I would love to see you go to a tourmaline mine
Chrome diopside can be found very near there.
am i still shopping at home im confused
You guys definitely need to do alot more getting out of the studio .
Yes , it’s expensive, but it would set you in a new class of editorial /scientific / historic show .
So awesome!
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. 🙂
Who would dislike this video? You should interview collectors.
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.
Amazing!!! Thank you for this! I appreciate everything more
Settle down too much sugar
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.
Did this new portal to the Sweet Home Mine become profitable enough to continue operation in the face of rampant inflation of 2022?
Show me a pocket people.
That was so cool, thanks for sharing your adventure with us! ⚒💎🧨❣️
The green of those tree’s reminds me of …..tree’s.
I came across this video today and wow what a great trip! I love the films where you actually see the gems and minerals in situ in the rock. Amazing! PS love the enthusiasm to!!
Road trips are fun!
you are such a Diva , I know Bryan
Would love to see you how to India Ruby mines
Anyone interested in mining this mineral should get in touch with me. I have discovered a previously unknown deposit, some of which is even visible on the surface. And there is fantastic quality. I don’t have cash to start operations and so it still sits undetected by geologists and humanity in general. I am not asking for investors but rather quite the opposite. I want to find someone with the ability to open operations in exchange I’d only request a small stake in the company or simply a decent job position in the mining operations I could walk you to the exact location or provide as many pounds of samples as needed for testing although I must walk quite a long distance tranversing waterways and bear infested wilderness and I can only haul around 150lbs per backpack, per trip. I could make someone incredibly rich in exchange for a decent job basically.
Colorado rocks for rocks 😬👍 Anyway there is no empirical scientific evidence those crystals are 33,000,000 years old, that’s pure theoretical conjecture that’s taught in our modern biased educational systems just like macro evolution. Let’s just enjoy these gems and minerals for what they are .. gifts from God that display His glory just like the galaxies and nebulae do in the night sky. Thanks for filming the tour, as a long time mineral collector with a couple Rhodochrosites in my cabinets I found this really interesting. Peace ✌️
Really enjoyed this video. Would love to see more like this.
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! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 :):) 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
That was exciting. I hope they let you have some of the mineral specimens that they discard. What a show piece those would be.
The LSU miner!!! Geaux Tigers! 💛💜
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.
Natalie’s enthusiasm here combined with her beauty… just beautiful! Yeah… I’m in love with her! 💕
Amazing and so well explained I’m so jealous but In a good way do more videos like this
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.
how much is rhodochrosite? That little gem she harvested, how much would it retail for? I don’t understand how these guys can go YEARS, 50 hours a week, 4 dudes, wasting explosives, water, electricity, pumping oxygen, etc. Its gotta be expensive…. They go years and they finally find rhodochrosite and its 2 inches thick and 16 inches in diameter? How expensive could that be?? Its gotta be super expensive.
what did they do to moveout the smoke and dust after the blast ?
Awesome video . What nice guys!
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.😁
Gemologist chicks pretty cute
That was soooo cool!!
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 great!
Soooooo exciting should be on the discovery channel!
This video cured my anxiety.

33 million years? First person ever.
Hola com estas you es África tengo ouna pudra. Tini michas coloris

“I’m officially a miner and I’ve got the stones to prove it!” Lol best line ever 😅
