Thanks for watching y’all!
We may do another public clubhouse dig at this location this year!
Please tell us how much your find was worth $ hey when we're not looking at all that great turquoise you're not bad eye candy, neither is the dog lol
please do! I really want to go!
I have GOT to get in on this next time!
Would like info on how to attend the next dig!? Guess I should say requirements
I have a question about the sweatshirts you sell. One is $30 and one is $40, what is the difference. I see the material its made from is different. Is one more stretchy than the other? I prefer a more stretchy sweatshirt vs a more stiff all cotton. Any help is appreciated!
I dare you to make a perfect candy replica of turquoise, go to a gem show, sit at a stall and eat the turquoise candy while maintaining eye contact with people passing you.
Haha! I so want to see this!
Double Dare you. I love your channel. 💎🍭💗
That sounds like a Pioneer Pauly stunt lol
That would be hilarious
Somebody has to know some confectioners that could do that.
For all asking what stabilizing means: Soft, chalky low grade turquoise material is put under pressure so it will absorb clear epoxy or plastic filler. This will harden and the piece can be cut, polished, and carved. Sorry, no native speaker.
That’s a great explanation🙌
Thank you, I was wondering too
Pretty much all of the turquoise for sale as jewelry is stabilized.

When you turned your back to him he found a path and was down there with you.
Matrix is like I am a 🐐!
🐶🐐 😆

Pretty! Also that hole scared me! Glad everyone found buckets of Turquoise.
Yeah it was pretty wild to tap into that hole,
We love it we were there in 2017 and they were just getting ready to open the claim up!
Can you please explain the stabilization process? Oppsss...posted before the end! Looking forward to part 2!
Yes, it’s pretty neat, will be showing soon! 🙌
I absolutely LOVE turquoise ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗

Beautifull Turqoise 💙💎
That is some really nice color 👌
Matrix reminds me of the dog on "Rick & Morty". He would definitely look kool in a robot suit.
Man that’s awesome
Your Dog's awesome! :'-D
Matrix is the cutest 🥰
💜🐶
When I traveled to AZ from upstate New York, mid 80's I was so focused on Tucson and Quartzite that we somehow bypassed Arkansas. Wow did I blow it.
I did get to dig turquoise in the Twenty Nine Palms area, at Indian quarry sites. I knew about the diamonds and quartz/ Amethyst finds but I had no idea about the turquoise. Thanks for making me so very jealous.
U r amazing brother appreciated your team's... 👏 I'm from india( tamilnadu) i love crystal i don't know here b4 this much of effort u guys are collecting for crystal ❤😇🙏🙌
I love turquoise!
What beautiful colour turquoise is and it will be so interesting to see how it is stabilized so it can be made into jewellery. I chuckled as Matrix made his way doe the pit wall to join you, he is so wonderful and full of character lol. I also laughed at the way he gets up the catapillar track to get to you Bryan, he knows where he wants to be. Now it's my bedtime so goodnight and God bless you all love and hugs to you and Matrix Mary-Ellen UK
Yeah it’s so funny when matrix jumps up on the machines that way, this was a large one, and he was still able to make it up! Yeah I was really surprised with the color of these turquoise especially once washing them off, they just glow
Thank you for your amazing content here, i learn a lot and have much fun. Kisses from Brazil
Thanks for watching ☺️🙌🤙💎
Wow 🤩 that Turquoise is so beautiful ! Whattttt 💜
💎💜🙌

