Sometimes they have to switch accents 3 times in one sentence and it sounds weird. But when you go back and listen to each word it is pronounced perfectly in its language of origin.

I can't imagine the face a new opal miner gets whenever he's told by someone who's got 40-years of experience, "You've got just as much a chance at me dawg, good luck g 👍"

I got the rock bug in 2008-2009, starting going down the Appalacians digging for quartz, then looking for smoky quartz and amethyst, then garnets, then pyrite cubes, then emerald/beryl (which the locals call "burl"), then aquamarine (also "burl"), then corundum (ruby/sapphire which the locals call "saffarr") and you just get SUCKED RIGHT IN. Before you know it, you'll be digging up stuff you never even knew to exist before you got into the rockhound hobby. "Oooh, kyanite!" "Wow! Blue fluorite!" "Oooh Elbaite!" Now (15 years later) I still love hunting quartz, beryl, corundum, and anything shiney and pretty, but I'm also on a little bit of a "gold" kick now. Looking for prospecting sites now and when the weather breaks, Ill be out in those ancient mountains looking for treasure. For me, crystals arent "healing" or any new-age bullsh... They're just beautiful miracles created by our Earth, and being the FIRST and ONLY person to ever see their immense beauty as you unearth them for the first time, helping them receive their first photons of sunlight in a hundred million years to reveal a geological miracle.... well, that's just a special experience I cant put into words. Spiritual almost... Go dig! But beware, its hard work! (not that any rockhound minds doing it)

@@sethstatler8480 First, read some local rockhound websites (North Carolina and Virgnia have very active geology club scenes... sounds dorky, but they do) so you know WHERE to start looking, then just get out on the weekends, trek into the woods (where its legal to dig) and start looking for cool rocks. In much of central Virgina and western and central North Carolina, you can dig down to the clay layer and start pulling out quartz crystals if you're in a "hot" area. The fancy stuff (aquamarine, sapphire, garnet etc...) is usually in the mountains... but you can find pyrite and calcite and whatnot in highway road cuts. I mean... its just reading online to learn where things are and then going to find them!

The Sulphur is derived from a natural variation of the Claus Process. The oxidation-reduction production of native Sulphur. The original gas is hydrogen sulphide, which is more deadly than cyanide gas. This is partially burnt to Sulphur dioxide, and this is then reacted with unburnt hydrogen sulphide, they form the auto oxidation production of Sulphur. There are volcanoes where S is produced from volcanoes in Chile, with some of the elevations exceed 17,000 to 18,000 feet. They are now closed, but were operated for almost a hundred years to provide sulphuric acid for the nitrate and copper industries. These guys would knock off and play soccer in the evening at an elevation most people would faint at! The men in Indonesia are still working in between 10,000 and 11,000 feet. You should try climbing the trail next to them!

39:12 I don’t believe that a lot of opal people normally find sells for $1k or more a karot or everyone and their mothers would be polishing rocks in Australia, I think it’s a very small sample size of opal that sells for that price. I feel the opal market is exaggerated a little bit with the TV shows and all that, and also because opal has to be made into a certain kind of jewelry, it’s not a traditional stone that would be set in a ring or necklace like a diamond or a sapphire, so that limits the market even more. I’m not saying opal isn’t beautiful and isn’t expensive I just think there is a small portion of opal that’s top notch and that has been exaggerated a little bit over the years for the sake of TV.
