Collecting Dallasite - Vancouver Islands' Official Gemstone!

Dallasite is a brecciated jasper and semi-precious gemstone that forms between the pillows of basalt extruded under the ocean millions of years ago. Named by Pioneer Pauly's grandfather, this gemstone is named after Dallas Road in Victoria, BC, where it was first discovered. In this video Jack collects beautiful specimens of Dallasite along a creek. The site is rich and finding the specimens wet makes it truly amazing. When you discover an amazing rock and when that rock is cut open to reveal it inner beauty, the feeling of pure joy you can experience is equal to that of finding a gold nugget, and the rock can be extremely valuable too. Our videos offer you this experience as we constantly find new and beautiful and valuable gem and crystal material. Many of our discoveries may some day be in the Crystal Bible!
