We dug some amazing quartz crystals the other day here in Virginia! These crystals are water clear, and they are very "beautiful beautiful"! It seems like I said that 100 times! I hope everyone enjoys the video!! I hope that in time, I will be able to produce better movies with better programs and video gear!! These beautiful clear quartz crystals are found locally here in Virginia! The crystals are found in the residual soil with little effort needed to find them! Simply dig, sift, and wahlah! These crystals are found in what used to be Alpine-Type Fissures! The crystals have long since weathered out and broken away from the main host rock (Red/white Sandstone)! Most of the points are single clear crystals ranging from .5" to 1" and the largest coming in at 3inches!!!! The clarity of these crystals resemble the well liked Arkansas quartz that have been a collectors favorite for many years! Even though the size is smaller, the clarity and size make these perfect for wire wrappers and others interested in jewelry! We are sure that this place has more hidden secrets than we know! Double terminated crystals can be found at this location! A lot of the quartz crystals contain fractures that have allowed hematite to seep into them creating a very unique yellow, red, orange look inside of the crystals! The plates that are found contain so much hematite that the cleaning process is very difficult, so we usually just enjoy them as they are found! Enjoy the pictures!! More will come in time!!!
