Amazonite & Smoky Quartz Pocket Play | Crystal Collaboration in the Tarryalls

The discovery of this pocket was introduced in the last video that took place in the redskin stock of the Tarryall Mountains, Colorado.

Discovery: While en route to a different pocket, Travis Pearson demonstrated his adept crystal-ray vision when a lone piece of pegmatite caught his eye. It’s wild to me that I saw the same rock and didn’t make anything of it. However, the longstanding relationship that Travis has built with minerals provided him with a different interpretation than my own. He commented, “We should definitely test here before continuing our trek.” I curiously obliged and began scanning the surface for any fragments of quartz or feldspar. There was absolutely no faced forms on the surface, just that one piece of pegmatite with small interlocking grains. Minutes later and at a depth of ~15cm, small smokies and a pale blue amazonite appeared. Once again Travis, amazing tracking skills in locating this pocket.

This video documents three days of pocket play with Travis, Gatlind, and Noah Pearson. The third day commences with nature spirit Megan Pinkston (Crystals of Arkansas collaboration).

As of November, this is the best pocket featured on this channel. In gratitude, there will be a giveaway for an assortment of smoky quartz and amazonite crystals collected from this pocket. Thank you everyone for your support and uplifting comments which motivate future videos. Giveaway will take place on the winter solstice of 2024, be sure to check this video for the details.
