Very cool specimens I love the flouresence. Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your videos. Very entertaining and educational.

Well you did it again smiler, you make me jealous every time, you certainly have the nose for it, a real rockhound, finding rocks and crystals everywhere. How is Daisy now, have you had to put a tee shirt on her ? I know how how my jealousy can be cured, I will move into your log shed.LOL

Very enjoyable indeed....☺

Nice finds. Next time I drive through this area I'm stopping to take a look. Have passed this area by too many times as a passenger. :

The whole area has potential for interesting minerals. I tried to take a video last time I was up and finding tremolite and amazonite, but I have to return for better footage.

That was an adventure and really cool with using a blackout light. Thank for great experience with you, missed seeing Little Miss Daisy in that one.

Daisy was in the truck. I don't like letting her out on the side of a highway. Right afterwards, I took her to a river for a swim, so I think she forgave me...

Lol Tess we like your vids keep them coming

Nice I wished I lived closer to places like that

As usual another dandy vid. Thanks! Havagudun.

I just learned, that an Irish Hug is defined in the Urban Dictionary as: giving someone a black eye. LOL Merry Christmas.

I did not expect to spend as much time as I did at this spot. It is not acknowledged in any records that I could find. The fluorescents were a huge bonus. Thanks.

What type of fluorescent light are you using, a hand held flashlight black light ? Is one better than another or all of them the same? I have a small hand held black light and the only rock I have, of which there are thousands, are ruby and sapphire rough.

I had a cheap long wave (black light) for a long while and have since bought an (expensive) called Way too Cool. It does short, med and long wave. I am not an expert on UV lights, but have learned that you want one that will do short wave for sure and probably med as well. If you are collecting rocks, get one that will light up the ground when you are standing, so you don't have to be bent over all the time. As with anything, you get what you pay for...

meMiner , thanks for this info., and for responding. I'll look for one similar to yours for sure. Looking forward to your next video. Loved the piece you did for your wife, by the way. 😊

Thanks Lizzy. This is the perfect time of year to collect here - no bugs. The window of opportunity is short because soon there will be snow. That will slow down my adventures somewhat until spring.

Smokey Quartz needs some kind of a radiation source to give it it's color. Could it be that the lead in the area is derived from decayed Uranium or Thorium?

I don't mind the spiders, but dislike hitting their webs with my face when walking in the forest in the morning.

I was wondering why it is that while some Calcite specimens were fluorescent and some were not ? as well as what would cause the crumbling effect to much of the road cut ?

In Central Park? A whole different kind and meaning to rock and crystal, I suspect.

I'd be like a kid in a candy store if I were set loose in that location!

The whole area for miles in 3 directions is highly mineralized. Wonderful place to rockhound.

Next time I see a riddgeline stopped by a rock cut I will stop and say hi. It seems we travel many of the same roads.
