Rimshot 181 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Nice finds Adam! How do you pluck those from the mother rock? Chisel/pliers? Like pulling teeth?Rim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adam 3,127 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks everyone....I like people to see what other treasures Arizona hides as well as gold . I still prefer detecting thoughRim, most of the crystals are already loose/broken off from the host. Some of them grow as floaters (terminated on all sides) Some full clusters can be found , although I have yet to find a decent one. It is a terrific amount of work to obtain good crystals at this site. It requires large picks, sledge hammers, pry bars,shovels......well you get the idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
