[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 214966, member: 2976"] While teenage son sat home and played Minecraft, I took my 11 year old niece to Lowmead yesterday for some [i]real[/i] fossicking, her first dig for anything. Straight away she found a citrine crystal about an inch and half across. No good for faceting but a perfectly formed six-sided point so still a good specimen. We got quite a few small crystals, mostly smokies or very pale amethyst, none of the deep purple. But I made a convert and now she wants to go fossicking every time I go somewhere :) She got some well-formed crystals to start a collection and a few crystals that will cut nice little earring stones. Father-in-law has converted me as to the digging day routine - the day is now finished off on the veranda of the Lowmead pub, an excellent way to finish up :) [/QUOTE]
