Crystal HIll NOT quartz but BUT WHAT could it be?? 

I recognize myself in your excited discovery mode! I'm like a cracked out spider monkey when I'm chasing rocks, hiking, going for photos, while at a concert/festival and am photographing performers, chasing dragonflies, or just finding joy at being out in nature. Here's to all us COSMs! P.S. I used to work for a geothermal energy development company and plant managers/geologists would sometimes bring me cool finds when they came to corporate. I always wanted to go out to the plants to look around for myself, but I was stuck 80+ miles away in an office. Now I'd like to go out there with you and go through the tailings together.

Elley another fabulous day what interesting discoveries you’ve came across that day your excitement never stops that’s what makes your videos the best thanks for inviting us

The information and techniques on finding rocks and cleaning them has been a super valuable eduction from you! Love you and your videos that are so energetic and fun!

My wife and I call your channel “Ellen” because we know you know rocks. Thanks for bringing us along.

Hi Elley, You get So excited which makes it so, for those of us who "follow" in your 'footsteps'. You are so knowledgeable about geology & willing to share it. I'm glad I found your channel on YT as it keeps me interested in what is out there, yet to be found. Looking forward to checking out your videos. Stay safe in all your travels. Thanks for sharing.

If not quartz(before watching the whole video) from the first looks, my guess would be calcite, or maybe selenite(gypsum).

Steve is a cool dude. Tell him Debbie said "Hi!"

Love watching your enthusiasm spill into your videos. Ive learned so much by watching you! I'm even amazed at how much I have retained! Thank you!😊

🤯 This is like watching myself ... "rockout"..🤩 thru someone else's lens...😏🤭🤗

Love your earrings. Sending you airhugs of positive loving energy to you and yours.

Now I will have to guess that the amount of rocks Ellie takes home is eventually going to start changing the axis of the Earth haha😅

Another awesome video, Elley! I'm glad you were able to figure out that they were calcite and not quartz. What are the chances that you could give us a tour of your personal collection in an upcoming video???

I'm from Nor California, my family lives in LHC, and I am planning a rock hunting adventure with my nephew! Thank you for all of your info. Hopefully I can figure out some good locations when I get there! lol I can't believe how many cool minerals are all around.

It's calcite. I'm glad you're educating the Rock Club members. Please make them update the Pin.

If you use acid, try 2 5 gallon buckets, one for rinsing the other fill with gallons of water distilled, and 200 mils of acid, use a metal or chemical resistant plastic strainer.

Great job of identifying the calcite crystals. Good luck onthe babded jasper. 😊 😷⚒

Oooo look at this! Oooooo look at that! Walk a little bit…then ewwww look at that one!! Poor Steve (did he know what he was getting into? 😂😂) Steve should just pick out some shade and take a siesta until every Crystal has been picked through…that’s what my husband does😂😂😂😂

Pretty cool!

dogtooth are cool to have 👍

Off topic, I am still thinking of the trip you found all of the grind stones for food. Could you point me in the general direction? I'm not a scavenger, but would love to see the area to imagine life at the time. Desert drifter, and the trek planner, are two young men I follow.

My wife loves your hat! Can you leave a link or mention were to find one? Thanks for taking us along :)

Honey you are a typical RockHound keep all the pretty rocks you can I do ha ha ha ha

Young Lady, would a Sonic Cleaner remove the *caleche???* or is the Muriatic Acid the only option there is???

Have you posted the video for the trip on the other location for banded agate? Maybe I'm just not looking in the right spot......

Do you think they were formed during or after the area was under the ocean?

Hola Ellie!!! sería excelente para las personas de habla hispana, tuvieras la amabilidad de unos subtítulos, aunque sea por AI, por favor, seguro somos varios tus suscriptores, excelente trabajo, gracias!

Great

I was going to get some hydrochloric acid for identification such as limestone but I knew about muratic acid. any reason why your choice was muratic?-it does not matter to me

❤

I can pay

Love your videos, but what is up with the sound?!?

Try soaking them in coca cola or pepsi see if that works for you.

Hay el can u send me some of those calcite crystals I make jewelry I'm in Glendale Arizona

You're the second tuber to note that the pin is wrong

Let Ellie get excited. You guys are starting to sound like boyfriend Danny Downer

Spell DoG backwards

No not DIRT it is SOIL,

❤
