Garnet Gemstone In The "Wah Wah" Mountains: A Rockhounding Adventure!

Shadow and I Rockhound and find beautiful Garnets. The Wah Wah Mountain Range in South Central Utah is known for Garnets formed in Dolomite stone. Rockhounding for these Garnets is not easy. But with persistence we found beautiful Green Garnets, Amber Garnets, Black Garnets, and Clear Garnets. In this video we also talk about Garnets: what they are made of, used for, and their role as a precious gem since the dawn of time. We also want to give credit to Jared and Sarah  @CurrentlyRockhounding  who did a video from this location and shared the coordinates as well as their wealth of knowledge. If you would like the coordinates, please leave a comment and I will send them to you.
