Hello Y'all. I know I have met some of you in the past at digs, but just wanted to reintroduce myself and ask for a friendly pointer or two. My name is Matt and I live in Asheville. I occasionally have meetings in Raleigh, one of which is coming up this week. The last places I used to know of were off Blue Ridge Road and they are long gone. Would anyone be willing to share some general info as to where some active construction sites with potential might be found? I usually only have an hour or so to drive and look, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Willing to trade peg (kyanite, beryl, etc) or PA pyromorphite. Thanks

Hey Matt. There are many "active" construction sites going on everywhere and we've checked the majority of them.  Unfortunately there's only one that I know of that's currently producing crystals. PM me your email address and I'll send you a map of the zone of crystallization within Wake County where I've plotted every location I've found crystals at.  From this map you'll get an idea of where to look for crystals.

Thanks Scott, I appreciate the generous offer. Won't have too much time other than to surface scan prior to sunset.

Thanks j, another generous offer. Will be back in Asheville by then but I really appreciate the invite.
