Been there 4 times with my sons this year going to get one more trip in before I move. Love that place.
11:51 when I find the last green jolly rancher in the bag and it feels as if the green gods have smiled upon me
Matrix as I live and breathe you are the cutest representative of your Dad's channel ever. Thanks for the 🍉watermelon 🍉 tourmaline video.
That tourmaline looks like green kryptonite!!💯❤️
I'm learning a lot from his awesome videos, and I'm going to watch all of them

Man, I have never been because I'm on the East Coast, and I can tell you that you should definitely still go. You gemstones of that quality are very good to have around, it's no different than having silver and gold bars/coins

@@johngallagher9151 I don't live in California anymore but will be visiting and have been planning to go. Last I checked it 75 per day trip. A bit pricey but worth the expense/ experience and taking home some of those minerals would really be exciting! Cheers

The one thing I wish they allowed was free range rockhounging. I understand why they do it this way but it takes most of the fun out of it. My opinion anyhow...

@@-themercyseat yeah, Hogg Mine is better and it has some Cat's Eye aquamarine and other beryl colors there too. And Star rose quartz. I do like Tourmaline though so I still want to go, I want to go find some green in Maine, too
Those are awesome tourmaline crystals, love the watermelon one and the long green sticks. Amazing colours whaat
Lol, Making Matrix talk was a nice touch 👌
That talking dog will follow me in my nightmares
Man, I'm so jealous. Watermelon tourmaline is at the top of my list to find one day. That looked like so much fun. 🌼
Wow what you had this morning👩❤️👨🐈🦋
Everyone's saying it now- "WHAAAAT??" XD Love it!!
Whaaaaaat! I want those tourmalines I like it
I have a tumbled quartz with pink tourmaline and lepidolite inclusions in it, the pink and purple mottling is just lovely.
It makes me happy seeing you enjoy gods creations :) rocks and crystals are certainly beautiful. The simple things in life are the most enjoyable. Its awesome seeing how this makes you excited
I went to Pala once and was told by the owners to not fall in love with the purple rocks. For so long I didn't know it was lepidolote!! I took home a big chunk of it with pink tourmalines in it. Whaaaaaat!?!
Tourmaline is so good, wish I had more in my collection
Dude you keep folks so interested and inspired you could put a vid out everyday and people would be waiting with baited breath. You go to these exotic places but you let folks know they could go there too. Dude you’ll always be my mentor and #1 inspiration. Keep those vids coming. See ya when you get to the East Coast.👍🏽

I know right, it’s tough to leave California! Been getting some fun surf, but the RV had to go in the shop, so getting that taken care of
Genial!!!!! El perro jaaja que graciosoooo!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍
Out of the hundreds of gorgeous types of gemstones I have, my tiny piece of watermelon tourmaline is my favorite. I mean...it looks EXACTLY like a slice of watermelon: thin white part between the pink fruit and the green rind and all!
Matrix really stole the show with that plug!!!
These stones are so cool! It’s like they’re from a whole other world. They’re from a different continental plate so... 🤷🏻♂️😂 I like to think they’re Lemurian or something. Definitely very very different from what I’m used to from the Midwest and south! So fascinating to think about the history of rocks! Much love Bryan and Dylan. Rock on!!! 💎👀💪
I didnt even know. 2 hours away. We are going ASAP! ❤️thank you!
Oh my gosh I want to do that 👍🌻
Your videos are so much fun and very educational as well. Wish to meet you and Matrix on day. Whaaaat!
I want to go there so bad.
Man your videos never get old!!
Beautiful stones!!! And Matrix is the cutest best puppy of all!! Love you both!!! Love and Respect Tamsen Roberts in Riverside California...
Love this ! As soon as I come home from work at the rock shop. Your video comes up ! Yay! Whaaaaaaatttt! Sending love from Sedona !

I love your channel, cuz the way it's shot and edited is straight forward, thereby making it easy to live vicariously. When I can't rockhound I watch your channel (along with some others) to get my fix. I'll also binge "What's Hot Tucson" to see the fantastic specimens from all around the world. Also, if you can manage to ignore the oftentimes poorly done narration, ,those Patrick Voillot gemstone documentaries are killer. But anyway, The Crystal Collector has a good attitude and good taste in where to dig/hound. I truly, deeply, madly envy y'all being able to dig that Purple Heart amethyst. Just wwWOWww 🤤

Yeah I was hoping to make it out to Tucson this year but everything was kind of weird how it was happening. Next year will make it out and I want to make several videos showing the spectacular pieces out that way, can’t wait
Very beautiful😍 I'm from Mizoram👍
I DO love me some watermelon tourmaline! Beautiful!
Tons of fun! Thanks for sharing!!
Absolutely love love love your videos. Your finds are amazing!❤️❤️❤️
I love the matrix bit 👌♥️👌
Dude you rock literally!
I love Gems of Pala. The Morganite in my wife's engagement ring came from there.
The edits, awkward pauses, and Ism's are straight out of a Tim and Eric skit. I love it.

Happy to see that shop still there! Really need to go back!! I need more!!

Matrix is so darn cute. I like the way you made him talk.
I love watching your videos! It’s so cool to know that I can go hunt these gems so close to my residence! I’m only 100 miles from the pala mines! Thanks so much! Planning a trip to go down there now!
Went thru Ramona, huh? Have a nice trip? 🤪 Or the other route? Can you imagine how much tourmaline there is at that level throughout San Diego county in rural areas... It's all desert, tho all you see are homes & cities...hmmm. Have to go home there this year. I'll let you know...if & where...yeah, right..😄 Great video btw. Tuni says "hi!" to Matrix...(her in pic)
DUDE! Y'all crushed it today! Excellent is such a weak word.....

You are highly intuitive! I saw the lines on your right hand at 3:20 and the line to the Hill of the Moon is extremely long (actully on both hands) = you have a good connection to your feelings and intuition (inner tutor). I just love you....your doggy! Great video!
You get a lot more excited over those tiny crystals than I ever would. Also it would be nice if you gave some idea of the dost of those bags.

Precious Stones my dear friend
Bryan there were quite a few of the green crystals you found but my favourite was the gorgeous pink one. It cant be that easy spotting crystals in all that dirt though although wetting them does make it easier. I know I would have trouble though I think when you are used to seeing the crystals in dirt or mud must make it easier. When you had Matrix talking I laughed so much Terry came to see me and he found it hilarious and very clever editing as I did. You and Dylan have wonderful tans from the sun but I hope you are taking care as a close family member of Terry's has skin cancer and I worry about you both. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love and hugs to you Matrix and Dylan Mary-Ellen and Terry UK
Beautiful tourmalines Brian. What did you do with the specimens still in the host rock? Can Matrix get any cuter? Yes.. Yes he can lol.
11:55 A NICE green tourmaline!

Omg Matrix at the end doing the whaaat! 🤣🤣🤣 Cool finds! I wish we had those kinds of things to do in Hawaii along with the other fun stuff to do here. Closest thing we have is finding pretty shells which is still fun! Can’t wait for the next video with That Camping Couple! 🤍
Beautiful gem
