I don't know, those points are a little tiny and sharp. You got anything bigger? Cheesy
Great pictures, Scott.

Another local rockhound wanted me to post some pics of the stuff he's been finding in the cemetery area.
He doesn't dig, just a surface collector and finds most of his in the creek or after a good rain.
The second piece pictured has awesome champagne color!
The last piece he bought from someone who has lived on the creek their whole life and found it when a kid. I hate to even mention it, because there is so little missing I hate thinking about it, but yes, the point of the 6 plus incher is just slightly broken. Cry

Here's the ammy from the cemetery last week.
Two pics of different angles of the same side.
Two pics of the "seam" that was crossing the main vein perpendicularly, and where the ammy was in it.

So about 60 feet from where Joe found this Amethyst, I found a rutile included quartz crystal.  Cheesy Cheesy

Awesome finds guys, that amethyst is beautiful Joe! Cant beleive how excited you were when that purple began to show.

Here are a couple of surface finds from the cemetery after the heavy rains last week.
