Local mine finds!

Good morning! how are you today? i hope all is good in your world! today i am anxious to share some of our finds from the other day! the pictures sure don't do these stones justice but you can at least get the gist of what is out there to find on a short trip! :)
This is the BEST piece of Chrysocolla that was found! it even has a green crystal but the camera just wouldn't pick that up! But you can see the drusy, green glitter.

That twin crystal is rare indeed!

I think I can see the green crystal in that one close-up picture!

You sure found a lot of good minerals this time. We don't have much out here.
