Dunno. Where should we go first? Chinese artifacts in the Grand Canyon? Or somewhere round here? Anything in the high desert?

I'm sure there's tons of rock deposits here...even the trails up in the mountains have quartz...mainly rose tho

Am I the only one that thinks kissing random rocks is a bad idea?

Maybe unlike the rest of us he knows what that is and this that it's harmless.
notkvothethebloodless
I was thinking more bacteria
InsultCatapult
I didn't consider that. Fair enough.

I was thinking the same thing. I’m pretty sure some minerals are deadly when they come in contact with your skin.

It has a towel underneath it. Fake

That was obviously placed there to protect it when it fell away from the giant boulder it was attached to.
Angel666Hawk
What he was chiseling wasn't attached to it either...
InsultCatapult
I thought that at first, too. But looks like he couldn't pull it out unless there was more clearance in the hole. (That's what she said.)

Well, first you have to craft a stone pickaxe. Soon you'll find some iron, and you can make a better one. Then there might be some lava.

How do you found those?

BilboTanker
Ok u little shits listen up, there are 3 ways to find these puppies. 1) finding abandoned mineral mines (or active ones NOT FREE) 1/3
mynewestusername
Technically the abandoned mines aren't free to use either. If it's available you could stake a new claim on it for a few hundred bucks.
mynewestusername
There's also a chance the shaft you found was abandoned, but still has mining going on underneath.
BilboTanker
2) Earthquake and fault lines are real good places. 3) volcanic tubes (yes like the one from the movie to the center of the earth)
BilboTanker
TakeshisApprentice
How do you found those.
TuggSpeedmann
There’s a place just outside of eager Arizona in the mountains by the volcano ruins that you have a very good chance of finding them. 1/2
TuggSpeedmann
The trick is to find a few that have the same look, then you’ll find them all over like candy in a shop. Found a 70lbs one with the cousins

He found a huge cluster of smokey quartz all in the same piece of matrix. It's a rush for every gem Hunter to find something so awesome.

Serious question. Can people just go around chopping pieces of rock anywhere to take home?

You could sell that rock for maybe 80 dollars or so to a collector.

That Boulder was pregnant and he helped it have its baby!!

The mineral isn't important, the quality of the specimen is what makes it a great find! Smoky quarky though but could be wrong.
highkeyloki
It’s Vibranium
dumbinsults
That's the face I made when I thought I was out of candy but I found a twizzler in the sofa. It's probably worth like a nickel.
Imhereforthelurking
Considering all the stores that would sell it for about 150 at least, it's probably worth a decent dinner.
paulssisisssssii
Why is the open crystal part of the rock sitting on a towel if it was not removed yet ??? You know what I mean ?
MoreAwesomerDan
He could feel by hand that there were crystals and wanted to protect it.
Blubberpet
He probably shoved the towel under there so he wouldn't damage them while he broke the whole thing loose.
SmartAssX
Like 50$ valuable from a museum
PopeyeTheSailor
youre missing a 0 at the end of that, size like that goes for an easy $500 +
GrampaJack
more like $500 - that's a huge chunk
zoezoebelle
Based on a quick lookup on Etsy, doubtful. Single crystals that size are going for less than $200.
GrampaJack
Just bare crystals? Nothing extra? Time to clean out Grampa Jacks closet!
zoezoebelle
Yep. You could probably make a few hundred bucks if your grandpa liked collecting quartz.

looks like smoky quarts. not worth a ton, but fun to hunt, and a find like this is pretty stellar.
ouchmyhair
Super fun to find it yourself! I love rock hunting as soon as it gets warm. If I found that I would probably cry happy tears
EnderPanda13
It's actually worth more in the rock it formed from, mineral and gem collectors dream for something that big.
Oogibah
Ha you haven't been to many gypsy shops or earthbound have you, probably sell that for 300+

You say not worth much, you've obviously never been into a hippy crystal store, something that size would sell for $500-$1k here
MeSoErnie
Which isn't much in the gem and mineral world...
kadaeux
Factoring in that you've got to fund hunting it down, if that's all you get, odds are you just lost money. Maybe a lot.
DrSuvat
It’s a hobby isn’t it? Finding gems. Kinda like metal detecting from my understanding (not 100% sure)
kadaeux
For some people sure. But given how many of the new age type shops sell geodes and related crystals, there needs to be some profit in it.

Geological surveying and visual markers of the surface stone, as well as chemical sampling of substrate.

Most states have geological maps of the types of rocks, and there's a science on rock formation to study. Geology! \o/

Yep some sort of quartz geode, probably a vughy infill in a lava. Chaotic crystals which means something about to formation but I forget

Like when a lava bubbles, some of the bubbles freeze when it cools down and then quartz grows in the space.

if you lived your whole life without money then Yes, if your parents are super rich and you are super rich your whole life then no
Strangeboke
Up to about 70k/year, yeah. Past that it just makes you more stressed. Already at 70k a year, so I guess its all downhill from here.
YouwontlikewhatIhavetosay
Depends. Money can buy forms of happiness, money can even buy forms of love/affection. It cannot buy unconditional/true love though.
