A beautiful sunny start to the day chased the chill of morning quickly away.  RHL members, night owl, Raleigh Rockhound, and greel showed up.

Here's the pocket I've been working for the last few trips to the Burgin Mine.  Many broken and very etched crystals came from this pocket, however, the unique inclusions found in many of these crystals in this pocket zone was what I was going for.

And now a close look at a couple included crystals I found today from that pocket. An evolution or collusion of inclusions?
