  • This is a new spot that I have had my eye on for some years. North Carolina has tons of opportunities to dig gems and crystals. This spot was first discovered by me cleaning trash and maintaining a homeowners property line. Over the years I kept picking up the quartz chunks exposed on the surface looking for crystals over the property while doing various jobs. Over the years I have found a few complete crystals on the surface but never enough to ask permission for opportunity to dig a spot. Currently I have a partial torn pectoral muscle that has sidelined me for the past few weeks. I find it very hard to slow down and wait on my arm to get better. It has been a long winter and I have bitting at my finger nails waiting on the warm weather and the thaw in the highest elevations. With property skyrocketing and people choosing to sell land/homes allowed me the opportunity to look a bit deeper into this spot in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Knowing that I had to reclaim the spot after I was done digging and that I have a extremely limited opportunity to see what this quartz vein could hold.
    This video is describes how I came to recognize this spot that produced quartz crystals and from start to success.

    Man, at 5:34 are we just gonna ignore the bright yellow gold-looking stuff cruising along the sulfide deposition in that crystal? :) Looked like juicy quartz, you should get it assayed. Great video, I’m not a NC native but I’ve lived here a long time and it’s more home than home is.

    Hi! I am enjoying your content! Would you ever make one video and describe just how you began your UA-cam channel? I am curious👀🙋🏻‍♀️

    • @HighCountryRocks
      @HighCountryRocks  Рік тому

      I don't think I'm capable of that. I haven't mastered the skill yet. That is such a great idea though for a video. If you're trying to do it feel free to ask any questions and hopefully I can help you.

    Hey bud! I really enjoy all of your content.
    Have you ever been out towards Stanly County? I'm trying to find a place to do some digging.

    • @HighCountryRocks
      @HighCountryRocks  Рік тому +1

      I am not familiar with anything in Stanley Co. Unfortunately. Go to the website Mindat.org then search by county. That would be the first way I would start to find info about an area. It has been very beneficial to my exploring.

      Check out Morrow mountain. Very unique formation.

      I do sell or trade if they are special. It is the fun of the hunt that I enjoy most.

    Are these common around veins?

    • @HighCountryRocks
      @HighCountryRocks  Рік тому

      They can be common if the vein provides enough room for the crystals to grow. There was a gap in this wall rock providing space.
