The color is great on these pargasite crystals but the nice blue coating disappears when I clean them.
Thanks John.....

Beautiful, thanks for the new photos :)
What do you do with all the crystalls you dig up? As I see you have been working the area for more than 3 years now and that place seemed to be an endless source of great specimens.
Did you donate pieces to museums? Or did you sell most of them?

Mark, I've given pieces to a half dozen museums and a few are on display at the New York Museum in Albany. I have more than I need and might try and trade some stuff.
