Desert Rose crystals are formed from gypsum in sand. As the liquified gypsum hardens, the minerals create crystal petals which adds up to a beautiful rose-like structure.
You can only find desert rose crystals in very specific geological zones, which I show you how to find in this video.
I also show you the techniques to extract the delicate rose crystals without breaking them.
If you would like directions to this dig site, all you have to do is sign up for my awesome wilderness adventure newsletter at www.RusticSkills.com/newsletter.
Respond to the first email you get, and I will send you a PDF report on how to exactly get to the dig site that I show you in this video.
They all cleaned up so beautiful at the end. Very nice display.
Thank you!!!!
Listening to you talk is so calming. Great video!
Thank you!!! I am glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm a rock hound, I'm 68, and recently retired, would love to visit there as my days are numbered. Bucket list.
Gotta make it happen! Its never too late to start
Loving your videos, I’ve just come across your channel and I can’t get enough of. I’ve learned so much info in the past two days that my brain is swimming in rocks, minerals and maps. Thank you so much, this has put a new perspective on rock hounding for me!
Awesome! I am so glad you are enjoying my content! Been busy on the homestead here, but getting back in the saddle for new videos. Check out my newsletter on my website rusticskills.com if you are interested!
Enjoyed this one! It looks pretty there in the desert. And you found some lovely crystals and roses. 😊
Thank you! It was a perfect bluebird day, in the mid 60s. Couldn't ask for better rockhounding weather!
Just found your video and will definitely watch more. Don’t bother even giving those naysayers any mind. I zone out too when listening to the rocks singing and calling to me.
I agree I completely get in the zone and its wonderful. I don't let the naysayers hold me back!
That looks like great fun!
I’m signed up for the newsletter and subscribed 👍 Thanks for sharing. Your passion for Rockhounding shows! Yes, I Would love directions to that ares! 💚
Welcome aboard! I hope you like the newsletter, and yes this is my complete life passion I am obsessed with rocks! I am still working on the map, will be sending out in a few days.
Nice selenite roses!
Thank you!
I love what I saw. My daughter who is 4 has already found some apache tears in the front yard here in Phoenix and a a large chunk of quartz crystals and some smaller fragments from the same stones. I've been looking at the floor picking up random rocks that caught my eye my whole life but never anything as interesting as what she found. I stumbled on your video looking up the history of apache tears and I liked your video and your great personality and enthusiasm while digging. Keep it up!
Thank you so much! Check out my Apache Tears video, I give you the location to an AWESOME Apache Tears deposit very close to Phoenix!
Very awesome 😎 thank you for sharing the fun.
Glad you enjoyed it! I am going to the gem show this weekend, so excited!
@@RusticSkills I couldn’t make the Tucson gem show and was bummed. Is it in Arizona? If so, I didn’t know there was going to be one. I’m up by Wickenberg for this weekend. I hope you have fun. 😊
It was AWESOME, so many great stones to see! I did spot a couple of fakes, and I am making a video where I will be calling out on these people. Overall, there were AMAZING specimens, it is a must see! And yes it is in Tucson AZ, video coming up soon!
@@RusticSkills outstanding thank you. 😊 “Katie did rocks” was there and she briefly showed the fakes. But didn’t go into much detail. Not trying to sound frustrated cause by no means was I frustrated cause at least she said “these are fake” her focus was on all the pretty rocks. H you’re so awesome 👏🏻 it’s awesome you’re knowing your followers and knowing what we want to see. And what we enjoy seeing. Thank you.
I am making a couple of videos relating to the gem show, one will be the ultimate guide, that is (hopefully) releasing Monday. Then I have a video about the miners and rockhounders, I did some interviews. Then there will be "the best of" highlights video. These will all release over the next several months as editing is a pain in the a**!!!!!

@RusticSkills not too bad. Winter slows it down a bit

@@RusticSkills lol
Beautiful finds
Love your videos, ive found a few desert roses at my grandma's place in Oklahoma. It was exciting to say .
I am glad you are enjoying my videos! They really are fun to find. I am definitely going back for more!
New to the channel, love the video. Very in depth!✌️
Glad you enjoyed it and welcome aboard!
Black tailed jackrabbit skull 👍
Really?? Freaking awesome!
An FYI
Totally illegal to have or take. Even feathers. If the bones are kept from an animal you hunted, you have the permit from getting drawn to hunt, otherwise totally not allowed ! Cactus included dead or alive! Crazy huh!
Also, rocks and minerals have a certain weight allowance per location!
Depending on State Trust land, BLM, or Park/Forest areas. Private land a diff. Ball game with it's own rules!
Just thought I'd fill ya in a bit, so you consider before posting😅
you can call me Debbie Downer, but hopefully I got to you, before the law did!
May need to do a bit of research on it, just to protect yourself !
Just a heads up! Ok 😮
@@10thstjeep I dont think a rabbit skull is illegal unless its an endangered rabbit, or special status. Raptor feathers are technically illegal, yes
Really? The jackrabbit? Is it for the actual species you are talking about? I have only heard of eagle and maybe hawk being illegal to collect. Sorry to say, but I think you may have your information wrong!
Looks like a fox skull
It does! But I think it is a jackrabbit skull, due to the molars 🤔

@@RusticSkills
thank you! A girl needs some good boots out here!
Tell me about it!
Saint David has been trying to close the area off! You're help isn't appreciated
First, this is public lands, I am allowed to enjoy them. Second, the people of Saint David should stand up for their public lands and not allow them to close off this area -or- Saint David should make this into an official digsite, which many local governments have done for their constituents. Third, I don't appreciate you scolding me on exercising my 2nd amendment rights of free speech, and exercising my right to use our public lands. I encourage people to get outdoors, be active, and enjoy access to our vast public land system. If we don't stand up to this kind of stuff, we won't have anything left. Merica! ❤️🤍💙
@@RusticSkills 😂🤣😂 they are tied of all the people that's been swarming the are do to dimwits that share these places on social media. There are a ton of people that don't give 2 shits about taking care of our lands. A lot of them can't find their own ass with both hands but you're so willing to show them how! Social media is destructive!
Lol encouraging people to enjoy their public lands and the great outdoors does not make me destructive. You have it all backwards. Also, call me a dimwit when I finish filing my CLAIM on this place, and you won't be able to dig there without my permission. Then we will see who is laughing last!
Love your passion. I will share any spots i have if you're ever interested 🤙
Cool! You can email me, I saw that you joined the newsletter, thanks for subscribing!
