Nice quartz with cookeite. I've always wondered who came up with the mine name...

Hi Don Lum,
I appreciate your post.
The beryl (aquamarine) of the picture Img_6208 shows inclusions.
Are they helicoidal dislocations?
Roger.

Hi Jamison,
From what I understand, when mining for specimens at the Stand on Your Head Mine in Arkansas, you literally have to do it in an upside down position.
It is good to hear from you.
Regards,
Don

Hello Roger,
I cannot say for sure if the inclusions are helical dislocations or not because the aquamarine is so heavily etched on the surface.
I very much enjoyed your 2016 Munich Show Report.
Regards,
Don
