As the day continued, we found many more nice specimens. I finally found the source of the quartz crystals in the wall, a few feet above the floor of the mine.
One of the first crystal clusters I found. This plate is covered with huge iridescent quartz crystals 3" - 5" in diameter.
Here is a pic of it on the stovetop, where most of my new specimens end up.
The huge crystals show nice iridescent color and have perfect points. I have never seen a quartz crystal plate this big before.
The largest crystals on the plate measure over 5" in diameter.
M.A.G.M.A. member Keith Phagan got into an area producing lots of rutile.
One of Lees friends stopped by to see him.
This is a specimen pic that Lee sent, I don't know what it is, but it is neat.
