I had a great time with club members on the claim last weekend. On Saturday Ryan and his wife found their first pockets with crystals.
I was able to pull out a few small goethite and other goodies. Interesting feldspar crystals Smokies with feldspar On Sunday James and I moved dirt and rock all day and didn't find anything good. Crusty hit some cool smokies in a nearby hole. Dave found a few smokies in another nearby hole. I am excited to go back this weekend and try for another big pocket there. -------------------- |

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

Since I only have Saturday available, I'm going to stay local and try my hand in Clear Creek again. As always, you guys are awesome for hosting these events! Much obliged!

Sorry it took me so long to make a follow up post. For the most part I found similar crystals as my last post.
The only post worthy pics I got were of some of the people that showed up.. (I forgot to get pics of their finds.) Some after pics of a Copper/ Chrysocolla specimen that Ryan gave me. and a few pics of a larger smokey "surface find" from the claim. Found as we were leaving. -------------------- Thankful member of COLORADO PROSPECTOR CLUB

Great pics. I scrolled down quickly and first saw the copper pic and thought it was something found on the claim lol

It was great to get back to the claim and bring club members along. I hope everyone found something to take home.
I snapped a picture of one of Ryan's first crystals he found. This quartz crystal is a great example of the crazy mess of micro-minerals that we find in the quartz here. Goethite (black), bastnesite (red), orange blobs and a wide assortment of mica types giving the quartz blue, green, red and pink sparkles. I hit several tiny pockets that gave me mostly broken bits. I did manage to get a few quartz crystals intact and one small plate of quartz crystals on microcline. -------------------- |
