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.

Filming in Western Australia

“As Executive Producer for Outback Crystal Hunters, I can’t speak highly enough of filming in Western Australia.”

“The vastness and dramatic landscapes weren’t just a backdrop – they became a vital character in our stories. From scorching deserts to the most ancient rock formations on earth, WA offered a hugely diverse and visually stunning palette that perfectly complemented the thrilling hunt for crystals.”

– Robin Shingleton – Executive Producer/Series Producer /Outback Crystal Hunters – Season One.
