This video was really interesting!! Not only where you were and what you were doing but the way you filmed it. The mix of color and black and white, the sped up and still shots, the music and printed messages.. all that was A LOT of work and I think it made for a pretty dang cool video!! Thank you for taking the time to make this one!!!

I was recently out there and I was surprised of the crystals that I got from out of that area. As you said they are very delicate when they come out. It was well worth the trip going out there.

What do you do with the crystals once you find them?

[TheRockIslandRock]

Gyp crystals are about everywhere and not nearly as far away.
