Fluorite GLOWED in This Mine… and It’s a GOLD Clue

🎁 We’re giving away a Gold Monster 1000, a Keene 140S dry washer (blower + hose), a Keene puffer dry washer, and 10 bags of paydirt from our drift mine. Hit the icon at the end of the video — make a $10 pledge and you qualify to get your hands on it. Fluorite is more than a pretty crystal — it can be an indicator mineral for GOLD. Today we go inside an old mine, follow fissure veins and basalt dikes, smell heavy sulfur, and hit the blacklight to reveal glowing fluorite + calcite in the cracks. In this episode I break down hanging wall vs footwall, fault planes, contact zones, parallel veins, and why old-timers drove crosscuts where they did. You’ll see how hydrothermal fluids altered the host rock, where manganese oxides show up, and why the best mineral assemblages often sit along the hanging wall and chill margins. ⚠️ SAFETY NOTE: Old mines can collapse and contain bad air. Don’t enter without proper training, gear, and a partner/spotter. 👍 Smash that like button, subscribe, and drop a comment: Do you collect fluorite, or do you use it as a gold indicator? 00:00 Mining for Fluorite 00:45 Waterfall Gold Traps 01:20 Faults, Dikes & Structure 02:40 Hydrothermal Alteration 03:55 Sulfur Smell & Heat 05:10 Old Miner Crosscuts 06:20 Natural Fissures 07:35 Calcite, Manganese & Fluorite 08:45 Parallel Veins 10:00 Fluorite GLOWS (Blacklight) 11:20 Vein Junctions 12:45 Barren Rhyolite 14:00 Alteration Clues 15:20 Backfilled Drifts 16:40 Boiling Zones 18:20 Gold Target Zones 19:30 Dendritic Iron 21:00 Stoping Areas 22:10 “Gibson Hair” Explained 23:40 Mine Safety Warning 25:00 Dikes & Chill Margins 26:30 Missed Gold 27:45 Sampling Strategy 29:10 Contact Zones 30:30 Fluorite as a Gold Clue 33:00 Giveaway Details 34:00 Outro #askjeffwilliams #gold #prospecting #mining #geology
