adam Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 It was a great day up in the pine trees this Sunday past. I always enjoy digging in the dirt for a day looking for these killer crystals.Got lucky and ended up with pretty good haul of nice quality ones too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldfinger Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Some more nice finds!!! The double terminated crystals on matrix is really nice.. Have you been out looking for more flourite?Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Shooter Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Very nice finds and that was indeed a good day out. Finally cooling off here in the AZ deserts.... Well into low 90s anyway :yuk-yuk: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Thanks guys ...Heres a shot of a pocket I hit a couple years ago. The pocket yielded like 16 crystals if I recall:Steve, I have not been to the fluorite spot all summer as it is in the low desert. As soon as it cools down, I will do some more digging on the seam that produced the specimens earlier in the year.Heres a pic of a large Amethyst pocket in a mine near the Fluorite/Amethyst digs:This is a video I did inside the mine that has the pocket above. I`m to chicken to remove the plates of crystals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely ruined a trio of trilobite specimens in limestone at Grafton a long time ago. I course I was young back then..... and didn't know any better.... Thanks for the video though..

adam Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Steve , this spot has been alot of fun, and I am still thinking about claiming it. I wish I had access to the original (now caved) workings. I couldnt imagine the insane specimens that are down there. Fluorite ,amethyst ,and cerussite are always good combinations. But lets face it, if you dont make the money off of the specimens to cover the claim fees, there really isnt much hope for it to prosper. I would like to lead groups out there if I claimed it...
