Natalie’s enthusiasm here combined with her beauty… just beautiful! Yeah… I’m in love with her! 💕
That was soooo cool!!
33 million years? First person ever.
Did this new portal to the Sweet Home Mine become profitable enough to continue operation in the face of rampant inflation of 2022?
So awesome!
you are such a Diva , I know Bryan
am i still shopping at home im confused
Nebraska 😆
My only beef with this video is that the presenter only uses the Imperial system. Considering YT has a worldwide audience and considering 99.9% of world’s population uses metric, don’t you think it’s about time the US changed. In fact, I find it kind of arrogant and thoughtless that you can’t even bother flashing up the conversions on screen.
On rare occasions I do look up a conversion it’ll be only for one measurement. Otherwise, I move on.
The odd imperial measurement on YT doesn’t drive me nuts. However, the numerous times weights, heights, lengths, temps were mentioned meant the measurements were integral to the information imparted.
45-degree F (I can’t even spell the word, neither can my spell checker) is utterly meaningless to most people. Apparently, that’s quite cool. Who would know. For the rest us however, that’d be a summer from hell!
The only items that are still measured in inches (at least where I live) are TV, pc and mobile device screens. Who knows why this quirk has stuck around like a bad smell.
The LSU miner!!! Geaux Tigers! 💛💜
That was exciting. I hope they let you have some of the mineral specimens that they discard. What a show piece those would be.
Good job can u give me advise how can I buy rhodochrosite stone direct to 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.
Road trips are fun!
Love it! 🤩😍🥰❤️💎
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!
Freakin’ awesome stuff.
Settle down too much sugar
“I’m officially a miner and I’ve got the stones to prove it!” Lol best line ever 😅
Amazing!!! Thank you for this! I appreciate everything more
Show me a pocket people.
Hola com estas you es África tengo ouna pudra. Tini michas coloris
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.
Colorado isn’t the Midwest lol
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.
Soooooo exciting should be on the discovery channel!
Awesome video . What nice guys!
I see the veins are vertically moving .but here where we work veins move horizantally ….
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.😁
The green of those tree’s reminds me of …..tree’s.
Thanks for the video! I would have cried and died once I touched it. This is my favorite stone. 😍
Wow MORE MINE TOURS
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 was great! Thank you.
Gemologist chicks pretty cute
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 ✌️
I would love to see you go to a tourmaline mine
MORE more more!
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 .
what did they do to moveout the smoke and dust after the blast ?
Expen$ive! Expen$ive! Expen$ive!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Very good job
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 🙂
This video cured my anxiety.
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 ✨💐
This is great!
i only have polished rhodochrosite which is in a small amount… this is awesome… i enjoyed the video
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.
One of the best episodes I’ve seen. Great adventure.
