Locality: Kerr McGee Mine, Carlsbad Potash District, Eddy County, New Mexico, USA
Description: Once the specimens had been collected, they were transported back to my house for prep work. This is a photo of one of the first collecting trips to the Frozen Blue seam. In most cases I had to remove sylvite from around the halite crystals to expose the nice blue crystals. Many of these specimens were collected by just picking them off of the floor.
