      My transportation and me visiting a mine for the first time is hindering 😭😭. I've been buying from stores and online, but I bet it's nothing like mining. Snakes are outside stopping me from visiting the creeks where I found Citrine, Amethyst and possibly Agate. I have so much Magnetite crystals using a 🧲 magnet . I encourage anyone to take a magnet on their crystals journey.

    Blair Pittman took a friend and me down into this mine about 15 years ago. He showed us Dead Dog Drop (the walled pit you comment on) and took our pictures standing in the calcite geode. The miners unexpectedly had punched through a wall of the cave of crystals. He made his homemade wine down there in a side pocket near the entrance. He was a hoot who loved to live life, and we miss him.

    What a great place to explore Bryan, and to see thousands of crystals in situ. Its amazing just how dangerous mercury is to humans yet for many years it was used as a medicine yet it is highly poisonous. All those tailings show just how long those brave men were mining there and I wonder if it was cooler or hotter in the mine than in the outside? When you see all those crystals and then the green once the UV light is off it's a wonder of nature to me, absolutely beautiful sweetheart. Dillon looks so happy exploring with you and seeing all these wonderful places with you but I can see why Matrix was kept safely away bless him. Thank you for showing me places and wonderful things I will never see in person, Terry laughed at how engrossed I was but all I did was show him a shot of the crystals and he said to say hello Bryan lol. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love and hugs to you Dillon and Matrix Mary-Ellen and Terry UK

      Yes the mine was pretty wild, at first we were going to wear mask but then we decided because we found out the humidity was super low and it has not rained in a while so there should not have been any gas is present in the location. I can’t remember the temperature but it was much cooler inside than outside, very nice. Yeah Dylan is having a awesome time I think, getting to explore the states! Blessings to y’all
