1. My First Mineral Hunt
2. My First Mineral Hunt
3. What is this? What's this?
4. What? Is this a crystal? A real crystal?
5. Whoa, I think I really want this.
6. It's so shiny and clear.
7. It's too much.
8. Ruri, how long are you gonna
keep looking at pebbles?
9. It's not like you have the money to buy it.
10. What are you talking about?
11. If I ask, I bet I can find ten or
twenty people to buy it for me.
12. Puh-lease!
13. Puh-lease!
14. Give me an advance on next month's allowance!
15. No. You don't need to buy that.
16. But it's so cute.
17. I'll even let you borrow it.
18. It's a real crystal.
19. A crystal?
20. Grandpa used to bring those back all the time
21. when he'd go pick wild plants.
22. Actually, crystals are collected abroad.
23. You can't just find them
on the ground around here.
24. They're those pointy clear things, right?
25. What?
26. Do you still have those?
27. They didn't interest me,
so I gave them all away.
28. Why? What a waste!
29. Don't ask me.
30. In any case, I'm not giving you
an advance on your allowance.
31. Here.
32. Aw, what?
33. Did Grandpa pick wild plants
at those mountains
34. where I took all those field trips?
35. That's right.
36. City Bus
Southern Trail
Entrance
37. Let's keep our
mountains clean
38. If he could find them while picking plants,
I should be able to find some, too.
39. And if I can gather them myself,
40. I can make all the cute and
luxurious accessories I want.
41. Everyone's gonna be so jealous.
42. That said, I'm not sure I believe it.
43. It's too close to home.
44. I guess I'll try wandering
around the mountains.
45. I'm sure I'll find something
if I go deep enough.
46. Bears In Area
47. Bears In Area
48. Th-This doesn't scare me one bit.
49. I paid 500 yen to take the bus here.
50. This area will do.
51. Rock...
52. Rock...
53. Rock... rock... rock...
54. Rock, rock, rock!
55. Just plain old rocks!
56. I'm starting to feel like
I'll never find anything.
57. Whoops.
58. What are you sitting there for?
59. Are you not feeling well?
60. Oh, I'm actually looking for crys...
61. Uh, I mean, my shoelaces...
62. As long as you're not in trouble.
63. Be careful out there.
64. Hey, wait!
65. Do you know a lot about rocks?
66. I know a bit.
67. I-I heard that I could find
c-crystals around here...
68. Crystals?
69. In that case, they're off the
trail, but they're back there.
70. What?
71. Really?
72. T-Take me there!
73. What? But I...
74. Oh, fine.
75. I'm Ruri Tanigawa.
76. Nagi Arato. I'm a graduate student.
77. Do you like rocks?
78. I like studying them.
79. Huh.
80. Uh, what's that huge hammer for?
81. Oh, this?
82. I found it at the flea market the other day.
83. It's a war hammer that washed
up here from overseas.
84. It was made to be used, so its center
of gravity is in the exact right place.
85. I bought it to split stones.
86. I wanted to try it out today.
87. I'm looking forward to it.
88. Is she a sketchy person?
89. My butt hurts.
90. Nagi-san!
91. What is it? Again?
92. It doesn't look like there's
a trail here at all.
93. Don't worry. This is the right way.
94. Are you sure? We're not lost, are we?
95. Look at those rocks.
96. See how their surface is black?
97. That's basalt made from solidified lava.
98. Meanwhile, across from
those is sedimentary rock.
99. That's gray limestone.
100. Trees are all the same, but all
rocks have different faces.
101. Don't worry. We're not lost.
102. We're almost there. You can do it.
103. Okay.
104. Almost there? Yeah, right.
105. My legs and butt hurt, and I
keep getting caught on things.
106. Nobody said it would be like this.
107. There's a fallen tree.
108. Ow!
109. I'm sick of this, I'm sick
of this, I'm sick of this!
110. I should've just bought
my crystals at the store.
111. Even if I found one now, I
wouldn't be happy at all.
112. Ruri-chan.
113. Look.
114. Wow!
115. Crystals! Real crystals!
116. They really were here!
117. Over there, too!
118. And here!
119. And here!
120. And there!
121. Nagi-san, Nagi-san! Look at all of these!
122. Quite the sight, isn't it?
123. It's called a pegmatite deposit.
124. Bedrock
125. Cooling and Hardening
126. Magma
127. Up to Dozens of
Kilometers Underground
128. It's formed by magma seeping
into the cracks in bedrock.
129. Cracks
130. When that happens, some
of the magma vaporizes,
131. Cavities aren't circular due to being
stretched by the flow of magma.
132. Water
133. or Carbon Dioxide
134. Gasses
135. but the gas can't escape,
so it gets trapped within the magma
136. and creates cavities.
