Unboxing an unbelievable box of amethyst clusters and points from the Kingston range in California, this box was gifted to us by rockhound treasurehunt
You're very welcome, Jesse!! I'm just happy you love it. You know, it's funny you mention how much I must have to be able to give away so much sweet material. Well, I guess I do have a lot. Lol.. I think I realized it once I had your box packed and I couldnt tell that anytimg was missing from my oversized display. But I love sharing with cool people so you're very welcome! I really love the big chunks of the amethyst vein like the one I sent you. They just look so amazing and it also takes such an amazing shine if you polish it using the diamond pads. I definitely had to get you a big chunk like this to check out. Anytime you make it to Vegas, I'd be happy show you the area this material came from. You'd be like a kid in the candy store. I know I am every time. Right now I'm a little sad though. It's almost 100 degrees out there right now. The material I received from you is amazing as well and very much appreciated!! RockOn!!!
Yeah, we would love to get out west sometime, we have a lot of pets that make it difficult to get away from here for much longer than a day trip, but we’re looking into getting a van soon though so that would make it easier to travel with dogs, we’re shooting for Arkansas for our next big trip, trying to get to Pennsylvania too this year, so hopefully we can make it west sometime in the next couple of years, this whole trade thing has been great, & I’m glad I finally gave in & got a smart phone a few years back & got this CZcams channel going, it’s definitely opened up a whole new world of rockhounding opportunities for us, thanks so much for doing this man
Chris is literally drowning in amethyst! Lol! Such a wonderful box! Those points are amazing! He is literally addicted to the Kingston Range! Purple gold! Chris is an amazing Rockhound and person! He is very generous too! What an amazing gift! I can't wait to see the rock trade videos! Those were some beautiful purple gold clusters! Thanks for sharing Jesse!
Thanks for watching Lisa. & this was incredibly generous of him, we haven’t hit a big pocket of amethyst yet in South Carolina, we find a little bit here and there, he’s definitely lucky to have so many great spots to rockhound out his way, we did an awesome trade & he must have been a Tetris champion back in the day judging by the way he packed the rocks in that box 👍✌️
Oh yes, it was a surprise box too so we were definitely blown away by all of the beautiful amethyst & his generosity. We also did a trade box with some really awesome stuff in it too. Thanks for watching 🙏
What a great thing to get in the mail!!! I have had friends send me rocks over the years and I also OCCASIONALLY will buy on Ebay - and YES, opening boxes of rocks is so FUN!!! Do you remember (I am dating myself here...) the Charlie Brown Halloween show where everyone says what they got for Halloween, and Charlie, all sad, says "I got a ROCK." That would have been my favorite Halloween ever! Anyway, thanks for sharing it with us. I feel that way in my channel too - the most fun part about the rock hobby is being able to and having someone to share it with. Awesome watch. If you see anything of mine that interests you, maybe we can trade too! There are a few things that I have a lot of and could spread the joy a bit with.
Heck yeah, I do a good bit of trading, I do need to get out & do some rockhounding to restock my trade stuff, but I saw a similar meme where someone got a lump of coal in their stocking & got all excited to put it on their display shelf, but I will get in touch with you sometime in the future about a trade
@@diggingappalachia954 yeah he has some family things going on right now that's been keeping him from having people come out. I told Lauren as soon as he gets back at it I'm ready to go back!
Yeah, he’s incredibly lucky to have the spots that he does, we find alot of quartz in the area of South Carolina we’re in but amethyst is way harder to come across, even at Diamond hill it’s tough, some folks find it all the time there though, if you’re ever in the upstate hit us up, we’ll try to get you some good crystals
You're very welcome, Jesse!!

Man I would love to get out there with him! Great stuff!
No doubt, I would love to just hike out & see this place, getting to dig around & find all that purple would be amazing
Hi friend. Nice clusters
@@puliendopiedrasdecostarica thanks 🙏
Nice Amethyst clusters! Kinda looks like some of the Amethyst we got from the Reedy Mine!
@@ScottandLauren I thought so too, I hope that we get to go there sometime, it doesn’t seem like they have had anything going on since you guys went
@@diggingappalachia954 yeah he has some family things going on right now that's been keeping him from having people come out. I told Lauren as soon as he gets back at it I'm ready to go back!
@@ScottandLauren let us know if you hear anything, I’d love to go
Lucky. I haven’t ever found a regular crystal other than inside geodes and no amethyst.
Yeah, he’s incredibly lucky to have the spots that he does, we find alot of quartz in the area of South Carolina we’re in but amethyst is way harder to come across, even at Diamond hill it’s tough, some folks find it all the time there though, if you’re ever in the upstate hit us up, we’ll try to get you some good crystals
Very nice I swear I seen some of this stuff b4
I’d be digging into it 👍✌️
@@diggingappalachia954 clean it up it will look way better
Use iron out to clean it
