Rockhounding for Incredible Banded Onyx Flowers! (filmed last year)
Channel: The Rugged Rockhound

A little about this video that I filmed almost a year ago:
After filming, I learned that we came really close to an active claim in this area that actively mines the flowering tube onyx. Because of this, I decided to hold off on posting the video until I could find more information. After careful study, we found out that we were a fair distance down the hill from the actual claim, digging into a small layer that isn't part of the claim. We later visited the claim just to see what it looked like, and it has much bigger and better pieces than we found by far! I did not keep any material from the claim, and until I get permission from the claim owner I will not be visiting the claim again. Overall, I was happy that we managed to discover great material from a different deposit outside the claim. After all of this research, I decided to save the video until I felt like it was a good time to post, and I think right now is a good time!
