[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 248837, member: 2976"] Just for interest - my brother, nephew and niece were at Clarky's during that event. My niece stopped her bike along the track for a moment, then when she looked down to put the kickstand up, beside her foot was an amethyst crystal about the size of a golf ball. I haven't seen it with my own eyes yet but I've seen some photos on facebook and it doesn't look too bad. I'd need to see it first hand to determine if there is facetable material in it but she hasn't said if she wants it faceted or if she just wants to keep it as a nice specimen. Looks like a nice bright purple without any smokey tints. I think you would find crystal deposits dotted all about the Lowmead area - just getting access is the problem. [/QUOTE]
