    Hey Brian, thank you for this video. It hit me in a different way than it would most. I spent a lot of time digging that same bench and cave, and pulled more red beryl than most can dream of. It's where i became interested in minerals in more than just a prospect for capital gain. I made life long friends there, and it has taken my life down some beautiful roads.
    I vended with Nico in Tucson in 2020, and after that, everything changed. I haven't been out mining with friends or vending the big shows in 3 years!. I've been stuck at a 9 to 5 trying to figure out why the hell I'm not out living my life to the fullest, and seeing this video kind of hit me like a reminder of the life i was living, and how much i truly loved it.
    Sorry if this is too long and it didn't get read, but i wanted to thank you for sharing this journey. I hope someday i can meet up with you guys. You don't know me, but Nico does. He was trying to get me to come out to his mines in CO back in 2020 before my vehicle broke down and I rooted myself here in AZ. I finally got a truck and a plan to uproot myself and get back to doing what I love. Happy mining buddy ❤

    I could have done that climb 20 years ago, but I don't see anything big. My favorite spot is the Beryl Pit in Ontario. The beryl is different shades of blue. Very large beryl crystals were found there in the past. Many other interesting stones there as well - smoky quartz, tourmaline, amazonite, etc. The hike to the site is easy.

  • @jcarry5214
    @jcarry5214 Рік тому

    Yeah when you drive up to Topaz you look at the hill and think oh, that's not too bad. Then you start up the steep part and it's dizzying. It would be SO EASY to get really, really hurt. I appreciate your warnings. I also found my first scorpion there. With my hand.
    You can have a ball looking around in the flats for loose crystals, they're quite literally everywhere.

    I've been in that spot a bunch of times. Some of those caves that people have dug in the hill there are pretty sketchy though. I have to say that topaz mountain is one of my favorite spots to dig in Utah. Which is saying something, considering all of the killer spots I know around here. But I would have to say that the spot where I have the most fun, is on Paul's claim for those huge golden selenite crystals. But then you already know that, I know that you have been there as well.
