I went in 2018. Temp was 100 plus. Totally by myself. Didn't know where, or what to look for. Climbed around on great sandy tilted slippery slabs. Heat was so extreme that I worried that I might have a problem and could die. Never saw anyone, finally gave up, but saw a glint in the road on the way out. Backed up and found a tiny topaz. Yea. I wasn't skunked. Would like to go again, but not alone. That was stupid. Happy hunting.

I went there as a scout and still have some of the crystals. I had no clue there was red burl out there. Going to have to go look for that. Definitely on my bucket list

Beautiful crystals. Good job. Can't wait to see the cleane up.😊

Super finds. That would be exciting. You should make the big one Dan found into a pendant, it's awesome. Thanks for sharing the fun and exciting adventure.

Wife and I were there at the beginning of August. It is one of our favorite rockhounding areas.

Elley exciting adventure enjoyed your enthusiasm in the video can’t wait next post thank you for sharing

I think what you thought was tourmaline is maybe psudobrookite and what you thought was galena is probably bixbyite

Can confirm. Local rockhounder here. Black blades are pseudobrookite and cubic black metallic ones are bixbyite.

Awesome you had such a great time and found wonderful pieces!

Always enjoy your adventures.NM here I come! Always wanted to find some red beryl!!

Thats awesome we were there around the same time i remember the maroon pickup that was camping. I did a video for my channal on Topaz mnt. Congrats on the Red beryl and the amazing topaz. i live close to Topaz mnt so i go out there alot.

Can you find facet grade red beryl that way? The champagne topaz there fades to clear, but they have a spot around there, where some of the topaz turns to pink when you put it in the sun. Can you tell me more about the garnets? You did not seem to find any, but you mentioned them. What kind of garnets? And are they facet grade? I would love to go there. Great video.

Flip, yeah, you guys have all the fun!!!!

Love going with you guys vicariously through the lense!

Wow! Great finds. Loved this video.

Hi! I've been there! Topaz is just laying all over the ground! If you dig in the wash out, you should find topaz that has amazing color, since it has not been bleached by the sun. I hope you had an amazing experience like I did

That’s more birthstone. Well the yellow topaz. One of my granddaughters was born birthday(veterans day) 3 years ago. And this year I had another granddaughter born on my birthday 😊 I absolutely hated topaz. But those are beautiful. I’d love to go there one day. Thank you for sharing this adventure.

Saw you on let’s make a deal!!! Had to check out the KZread vids since I love geology! Great finds.

omg, love this video 😊 wish it was longer

Hi Elley, I just saw you on Let’s Make a Deal primetime. So glad you got to mention what you do on the show! I found your cool KZread channel! Just watched this episode first. I look forward to getting caught up and seeing more! Rich 💎

That was amazing, thanks for sharing

I lost my best piece both times I've been to Topaz Mountain, can you believe that? Can't wait to go again.

I was there yesterday and I got 7 red Burl and 30 or so topaz’s

Love the shirt. I am a chemical engineer and what you do IS SO COOL.

Keep dan around. How does one learn about all these wonderful rocks. I have looked at rocks all my life and wondered how they formed and got there. Why they are the color or shape and such. wonderful.

WoW 😳 love it

@Elley Knows Rocks Thanks so much for taking me along on your adventure! There’s no way I could visit places like this because of my bad knees. But because of people like you, I can at least enjoy part of the coolness of it all. I appreciate you! I have a couple questions though. Is there any worth in the topaz that has bleached out? Once a topaz or beryl has been mined, how does one get the rest of the host rock off the crystal without damaging the crystal?

can you find good material on public land that's not claim? I'm going there end of May, and we heard there are lots of claims

you may want to add some dental picks to your bucket, to do some finer digging around your finds

can you use a black light on that

You should review dude. Perfect's mineral videos. I know they came and found red burl here

Sooooo was that a free dig area or was it a claim you have to pay to be there????

2 min 25 seconds, looks like those Mexican hearing alien displays

What kind of rigid saw do you have and what blade? 0:59

You get prettier every time I see you 😁

Cool finds! What state is that in?

How about looking for Jade in Wyoming?

you have a GPS location of the area you could share?

Can you see topaz at night under blacklight?

Hey! "Geologists. Because engineers need heroes, too?" Hmm. Okay. How about, "Rocket scientists. Because geologists need heroes, too? " But actually, when landing on the Moon gets dull, geology is next. Really. Thanks for the videos!

Can anyone go there to hunt for whatever?
