- Well Friends I made it back out to Salt Lake City Utah and found some Amazing selenite crystals in the Great Salt Lake.
This is a free to dig spot , just make sure to fill in your holes when you are done Please and Thank you. Also I apologize for the shaky camera work in spots its a very hard area to video in due to being so darn dirty

i dont know why anyone would want to dig there.... toxic dirt ! that's a main reason they dont want it drying up . look it up...
For people who don't know the Great salt lake has lead Mercury and arsenic in the soil. That's why there was such a concern when it was starting to dry up because that soil could be kicked up into the air and if you know salt lake City it's kind of like in a bowl, so the air kind of just sits in the slc area. And if all that dust gets kicked up in the air it could poison 2.5 million people.
Those were amazing selenite crystals! In that short amount of time, you managed to pull out all those from one hole? Amazing! Those are so cool! Thanks for taking us along on your journey! Thanks Jeff!
Wow! That looks like an icky job but those crystals are much larger than I expected. Thanks for sharing ❤
Dude. Noggin cam. Get a GoPro to attach to your hat. It will always be looking in the direction that you are, and you'll have both of your hands free.
Very cool! Ive never heard of these crystals, and it's fascinating that they will fall apart if you wash them off right away. I'm guessing that might be due to the chemistry, including the salt, needing to stabilize first, when exposed to air?
The dry lake is as poisenios as the salton see.
I didn't even know there was such a thing under the salt beds, are there any in the flats where they break speed records? Bonneville? Can you pick them?😂
Hi Jeff, I'm looking forward to your Royal Peacock Opal mine video. I was your Oregon neighbor.
UA-cam altered my subbing your channel. It left me subscribed, but took away the 'ALL' part of it. [I fixed it on mine.]
I’m surprised you can dig there! As long as everyone leaves the area at it was, I see no problem. How cool!!
Winamucka! Hehehe! Love Rockhounds!
..awesome.. new subscriber here.. moving to (Logan) Utah 12 years ago, has GREATLY "peaked" my interest in geology.. As an "over the road" tractor-trailer driver, I get to see many areas of "geologic wonder".. I see "gold" everywhere I look out west.. hahahaha.. especially the Sierra Nevadas.. Some places I'm sure you've been..
Beautiful !! Thanks for sharing !!!!
Teasing us with the garnets I see. Man, those selenite crystals sure are pretty. We'll have to give that a go next time we get to Utah.
Love those things. I really need to get up there and dig some one of these days. I didn’t know that about letting them dry before cleaning them. That’s good to know.
Those are beautiful wow
I would love to join you and find Crystals, next time you're back in The Salt Lake area 🙏♥️
Thank you
The selenite from that site stands out so well because of that unique hexagonal lens shape. I wasn't aware that they phosphoresced though. I'm going to have to check that out.
