The "Starry Night Crystal Pocket"

IAMZIM · Jun 23, 2014

I was out this spring between snow and rainstorms, (been a crazy spring for weather here in Montana..) looking for arrow points and such in a particular spot I go, thinking the rain/snow would uncover something new for me. Not finding anything...I was pretty tired after hiking and searching for about 3-4 miles and hiked over this hill and decided I needed a rest, so I found a tree that the wind had downed, and sat down to eat an apple and drink a brisk tea. While I was sitting there, I was looking at the roots and could see little bits of what looked like broken crystals, and I thought: "Hey, while I'm here I might as well digg a-little and see what might be here, and about a foot down, I found a nice BIG black smokey quartz, that had some little inclusions in it that made it look (to me) like little stars in a dark night! Kept digging and found everything you see here! (after I found the first big crystal I went back to my car to get the shovle and other digging tools). I plan on going back to see if there is anymore pockets of crystals when I get time!! thanks for looking!!!
