produces largish crystals, often bounded by perfect faces, the size of the tip of your thumb. Not from basalt, rather an altered magnesite that has been metamorphosed by hot fluids. Gem rough dealers offer these, about the same price range as gem garnet.
@@jameswelch1054 Yes, Tanzania.. I just haven't cut any from there. Pakistan probably mines more, but the African material is abundant on the finished stone market.
Beautiful gems! I'm definitely jealous! Wanted to make a couple points on what you were saying early on about the deposition of this material. Not that I'm disagreeing with you on how _this_ deposit occurred, but olivine can crystallize out of basaltic magma (though from the looks of this stuff, I'd agree with your xenolithic interpretation), and columnar basalt isn't always necessarily plutonic. If you have flood basalts that fill in deep troughs on surface, they can cool slowly enough to form columnar jointing. Great video, loved seeing you bring a noob out for such an exciting day, and best of luck moving forward with the permitting! Cheers!
Fantastic video 💎Dan!! That big pocket Jordan found was a mega find! Please tell me we won't be seeing any Dan Hurd shirtless prospector calendars for 2025!😂😂
Well , your channel became much more attractive ( not because you removed your shirt). The addition of a beautiful young lady is always welcome. Thanks for the smiles.

LOL "I FOUND MY COCKTAIL RING!!!" Jordan's funny and smart...please bring her back ❤
‘You had two questions’
Proof that Dan actually listens to other people. A rare skill!
If I remember correctly he was a metal shop teacher for quite a while so I’m sure he hasn’t lost those skills lol
Her excitement and wonder was delightful!
This video had everything, the energetic supermodel, topless Dan Hurd and all.
And a camera guy in Crocs
Is it just me, or is a all rock hounders get the giggle when they find the beauty? I love this!
It’s a wonderful feeling to find that awesome gem (just fantastic rocks even ) love from the conk in Ontario
I had a stroke just reading that
She made this one fun and asked stuff I would
Wow, I love Jordan's enthusiasm, especially when she found the ones big enough for a cocktail ring and earnings. What a fun place, Dan. Good luck with the claim.
Looks like Dan found a gem, and some gemstones too!
feme fatal was worth the watch lol
Dan found an excuse to show off his pecs, lol.
What a bundle of energy!!!! You should have her on again...❤
She was asking all the right questions, and just the right amount of excitement. Dan Hurd doesn't go to Hollywood, they come to him!

You could do an epoxy inlay, shape and polish it on a drum or flat lap.
Great hiking boots the extra camera dude was wearing! Totally perfect for out in the rocks, and boulders.....
I thought so too. An accident waiting to happen.
I love when people with different paths get to totally vibe in a shared interest. Great video and fun time.
It would be cool if you do an update on any jems she gets made into jewelry 😊
It’s so good to see someone just as excited, if not more excited than you, accompany you out there finding some real beauties. Need her in the channel some more. Her energy is contagious lol

I’m stoked on the peridot pronunciation lesson. I’ve wondered on that for days.
I love the fact that you use some normal carpenter tools. This is proof that knowledge is the most important tool anyone has.

the funniest and most energetic guest you have had on the channel. Yes, bring her back if you can.
3:25 "mantle"... nice recovery. JK. A+ Dan and Jordan! Seriously, I'd love to see more of Jordan in more gemstone videos. This was fun.
Dear Mr Hurd, just a suggestion. Coat small crystal groupings like that in candle wax or rubber cement to hold them together when extracting. Thank you for all the content over the years, love it!
Love that someone like her watches your videos.
Jordan's enthusiasm is contagious. I enjoyed seeing her with you. Perhaps more ventures in the future together? ♥
Hounding for gems never gets old. Thanks, Dan!
This video is contagious on many levels. I like it!
Please keep the science in here. The more information the more I enjoy watching
Great video Dan!!! love the gemstone videos please keep it up, your vids mean so much to so many more than youll ever know
I think that you and Jordan have a lot of great chemistry on camera -love her enthusiasm!
Well that was fun and so kind of you to take the lassie oot and teaching her always great to watch and she was attentive willing and seemed to get a thrill when finding some stunning crystals
What fun to watch! Sundays are always a blast when there is a Dan Hurd adventure to be on!
So much fun watching Jordan and her pure joy at finding beautiful crystals!
Her enthusiasm for learning about and finding cryatals is really wholesome.

Fun but difficult to learn if your interested. Take care
I have some Peridot from the San Carlos Indian reservation. Beautiful!!
That stuff is absolutely everywhere around kelowna There's like 5 spots. I can think of off the top of my head that you could drive a car to and yes there decent size

@@gndn The stuff I find up there is sure, nice and I even find black spinel
any chance you'd mind sharing one of these spots? I have been searching for peridot for so long and have never been able to find any
Mr Dan you make a great teacher you have the patience and still have a great attitude man two thumbs up over here in Georgia
Wowza Jordan is a real gem, and for being 45 (5 days older than me) she's certainly not showing it! Her energy stole my heart.
Her excitement made me smile and laugh. Beautiful gems very nice. Blessings
Need more Jordan! Her excitement is infectious! Great video!
Ah that would be a dream! Peridot is stunning. Thanks for the fun video! 😊
It's great watching your gem hunt. I, too, found myself with a Heavy backpack after a day of looking for buried treasure
God speed
Jordan is a breath of fresh air and hilarious I hope you guys will do more videos together :)

Beautiful gemstones! And I loved Jordan's excitement!
I loved every bit of it dan! I really did I enjoyed it and I enjoyed her enthusiasm.
Peridot really are beautiful looking stones :) Cheers for sharing your videos, with us
You have to love finding friends who have as much interest in your hobby as you, but somehow even more energy haha
Very entertaining, let's see more of Jorden in the future.
A gorgeous rockhound. Some cool specimens. Almost too hard to break. Thank you for sharing.👍
You definitely need to have this babe on many more videos!! Maybe only 80-90% of them.❤
Loved her energy! Bring her along next time you go to a larger crystal dig. I bet she would be a riot!
Thanks for another fantastic good-fun - and educational - video!
8:20 That crystal that had a flaw and broke in half actually broke when you were pointing at it and said the word "break".
I saw that on the video during edit, did not see it in person
@@Danhurd I just thought it was quite the coincidence.
So Dan has superpowers now?? Well, im not surpriced to be honest... 😂

Congratulations Dan!
That’s a bold choice of footwear Mr. Cameraman, whilst traversing a corse rock field and looking into the viewfinder.
I love my crocks. As long as you're used to them they wear basically the same as normal shoes
4:20 didnt even see the footwear because it was blocked by that massive moose knuckle mid screen.
Happy and informative video more please
I really liked the musical feathering wedge!
Awesome video with outstanding people in it thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
She looked so happy. ❤
good post, all...big fun, big finds...go on!

I love when people experience something new. You should push yourself to do that everyday.
Nice! Can't wait to see the trophy pieces from this mine!
Thank you so kindly for sharing another excellent video. Take great care and keep smiling.

Amazing Dan! I want to come play 😊 that place is the best playground ever!
Eye protection? Fossicking and rockhounding is a great activity to get kids into, but including some basic safety stuff is a really good idea.
