    During the late 70s into 1980, I collected underground all over the Kelly District. The pyrite azurite malachite smithsonite and dogtooth calcite specimens were amazing. Spending weekends underground were some special times.

    • @gabrielaguilar1391
      @gabrielaguilar1391 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are very lucky to have had that opportunity. Apparently there was some world class specimens coming from there. I would have loved explore these mines. Unfortunately, a lot of the mines in New Mexico are being closed by BLM. I am trying to explore as many as i can before they are closed. I have collected some wonderful specimens, but i have heard these mines were something special. The mines in Bingham were supposed to be good also.

      @@gabrielaguilar1391 I've collected underground at Bingham as well. The Kelly District -- Juanita, Graphic-Waldo, Kelly Mines in particular -- and so many others were just amazing. I've sold off everything I've had, but I still have the first piece of orange barite I collected at Kelly and a huge specimen of dogtooth calcite from Kelly which is brilliant red under UV ( and a drill bit and a brass stope marker from the Graphic ).

Just wanted you to know that outside of a mine is called a waste dump and the stuff that goes through the mill it's called the tailings. Like I said I love your videos I've actually learned quite a bit on Precious gems and crystals thank you very much.

    What a wonderful place to dig for crystals Bryan, the views you showed us are awesome!! It looks so peaceful and the treasures are all below the surface to br found. Matrix certainly enjoyed digging there lol and so did everyone else. The different colours of the crystals are beautiful but I saw a couple of pieces with a beautiful red on them and wonder what that is? I was thrilled when the mine owner said the large piece was smithsonite, which was lovely though I prefer the azurite and its beautiful blues. Terry came in and heard your voice and said to say hello from him and laughed when I showed him Matrix digging and then lying down. Cheerio my friends good luck and happy fossicking, God bless you all love and hugs to you, Dylan and Matrix Mary-Ellen and Terry UK
