Sunstone Crystal Mining | Spectrum Public Mine in Oregon 

My wife and I went to that same mine and dug in a virgin pit and in an hour we got close to 2 thousand sun stones and we only dug about 1/3 of our pit. A pit size is 36"×36..If you dig the whole pit you should have ALOT OF SUNSTONES. It was 100+ degrees when we got there and there was no breeze at all and we had to leave after awhile. My advice is to get there early and bring a large outdoor table umbrella and lots of water, a long flat head screwdriver that has a 1/2" thick shaft thats about 18" long and a 3 pound hammer. Good luck and happy hunting.

Wow, what an amazing place to dig! My 85-year-old father has been a rockhound forever, but can't walk very well anymore. He lives in Oregon - this would be a great place to take him for a little bit of rocking fun!

This video made me smile. Thank you.

I love Sunstones!!! That's the Viking ODIN'S Stone!!!!! ABSOLUTELY Beautiful and all the colors Amazing!!!!!! Rock On!!!!!!!!✌😊✌!!!!!!!😎

Like a kid in a candy store picking out the sunstones from the conveyor belt could see the genuine excitement 😂 thank you for sharing! 😊 kinda looks like watermelon tourmaline!!

What a beautiful stone! They would make such pretty jewelry.

The spectrum mine has beautiful stones and many options for customers . I've been going there for years and met people from all over the world there to dig sunstones

I live in a country where there hardly anything to prospect. This why your video's are such a joy to watch.

That is amazingly beautiful. I don't think I have ever seen that before. You always give us great content. Thank you.

Wow such pretty colors and clarity.

Appreciate you sharing your passion.

I love the crystal collector I wish I could go to all those places. But I enjoy watching him showing me places I could never get to.

I have never heard of these before and I shall have to ask my son if he has heard of them. They are beautiful, the blending of the colours is so lovely especially when held up to the light. Thank you for showing us these little beauties, I've learned something new again. Take care my friend, Mary-Ellen UK

"So I gotta carefully" *smacks it with a hammer*

Okay, I'm sold. I'm planning a trip there.

Nintendo, curby and Mario lol. You guys are awesome!

You were finally more over in my neck of the woods. I'm hoping to go sunstone hunting next spring. Great video.

I love the music. I am going to be going over to the Spectrum Mine soon. I like the Fallout as you zoom in on the great Sunstones at the end.

Whaaat I am in Oregon I love your channel you're great thanks 😊

My son gave me a ton of big “ rocks” full of sun stones. I haven’t got them put yet. I’m really excited to see what’s all in there

So clear, with Beautiful splashes of colours 🌝💜✨

Man, I would get down and dirty. Mother Earth is the only way to rejuvenate for me😄

Looks like candy chunks. 😍

Cool job guys!

Thanks for sharing even more coolness! It makes my day!

Awesome finds beautiful

Those Sunstones that you found are nice!

I just bought a gorgeous sunstone ring while in Boston. It’s not from Oregon. India I believe. A nice orange with copper inclusions. I never heard of sunstone. So I researched and found it was mined in Oregon! Guess who has a brother in Portland?? I will definitely check out this mine and the other mine on BLM land.

I've been here twice in the last 10 years, and my wife and I will be heading there again this year. We've never left disappointed, and I highly recommend buying an hour at the conveyor if you can - we got some giant ones that way.

Very nice sandstone.Hopping to visit 1 day.Nice videos keep it up 💎💎⛏⛏

Really cool! Thank you for sharing this.

And now I know where were going for our next road trip! I knew it was there but I wasn't sure if it would work for us. Thanks!

Wish to have one of thise multicolor sunstone...so beautiful

Nice job on the spectrum mine ! Lots of great scenery and a hot spring or two not far away

Sooo cool! I havent heard of them before. So pretty! I love them

Wow! All the way out here in Oregon. I live in southern Oregon, but have yet to go for sunstones. I’ll just have to do it this next year, looks like a fun time. Thanks for the video and the info. Well done like always.

I can't believe how beautiful they are! I haven't been to Oregon since I was a kid so maybe it's time to plan another trip (if the CAD/USD exchange rate ever improves, that is.)

BEAUTIFUL lot!!!🌞🌞🌞

I love sunstone. I will have to check it out. Hope you do one for tourmaline.

I’ve been hoping you would make a video at Spectrum. It’s an incredible experience all around. I enjoyed all of the collecting methods they have, and I highly recommend the belt run to anyone who makes the trip to Spectrum. Happy digging!

Beautiful

Hmm. Me thinks I should visit my neighboring state. So pretty!

Native Oregonian since 1959. I have a friend that has a sunstone mine too. Your accent sounds like you are from Iowa or Nebraska. My uncle has the same accent. Lol. I stunning stone.

Almost had my chance to go to Oregon this past July. My husband had a business trip but our work was being weird about it. I wasn’t going to bother him much, really! I was going to rent a truck and take off for glass butte for a day or so. Wanted to bring back my son all the different types of obsidian. I admit it. I’m a bit jealous! 👍

Love sunstones.

When I was living in I Idaho there was a man who sold them. I never got a chance to buy one as he died. I had heard the government had closed off the area. I'm glad your digging some maybe I can get one from you next month. Ms Michal

The rocks are so pretty, I've been there.

Love his hand...😚😚

very good

I've been a rockhound, and especially a crystal collector since I was a little kid. Well, I'm so glad I've been going back through your videos. This one called to me because of the image you used for the primary photo of this video. I was amazed, and a little upset. See, several years ago I got interested again in rocks and crystals, as I was about to retire, and ready to spend some time doing more things I enjoyed, not just so much dumb s*** I had to do for 20+ years on my job. I bought some rocks that I thought sounded cool, and some awesome quartz crystals. But I also bought a couple of "sunstones." I had never seen any, and really should have Googled it. I got two rocks, but seeing the images of the sunstones you are digging out of the ground, well, oops. Somebody sent me a couple of nice tumbled...orange rocks. Some kind of agate-ish quartz. Thanks for this nice lesson in checking things out better and a learning experience in how awesome is sunstone!

Hubby and I went there for our 15 year anniversary. We're so in love with the area. We almost bought the house and cabin out there. ...But those mosquitoes 😆

I love it

great vid

I was watching your newer stuff with my daughter and thought, I wonder if he has been to Oregon for sun stones. Wasn’t disappointed.
