Gemstone Hunting, Finding the Money Stone! *Peridot*

WOW! Did we ever find an amazing gemstone! This is my Peridot claim which has produced many facetable Peridot gemstones in the past. Today we have the whole family here looking for the elusive large Olivine crystal known as Peridot. Big enough crystals can be faceted into an actual jewelry grade gemstone. Rock hunting and gem hunting is one of our favorite adventures. Because not only is it a fantastic hobby it can also be profitable if you find the right stone.

    Hello Mr Hurd! I'm a master faceter down in Washington. Try using a tile saw for removal. Hammering like that will create inclusions. Peridot tends to have many inclusions as is and odd shaping that leads to smaller finished gems. 5ct rough will yield a 1 CT cut stone as a general rule regarding peridot. Awesome video and family! Thanks

    That sent shivers down my spine to watch that screwdriver and hammer in action. The best faceting specimens might have been lurking just below the surface, only to be turned to sandpaper grit before being noticed. I think I would have been more prone to slowly pick the fractured junk off the surface with dental picks, at home, not in the field!

    Whoa, does this bring back memories! I found a decent chunk of peridot along the bank of the Thompson River (before it meets the Fraser River, British Columbia) when going along with a friend of mine who was a junior rockhound. He found a big chunk of jade that day too, but he tumbled my peridot into a real nice elongated teardrop and I wore it as a necklace for years till I lost it somehow. We never did find much gold, just a few flecks, but we lucked out on the green stones that day! Seeing this video 30 years later makes me wanna go back again and see what I could find today. ;-) Thanks for the video!

It is my dream to find a peridot but I'm 51 and never even owned a price of birthstone jewelry, now with degenerative disc and arthritis Im out of the game for hunting for or affording the hunt or jewelry. I "sastify" my pretty shiny things by picking my landscape rock and random gravel for agate chert and poor quality quartz.

    If I lived up in BC I would be pouring over geological maps looking for favorable locations for that sweet, sweet nephrite. If you get so lucky as to find a big boulder of gem quality nephrite, then, you know, _gold schmold._ :-)

    Very nice. And I agree with the "twerp" he does need more respect. 😉 Good job kiddo helping your Dad. Maybe a suggestion to catch more of the crystals is is have an old sheet with you to help catch them. Thank you for sharing. All of you stay safe and healthy.

    Hey, Dan, loved the video! That place looks like a rock hound's dream! If the medium sized peridot gems are too small to be faceted, could they be tumbled or smoothed into cabochons?

    I did a search for 'call', which is done by pressing ctrl+f and then typing the word you want to find. There are a lot of comments where people didn't like it. It was kind of off-putting and gauche. As a girl, I would have been hurt by it as a kid, but I don't know their dynamic.

    I think i just fell in love with prospecting because of you, been binge-watching your videos and i loved every single one of them, i like the gem videos more because of the variety it gives and makes me learn something new every time. But when you find a big gold nugget it is golden content as well, cracked me up so much! Keep on digging and greetz from Belgium!

    Question : would it be viable to use the screwdriver not on the gem cluster itself but on the basalt near it? I'll explain my logic, I would aim at removing the whole cluster in big pieces or whole, then one could try dislodging the gemstones with vibration alone (something like an ultrasonic cleaner to give you the idea) and then work on what is left to extract the bigger gems whole. In my mind it seems it could work fine but if you are not being extra careful there must be a reason, is the valueof peridot low enough that it doesn't warrant very fine care? Just curious, your videos always give me weird ideas on how to try and optimize to insane levels what I see you do XD

    As an avid and long time rock hound, your extraction nearly brought me to tears. Don't you have any sense of the substrate? I watched you shatter at least two 6c stones, chasing a 3c on the surface

  • @Danhurd

    4 жыл бұрын

    Well maybe in person things looked a little different than on video. there were no 6c stones there. In fact there was only one good stone in the nest, and I got it. And the basalt here is amazingly hard, we shatter chisels and break hammers frequently here. We have worked this claim (Local Lapidary club) for many years. And we know what we can find and how to actually get the stones we want. If I did find the 10c crystal, I would go about extraction differently. Video can be deceiving sometimes.
