Field Trip Report: Reel Amethyst Mine Official Field Trip of the photos by Richard Jacquot A crystal in matrix. Digging the lower trench. Jim on the hunt. Digging in the shade. Overall it was a great (hot) weekend. It was even toasty under the sign in tent. I was glad to see so many people find some nice material. We will keep working to improve the site to make it more productive for future digs. The club has this crystal on display at the Colburn Museum in Asheville, NC. If you are in town, stop by and see it. It is a 4 1/2" perfect crystal with great color. The pics don't do it justice! |
