    I demand a recount! I used to get and incredible amount of small to medium garnets from a creek in Ashland, Oregon, USA. They used to fall out in corrugated storm drains that went under the roads. We actually made quite a bit of money selling both sizes to people who made silver jewelry. Never found any really big ones like you find here.

    @Dan what's the largest Garnet you've ever found out in the wild? To expand on this, is there any common large red crystals found in nature? I only ask because garnets always seem so tiny. It's awesome to see how many you tend to find in the right place but it would be nice to see a big red crystal once in a while

The Rock Shed in South Dakota. I don’t know how gemmy it will be, but interesting to say the least. It’s going in my curio cabinet, with the rest of my collection.

    The fact that there is so much smaller Garnets in the river beds makes me wonder if there is any mining in the area for such garnets for industrial applications. Especially given it is actually considered a heavy rare earth element resource.

  • @PreciousOFNature
    @PreciousOFNature 3 місяці тому

    Considering that garnet is collected at the bottom because of its weight, is it possible to extract better and heavier garnets from the depth of the river? I mean to dig deeper and search for its sand. For example, dig half a meter and extract the underlying sand.

    • @noob19087
      @noob19087 3 місяці тому

      Synthetic garnets are used in material science. For example, cerium doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) are used for their fluorescent properties. They can convert blue light into yellow, so if you put a layer with the right thickness of it over a blue LED you can create white LEDs that are really close to natural light (has a broad band white emission rather than just a few peaks.)

      It's what's called a claim. You can buy a claim for a season, and then you and only you (though maybe also your friends) can legally use it and sell the gems as your own. I say legally, but realistically I doubt anyone would care about a kid picking up a few rocks, but technically that would be illegal.
