I knew it had rained the day before the trip and I knew how messy and muddy that place gets.  I didn't bring my good camera because I didn't want to ruin it.  I did however take a very small video clip of the quartz vein I was working on with some fluorite on it.  I'll try to post it as soon as possible.

Very nice gemmy yellow fluorite.  The yellow I found was hardly worth a photograph.  I'm glad you were able to get some of the good yellow from there.

Yes, that's the first time I've actually seen any and
thought the color was pretty awesome, too.
The pics are too dark because I forgot to enhance them
in any way. So that's pretty much true color.

Incredible fluorite from NC.  Great job guys.

Okay, Instead of starting a new Glendon Field Trip thread,
I think I'll just keep this one going.
This mine, or quarry, is only open to collectors twice a year.
One day in the Spring and one day in the Fall.
This was the annual MAGMA Rock Club Fall Dig and is always
one of the most fun digs of the year for me. Friends from
Florida, Georgia, South Caroline, Tennesee, OHIO, Virginia,
and all parts inbetween come to slop and stagger through
this wonderful white Pyrophyllite mud in search of the
perfect cube mineral of their choice,
and it's always good to see them.
I guess we could call this thread "Glendon Fluorite", because,
even though Glendon is known as a great place for collecting
Pyrite cubes, it seems we have only been collecting the
Fluorite lately, and that's pretty much what this thread has
been about. We may get to the Pyrite eventually,
but not this time.

Back to the "Fluorite Hillside". Here's a couple of pics of
that hillside and those that made it their "choice" this time.

And just a few more pics.
Pic 1 is of the group and Scott taking a water break.

Pic 2 shows some of the rest of the group with more of
the quarry in the background.

Pic 3, In the top right hand corner of this pic you can
barely see a white shed top and the blue and yellow
porta-potty. We have to walk just past that point to get
back to the truck!    That's with the tools you walked
in with PLUS whatever rock you want to carry out.
It's about time to make that walk and you can see Scott
looking at a rock like he's trying to figure out just how
bad he wants it.

Pic 4, Rebecca and Marly getting packed up and ready for
the big walk out.

It's almost too much Fun!
And I hope to get around to adding some specimen pics soon.

Hey. Who is that guy in the yellow shirt with the hat. I think he found a killer specimen of 2 cubes of yellow fluorite that were really big. I would love to see a picture of them. They were awesome.
