Just found ya!
Just found ya, thanks to a couple of friends from AZ. Been in AZ for 4 years and been collecting Gems and Minerals ever since. We participated in the Prescott Gem and Mineral Club for 3 years, but after my wife fell during a rock hunt (AZ Agate Mine) we dropped out of the club to just hunt on our own in less teacherous places.
Peace and Blessings,

Sorry I haven't been active
I'm in the process of setting up a website and starting up a part time business. Going half time at my "real" job the first of March. Any ideas or suggestions on getting started in the jewelry/rocking/on-line/make enough to survive business would be greatly appreciated.

JXR
Went to JXR (Jackson's Cross Roads, E. GA) last month (Dec. '07) and was handed a clump of mud that turned out to be this (see pixs). I picked around but mainly photographed.
We weren't allowed into the pit (as the mine has just changed hands. Our field trip chair didn't know if we would ever be allowed back in so we feel lucky that it was even opened to us for picking thru the tailings.
The trick is to take the clumps of mud home them and work on them because the clay holds the crystals to the matrix and protects them (if you see black sharp objects jutting from the mud-those are crystals, just wrap the blob in newspaper and clean them at home...it takes some time to do it correctly). I started in the kitchen with a bowl, water and a spoon but quickly took the operation outside as the water pik got to be rather messy.
Pictures posted...not enough room to explain on the photo site but the pictures are self explainatory.
