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.
Awesome video . What nice guys!
This was great! Thank you.
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 .
Colorado isn’t the Midwest lol
Would love to see you how to India Ruby mines
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!
The green of those tree’s reminds me of …..tree’s.
what did they do to moveout the smoke and dust after the blast ?
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!!
This video cured my anxiety.
The LSU miner!!! Geaux Tigers! 💛💜
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 ✌️
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.
I loved going to mines in Brazil…its so amazing 🙂 Not many people get this chance….now next time
you buy a gem remember this 🙂
Very good job
33 million years? First person ever.
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.😁
Freakin’ awesome stuff.
Show me a pocket people.
you are such a Diva , I know Bryan
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.
Really enjoyed this video. Would love to see more like this.
Who would dislike this video? You should interview collectors.
This is great!
Love it! 🤩😍🥰❤️💎
Very cool. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Good job can u give me advise how can I buy rhodochrosite stone direct to mines
i only have polished rhodochrosite which is in a small amount… this is awesome… i enjoyed the video
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 😅
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.
Soooooo exciting should be on the discovery channel!
Gemologist chicks pretty cute
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.
I see the veins are vertically moving .but here where we work veins move horizantally ….
Road trips are fun!
That was exciting. I hope they let you have some of the mineral specimens that they discard. What a show piece those would be.
Did this new portal to the Sweet Home Mine become profitable enough to continue operation in the face of rampant inflation of 2022?
That was soooo cool!!
Natalie’s enthusiasm here combined with her beauty… just beautiful! Yeah… I’m in love with her! 💕
am i still shopping at home im confused
Settle down too much sugar
So awesome!
Amazing!!! Thank you for this! I appreciate everything more
I would love to see you go to a tourmaline mine
That was so rad! I didn’t know sphalerite was in Colorado. Seeing rhodo with fluorite—that was something special😍 What a super fun mining adventure!! Ty so much for sharing the trip ✨💐
MORE more more!
Amazing and so well explained I’m so jealous but In a good way do more videos like this
Nebraska 😆