137. The crystals form inside that cavity.
138. The cavity is called a druse or geode, and—
139. Ruri-chan?
140. This one's nice. This one's pretty, too.
141. I'm taking them all home.
142. Remember, we have to walk back.
143. Choose carefully.
144. Oh?
145. I want this one.
146. Come on! Break, you little...!
147. Ruri-chan, want me to do it?
148. Huh?
149. It's mine, okay? You know that, right?
150. Watch for flying shards. Stand back.
151. Man, this quartzite sure is hard.
152. No way. That didn't work either?
153. Okay. Time to use this thing.
154. I should apologize in advance.
155. My hands might slip and break the crystals.
156. Don't do that. Break it off cleanly.
157. It's black. Is that okay?
158. Yes. I can handle it.
159. It blows me away no matter
how many times I see it.
160. It must've taken an incredible amount of
161. energy, time, and coincidence
for nature to create this sight.
162. It's way too big and grand
for me to understand.
163. I see.
164. But this rock is my treasure.
165. It's probably the prettiest
rock in the world.
166. That much I do understand.
167. I didn't think there were
places like this in Japan.
168. Crystals are the most common mineral.
169. They may differ in scale, but there are
places you can collect them everywhere.
170. Most people just don't know it.
171. Huh.
172. Pacific
Plate
173. Philippine
Sea Plate
174. Eurasian
(Amurian)
Plate
175. North American (Okhotsk) Plate
176. Four tectonic plates press against
each other beneath this country.
177. They cause natural disasters,
178. but they also make this country one of
the world's top mineral producers.
179. Rubies, sapphires, topazes,
gold, silver, and bronze.
180. Even diamonds that were said
not to exist here were found.
181. There's no other place where you can
182. collect practically every major
precious stone in such a small area.
183. Could I collect those, too?
184. Well, we're up against nature here.
185. You'll need a bit of knowledge.
186. Then...
187. Then teach me, Nagi-san!
188. Sorry, sorry. You're pretty pushy.
189. I'm thinking about hunting for garnet soon.
190. Garnet?
191. Would you like to come with me?
192. Yes!

200. Garnet
201. A natural abrasive.
Used since
ancient times.
202. A synthetic
abrasive.
Same composition
as rubies and sapphires.
203. A synthetic
abrasive.
Scientifically
known as
moissanite.
204. In addition to being a gemstone, garnet has been used
as an abrasive due to its hardness since ancient times.
Some sandpaper sold in the modern era is brown. If the letter "G" is written on the back, it means the abrasive used is garnet.
If you look closely at the surface, you may see impurities of other colors, which indicates that the garnet used is natural.
Until recently, Japan used garnet produced in Japan for its sandpaper. Garnet from Gunma Prefecture contains black amphibolite, and garnet
from Nara Prefecture contains sapphire on rare occasions. Due to their similar specific gravity, they likely could not be completely separated.
Even ordinary sandpaper can reveal the traits of the location where it was produced when you change your perspective.
Take a look at the sandpaper section the next time you visit a home improvement store.
205. Parking Lot
206. Garnet.
207. Ga-ga-ga-garnet, garnet.
208. We've walked pretty far.
209. Is there someplace around here?
210. Looks like we can get down from there.
211. Ruri-chan, let's go check it out.
212. Nagi-san, we're friends, aren't we?
213. Call me Ruri.
214. Okay. Let's go, Ruri.
215. Let's go!
216. There's more of a trail than I expected.
217. People must pass through here often.
218. Someone split stones here.
219. They're close. I know they're close.
220. The garnets are close!
221. Oh? There's something there.
222. Is this where they are?
223. Collecting minerals in these mountains is
Prohibited
224. Forest Management Division
225. Huh? What?
226. Well, there's not much we can do.
227. Wh-What do you mean?
228. I mean exactly what I said.
229. Unfortunately, we can't go any farther.
230. I thought we'd be all right since this
place was written about in a book.
231. But nobody's watching.
232. Sorry. I'm not doing it.
233. Screw this dumb sign!
234. Hey, there's no point in
taking it out on objects.
235. But Nagi-san, if not for
this thing, we could—
236. No. If you're going to do that,
237. I won't be able to take you places anymore.
238. Will you fix your behavior?
239. Okay...
240. If we're not allowed to do it,
we have to obey the rules.
241. No ifs, ands, or buts.
242. Sometimes it's due to risk of landslides
243. or because environmental
protection is required.
244. As outsiders, there's a
lot we might not notice,
245. but there's always a reason why it's prohibited.
246. Okay, but I wish we could've
hunted for stones.
247. Then let's do that.
248. What? Nagi-san, do you know other
places where we can find some?
249. No, but I doubt this is the
only place we can get them.
