Sorry, can find better way better gemstones down in Santee (San Diego) for free and purchase tourmaline gem quality cheaper then $70. Definitely a salted pile of rocks lol. Love the family idea but nothing worth saving in those screens in the first 20 min. 🙁 continuing on just had to comment and glad I didn’t go up and do that I would have been so disappointed.
Thank you for this awesome video! Makes me really miss this awesome mine. Definitely need to visit the mine again soon. Thankfully, I already have two of the bags of high grade mine ore in my garage to go through this weekend.
Totally recommend this mine – for anybody that sees this.
And, totally agree with everybody regarding Steve – he’s absolutely awesome! 👍
Spent good time out there but not $75 good. We had a feeling that truck loads of pile been pre screened good. We haven’t even find $5 worth of anything. At least for that money you guys should of planted some buckets of Amethyst, quartz or no gem quality tourmaline crystals in that pile. They have almost no value but people would of be happy to find some. I rather spend that $75 on ebay and get some nice crystals. We never go back.
Great video! I’ve been there a few times plus other mines in the area. I remember visiting a mine in the area about 25 years ago with a friend who knew the owners and we personally got to go inside the mine and crawl around, it was fantastic! The owner told me that his wife had purchased the mine for him as an anniversary present! I can’t even imagine what that would be like!

Hi ya! I wanted to say thank you for this video. Ive been wanting to go to this mine but have horrible anxiety. If I dont know what to expect, I typically wont go. This made me feel excited and confident to visit Pala. Big big thank you 🙂
Oh man — this video was an ENTIRE GEOLOGY EDUCATION right here! Very Fabulous! I’m saving this one to watch again! Used to live in Southern California & studied some of the geologic history of California. Incredible! I enjoyed this one SO MUCH!!
Hi Dave, good seeing you live today! Hope you found some unique herks! I did see this video a few months ago, and now have watched it 3 times. That much information! I am gleaning tips for my upcoming official first dig here in Oct. As I am watching you in the jeep with your guide Steve! ( sorry can’t remember his name) I find myself wanting to jump out and scour the sides of the road! Thank you for taking the time filming this with the guide, love it!
Safe travels!
HELO I WONDER HOW CAN I GO
TO THAT PLACE AND WHAT I NEED
AND HOW MUCH?
I AM REALY INTERESTED
THANKS ROBERTO HERNANDEZ LEON
Why would anyone damage a specimen of bi-color tourmaline just to take back the pinks that sounds pretty ignorant 🤦♂️
Love that Kunzite! I found a little pocket of semi facet grade stuff in an unexpected place. Throw it under a Blacklight!
It was great to meet you, hope to see you again soon!
Great video! I’ve been there three times and can’t wait to go again.
Hallowed ground for mineral collectors and gemologists, thanks for the tour!
Lived within 40 miles of the mines and have never been. Thanks for the information.
Kunzite fades if left in direct Sunlight! Just an FYI!
Cant wait to go back!!
Wow 🤩 Those are precious gems.. I just bought an Aquamarine at the Valencia Mall the other day for $45 and it’s so tiny.. 😅
💎💎💎💎❤️
the tour guide is a great teacher!
