Thanks everyone for watching!! This is a fun video! If you enjoyed throw me a thumbs up and maybe a share!
I've been working on volume control and learning more each video, this video was fairly smooth but could have used one more round of loudness for some devices. To do that I must run it thru another program, and it takes a while but in the future I'll have it even more dialed in. I really appreciate the support and couldn't and wouldn't be doing this without y'all!! Thanks again!! Bryan Major
The Crystal Collector hello.
Where can I find amethyst the size of a small pet? As in not a geode of multiple crystals buts single crystal...
I watched the unedited and edited version. I would have never thought to go there. Like you, I didn’t think the fund would be worth it.
How much is the admission?
I've never been disappointed when gem hunting in Franklin. The Mason mine or the Rose Creek mine always produce good quality rubies, sapphires and garnets. Plus, the kids have a blast in the mud!
Id love to see some of the crystals you find all cleaned up faceted and polished. Can you do that for the fans? That would be amazing to see.
That would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah
YES TO KYANITE PILE! I LOOOOOOOOVE KYANITE! I just bought a beautiful huge cluster of kyanite and I love the color and formation! 💙
I’m going there tomorrow. I can’t wait!!!!!
Btw, Brian, if you are ever interested, I could hook you up with a friend of mine in Georgia whose entire yard is amazing quartz formations, and I mean literally his entire yard. He’s also found quartz arrowheads, quartz points that has a similar color to rose quartz and he’s starting to see some purple in with the quartz. He is in the amethyst belt area.
Great finds and polish up to extremely beautiful rubies and the bigger garnets pop with brilliant hot pink to purple pink colors!
Whaaattttt???? really nice stones you got there Buddy....cannot wait to see those beauty polished.
Yes, 2 piles!!!!!!!
Going to Mason Mountain next week!!!
Beautiful gemstones Brian especially the Kyanite!! Those rubies are huge!! The Rhodalite Garnets are just beautiful and gemmy in color and great quality.
Love the ENTHUSIASM 💗💗💗
Finding crystals seems to do this to us guys that appreciate their beauty hey... 😉
I think people would love to get the kyanite as well.
We agree!
Kyanite is cool stuff.
Just found the page and it makes me want to drive the 8 hours with the fam hopefully they add the kyanite in the mix too
These are beautiful gemstones! Please do tell the owner to begin a kyanite pile, I think most people would be interested. I can't wait to see these stones polished, although it'd be hard for them to get any prettier!
I’m goin there. I’m amazed at how your videos keep me interested. I don’t keep interest very long but whene I watch u tube I check here for the videos I want to watch first
You should go, its a great time! I go regularly now, its fun and you get a heckin good workout too. I suggest going on a rainy (not thundering) day or cloudy day, it's very hot right now in NC. If you do go, bring lots of water.
Mystical Moonstone thank you for the comment and all the tips. I do alotta collecting in New York but need to plan a trip to North Carolina this place looks worthwhile!!
Rubies are my all time favorite gemstone.
Definitely a place to add to the bucket list.
Gorgeous Garnets! Can't wait to see the Rubies polished!
Great vid Bryan! I come here for the fine minerals, but I mostly come here for you. Your enthusiasm is fun and contagious. Love you, 😍🤣😂😂😘. Big hugs, Gin
Thanks so much 🙌💎😊❤️💜
Most people don't know this but Ruby and Sapphire are the same stones, but different colors, different names. :) love the videos collector! Can't wait to see what you got for us next!
Scuffé Pizza I know!
Beautiful & Awesome! 🙏❤
Oh my goodness YES PLEASE! on a kyanite pile or two! Everything you found is scrumptious, Bryan.
Oh yeah, add my vote to adding a nice juicy pile of kyanite gravel! Gorgeous material..
As a kid my family went to Franklin and the ruby mines. Great memories.
YES to the Kyanite "piles".........simply LOVE the pinkish/purple colors you found!!!
Ship one of those Ruby’s out to me Bryan! 😝
Great video! Like always!
