Watched two half hour episodes last night and they were......wait for it *L*.....awe----some! Both episodes were in Colorado and for crystals, amazonite, smoky quartz, aquamarine and fluorite, and were nicely done and thoroughly enjoyable. Being an acrophobe myself, I found the cliffs etc a little scary even to watch but I still liked the shows a lot. I did think, as with that other show that was on a couple of years ago, that they inflate the values of their finds to make it seem more exciting. Now if they'd only do agates or jasper....Mel

I watched both episodes too and thought it was a great show. Scheduled the series to record on my dvr. I have an Amazonite specimen that Dicky sent me from Lake George (also another one I have from someone else from Crystal Peak). It was super cool seeing the terrain/conditions these came from!!!
