Here are a few pics of more things found in the Teller area.
Purple Fluorites on Microcline. This piece is bigger than my hand.

For those of you who like a little blue in your specimen world!
Specimens of Amazonite. Some great twins! Not all the Amazonite found is specimen quality like these....But definately makes great material for making into jewelry. I find small pieces all over the ground.

Got a date set up for that, Denise? Or is it by invite only?

More pieces to add to my Microcline collection.
They should clean up nicely.

Here is a nice smokey quartz. I put my fingers in the picture so you can see the size of the crystal. Still pretty dirty now, but will clean up well.

Very cool indeed. I ended up getting a number of plates like that Denise. I also came home with a good double hand full of smokies.Some of the smokies are facetable. The trip was something that will always stand out in my mind. It was a blast. Jim

Very cool Jim... We are very glad you had a good time while here in Colorado! I would love to see some pics of your finds since I wasnt there that day!!
So you like the Amazonite eh Sean? There are some amazing specimens coming out of that area. Here is one thats larger than a softball. Lets see who knows their stuff...hehe Can anyone tell me what the white stuff is on the Amazonite? I know the answer, I just want to see who paying attention, and would love to see more feedback in the CP forums.  You never know, the first correct answer could win someone a piece of Amazonite.