Awesome finds! Can't wait to see them polished and in there glory 😍
I love your videos!!!!!!😊
Thank you for creating educational, fun, satisfying content.
Much love from New Zealand
If the mine owner feels he can recoup his cost in fuel to dig a separate pile, I'd go for it! I'll certainly watch videos on it--love this location! Hugs to Matrix and the rest of the family!
That Ruby is amazing! I love Ruby! Such a amazing variety of Corundum
Awesome find kyanite ❤️Awesome finds
I am obsessed with your vids great stuff man very informative and entertaining I get excited every time I see a new vid!!!!
Love the vid
Thanks for sharing with us
The garnets in the mica matrix are my favorite---beautiful pieces. Love your videos, thank you.
That’s the mine from my home town I started my obsession with. Always good finds
Hi crystal collector you are my favorite youtuber
Do you think you could cut one of the rubies in half to see what the interior looks like? And great video keep up the good work!
Yes I can’t wait to start cutting and polishing, it could surprise us!! 🙌
The Crystal Collector fantastic I will be waiting!
@@pierre-alexandremueller2614 It seems that most of the Rubies will have hexagonal phantoms/internal layers.
NAK I wonder where they take the beautiful clear rubies that they use for jewelry...?
@@pierre-alexandremueller2614 No idea exactly.
Ruby, garnet, kyanite! Yeah, put it in the piles! 😍
Yes ! I would like to see it too.! Wow ! So fun.
My son and I drove down from Ohio because of your huge carnet video from NC. Is there any way you could summarize your process for polishing the one you showed in video? My wife's birthstone is garnet and I wanted process a larger one for her birthday. Your tips and info on the mine created a great Father Son experience. He hammered for hours in the mine! You inspired him a great deal. Pretty good for a teenager.
The most priceless gem I got out of going there in 1975 and camping out the night before on a cold March weekend was that is the weekend I conceived my Beautiful one and only Child My Daughter ! Went the first weekend in March and she arrived Dec 3rd 1975 !!!! Her name in Native American means Valley and that is where we were camped !! Yes my precious " DENA "
Your editing skillz are improving my friend! Not that that is why I watch your videos. They have always been entertaining!
Learning and growing ❤️ It's great
Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
Hi, I'm happy to follow you on youtube. It has to be something beautiful, amazing to travel and find minerals. I'm from the Czech Republic and looking for minerals in the Czech Republic. You have big mineral deposits in the USA. We have smaller sites, but more rare minerals.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
Another excellent video!!! Thanks brudda!
Dig it all up TCC, gems are gems, i love your vlogs, it fill my day. Thanks
Great findings!!!
Awesome adventure some beautiful finds and yes he should have two piles would be great to find some of them also thank u be safe big guy
Love you're videos! Keep up the good work
Love kyanite ... soothing, healing crystal that never needs cleansing (energy) Thank you very much 😎
Yes! Make multiple piles!!🖤🖤 💎
I just discovered these videos and I immediately went to see if there was a mine near-ish to me. Unfortunately there is only 1 in all of Canada, it's a couple hours from me but I'm not that interested in opal. I'll just have to live vicariously through this content
My family LOVES the little town of Franklin, NC! I’ll have to look this place up on our next visit.
Thanks for sharing! 🤙🏼
just saw your van at a sheetz in Virginia, searched you! soooo cool! so glad I found you!
Not again...I love that place. I'll be dreaming about picking them all up now!😀 I'd be going back there too if I could. Look forward to seeing some of those beauties all polished up! Who hoo!👍
Spectacular finds
That is just something that larger boulder would be so awesome in a garden or a rec pond! As a kid you really could have gone on a treasure hunt there!
i from lenoir nc and have been rockhounding the yadkin river. all im finding is small garnets but they are plentiful. cant wait to find the motherload. thanks for the videos. awesome.
Nice job on finds and video!!
You are just finding a lot of stuff keep up the great work
I love GARNETS !
