Well, not much of an indepth report here but a good time was
had by all at the annual Spring dig at Glendon yesterday.
About 100 of the 120 folks signed up showed up.
With all the precipitation we have been having lately I was
expecting to almost have to swim to the fluorite bearing quartz vein
at the back of the quarry but it wasn't bad at all.
The quarry operators have been making some improvements
to the drainage pond in the quarry and it seems to be working very well.
My last couple of trips to Glendon have not gone as planned,
so I was looking forward to getting down to some serious digging.
Here's the group that was going after the fluorite this trip.

I'm glad i got to see that piece in person, it was killer.

There were actually two pockets exposed in this fracture.
The blue one on the right and a smaller one with yellow and
purple on the left.
Here are some pics of it in the ground and I hope to add some
pics of the stuff cleaned up soon.

This yellow fluorite found Saturday is about 5/8" long and 3/8" wide.
And it has what looks like a purple phantom.

Just a couple more pics of the purple center.
It's curious to me how the purple seems to be more just a coating
on the bottom of this "window". I can't see the "body" of
another cube behind it.
Will have to look closer.

Very cool pieces Joe, thanks for posting the pictures. Never been to Glendon and couldn't give a reason why that's the case.

Nice report, good to see the Fluorite flowing last weekend.
Very interesting stuff.

Nice, Joe.  We were after the Pyrite, but we picked up some quartz to take home from the spoil pile to crack later.  Here is one piece I found.  Not perfect but I like the purple frame on the yellow fluorite.
