Pilbara, Gascoyne Synopsis
In the hostile Australian Outback, five courageous crystal hunting teams confront extreme conditions, from scorching deserts to frigid underground mines, in a bid to unearth some of the world’s rarest and breathtaking crystals. Fuelled by celebrity endorsements and a four-trillion-dollar-a-year global wellness industry, the crystal trade is booming, and Australia has some of the most ancient & richest deposits on earth. Outback Crystal Hunters are on a quest to uncover these geological marvels - from giant million-dollar Amethyst clusters to magical, colour-changing Zircons. All these impassioned crystal hunters are driven to unearth and showcase these ancient wonders to the world while hungry to secure a life-changing payday.Produced in Western Australia on the Traditional Country of the Noongar Whadjuk peoples
