Been planning my next rock hunting expedition. Hoping to find some phosphorescent stuff tomorrow.

This week's find, scheelite (white/blue) and calcite (red).

Good luck with that. You need to negotiate cash up front.

Drink and post more, then. That's the best way to win friends and influence people.

Been planning my next rock hunting expedition. Hoping to find some phosphorescent stuff tomorrow.

I found one little mine pearl otherwise the outing was a bust collecting-wise. The mine had a bit of red calcite and the stalactites were intensely phosphorescent. Phosphorescence is extremely difficult to photograph or even make movies of so here is a regular pic.

The road to the mine is what we like to call "an exciting mountain road" which translates roughly to "you could crack walnuts with your sphincter". Nothing better than an mid-slope, out-sloped road with loose gravel to focus the mind.

Is that a real road, or some kind of long ass haul road? What was mined there?

The road was built to serve the mine. There was no mill so the ore would have been either hauled to the mill at another mine on the other side of the mountain or to the mill at Bisbee and then to the Douglas smelter. The mine operated from 1914 to 1953 and produced Zn, Cu, Pb, Mo, Ag, Au, Bi, Be, Li, Cd, Ga, Co, W, wollastonite, and asbestos. The wide variety of metals was why I was hoping to find fluorescent rocks there but I think the copper killed it. Copper is a notorious fluoresotoxin®.