I would love to go through both piles! I just learned that I live an hour and a half away from this mine. I will be visiting soon 😁
Thank you for yet another wonderful video buddy! Your stuff is always a joy to watch... 🥰
And yes, a second pile would be awesome!
Oh and better quality video as in better resolution to see rock details on site is always a bonus but don't stress over getting all UA-cam-Y with production tricks etc... your content is 💯 real. That's rare.... the Zelda vibe is all good 😉
I think having two seperate for the rubies and kianite (don't know how to spell it) would be really cool. There are definitely some businesses deals that could be made from that. I'm planning on going in a few weeks so it would be cool to see that.
It’s Kyanite 🙃 it’s one of my favorite crystals! I would absolutely love to dig in a pile to find them!
@@alyssatorres5897 ohh cool! Thanks!
Superb work
They should definitely have a Kyanite pile! They look so cool and I'm sure people would love to find some for themselves.
I am in Nc and U am excited too! I am so going there!!!
Nice finds! I should make another trip over to Franklin. I only live 100 miles away.............
Maybe sometime you should try the Sapphire mine in Montana.
my birthstone! I want to visit the mine next time I go east
MAKE TWO PILES!!!
A second pile of kyanite dirt sounds amazing!!!
Definitely put another pile down there. Great video as always!
Keep on sweating!
Yep. I'm all over the kyanite, if it's available. Two piles sounds good to me!
Oh yes!! Bring out the Kyanite dump piles!!! I plan on taking g a trip out this summer if possible??🤞 hope to sift thru some great dirt🤗
✌💜💎💫
Love your videos! I would like to visit the US one day to see these gems for myself.
Can I please come with you sometime? LOL. Thanks for giving me the bug. I love rhodolite and Kyanite. Thinking this will definitely be a planned vacation for me here soon. Great find.
Woow wonderful thanks sir
love your videos my dude! the stoke is real!
Love the kyanite! So pretty!
I have subscribed and have watched all of your videos!! I'm 26 and grew up playing Zelda and Mario games.. every time I hear one of ur intros with those theme songs all I want to do is either go mining or play an old school game! You and your videos are amazing!! I wish you could pick subscribers to come mine with you it would be a dream come true. Keep it up man!! LOVE IT...WHAAAT!
Whaaaaaaat💎⚒💜🙌💎
"WHAT!!!" I like that.
I love your channel! I hope to go for a dig sometime soon, it just can't happen right away because I live in Florida and there aren't many very good dig sites here :( I hope to go to JXR hopefully (fingers crossed!) its an 8 hr drive for me but I think I could make it happen😁
Yes, JXR is an awesome spot for amethyst!
Nice Ruby amizzing
I want to get to these places. And yes, the kyanite. How awesome.
Whaaaaaaaat, simply you are a very good man
Ah My home state...That’s why I love NC Beautiful absolutely beautiful
Definitely, kyanite dirt piles!💙💙💙
i’d like to see what you do with all your finds after you get them all cleaned up. polishing and selling and whatnot
So cool!
Being able to pan for some of that beautiful Kyanite would be so great!
wow i was looking up open mines and i found this place yesterday and i hope em and my family can go next summer
Have you cut and polished these yet? I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to see them! 🤩
It's Beautiful !!!!!
Perfect Stones And vídeo.
Are the rubies gem quality? Can't wait to see the ruby after you polish it. Truly wonderfully colored garnets. I have a small collection of red garnets from Wrangell Alaska. None are gem quality but I find them delightful.
Some could be but most hazy
Oh if only he would let me bring my chisels. I would drive down from Toronto Canada in a heartbeat! Wowwwww!
I would love for Brian. To love and reply to this comment... I love your vids brian. Cant wait to meet you and shake your hand one day. Have a great weekend.
Yes! Cool you would enjoy this location! Get in on one it my public digs, have them all over the nation sporadically 🙌💎
Yes!!!!! Do 2 seperate piles some people might specifically want to hunt kyanite soooo pretty
I am gonna start my adventures in NC! \m/
