Took a trip a few weeks ago and found some interesting stuff. Got some nice pieces of Agate, chrisicola(?) and even a piece of Turquoise! I was just on some back roads east of Superior. What have you all found on day trips east of Phoenix? I heard about a site north of Florence Junction, has anyone been out there?

Was it the Ray Mine that you heard of, north of Florence Junction? I just moved to San Tan Valley and I'm finding a lot of chrysocolla laying around where I live. People say it was dumped here from that mine. A lot of the pieces I find have some malachite, onyx, copper, and agate in them. I've also found a bit of diorite. I don't have a way to polish pieces just now, but I am working on that.

Yes, It was the Ray Mine. I still haven't had time to make a trip out there, can't believe graduate school takes so much time lol
