This is by far my favorite video I’ve watched on your channel. Thank you!
Took me a while to get to these mine videos but I am so glad I did. I felt like I was going on an adventure with you and this and the collector’s edge video were so amazing to watch!! Very glad I finally had the time to give these the attention they deserve, and I hope to see more of this in the future (and maybe visit these places myself!)
I’m hoping you’ll go to the diamond quarry in Arkansas
Who would dislike this video? You should interview collectors.
I would love to get a chunk of that vein….
Soooooo exciting should be on the discovery channel!
YES! Keep this content up and let’s see a ruby mine next! This kind of educational and travel content is what we crave. There aways needs to be an element of growth and evolution to a channel to keep it’s spirit alive and this is just the kind of next step in production we want to see it go.
This is without a doubt THE most exciting, fascinating JTV episode to date! Thank you so much to Brian, JTV, and Natalie for sharing this wonderful experience! It was great that Natalie climbed the ladder to provide scale for the rhodochrosite vein, and really special that she got to mine her own souvenir.
This has been the BEST one so far Natalie! Your excitement is contagious!! Love love this ❤
The LSU miner!!! Geaux Tigers! 💛💜
Those gems are so fresh you could drink them out of the wall
TLDR: Aubrey plaza finds rocks
Amazing and so well explained I’m so jealous but In a good way do more videos like this
This would be a great series, just going to different mines and touring them
That was awesome. You had fun and I was having fun watching you have fun. ( sounds like something you would say) Lol. Thank you for a great video.
That was so cool, thanks for sharing your adventure with us! ⚒💎🧨❣️
Would love to see you how to India Ruby mines
I remember the episode where you had a lovely carved opal piece. And it makes me wonder if jewellers or artists who carve with stone or minerals really know where their specimens come from. And how appreciative they are of the work that’s gone in to unearthing the pieces they’re working on/with.
I live in Southern Ontario and I’ve wanted to go to Bancroft for a few years now to go rock hunting in the public areas. This just makes me want to do it more!
Natalie’s enthusiasm here combined with her beauty… just beautiful! Yeah… I’m in love with her! 💕
PUN INTENDED
Yassssss I love Rhodochrosite! I can’t afford Sweet Home Mine pieces though 😅
Maybe go to a mine that sources Rose Quartz?
Oh I know. A Canadian diamond mine. That would be epic cool to see. I wish for you to tour a Canadian diamond mine, and show us. Please. 🙂
horrid music
Thanks so much for sharing your tour with us :)!
i only have polished rhodochrosite which is in a small amount… this is awesome… i enjoyed the video
omg shes so short, i love her lmao
I love helmet hair! Lol Great episode, wonderful passion!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Bancroft in Canada would be nice or one of many in Nova Scotia. This was a great journey and a complete eye opener. And Fun.
I loved every second of this video. Thank you for bringing us along.
Thank you that was very good. You say wash the same way my family an I do. Go Big Red
Since I got my rhodochrosite, I can eazy get into relaxed state of mind,Im not that explosive even Im a scorpio.lol
Gonna watch a video now.😁
Well I have to say this was one of my favorites, Natalie I’m jealous, I picked the medical field but so much fun with you Bryan and Graham, thanks so much!
This is so cool
One of your best videos. Great job. More like this please.
this is AMAZING!
Awesome video . What nice guys!
Really enjoyed this video. Would love to see more like this.
I love this so much this is awesome
Sounds like the first time you ever left pavement.
glad you enjoyed your mining adventure. did he say 1 pocket every 100 days? i had no idea of the scarcity at this location
Wow !! Thank you. I was wondering how a person would check a hollow sounding spot in bed rock. Drill and diamond saw to it. Oh boy! 😉 Awesome video! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 :):) 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
So awesome!
Chrome diopside can be found very near there.
This video cured my anxiety.
That was soooo cool!!
You do know that the beginning of this video is abracadabra to most people for the rest of the world uses metric. Please use metric or both next time, for I have now idea what 5000 feet is. Anyway back to the video.
You’re quite lucky being the first tourist in the mine. You should do more of these Gem-ventures someday. Maybe at the Crown Jewel Mine in Thunder Bay, Ontario. It’s only one of nearly several localites in the world where the leek variety of Quartz, Prasiolite comes from.
It’s "prill" not "propel" that is loaded into the holes. How do I know this? I’ve done this job. Hard work but lots of fun.
to makes me happy to see Natalie so excited, was gonna go to sleep halfway through the video or something but i can’t stop
(it’s 5:35am pls send help)
Road trips are fun!
