Too bad it doesn't have extra terminations somewhere ... somebody clearly was misleading me... laught16.gif

Truth though... that is one helluva find Colin. I can see why you are halfway to the moon.

Next pic, drop a quarter next to it so we can get perspective on size?

Very nice! I like the scepter crystals. Just so ya know the last two pics are of a Fluorite! In case you mistakenly thought it was quartz. (I have many times)
Crusty
That's quite a haul!! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif
Yoda
You are in hog heaven buddy. So glad this hole is yielding such great finds for you!
swizz
Excellent finds and pics Colin!
You might wanna start thinkin about staking a claim. happy112.gif
NewRockHounder
Been thinking bout it Swizz happy112.gif Just gotta wait for a paycheck. And Mike S.'s help (He said he would)

Day 3 yielded some interesting finds... alas no scepters but good over all. Pics later (just got home, time to eat) - - 12 hours of prospecting... extra_happy.gif woohoo emoticon-misc-004.gif

Gave out one more card today as well (stopped to help a guy that needed a jump... ended up having to wait for his battery to charge a lil, so showed him my finds... got to talking... one thing led to another) CP_Member.gif

Colin

PS... Thank you Dave! I had no idea... sweet! extra_happy.gif

Nice finds Colin! I like the scepter on top of the feldspar and that set of smokies is very cool. Score! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif
NewRockHounder

Some very nice finds you're onto lately Colin, sweet!! dancing_smiley.gif Really like the twin scepter that looks cool and yep that big hunk you asked about being Fluorite in your previous post looks like it is another dandy Fluorite chunk. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif Congrats on your finds and thanks for sharing the pics with us all.
MikeS
You may be on to something rare with those scepter crystals. The Fluorite is etched and cracked but you may be onto something good there too. A little color or crystal form could make those very desirable stuff. It pays to explore around even if its 30 ft from yer last dig. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif
NewRockHounder
Welp, sold the lil fluorite to my neighbor smiley-clapping.gif Didn't know how much to charge, prob shoulda said more, but 20.00 towards a debt (he bought me more than enough gas and a pack of cigs) -- thankfully however, the remainder of the gas got me back up for a few days thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

Camped fer one night, worked all day/night and some today (Saturday). However, found this nice 35 termination in 1 (plate, my first) on Friday. I also found 5-7 small combos, feldspar/smokey each has between 1-3 terminations on them. And a lot LOT of small single crystals that all have one termination on each, they're all fully formed crystals not just frags. And some really nice pieces of feldspar. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif Only got pics currently of the 35 pointer. Enjoy. greensmilies-012.gif

Sorry for the quality of the pics, hard to capture all points when it's on 3 sides of the plate itself. (Also there's a bit of peg/dirt still on it, being very careful cleaning it.. wanted to show ya's)
