Sweet day on the digs!
Check out some of the sweet purple Fluorite I got while out digging with Anita. This small Fluorite plate is going to clean up nicely. After cleaning it off more, they look to be very deep purple.

Over the weekend I went up to the claim and met up with friends to search for where the topaz came from. We didn't find any more topaz but I did find a pegmatite exposure that had not been looked at yet. I worked this new pegmatite for most of the weekend and it produced a few fluorite crystals and about a hundred quartz crystals most of which were double terminated, tabular/flat and included with goethite and mica making them sparkle several different colors.
Here is my best find from the peg, a pale green fluorite with a cluster of quartz attached.
Some of the quartz crystals.
This smokey has a microcline crystal attached and a white phantom inside. The termination was a little damaged by nature.
