I just happened to catch this. So glad i did! I have two little boy's that are Autistic. One is non verbal. Both are d.h.r. placed with me. They love crystals, artifacts, arrowheads. They loved watching you! They collect crystal's from far and wide. We hope to see much more of you. They love exploring and hunting artifacts. Sadly i must be extremely cautious about where i take them as they have no fear or sense of danger which makes it very dangerous on outings.

DMI, I like your straight forward narrative. Yep, I am entranced by the quartz's natural shapes and their transparency, which is akin to Diamonds of the first water. (Old reference to the finest color and clarity of the early found Diamonds during the era pre-the Zimbabwe appellation of Rhodesia.) I spent 10 years digging in my Diamond mine (actually a huge volcanic- earthen-mound...abundant with quartz crystals.) T'was a sweet period of my now aged life.

Very cool spot✅ Thanks for taking us along 👍👍👍👍👍👍
