Polly Anna fluorite mine

Digging the loading dock area proved successful for massive dark green fluorite and some bi-colored (green/purple) fluorite.

The boys are into a good vain of bi-colored (green/purple) fluorite.
Highly florescent...

Fluorite Mine (not named)

An unnamed fluorite prospect some three miles down a BAD 4-wheel drive road. Mostly massive brown calcite and purple/green fluorite that is highly florescent in three colors. We pried out several boulders that had layers of green fluorite, some of the veins were sandwiched between layers of black calcite. The calcite fluoresced red while the fluorite was purple.
