Thank you for your comment Jamison, though I would love one of those huge doubly terminated pieces of calcite from the Elmwood mine. Calcite is one of my favorites. I have a lot more pieces I'll be posting soon. Also, I appreciate the correction on the "Mesolite" Aragonite specimen. You learn something new everyday and that's just the way I like it.

Hi, Jordan.
Please read another two suggestions:
- Use our locality database and don't write it directly. More information: New Data Base of localities within the FMF! . It is really a powerful utility.
- If you are posting many pictures at the same time please don't write a new post for each one, but put them together in a single post. You can attach up to 15 pictures. More information: How to add multiple photos to a Post .
Thank you.

Calcite in Quartz geode. This specimen was one geode with both halves pictured. I was super relieved that I didn't damage the calcite growths, since they were growing into each other!!! Patience is definitely key in cracking geodes with a hammer and chisel.

Hi Jordan. Is this place where you dig open to public or is it a private place? How about sharing your adventures in a separate thread?

The place I go is a roadcut in the next county over but only 10 minutes from my house. It's public and I've been wearing it out since about August. I was actually late to the show in a way, from what I've heard when they first were doing construction you didn't even have to dig. The county just left huge boulders on the side of the road and people took them by the truckloads literally. I have really enjoyed it and I've gotten a lot of experience mining minerals. The majority of what I get comes out of geodes or vugs. I'm a big fan of the cubic calcite, but have yet to come across any fluorite. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Here are some photos of me and my son's working it. They're 5 and 8.

That is fantastic and so close to your house! I like the fact that the youngsters join you; start them young:-)
