I invited all of the Colorado Prospector Club Members to join me on my claim last weekend and we found some nice Goethite, Fluorite and Quartz crystals!
Thanks everyone for coming! A special thanks to those who helped with transportation and to the CP Club for making this possible. On Saturday most of us attacked an older dig that has produced some large and unique Goethite in the past. I found a few nice smokey quartz crystals and Dave found a nice blue fluorite cube but it was mostly unproductive. Determined to find big Goethite specimens I went uphill and started tearing at a newer dig that has also produced large Goethite. After digging for the last few hours of the day in the newer spot I found a nice combo of Fluorite and Feldspar on a nice Goethite plate. So on Sunday we attacked that spot and by the end of the day many very nice specimens we harvested. I only took a few pics in the field and my pictures of the specimens didn't turn out but I will have video edited soon and I will get some good pics of my best finds from the outing. Here is the few pics I took to get it started. James, Crusty, Jason and Ian working 3 individual pockets of crystals. The weather was fantastic besides the haze of smoke coming from the wildfires out west. More pics and video to come. -------------------- |

Had a good time at Mike's claim last week. I only got to dig for 1 day, but I found a crack in the rock that had some smokies and feldspar chunks.
They are small crystals, but they might lead me to the Hematite "rosettes" (after Goethite) that I have been digging to find. And I got 1 pic of the members on day 2. Feldspars Smoky Quartz Looking forward to any Members who come this weekend as well! -------------------- Thankful member of COLORADO PROSPECTOR CLUB
