I'm glad you can identify these crystals. I would be just gazing at them going "oooooooooooo shiny, neat shapes, neat colors" lol

I often just pick up shiny rocks or rocks with a nice pattern too. ;-)

Interesting and cool locations to explore for rocks & crystals.

I was thinking pudding stone right when you said it, lol. That was surreal. I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking us on your adventures!

Cool road cuts.

Cool conglomerant!

Blueberry’s for the win !!!!!

The second road cut looked like Gowganda Tillite from here.

Very nice! Im glad you checked that sample for gold......good things happen when you least expect it! That day happened to be blueberries 🍻

The blueberries were soooo good. I should have filled some containers rather than stuff them all in my mouth. lol

Be careful climbing around on those ledges!! Great video! :)

Thank you, great adventure!

Be interesting to check your rocks with a Geiger counter.

Make sure to bring your pinpointer for scanning the quartz veins. If you hear something, crush and pan it. You never know! Great vid!

Another cool video from the man😮😅

Quiet, unassuming and passionate about your craft. Such a good recipe for a successful rockhounder's channel. Love your work as usual mate.

Great answer!

Blueberries and bears. Watch out for them.

Geology Norm Macdonald found some crystalssssssss!

That area has certainly undergone a lot of disruption and compaction, as well as mineral influx.

that conglomorate looks like gowgandatillite, i could be wrong tho

I would be interested in learning why most quartz is milky looking vs the big clear crystals. What is the difference in conditions that produce both kinds? I do know that big crystals form very slowly. Keep up the amazing videos and glad to see you seem recovered from your injuries. Your pal in Silicon Valley, Rich.

Actually, they've discovered that if conditions are right, crystals can form in tens or hundreds of years vs thousands or millions

Generally speaking, the difference in between the two is that milky quartz when it deposits traps moisture and gas from the area around it’s structure, leading to the white impurities that you can see. Clear quartz on the other hand is relatively clear from imperfection in the crystal itself.

So, like making ice with tap water vs. bottled water?

Did you go in off hwy 11 by Kenagami? Everytime I drive by Kenagami I'm intrigued by the cuts along the hwy just passed the matachawan turnoff with the small round rocks inbeded into the sedimentary bedrock. Have you stopped at them?

I didn't see any garnet, but there are some known spots nearby (maybe an hour drive)

If you're finding asbestos, the green is most likely a type of serpentinite or serpentine. My guess, anyway.
