Field Trip Report:
Diamond Hill Machine Dig!
Antreville, S.C.
April 2008Report by: Rick Jacquot
Cluster
with enhydro inclusion. Damage to top of main crystal is contact from
vein. |
Another cluster with enhydros.
Rick Jacquot specimen. Perfect crystal.
The
above two pics are one of my favorites, I like the color, notice the
channel showing on the inside of the front crystal face, it has a
nice bubble that travels through it. |
The
above four pics are of my first pick at the split. Having dug at Diamond
Hill for over 16 years, I know how hard it is to find a perfect crystal
of any type with no damage. To have a perfect amethyst is impossible.
Well now I have one. 4 1/2" in diameter and just under 5"
tall. This piece is flawless. It is a single crystal with a small
hitch hiker and it has at least one enhydro that I have found so far. |
