How exciting! I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of all the crystals you recovered.

That's awesome! I remember a show a while back called prospectors that showed smokey quartz mining. You guys are making me want to go hounding for some crud right now. 😂

Quartz, I loved going along for the ride on this one! I really liked the progress pics showing what you were seeing and the explanations of the whys!

Great finds quartzilla! I read you are tumbling some, but what are you going to do with the rest? I have yet to see cabbed smokey quartz but I would like to. Maybe I need to go looking for some.

I love quartz points and especially smokies. Great find. I understand that it takes radiation to colour a smokey, so that might help to find a pocket.

Cabbing these never even occurred to me. I’ve never seen them done either. I’m guessing a good one would look like tinted glass

I've cabbed rose quartz before and it looked like fractured pink glass.
