I had the privilege of being invited to collect at a private Rose Quartz claim in the beautiful Green Horn mountains. Here are some photos of my trip.

View on the way up

The surrounding area

The hike down to the claim

Some close-ups of the material

This is what this material makes, notice the asterism

This material is absolutely incredible. Some of the material was so dark it was purple. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and look forward to future trips to this site if invited again.

If that is the field trip run by Rob Sankovich, he's our club's field trip chair and will be co-running CFMS south with Adam Deane next year. He'll be happy to hear that you've enjoyed it so much.
(Our club president, by the way, Jim Brace-Thompson, is being 'promoted' to CFMS president next year as well...)

Sounds like you had a great time.

As for open again, most likely yes. We run a field trip there every couple of years, and I know other groups hit it as well.

There was also a side trip to a mine dump containing fluorescent material. I also heard you had a drop in temperature that evening that caught a couple people off-guard.

I know that there were three other clubs out there. Oxnard, Ventura and Conejo. This claim isw absolutely incredible to me.

It sure sounds like you had a great trip! I love the quartz items that you get to find yourself and it sounds like that place is great! Maybe you need to re-save your photos to photo bucket and then download. They can be finicky some times.
