Docia called me a couple of weeks ago and said lets go check out the reclaimed area and see if we can find more bubble drusy quartz….I decided to see if one of my close friends could go,  she works full time as a florist and has just a few days free, but decided she could spare a few hours that afternoon and my mom joined us too. It was threatening to rain but I hoped it would hold off just a little while and allow us some time to find some nice stuff.

We arrived over at the reclaim area and only got about 45 minutes in before the clouds opened up and it started raining, plus we didn`t find much there, and Docia decided she was going home…but I took Mom and Kay with me over to the new druse location and just as we arrived, the rain stopped…so we decided to take full advantage of whatever time we could and see what we could find. Watching my Mom and Kay was like watching two kids in a  candy store for the first time….

and then Kay found two pieces of druse and the look on her face matched the look when she found her first single poker chip crystal a few minutes later all on her own….

I should prob stop here and explain that Kay is a daughter of a lead mine and iron ore miner, she isn`t a newbie to rock and mineral collecting but is a rookie to druse hunting and now I think she has converted to drusy quartz collecting as well, lol.

After about 30 minutes of collecting, we could see more rain and lightning approaching so we finished up and got out of there fast….

A few days later, Missy and I loaded up the truck and met Docia over there again, and found a pocket of blue druse…

and much of it was eroding out of a clay bank and bubble pieces too…

and here is one of the larger pieces we collected that day….

..more on this location later….
