I would say "Good Eye", Eric, but you could see that thing with one eye!
So, Nice Find! Thanks for the picture. Smiley

Come on out next year! There are also a lot of other spots in the area for quartz crystals as well as zeolites.
Like, if you really wanted to, you could come right now, but conditions are less than ideal in the mountains to say the least.
