Hunting for California Amethyst Crystals

This winter we camped in the California wilderness and hunted for amethyst crystals. We found a fresh pocket of some beautiful crystal specimen, check out how we did it!

We still have the Reno hallelujah on the 25th ,but we’re gonna come there first🥰 so excited. Hope we’re able to meet up because when we go north, I would like to stop at your rose quartz claim. Hope you will at least give us permission to check it out. ❤

    Was this public or private? I'm looking for public spots to do my first dig in the central and north locations but all I've found through searching is southern California public sites. :/ Are there any that you know of from central up? Or possibly east Nevada? (I know there are a few public dig sites in Nevada but was wondering what you would recommend for a first time traveler.)

I'm in the Bay Area and most of the best spots for any kind of gem seem to be in Southern CA, so if this is closer to me that would be really great. If not, any reccomendations for spots around here?

    It's everywhere. There is so much of this stuff people make ashtrays out of it. What you really want is Gold. It's there too. Those guys are skipping the gold because these crystals are easy to find and less work. You don't know if this amethysts is clear and has inclusions. You can see that it is mostly white with just a little purple in the tips, which is not the high quality type. Look how cloudy it is and look how the color it not uniform. High valued amethyst is clear and one solid deep purple color. And these guys are getting so excited. lol Some Gem experts please let me know if I am wrong about this. If you could make huge profits from this stuff, there would be a mining company protecting the site with fences and guards and be working it 24 hours a day. What did they show at the end of the video? a DJ? Most rockhound videos show a full shot of the days haul. But if you want to spend a day or two looking for these rocks, they are still nice to look at and put on the coffee table. Here are some clues for you... Quartz Hill, Barstow, Panamint Valley, Garlock, Rosamond, Silver Queen Mine, Boron, Ransburg. These are just some parts of North L.A. and West Kern counties that I know personally. There are many more places to get good gems of different kinds all over the World. Join a prospecting club and you will get more information than you can use. They will take you to their claims.
