My in-laws have a house in eureka and they’ve been going out there looking for stuff for 50 years. A lot of cool rocks and old rusty things, too bad most of the land out there is private property now. I’ve been to almost every mine out there back before it was all private property. Cool video.
Looks like a fun day collecting. Does any of that blue-green material take a polish for cabbing or is it more brittle crystal/druzy stuff that would just crumble?
I think a mix of both. There are a couple of pieces I collected that I'm thinking about cutting to see if I can get a polish on, but the majority of it would be too crumbly to polish without some major stabilization.
Who does one speak to on requesting access to the area? I know there is a group that goes out to that location but due to work I'm not able to go at that time. Beautiful specimens ❤
I’m not sure who the contact is. I was with the group went out last time and there was a person from the mining company that owns the land that had us sign a liability waiver in order to collect, but I don’t recall their name or the company name 😕.
It's the Facebook group called 'Utah Rock Collectors.' The owners of the page run lots of trips throughout the year (they have sign ups on their events tab). It's the only group I'm aware of that gets permission to rockhound that location.
@@utah_rockhound I’m still in town for 2 weeks, wanna meet up and go together? I just did blueberry azurite below Moab, the San Rafael swell , dugway, and a few more along the way😀

another great Video. We are hoping to get back up to Utah this fall!
It looks like quartz either w/ those colorful inclusions or does most of it sit on the surface?
Absolutely incredible.
Mostly on the surface, but some of it is included in the quartz!

@@utah_rockhound thanks a million!!
How do you get permission to go to the mine?
I go with the 'Utah Rock Collectors' club. They get permission from the mine owners to collect the dumps.
@@utah_rockhound tried to find the club, do u have a link??

@@JonesNit117 It's a Facebook group/club. If you search the "Utah Rock Collectors" group on there you should find them.
