Goldfinger 43 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Adam, Thanks for posting. All are gorgeous as usual.. Did that hematite on quartz come from an area near Bouse? Terrific find as the rest of them.Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goldfinger 43 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 post Share on other sites
