Field Trip Report:
New England Written by: Steve Bonney Lawrence decided to work his way to the water table at Scribner Ledge. He said it came in handy to wash off rocks.
Beryl exposed in the wall at Scribner Ledge. Large partial microcline crystal at Scribner Ledge. It would have looked great in the yard, but it was way too heavy and I needed the room in the truck for my other treasures.
Classic “train wreck” beryl from Scribner Ledge, broken and healed multiple times.
