PostPosted: Jan 31, 2016 21:37    Post subject: Collection of R. Mahoney  

Took my first trip to a quartz mine here in Arkansas. Had never been to a mine and didn't know what to expect. Now I am hooked. My son and I had a fantastic time! We were there approximately three hours and boy did we find some gems! I have been doing more research than when I was in college and I am loving the whole experience. Will be posting some of my gems as I learn more about them. A few of them seem to be quite unique but as I said I am learning. Let me know. I am also not sure how many pieces are normal to find on a first trip. I found approximately 30+ pieces some with water clear clarity, rainbows, ditrapezohedrons, windows, clusters and other features. If you reply, please let me know what is your favorite characteristic of a quartz crystal?

Water Clear Ditrapezohedron Parallel Window with Steep Face. When you hold this one at a certain angle, it looks just like a man's face. So unique!

Which mine did you visit, and how were you mining the crystals?

Ron Coleman Mine and I used my hands. I started around and under a large boulder. I actually only used a trowel a couple of times to get deeper. I guess I hit a pocket right away. Is that normal? LOL

Coleman's was the first mine where I collected quartz. You found some nice crystals.

Hi, Reelgoodwoman.

Before you continue publishing pictures please read carefully the rules of FMF and the rules of the collectors’ section. You can add up to fifteen pictures in the same post so that the new messages box is not saturated.

And please always include the locality in your pictures. This is essential in the collections threads. Thank you.

Well, I guess that is something that we have in common. Do you not visit there anymore? I can't wait to go back again. I actually have a lot more to post and a few questions. Thanks for your response!

Thank you! I was hoping there was no cure.
