      My transportation and me visiting a mine for the first time is hindering 😭😭. I've been buying from stores and online, but I bet it's nothing like mining. Snakes are outside stopping me from visiting the creeks where I found Citrine, Amethyst and possibly Agate. I have so much Magnetite crystals using a 🧲 magnet . I encourage anyone to take a magnet on their crystals journey.

    Blair Pittman took a friend and me down into this mine about 15 years ago. He showed us Dead Dog Drop (the walled pit you comment on) and took our pictures standing in the calcite geode. The miners unexpectedly had punched through a wall of the cave of crystals. He made his homemade wine down there in a side pocket near the entrance. He was a hoot who loved to live life, and we miss him.
