One of the BEST Hyalite Opal Claims on the Planet! 

I'm in Cedar City Utah and I don't have Facebook but would love to meet up 🤠

Would love that 🙏♥️

Is the convoy the light you always use or are there multiples I've had a hard time finding the right ones I've purchased 3 now 🤷

It would be a very good idea not to mess with these rocks. You have no idea what you are messing with. Men's hearts will fail them from what is coming upon the earth. Your worst nightmare, will become reality. You were warned.

@@1Corinthians15_1-4 No fear in LOVE family 💪🙏🤠

Hello you

This joke was the hyalite of my day...whaaaaaaat! 😂 lol

Hello you

Thank you so much for the kind words! I truly appreciate your support, many blessings to you as well 🙌💎💜

❤❤❤hello you

So how does one contact Jon! I don't have Facebook 🤠👍

@@akowboyshippielife7405 I will ask him.

@@akowboyshippielife7405 "Right on, thanks. I can't do tours yet until I get my tour guide permit. I just got my application and it will probably take 3-6 months to be processed. Hopefully only 3 so that I can do tours this fall. I can't charge money for it unless I have the permit, and I'm not taking that person out there for free. I'll reach out to them on RU-vid once I have the permit" There ya go

Yeah, it’s pretty interesting!!

I don't know the legend but I have one. It's beautiful and translucent

@@marywright4934 the legend is as follows, during a fight with the military, fifty penal Apache warrior's we're killed. Rather than die at the hands of the white man , they chose to jump off a cliff to their death. The women , gathered at the base of the cliff and mourned for a moon. Their sorrow was so great , they shed many years. As those years fell to the ground one by one they became what's known as the Apache Tear's. Anyone who possesses an Apache tear need not shed a single tear as the Apache women , shed Tear's enough for them too.

Thank You Mary

​@TheCrystalCollector it was a pleasure meeting you at topaz mountain a few weeks ago, thank you for the conversation and crystals you gave me and my friend. Hope to meet you again one day and enjoy more conversations.

😂

Yup, can confirm being as I have some from the location. The calcite glows very orange.

Thanks so much 🙌💎

@@TheCrystalCollector You're welcome

Yeah, that would be an epic trip!

Limonitr is very tough to get off, sometimes iron out will work, but it can take many many soaks

@@TheCrystalCollector thank you!

Hello you

@@Daphongthuycamau hey

Hello you

Hyalite is Opal & is where opal is deposited by vapor, not fluid.

You are probably confusing halite with hyalite. Completely different. Halite is basically a salt crystal. Hyalite opal is a type of opal that fluoresces and has less water content than precious opal.

❤❤❤hell you

This is an official BLM claim, it’s plenty valid

Filing a claim does not by nature make it valid. I checked - case law is McClarty vs Secretary of the Interior. A claim has to have unique properties (this does) but also has to have economic value. If he can sell these specimens, that would appear to make it economically viable. In general, I prefer that people consider rock hounding sites on public land to belong to the public. Is he planning to make collecting and selling specimens a full time job? Charging people to rock hound on his claim would, I believe , be illegal. You come from the east where everything is private - the public lands of the west are what make it great.

The mining law rules and is constantly re-regulated for fees but never removed. If you can sell it, it is a viable mineral by definition. The form of the product does not matter. Size of operation does not apply. America is full of gemstone mines that are "not industrial" but perfectly valid to work. Dont forget we pay hundreds of dollars to run the entire system for each claim yearly.

@@fredwilson3525 what law makes paid tours on a claim illegal? Just curious. Also I’d say these specimens definitely have unique properties and he does sell them for profit so the claim is fully viable. Yes, he’s a professional collector/seller full time.

Question is do we want all rock hounding sites on BLM or Forest Service lands to be claimed if they are only going to sell a hand specimen here or there? If he is truly making a mine, more power to him. As far as fees for access, the mining law does not allow restriction of public access to un-patented claims. I may be wrong on fee to dig, but I suspect BLM would say foul play. At Glass Butte in Oregon, BLM has stated that only a few older claims are valid. They may be using status as a designated recreation area to do that, and some lawyer may claim that is inconsistent with the 1870 law. However, I am glad they did that, since public lands are for public benefit, and many rock hounders having access to me is a better public use than one person trying to see if they can sell a few specimens. Again for the case at hand, I don’t know his plans or intent, I just know that less and less sites are available for public rock hounding sucks. A boundary in my mind is if a claim is not a realistic income source, then it should not be valid. It is one thing to use the law, it is another thing to do what is right.
