HUNTING FOR CRYSTALS



Bonnie found some good information in a gem and mineral book that led us to an outcropping of limonite with pyrite. It's a greenish rock, and has pyrite crystals embedded in it. You just have to find it! After a series of turns on a couple of numbered forest roads, we found the location and went to work with our assorted hammers, pry bars and rock picks. We came away with some nice finds. It was so much fun searching through rocks and finding a treasure. We could tell we had the right place, due to the large array of rocks scattered about. One of many hiding places, we are sure.
