What a fantastic day of collecting, we had found many beautiful large smoky clusters for our collections, the next morning we were at it again and back into some interesting material, what started out as a three foot hole was soon about over our heads.

The hole at the end of the day, we had our trucks and cars loaded with many specimens, now it was time to head home and start the cleaning process.
El Specimens Finito!

The following pages are pictures of some of the cleaned specimens that I brought home:
Nothing particularly interesting about this piece except for the large crystal, it had stopped growing, and instead of one point, it has six seperate points.
