Rhodochrosite Red Treasure of the Rockies documentary

This video is a copy of our original Silver Mountain Productions documentary about the beautiful mineral rhodochrosite and the Sweet Home mine in Colorado that produced the best specimens. The Telly Award winning video was originally released on DVD in 2004, and now we have upscaled it to 1080 HD and 4K resolution for digital download. The video is about 87 minutes long. If you want to see some clips of the video, please visit our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@SilverMountainProductions . Our YouTube channel will also have bonus videos that were not included on the original DVD so please give us a visit and check back occasionally!

The video's main topic is the modern-day mineral specimen hunt for world-class Rhodochrosite crystals in the historic Sweet Home Mine in Colorado. It documents the 1990s and 2000s operation led by Collector's Edge, detailing the mine's history, the geological science that explained crystal formation, the development of specialized mining techniques, and the difficult business decisions required to successfully extract the rare red treasure.

The DVD version is no longer available for sale so this is the only source of the complete video!
