Here is a fun little video where I dig out some crystals and a friend shows how she wire wraps one of them:

Another nice video! Thanks! I really like how you were plucking those crystals out of the dirt.  That was a good basic wire tutorial, too. |

In other videos where I was scraping at the dirt and little crystals were falling freely, I would say "make it rain". My 15 year old daughter told me to "stop saying that", because it is about tossing dollar bills at strippers (in rap songs). I learn something new every day. LOL

I didn't know that either. LOL!! Kids, they save us from soooo much. |

Great job on this post! You hit a really nice pocket of crystals. I like to make items from material that I have personally taken out of the ground too. Some of your apatite (aragonite?) crystals look like they would take a nice face polish which would look good in the wire wraps.

I also have some quartz crystals that I collected recently that I should try to do the same because they have a dusty white film which muriatic won't remove. |
