Hey Guys,
One of my favorite rock collecting to do since i was about 5 years old. Collect AZ diamonds north of Payson, AZ. I went up last week for 4 days and had a great time mainly just kicking back. But one of my favorite collecting spots is within 100yards of my family cabin. Its the intersection of Houston-Mesa Rd and Control Rd 64. East of the Bridge that crosses the East Verde River. And East uphill from the Church. I also marked two new small deposits via GPS, one had real good signs of source.
That Third photo shows one that has a neat Rectangle like shape. Its is Double Terminated and why it shows this look. And the largest one shows awesome Elestial markings. These are all collected as float and show internal fractures. The smaller they are the less chance of fractures. Big ones like the second one as float are qiute rare. Digging is not allowed for these except at Diamond Point. Got admit Mother nature cuts the best looking stones. Enjoy~
