This is mostly raw mining footage finding many great crystals!
While digging for Halite Crystals, Aaron Van Dorn of Red DIrt Rockhounds from Oklahoma and I decided to walk the distance across the salt fields to a secret selenite location!
Selenite is a type of gypsum
This is a private location in Oklahoma we are digging

Thanks for watching!

I love how even after all the 1000's of rocks you guys have pulled out of the ground, you still get excited about every single one. I hope someday I can have a job I love that much.

While walking through my neighbors yard showing it to a potential tenant for my landlord something shiny caught my eye. It was a very well etched Selenite crystal. Not very big but it has awesome details and pretty good clarity. It made my day to find it laying literally in the grass.

When i see the raw selenite and then look at my polished up selenite wand, I truly understand how magical these little guys are! They’re so good at capturing and reflecting light. Such beautiful work that nature does.
@MrAmethystguy
@MrAmethystguy 5 лет назад
South Dakota selenite wands are not polished or made of "satin spar" gypsum(technically not selenite since its not clear), and they are double terminated floater crystals with record keeper growth lines. I will say though, this Oklahoma selenite he dug, is fantastic. I have seen a good amount of these sold, and each one was unique and special in its own way. Like mother natures "windows". Its my favorite selenite of all...the stuff in this video

I imagine you have to be extra careful when cleaning selanite as its so fragile. A hill and land full of selanite, you were in a wonderful spot Brian, your excitement and enthusiasm comes across so well in your videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, I enjoy watching you and just wish I could be with you seeing natural beauty in the ground. Take care my friend, Mary-Ellen UK

You would use this stuff...it would scratch, flake, and chip all the time. Being that a fingernail easily scratches gypsum, especially clear/colorless selenite, so its not wise to handle or place things on it

We have some here in NV.. Very beautiful and often sheer like layers of thin glass with wispy clouds. Cut a cabochon and ended up sealing the back and edges with epoxy before wire wrapping. BTW.. Rockhounding tips: 1 - always take a backpack. 2 - always wear gloves. 3- take along a rock pick. And watch out for those critters!

Im curious how costly is your traveling to all these amazing mine locations? I live in connecticut and locally most of the mines are shut down and I havent had much luck finding more than quartzite in local forests but my entire life have dreamed of hunting crystals and gemstones but have always been worroed about the cost of travel. I was also wondering if you sell your crystals and gemstones online anywhere? For me I go to an expo inmassachusettes to find cool gems from around the world but locally there arent many places to hunt

Lived in OK for most of my child and teenage years. While it's rare to find completely clear ones you can find the hour glass selenite or commonly refered to as mudslide selenite all over not to mention lots of dessert rose if anyone is interested its all over just talk to the people in the town's. That's how I got my collection started.

@ginfonte3386
@ginfonte3386 5 лет назад
Johnmighty;D selenite is an evaporite. As a lake bed evaporates, the calcium sulfate dissolved in the water becomes more concentrated. When it reaches a critical point, it crystalizes out of solution. So you might say the surface falls away from the crystal. This layer may subsequently be buried.
