Destination Unknown P3 - Topaz!!!

This is a short video I put together showing my trip to Topaz Mountain, then down to Cedar City, Parowan Gap, Brian Head and finally Cedar Breaks National Monument.

The last half of the video shows me digging up an incredible topaz specimen out of the rhyolite. I pulled about 5 more crystals as well as another twin crystal out of the same hole, but not as clear.

Here is the full video of me digging the topaz out.

I often hear how stressed out people are over their jobs, crypto, etc. Nothing recharges your batteries like getting out into nature, especially where there is no cell service. Try it next time you're about to lose​ it. It's additionally rewarding if you happen to be in an area where you can collect gems and minerals!

It was an awesome weekend and I can't wait to head back up later this summer!

The song is by Insomniax "Fly Hiya" available on Viper Recordings.

nature is wonderful. I want to copy your way of recharging my batteries.I wish I could walk through this beautiful scenery.🌸

You can, it's not going anywhere. You just have to really want to. Until then, there are plenty of beautiful places in Japan to walk around. I like Kamakura.

I love Kinki area too. I make it a rule to go to Kyoto once a year.

Looks like a fun trip, topaz digger. :) "Nothing recharges your batteries like getting out into nature, especially where there is no cell service. " So true!

Every day when I am out in the mountains I can't check my Blockfolio like this morning. Those days are TOTALLY stress free! 😭
