Took some time down by the river to go over a couple pieces that mean a lot to me.🌊 We picked up these thunder eggs at a rock show in Creston, BC, and I wanted to bring them out into nature and really take a look at them.🌎 The second piece is something different… This golden-yellow to honey-brown plume agate was dug up by me and my brother in Vernon, BC. Straight from the dirt. He turned it into a clean wire-wrapped pendant.📿 This is what I’m about in this community— Not just rocks… but the story behind them, where they come from, and what you can turn them into More coming soon:👈

Me and my brother robert hunting for crystals. Mybe one day we can do live dig days.🪏

See are full Youtube video 👇 This is one of my wildest prospecting trips in years.⛏️ found some beautiful gems and crystals as well as being stranded stuck in the mud in my van. got to love spring time in BC canada. 🚐 if you're into extra content this will be the video for you. happy Friday to all.👍

This week’s find is something I’m pretty excited about—green Peridot crystals hosted in dark Basalt, found right here near Nelson, BC. You can see that nice olive-green color popping out of the darker volcanic rock—this is what I love about field collecting. That contrast makes it stand out once you know what to look for. What’s going on here? This type of formation comes from magma that cooled quickly at the surface. The peridot (which is actually gem-quality Olivine) crystallized earlier deep in the magma and got carried up during volcanic activity, ending up locked inside the basalt What to look for in the field: Dark volcanic rock (basalt flows) Small green crystal pockets or weathered-out grains Areas with past volcanic activity or lava flows 👉 A lot of people walk right past this stuff without noticing it—once your eye is trained, you start spotting green flashes everywhere. Now I want to see YOUR finds 👇 Drop a photo of what you found this week—crystals, gold, rocks, anything from the field. Let’s see what everyone’s uncovering out there! #Rockhounding #Peridot #Olivine #Basalt #NelsonBC #Prospecting #CrystalHunting #ShowYourFinds

You can see that green chlorite coating and inclusions running through the quartz crystals. These pieces form when hot, mineral-rich fluids move through cracks in the rock. As things cool down, the quartz starts to crystallize, and minerals like Chlorite get trapped inside or grow alongside it. Mineral Breakdown: Quartz (SiO₂): The clear to milky crystals — hard, resistant, and forms in hexagonal shapes. Chlorite (iron/magnesium aluminum silicate): That green color — usually forms in low to medium-grade metamorphic environments and hydrothermal systems. This combo usually tells you there was some pressure, heat, and fluid movement involved — classic conditions for veins and pockets where crystals grow over time. Not the flashiest piece, but it’s raw, natural, and tells a solid geological story — and that’s what matters. Now I want to see yours 👇 What did you find this week?