250. Rocks move far more than we think.
251. Rocks move, huh?
252. Nah, rocks don't move.
253. Ruri, come here.
254. Coming.
255. Here we'll use a sifter instead of a hammer.
256. Hey, Nagi-san.
257. Are there really garnets at
the bottom of the river?
258. Yeah. Shovel some gravel into
the sifter and sift it well.
259. Really?
260. But this is a totally different
place from those mountains.
261. It might seem strange to look
for garnets someplace far away.
262. But you could search this whole river and
263. you'd never find a stone
that was here to begin with.
264. It's true that garnets start off in
the mountains far away from here.
265. The stones exposed to wind
and rain in the mountains...
266. break down and eventually tumble down.
267. Then they're carried by the
river's currents and worn down.
268. At first glance, they may seem far away,
269. but this river is actually connected
to the garnets on that mountain.
270. That's just my theory, though.
271. I don't know if we'll actually find—
272. Nagi-san!
273. That's a pretty crystal.
274. It's a garnet.
275. Yes! Yes! Yes!
276. I'm glad we found one.
277. All right! Yeah!
278. They really did flow all the way here.
279. Well, now I don't want
to leave empty-handed.
280. All right! Let's find some more!
281. Nothing. There's nothing here.
282. Any luck, Nagi-san?
283. I only found two.
284. Two whole crystals? No fair!
285. Are you using some special method?
286. A special method?
287. Garnets have a high specific gravity.
288. In other words, it's a heavy mineral.
289. Once they settle,
290. Specific Gravity
291. it requires more force to move them
compared to lighter materials,
292. so they don't move as much where
293. Settle
Specific Gravity
294. the current is weaker and
tend to accumulate there.
295. Strong Force
296. So...
297. Please, Nagi-san! In simpler terms!
298. Large rocks block currents and slow them,
making garnets likely to accumulate
299. Here
300. In that case, look downstream
from large rocks.
301. The current slows down, so
garnets tend to gather there.
302. Big rocks? Big rocks, huh...
303. That's a big rock!
304. But it's on the opposite shore.
305. We'd probably find garnets there, though.
306. We'll be fine if we find
a shallow place to cross.
307. I promise to get you there
safely, so you can count on me.
308. O-Okay, let's go find some rocks!
309. Found one!
310. Wow. All these traveled
here from that mountain.
311. When you first said that rocks move,
I wasn't sure what you meant,
312. but it's actually pretty simple
once you understand it.
313. They fall into the river from the
mountain, flow down the river,
314. and eventually end up in the ocean.
315. That's how it works, right?
316. Actually, their journey
doesn't end at the ocean.
317. But there's nowhere else for them to go.
318. Take the summit of Mt. Everest.
319. That was once at the bottom of the sea.
320. Sometimes rocks climb up mountains
from the bottom of the sea.
321. The area around the summit was underwater 460 million years ago.
Marine organisms such as trilobites and sea lilies can be found there.
322. Magma
323. Continental Plate
324. Oceanic
Plate
325. Parts of rocks containing seawater melt
at a certain depth and turn into magma.
326. If they get caught in
the movement of plates,
327. they can go underground and
become part of a volcano.
328. If it erupts, they can even fly.
329. Their movement is less limited than humans.
330. To us, they look like they're standing still
331. because they operate on a timescale
so different from ours.
332. Rocks move on a scale of thousands
and millions of years.
333. That perspective is important to
consider when collecting minerals.
334. It can be useful for finding
hunting grounds, like today.
335. Does that mean you know
where the garnets are?
336. Then let's keep looking.
337. If we were to look for more,
338. we should go upstream.
339. Was there a landslide in the tributary?
340. Looks like it happened a long time ago.
341. The currents here are complex.
342. Somewhere around here should be...
343. Ruri.
344. Look.
345. Maybe I should've gathered more.
346. What would you even do with more?
347. There were a ton of just garnets there.
348. Does that really happen naturally?
349. The complex currents created by that
place probably separated the minerals.
350. Minerals have different specific
gravities, so it's not impossible.
351. It requires an incredibly specific balance,
like crossing a tightrope of spider silk.
352. Right now, the stones there are worn down
by the river and move around every day.
353. It could be days or centuries
until that balance collapses.
354. So it'll be gone eventually.
355. What a waste.
356. Shall we head back, Ruri?
357. Okay.
358. Watch this, Nagi-san.
359. There!
360. That rock will flow to the ocean, right?
361. Eventually, yeah.
362. In a million years, will it end up
on top of a mountain like Everest?
363. Maybe.
364. Actually, a meteor strike could
send it flying into space.
365. Yeah, right. Seriously?
366. Puh-lease!
367. Puh-lease!
368. Give me an advance on next month's allowance!
