    I used to live near there. Been there more times than I can say. Just an FYI, the entire area can be rock hounded all through the valley up to Temecula. Stop at road cuts and any of the dozens of dry creek beds up all those canyons. Before all the houses and winery's covered the area, you could just walk through the sand and brush and pick up museum quality minerals everywhere. Pala mine is a fantastic place. My family has pulled massive green and pink T from there.

    Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: You motivate me to keep taking care of myself and keep up with my physical therapy regimen. I dream of being able to crystal hunt with you Bryan. If not in this life... I'll catch you in the " big mines in the sky"! Till then ...I'll be in your knapsack in spirit as I enjoy the beautiful places you and your mighty pebble pup Matrix take me. Blessings upon our journeys together ❤️!

    "Hi there! I just watched your video about exploring hidden gemstones in California, and I must say, I am so intrigued! I never knew that California was home to such a diverse array of gemstones, and the way you described each one made me feel like I was right there discovering them alongside you.

    have you heard of paraiba tourmaline? those blue decay you were looking at look like they had a copper vein too which means it woulda been paraiba! that electric paraiba blue tourmaline is some of the most valuable stuff on the planet!!! its named paraiba after the town in brazil it was discoverd in. wish you coulda asked them if they had found blue copper bearing paraiba tourma in there!! Ive always wanted to go to oceanview but I dont like how they give you a dump truck of stuff to look through. id rather go in the mine and waive my liability! lol

    • @DrachenGothik666
      @DrachenGothik666 Рік тому

      Two main reasons: environmental (mountain-top removal is hell on the ecology of the area and I don't think it's allowed in California), and the seams with the best crystals don't always start at the surface. They meander with the "folds" of tectonic action. It's not a mountain made of pretty rocks--they grow in lines, zig-zags and pockets through the bedrock.
