Been to the Carolina mines a few different times over the years.
I'd recommend this to anyone with a few hours to spare, so just relax and have fun!
How fun that looks.
That huge Ruby specimen would be perfect for carving❤!
I loved every second of this video! Gorgeous crystals + entertaining and informative dialog 😁
😊 thank you!!
There is a GREAT book called 'Gems For The Taking' that I would hope every NC mine carries. Fantastic info and experience in several of the mines.
I have watched other do this before and I bet they miss so much! Some of these are not obvious unless you really know what to look of or can spot through the tough dirt. Really beautiful stuff!!
We will be there on the 14-15. Looking forward to playing in the dirt.
That’s awesome!! Good luck to y’all
I'm going solo at the end of September or beginning of November for a dig somewhere. Thinking Arkansas or somewhere awesome. I'm the only one who enjoys this kind of stuff so it's hard to get anyone to come...anyone reading this intrested ???😁 I promise I'm not weird 🤣
Let’s do this!
Haha love it!! Good luck on your adventures! 🔆

Thanks brother!!
@@CrystalsofArkansas สวยมากๆค่ะ
Enjoyed this video.. was planing a trip this year but closed unfortunately.
Another great video thanks pewdiepie 👍
Thank you!!! Love my pewdiepie brother
Good geological rock and gem specimens if not jewelry quality.
I live in western NC and have purchased jewelry from Mason Mtn Mine but I've not done any gem mining here. I want to... just haven't done so. I knew about the garnets, rubies, and sapphires, but I had no idea there was kyanite in their dirt, too.
Yes they have a separate kyanite deposit and sometimes pieces make it into the pile. Super amazing!
Good to see you still in the game bro...
😁
How do you polish the rubies and cut them for jewelry?
Nice steon very beautiful vidio 🇮🇳🚩
Pewdiepie of arkansas!
Wow beauthfil
PARABÉNS. VOCÊS SÃO O MÁXIMO. ESTOU APRENDENDO MUITO. SEJAM BEM VINDOS AO BRASIL. RECIFE PERNAMBUCO
Da hast du wieder einige tolle Funde gemacht!
Grüsse aus Deutschland!
Danke!! Es hat viel Spaß gemacht!
Just got crystals from you guys
Parabéns por ter conseguido achar este lugar eu também gostaria muito de estar num lugar assim pois eu ia me destrair já era o bastante pra uma idosa até o final da vida Brasil Deus te abençoe
Sapphire is my birthstone
At Mason’s pile, dig around the bottom, cause the heavies fall down. I found a 600 carat sapphire at Cowee!
Congrats!!
That makes a lot of sense.
Seems like there is goodies all up in that pile but to know the little secrets is so helpful! Thanks for sharing.
I love watching these videos and others for rock hounding and prospecting and really want to do this myself, I am just curious on what to do with it once you find it. Gold is one thing, but raw minerals like those rubies or garnets or anything else you would find I just wouldn’t know what to do with it.
This location offers to make jewelry with the high quality finds.
Otherwise they can be used for decoration or meditation.
Can you polish these pieces to bring out the bright colors? Or are they not translucent on the inside? OH! Now I see the jewelry at the end...Hope to get there for sure some day...
The folks at the shop are super nice and can help you with lapidary questions and requests
Awesome footage! ❤️
Thank you!
N.C. seems like tons of fun for diggers
It really is an awesome rockhound state and also very beautiful scenery
@@CrystalsofArkansas sounds like a plan :)
Try going to dig Montana sapphires.
I would not know what to look for or what I am doing. All I see is rocks but they are just rocks...they have great value. Wish to learn one day❤
Rock on!
Can somebody give me an idea about how much are these amazing things sell for
YaaaaaaaaaY!
Are any of these cut able
The larger rhodolite garnet makes excellent cutting material.
Is it just me or he looks a lil bit like pewdie pie
Hi I'm New friend very beautiful
So there is no "salting" going on here at the mine?
Not in the native dirt from what I was told. They do offer salted buckets and sometimes it mixes in a little but they can identify on site and let you know.
My fam lives in nc ill have to visit this wen i visit
It’s a great spot!! Highly recommend it
Hello it is me the member me from Little Rock I was the one who bought the crystal
Hi I found some stones in forest near my village can you tell me what they are please I can send pics
👏👏❤️
🇵🇷🤲🇨🇺DIOS ESBUENO TANTABELLESAS QUE A ECHO🇨🇺🤲🇵🇷
Where is this
North Carolina near Franklin
Can I go there and get my gem stones for me? How much does it cost?
