really? you are lucky! is it flat and smooth? or egg-shaped? or chunky? and in what colors?

This is fascinating. Thank you!

Now I know why I always bring rocks home from the beach

Yes, there is something about a good rock you just can't shake...!

I agree about quartz. I go beach combing a lot near my home in Cumbria North West England along the Solway Firth coast. I pick stones and glass for making jewellery. I definitely see quartz the most, soothing yellow amber type colours. So beautiful and calming and smooth. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I never knew about the Sun block trick! Great tip!

I love to know other beachcombers appreciate quartz, too. so many take it for granted.

@@dr.beachcomb4221 Is quartz expensive?

When I was young, I love to collect little semi-transparent stones on sand dunes in nearby factories, and I thought they looked like jades, and they must be valuable, so I could be wealthy overnight.

Gorgeous 💗🥰🥰🌊

You have great beaches for stone combing!

Come to Rhode Island. We are loaded with smoky quartz!

Cool video! :) :)

Thank you for this video! I live on Long Island and recently began combing beaches (mainly in the Peconic region and south shore) for stones. It's been very confusing because, as you pointed out in this video, the rocks you find out here are very large and so rounded out by the water I've been confused as to what I've been finding!

Many of the quartz in the opening shot on the right are from Long island. I love, love the quartz eggs I find there. They are so smooth and well-rounded in gorgeous hues.

My hobby is collecting gemstones on land and mountains and I hope to live in Europe in order to achieve my dream of searching for and caring for stones.

I live on CapeCod and the quartz is great on the beaches

I have some similar stones that light bright orange or lava orange and some light yellow under flashlight I love they are absolutely mesmerizing I can't identify what they are tho

My quartz ran away from me. Still waiting for it to turn up one day. I loved my clear quartz. I miss it. I do love your collection.

Mineral oil (like baby oil) will work on the stones without the zinc oxide that gums up the holes.

Yes, you are absolutely right! Zinc oxide only works well on hard, smooth stones that are not pitted or rough.

I live a mile from the Chesapeake Bay- grew up in Virginia beach and I have been collecting beach stones for years I've collected so many. I have only found 1 rose quartz, but have you ever tried tumbling the stones?

@dr.beachcomb4221

Quartz will polish up beautifully in a tumbler. I just don’t like it as much that way. Too shiny for me!

Is there also cherry quartz on the beach?

Nice Q

I live in UK I found a smooth bright orange crystal like stone It's about foggy but one I put it in water it becomes much clearer I cracked it in half to see what looked like definitely crystal of some sort but just trying to learn more about these stone as I've become more and more fascinated by them

I use olive or peanut oil to condition my stones after washing with a toothbrush and liquid dish soap. They come out wonderfully! What say you? Thanks for this informative video. I am a quartz stone collector and i have found these types from deep digs by local areas doing road work ( lots of water underground! )

Tons of stones we find on beaches are quartz - carnelian, jasper, adventurine...(google ‘stones that are quartz’ - you’ll be amazed) - and yes, the black stones you find could be quartz-based - maybe heliotrope or rutile.
