We Found a FORTUNE in Dayna Blue!

Dayna Blue has become one of the most popular stones we’ve ever brought to the rock and gem shows… and we were almost completely out. That meant it was time for a rushed trip back to the quarry to collect more of this beautiful and extremely rare variety of Ocean Picture Stone. What we expected to be a quick supply run quickly turned into something MUCH bigger. The quarry absolutely delivered. By the end of the day, we had extracted more Dayna Blue than ever before, the biggest haul we have ever taken from this quarry, and by far the highest value we’ve ever recovered in a single day. With incredible blues, patterns, and material quality coming out of the wall, this turned into one of the most exciting quarry trips we’ve had in a very long time. If you love lapidary stone, rockhounding, mining, gemstones, and seeing rare material collected right at the source, you’re going to LOVE this episode. Dayna Blue is a rare subset of Ocean Picture Stone found here in British Columbia, known for its incredible blue tones and natural landscape-like patterns formed through hydrothermal alteration in ancient ultramafic rock. #Rockhounding #Lapidary #OceanPictureStone #Mining #Gemstones #DanHurdProspecting #RockCollecting #BritishColumbia #Quarry #RareStone _______________ Dan's website, paydirt, store, and auctions: https://danhurdprospecting.com SUBSCRIBE BY CLICKING THIS LINK: https://www.youtube.com/user/Galidain?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW ME AROUND THE WEB AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA AT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dan_hurd_prospecting Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/Danhurd Website -- http://www.danhurdprospecting.com Facebook -- http://www.facebook.com/danhurdgold SPONSORS: Arbor Fabricating classifiers use this link: http://arborfab.com/Prospecting_c_37.html 10% discount code: danhurd Links: Dan's hat: https://amzn.to/2LU34Ou This video is produced by Dan Hurd, Prospector, Miner, Teacher and YouTuber, as part of his YouTube channel based on educational videos about gold mining, gold panning, prospecting, rock hounding, and mineral collecting. #goldpanning #gemhunting #findinggold
