[QUOTE="RedDirtDigger, post: 109685, member: 2964"] At blue hills quarry you can walk around the forestry tracks and find crystals on the roads and look for quartz veins going into the bankments. Agree, crowbar and heavy picks are required to get into pockets of crystals. I live near the quarry and many years ago got to know the contractors and went in after each blast. I got some big pockets and sold many kilos for faceting and specimens. I got $180 a kilo for many parcels of specimens. But that is ancient history unfortunately. The bottom picture is crystal from a local spot i keep to myself (sorry)...black as black morion with a grey quartz scalp on it and a slight amethyst tip. The spot has good pure amethyst and rare double terminated with amethyst one end and smokey on the other.
