Goldfinger Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Adam, the ones I saw must have came from that area then. Really spectacular like your so I assumed that's where your specimen came from. Didn't realize hematite specimens were also found in the Quartzsite area.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
