While digging in Abbeville I pulled this large crystal out of the side of a dirt wall. I found a cluster of downed trees and went through their roots and found it. I have noticed trees bind to crystals underground and when trees upturn you can get to these crystals. I wonder if the roots and crystals work together in some way.
So far this is the biggest and most amazing cluster I have found yet, hoping if I dig for a few more years ill find another one to beat this one.

Thank you and thanks for resteeming my post. Good to see your back to posting and curating @bitfiend
Alright, I think it is an issue on dtube's site. I have finally got time and then I am not able to watch your videos.
@gandalfthewhite
Yeah d.tube seems to have issues with playback sometimes. Ive started using bit.tube as a mirror so check out the links under Mirror to see if that plays for you.
Alright, thank you very much. I will.
Too sad! I could never life at a place without ocean 😅

Yeah it sure is a keeper, I have found many small coin sized pieces up to golf ball sized crystals but this one by far is the most massive.
Unfortunately you can't find any crystals here in Germany, but we are looking for fossils on the beach 🌊🗿

@kiel91
Oh gotcha, well your lucky to have beaches. I would have to travel all day to to get one.
That is a splendid find. :-)
@manorvillemike
Thank you, I keep it on my desk to look at all the time.
What a great way to celebrate #fridaysrock!
@snowyknight
Hah yeah been saving it for a few weeks now, glad everyone likes it too.
Hope I find a bigger one yet in the future.
That is a nice piece, beauty!
@photovisions
Appreciated, It looked alot more rough when I first pulled it from the ground but I quickly realized it was a beauty while cleaning it.
Such a beautiful piece! I really like the colors in the crystal. Thank you for joining #fridaysrock. Now I'm curious about the possible relationship between the crystal and the roots of the tree.
@nat-expressions
Thank you, yeah it has little spots all over it but mostly a milky white. And me too, makes me wonder.. hah
glad to be part of #fridayrocks
Nice find @solominer. Tree roots are interesting. Out here in California they are known to hold gold nuggets in them. No one is sure if the roots grow around them or if the nuggets get trapped during floods.
@rt395
Oh nice, California has those big nuggets. We just have gold dust is hard rock and have to use acids to get them out for the most part. Or pan for it on the river.
Good to know tree roots do that to nuggets too, I think many experienced rockhounds go for tree roots as we mentioned.
thanks for the comment and checking out my post.
