The Inyo Mountains of California have much more to offer than just Gold and Silver. In this video we go exploring for three days mining for one of the rarest crystals in North America. From the depths of Cerro Gordo to the boomtown region of Benton Range, this area is home to some of the only few known locations in North America, and the world where these crystals develop, and we're on a mission to find them.

This is part one of a hopefully three part series. I hope you all enjoy the start of my biggest series to date!