Great video, Bryan! Seeing it makes me wish I had signed up when I had the chance so I could come along. Looking forward to part 2!!
We may be doing another dig this year, stay tuned
Hope to see you in Arkansas in late april
Next time you go there… I gotta go too! For sure!
Turquoise in Arkansas...whaaaaat!
Found your channel by watching Dan hurd's video at the crystal thing with that massive crystal.
Another amazing video! As always, thank you so much for posting this EPIC dig!! Mountain goat 😂🐐🐕
Did Dylan say “or a body” about the mine shaft and what could be down there 😂💀😂💀
Cannot wait for part 2!! 💙💙
Yes he said a body, lol
I would be very interested in seeing a video on the stabilization process 👍🏼 I will be here next time!
Matrix is quite the character 🤣 it wouldn't be a video without Him in it. He's so adorable. The torquois wasn't bad either.✌️😎
👋 🐶
nice b,wish I were there
I live in Arkansas…and I would love to visit you and Matrix for a dig. If there is a possibility to be there….I would be amazed!!!!
I found a tiny piece the other day while looking for apache tears by accident but that is crazy how much there is.
good
👌💥
Linda demais essa pedra parabéns meu amigo tmj like
Great video! I love it when you make videos like this, on different minerals. I did not know they had turquoise in Arkansas. That giant turquoise nugget you showed at the beginning was amazing, I never saw a nugget that big before. Some of the turquoise seemed very low grade, either crumbly, or porous. What % is of higher grade? I am excited about part 2, how much does stabilization cost? Does Avant Mining do it themselves?
Now that Matrix has mining experience, he is taking more of a leadership role, operating the excavator, and supervising the Crystal collector, sending down a pile of rocks, when he starts slacking off.
Yes I seen and have even purchased some cabochons from Avant Mining that have been stabilized and it will blow your mind away, it’s amazing how good they come out after stabilization
I would love to live there..
Hi! Bryan! Matrix & company!! Happy Saturday! enjoying your video! Those are some vibrant stones!
also, I get to work at the Gem Show this year here in Tucson!! as a greeter! so excited!
wooohooo! beautiful stones you are finding! I still need to send you a photo of my rock, so you can tell me what kind it is.
Oh cool, I’m actually coming out to Tucson tomorrow, should arrive Monday
@@TheCrystalCollector Awesome!! I am at My Second buyer show downtown. this wraps up Sunday. First one was at La Paloma. Will you have a stand? or only shopping? I'll look for you, as my gig Will be over! it's been really busy at The GTX. I'm blinded by all the beautiful shiny BRILLANCE!! haunt had a chance to look at everything around me yet!!
I think you need to check out the bigger pieces that you put up on top.Pretty nice stuff, if you want some big pieces. It was like 1 whole chunk but broke up into a few pieces when the bucket dropped the pile.
Yes I think Dylan checked them along with the group. thanks for watching 🙌🙌
I had no idea they mine turquoise in Arkansas!
Sevdigim güzel bir türü👍👍👍🤗
Have you ever made a video about how to stabilize the turquoise? Such beautiful colors!
Matrix - The only reason I watch☺️
I'm in Arkansas! I want to come mine with you!
I have been to a torques mine in New Mexico. Most of the torques there was just chuck. The good torques has long since been mined out. I once went looking for Herkimer diamonds in Herkimer, New York. It seemed like all the good ones were gone there too. These places don't want the general public destroying their mines. If you want a good piece you buy one in their store.
Hey that's my home state! That was something I always wanted to do was go mineral and diamond hunting. Life happened though. I'm old, married, and so on...but you are so cute and funny to watch how excited you get! I love watching your videos! I just was watching the Tucson show and wondered if you had a booth or were there. Will check out your channel to see if you made any content from Tucson.
I’m leaving tomorrow morning to drive out to Tucson, would you at least two videos of the show maybe three, probably put one out next weekend
@@TheCrystalCollector I'll be checking them out. Have fun!
💙💙💙
Would love to find me some of that that is my all time favorite stone I love to dig and find stuff
Question for you Brian @TheCrystalCollector. What are the geological forces that came together to make Arkansas of all places such an epic place for digging amazing crystals and rare minerals like Turquoise and giant quartz? I mean it seems like Arkansas > anywhere else when it comes to rock hounding in the USA? What about the geology there made it such a special place with regards to rare minerals?
Usually it’s just Mountain uplift and things like that, it releases minerals from deep underground and they spew up and crystallize
So great!! What type of turquoise is this.
I never knew turquoise was so powdery. Great video
It can be, this quality like shown is not good.
Omg yet again i am soooooooooo jealous at all the amazing beautiful gems you have the privilage of digging & or just picking up from the ground. I come from New Zealand & we dont have anything like what you are able to get in the USA. If theres any way i could purchase any of the pieces shown on this video or any other gems could you let me no please, i would greatly appreciate it. Im a stone carver & would love the chance 2 carve sum.
i love turquoise
Turquoise in Arkansas! Whaaat LoL!! But seriously! Beautiful stuff!! Is there material from that location that doesn't need to be stabilized?
My Birthstone. You know it’s only jewelers who try to sell those Blue Zircon for December’s birthstone, but it’s really Lapis Lazuli and Turquoise.
Oh cool, mine too!!
I want to go there 👍
Mom passed away January 29, and right now I am planning her funeral. I will get together with you soon ❤️
I was watching Planet Earth II, Mountains episode. I’m supposed to be looking on the goats and other high mountain creatures. Instead, I’m, like, “Wow! What’s that blue (or purple or green, etc,) in the rock in the mountain wall rock. I had to keep going back to see the animals because I was distracted by the geological features. Lol!
I would really really really love to go with y’all . I’m a crystal healer and lover and seriously would work so hard just to be Abel to go to the places with y’all that you get to go to please
I want some!
Found a nice nugget on banks of Cossatet creek once. Located south of Mena. I've heard that there were mines in the area.
Oh wow, that’s awesome!
Mercy......
I want some of that
PEACE
Hello Hope you are doing well. Love , Love your show!!!!😀. I think Matrix should have a turquoise collar seems to be the perfect color for that cute little guy! That would be so beautiful on him!!☺😚😙😗😘😍talk to you later ! Enjoy your day ! You can tell me I'm but if you want I don't mind ! Suzanne Schube bye😁
What a super idea I’m going to have to get one made with the Turquoise we found, thanks so much
@7:37 Me💭: 😍💙 WOW 💙😍
Man, I would love to have a cabochon of that to make jewelry with! Is that more what they mean by sleeping beauty turquoise? The color reminds me a lot of Larimar.
Nice find! Love the dog too lol. Hey on your finds can u tell us how much it was worth $
