adam 3,137 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Mrs. Boulder dash, boulder dash, and I all entered a mine tunnel and located a seam of Wulfenite .. Cerussite was abundant as well but few defined crystals were found. I`m definitely heading back to dig on the seam with propper tools. Field of view is about one inch. 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomH 2,888 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Cool find Adam Does that stuff make all kinds of cool colors if you put a UV light on it? I was playing around with some of my rocks and it is amazing the colors that appear. Tom H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adam 3,137 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 HI Tom, I do not own a short wave lamp, but sure wish I did. Maybe someday I can pick up a portable one. Thats a great question. Wickenburg area has alot of fluorescents. Look up the purple passion mine 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wet/dry washer 197 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 wit, don and me made a trip to red cloud mine north of yuma in 1975. wit went down on a boarswain chair and very carefully chip them out and fill an egg carton. ended up with 18 dozen. red crystals. sure didn't take long to sell them. don has a couple left in his show case, along with a fozzelized 7" rib bone with many other gem stones. every time me stops to see don, admire them. .
