A Few Days in Arizona ...
The purpose of his endeavor is to figuratively visit Arizona (the Grand Canyon State) for a few days and engage in studying Geology and other Earth Science-related subjects by way of posts, videos, and links.
Arizona is important to me as I have had family connections to Phoenix (and briefly Flagstaff) for more than 60 years. After Georgia, Texas, and New Mexico, Arizona is probably the fourth state in which I have spent the most time.

Why Are There 96,000,000 Red Gem Stones on This Beach!
From watching part of this video, I didn't catch where this place was, but I gather it is too far from Georgia to consider a visit.
Not quite the same thing, but one of my Geo-Bucket List items is to see and get some samples of the garnet beach sands at Montauk Point, Long Island, NY. There was a fair percentage of garnets in the local shoreline sands along the Hudson River, in front of the Portside Towers in Jersey City. The source of the NJ garnets was the outcrops of metamorphic rocks and the erosion of glacial till upriver and nearby.