Yes this location is open to the public for mining your own gems.
You can also purchase beautiful crystals at their store.
Check out their website (link in description) for more information on pricing etc.
I could have some information for you the Matterhorn montazoomas gold the Aztecs lost gold
👍 👍👍👍 " ❤ Rudy's ❤ " 👍👍👍👍. It's my birth 💎gem stone.
Do you mean, ruby
Lol yes I do.
I hope to see your beautiful soul tonight in our neck of the woods. Event going on in downtown! Don't trip if I ask you for a hug and or picture 😻💗🖐️
Which event are you referring to? ☺️
@@CrystalsofArkansas downtown HS AR?!?! Please say you have a booth.
I don’t. What is the event?
@@CrystalsofArkansas Big Steam Blues & Roots Music Festival
We got rained out brother.
Bet all that is a lot of money!
The rhodolite especially can be very valuable indeed!
Where is your next mining area?
I’ll stay in Arkansas for most of next season.
What about you?
Your assistant is awesome, too! Good job, Jennifer!!!
😚
YES she’s the best! 💚💛❤️
We take turns being each other’s assistants. She’s an amazing rockhound.
@@CrystalsofArkansas 😘
👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤
Amo seu trabalho, é você o faz bem demais. Sinto na pelo q nasceu p isto. 😍abraço amigo lindo do ❤🤝🏼
That rhodolite garnet is $150 per carat 🤯
Holy cow, I wasn’t quite aware of that.
It’s a great spot to find larger pieces. They need to be fracture-free though to be cutting grade.
Umm if that was a purple ruby you just found about $3,500 in one stone after it’s cut
Bud i am from holla3
Those are some cool finds, but people should know that most of those rocks and minerals didn't come from NC. They call it "native dirt" or "soil" because the only thing that is native to the area, in those piles, is the dirt/soil... Some of the quartz and garnets might be from the area, but all the corundum (ruby and sapphire) and kyanite is likely imported into the country and salted into the dirt piles.
There are places where you can find NC ruby, sapphire, garnets, kyanite, tourmaline, and more... but this isn't the place. Major tourist trap.
Do you know what mines don’t have salted dirt in NC? We are taking a trip and I would love to go to some!
When did PewDiePie start playing Minecraft IRL?

You’ve got a great style and make an excellent teacher it was a pleasure to go along with you on this expedition...would absolutely love ❤️ LOVE to dig with you and your team someday.
May Your Blessings Be Multiplied 🙏🏼 Exponentially.
Thank you so much for the love! 🙌💛
สวยจังเลยค่ะ
@@CrystalsofArkansas สวยสุดๆค่ชสวยสุดๆค่ะ
Salted
The fucking infinity stones
Hi neighbor! I have the same interest as you and I am starting a rockhounding
club if you are interested or your followers are there will be camping
cooking and amazing places to
Explore it's just uber
Native dirt 😂
Ther worth nothing tho I found one shaped like a perfect purple crystal thought I found money was told it was worth 600 bucks I kept it and maid a chain pendant for my daughter but I won't dig anymore not worth the time
It’s not so much about the money, more about the experience. The ryolite garnet can be quite valuable.
The thumbnail isn't very realistic... Yes without a doubt people find a lovely gem stone there... The amount of time and people picking through the gravel is way more than the genuine diamonds that we have heard who are finding something valuable...
Clickbait 🤣
The crystals are actually from still images of the video and just enlarged 😉
Please tell me im not the only one who thinks this guy looks like pewdiepie
You are definitely not the only one 😂
I have never seen such a poor photo shopped picture to get people to watch a video. Rubies & Sapphires rarely come in large sizes as you display. If they did they would start becoming worthless, but pretty gems.
Right? Clickbait lol. These are actually all the authentic gems from the videos (cropped from still images and enlarged), so somewhat authentic. Gotta play the CZcams game haha
Thanks for watching!
Y’all seriously need to stop the photoshop bs, it hurts your videos!
Thanks for the feedback. It just looked boring without the added color haha
How do you polish the rubies and cut them for jewelry?
Look up lapidary. Polishes and cuts gems.
