(HUGE) Apatite Crystals Found At The Miller Property/Smart Mine [A Crystal Prospecting Dream Site]

I go Rockhounding for Apatite Crystals and Amazonite at the world famous Miller Property located just outside of Eganville in Ontario, Canada. This property also contains the Smart Mine and Lost Mine locations as well as an Amazonite occurrence well worth visiting. I was able to expand on the work started by a fellow Rockhound and bust into a virgin cavity full of Apatite Crystals of every shape and size. Join me (Jeff) Off The Beaten Path Crystals in this mineral collecting slash Prospecting adventure while I find the best specimens I have ever found from this site.
Collect, rock hound, explore, dig and hike at your own risk and always seek land owner permission before collecting.

    Hi Jeff, looks like you have hit a great spot with all of those crystals, I can’t even imagine what that is like. Some of those crystal pieces look huge. I hope we get to see a follow up with those crystals cleaned so we get a better look at those colours. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

    Enjoyed your video and subscribed. I got a piece of apatite crystal from the same location, as a gift. Your video gave me an idea of where it was originally located. My rock has some green crystal patches. What is this green thing called? Thanks a lot!

    Hi, I live 3.5 hours away from the Miller property and was wondering when I search smart mine on google maps, is it the same as Miller property?

    Miller Mine, Smart Mine and Last mine. I don't think I ever got the specific spots of them right, They are all in the same general area and I just call the site the Miller Mine.

    Not really a bottle dump, more of a dump from an old tourist restaurant slash gift shop with some farm debris tossed it. Limited pickings but an interesting spot that still needs some more searching.

    They are free, you just have to go dig for them, it's always more rewarding popping the crystal out of the ground yourself.
