    Sparkle, sparkle everywhere. I loved Alexa's crystal manufacturing pouch. She just kept pulling them out. I liked them prepped and not prepped. What was the host rock? Woof to the doggies. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒ 🤠

    Those mountains are absolutely breathtaking. I’ve never seen mountains or the ocean except on television or online.
    Someday I will be blessed to see them in person. I’m sure i will cry like a big ole baby! 🤓♥️

    Those are so beautiful. I love them. Those would be so cool to go hunt for. I would never be able to climb like you do to find them. The dogs are nice to see out having fun too. I love when they get in your space. Too funny. I will have to find their Instagram page now.

    What an awesome hunt! Those Montana diamonds are cool! Really neat small smokey quarts crystals! That faceted one is very nice! And again I am very jealous that you can just drive somewhere near you and get all this great stuff!😥 I hope you do a video where you prep a whole piece to show what is actually hidden inside! Thanks for sharing!

    Love all the quartz crystals. The Montana diamonds look like dirty versions of the Herkimer diamonds here in New York that I've been hunting yearly in the lower Adirondack mts. Love all the rocks you have in Montana though. So much color and beauty in the geology everywhere you go in your videos.

  • @Tealtra

    I would think a small sand blaster would clan those crystals 🔮 right up to a lovely finish. Dimond pads on your wheel would allow you to polish up your crystals 🔮 to a shimmering finish.

    Hey Dante, don't lick rocks. I was liking the feldspar crystals on the prepped pieces almost as much as the quartz. Cubic crystals are like seashells. You should like them.

      Yessir! We make a point to go up there at least once a year😄 ill probably be h3aded back in a month or so once the mountains are thawed more. Definitely a lot of amazing geology in those mountains and id love to do some more exploring! We have not actually ever been down to the ghost town but we always want to; we'll have to head down and check it out when we go back next😄
