Even when you don't find much, it's still great to get out into the wilderness. Although, that garnet was a nice find, just need to follow it to the source. It's either an almandine or grossular. If you ever want to visit some mineral collecting places in So. Cal. I'm always happy to take people.
Been watching some of these guys videos and I am this close to going crevicing!
Nice man! What are some of your good finds in the so cal area? @derekrichardson took me to an awesome spot for pink/purple corundum!
Topaz, beryl(aquamarine, morganite), amazonite, smoky quartz, garnets, a lot of minerals!
Yes, I know the spot Derek took you too because I took him there. Right now I am prospecting for a spot in the San Jacinto mtn. that produces up to 2' long corundum crystals. These are some pieces I found last week.
Then I shot over to the California Blue Mine and found a bunch of aqua.
There is still a lot of material out there, including gold, you just have to find it!
That’s amazing! Nice work! Yeah, would be cool to join you on a trip out somewhere!
