Finding Garnets in California

Finding Garnets in California

A day digging at one of our favorite garnet locations in southern California. We hit a couple nice zones in the mica schist producing many beautiful almandine garnets

    Awesome finds! I’ve gone up looking for these in zones bearing a lot of granite pegmatite and mica schist in the SGV mountains, still no luck tho. The hunt continues!

    I live in socal and am extremely curious where to find stuff like this. Ive been taking my kids gold prospecting with some luck, but i think crystals would be better for kids. Great find, and thanks for posting!

  19. Zach Walraven on August 9, 2021 at 5:07 am

    Nice day sir..

  22. george pierce on August 9, 2021 at 5:11 am

    Nice digging. Most of what you showed was too cracked and crazed to be of gem quality. Hope I’m wrong

  23. Hal on August 9, 2021 at 5:13 am

    Yo its to the point where i WILL slide you 100$ at least JUST for plugging me with this incredible location!!! Email: big.man.james0815@gmail.com

    Awesome garnets…
    Found smaller river worn garnets while gold prospecting. Your garnets come from higher up on the hill sides. What other indicators do you look for?

  27. Kimberly on August 9, 2021 at 5:15 am

    Looks like a serpentine schist matrix, or at least some kind of a schist, which means these garnets are being found along fault zones. Looks like really sandy soil, too. Is that red sandstone? Dang it’s too hard to see. There’s the occasional flash of some platy minerals in that red sandstone

  28. Jo Lind on August 9, 2021 at 5:18 am

    What is the point of this video? No talking, no info and no tips or tricks to help in searching for the stones. Only saw people digging and showing off what they could get. Over 8 minutes of you showing what you got. Shows you there are still only two classes "the needy and the greedy" Nothing magic about that.

    Thứ này rất tốt…bán ngọc hay ngọc non

  31. Ram Dia on August 9, 2021 at 5:23 am

    Hi good evening sir ji. Now I have 500 gm that stone garnet

  32. Candy Warmuth on August 9, 2021 at 5:25 am

    I’ve met plenty of really nice rock hounds and too many stingy with info. Greed is such an ugly trait.

  33. miguelhabano on August 9, 2021 at 5:26 am

    WUAOO QUE COLOR TAN BUENO TIENEN.

  34. Hal on August 9, 2021 at 5:27 am

    Yo man is this near san bernadino??

  35. Hal on August 9, 2021 at 5:29 am

    Yo man! I know rockhounds even go to the efforts of burring digs but im 17 and just starting out! Just got back from splitting limestone for diplos, myos, and other ANCIENT fish! Approximately 50mil years old.. i also cracked rock and hunted for trilobites in utah! So this stuff peaks my interest man! I went with my grandpa to hunt for hemotite with garnet in the marble mountains of the Mojave desert i believe in the south east basin. We also hunted for trilobites there! But it lacked the volume of trilobites i found two days ago in utah! Usually just negatives:( but hey man if you could hint to me what that layer is near id really appreciate it!! I wouldnt disclose it to much other than my grandpa to be completely honest with you.

  36. Adele T on August 9, 2021 at 5:30 am

    Where are the best place to find these crystals?

  37. Hammer_Tongs on August 9, 2021 at 5:30 am

    here is a dumb qu to ask. what type of rocky area that holds them. or do you look for x type of mound of rocks in an area?
    yes i am a green-horn when it comes to this.

  38. Kenny Mac on August 9, 2021 at 5:31 am

    Who’s leg do I have to hump in order to find out specifically where they are at?
    (All this potential leg humping is gonna make me want to find Garnets).

    Do you guys know any places near Sacramento? I’m from N.C. and know a lot of great spots there, but out here my main problem is not being able to go far from Sacramento. Anywhere you’d recommend?
