Join me, Bryan Major, also known as the Crystal Collector, along with my trusty dog Matrix, on an exciting adventure to Mohawk Valley Mineral Mining in Sprakers, New York. This public digging site, nestled in the heart of the Mohawk Valley, offers crystal enthusiasts a unique opportunity to unearth stunning Herkimer diamonds—remarkable quartz crystals formed hundreds of millions of years ago.
In this video, we dive into the thrill of crystal hunting, exploring both the loose dirt and the tougher rock layers to uncover beautiful crystal pockets. While sometimes luck can be elusive, Mohawk Valley Mineral Mining has yielded some of the largest Herkimer diamonds ever discovered in the region. Scott, the dedicated owner, is always on hand to assist and works tirelessly to make this mine a top-notch destination for visitors.
This week was nothing short of spectacular, with plenty of incredible finds captured on camera. Join us for a highlight reel of the best moments, showcasing the fun and excitement of crystal digging at one of New York’s most promising spots!
