PostPosted: Jul 30, 2013 13:15    Post subject: Green Dream Claim  

I claimed the aquamarine showing I found near Revelstoke BC Canada and went up with a hammer and chisel. Right away I hit a big pocket that was full of black tourmalines and smoky quartz and aquamarines. Veru exciting to dig aquamarine beryls out of a pocket. One of the crystals was almost flawless and had very good color. another exciting crystal to come out of the pocket was a bent smoky quartz scepter. Prospecting is the best :)
