Nancy Hanks Gulch Amethyst Mine Trailhead Western Colorado

Nancy Hanks Gulch Amethyst Mine Trailhead Western Colorado

Hey guys, so in this video we were trying to go to a location i found online to dig for Amethyst crystals but we weren’t sure were were in the correct location due to my maps not downloading correctly. We just decided to continue the path and see where it took us. Luckily it took us where we were wanting to go. Ended up finding lots of river/creek tumbled Fluorite crystals, some were mixed with Malachite and Azurite. It is on BLM Land but be careful there are claims in area. We had a interesting trip taking the riverbed back down. If you take the creek bed down to the road you will run across many drop offs ranging from 10 foot to 60 foot drops. So if you chose to take that route it will be an intense hike for you. The trail is about a 45 min hike compared to 3 hour hike by river.

Stay until the end of the video to see all the cool finds from this trip.

    Cool man. Missing one critical tool – chopsticks

  3. Greggors Antonio on February 18, 2021 at 5:46 pm

    Country Jam…Grand J….Oh the memories, but the Fossil hunting almost everywhere under the Grand Mesa was EPIC….heck the rocks around one of the golf courses we shot where awesome. Plus i found close to 100 balls that day. People dont go after missed hits….snakes of the rattley kind were present.

  4. Jeremy Suor on February 18, 2021 at 5:49 pm

  5. Victoria Briseno on February 18, 2021 at 5:59 pm

  8. UnprestigedMC on February 18, 2021 at 6:06 pm

    Man… will have to look into grand junction next time i go!

  9. Manistee Rocks! on February 18, 2021 at 6:11 pm

    This video is awesome!!…I’m making my critical tool list as we speak,.. definitely an area I want to investigate. Important question tho,..being from Michigan,will I get altitude sickness?..kinda important…lemme know

  10. Thirst Fast on February 18, 2021 at 6:13 pm

    Is there somewhere nearby where the granite contacts the sandstone? In the vicinity of the veins? Around here those contacts are very productive for amethyst. Honestly, it seems like the area you’re in might yield better fluorite specimens if you can find some vugs and get into cubes. I read a few of the comments and saw that you’d gone back and found more, I look forward to seeing it! I love seeing what others find for amethyst! Cheers!

  11. World of Rock Hounds on February 18, 2021 at 6:21 pm

    Nice supply list!

  12. Rockhounding Life on February 18, 2021 at 6:28 pm

    Cool finds!!! Love finding mineral combos.

  13. jim younie on February 18, 2021 at 6:35 pm

    I have been to Grand Junction but it was be fore I started rock hounding. Great video.

  14. Cliffwalker rockhounding on February 18, 2021 at 6:38 pm

    Does that creek have a season when it runs? Thats when I would go to that place, the scenery would be great with a bit of water. I am also surprised there is still colour in that float flourite, the sun bleaches it out with exposure. Did you check its glow under UV?
