Pinnacle 5 Minerals | Amazonite and Smoky Quartz

Here are some clips of 26-008 Pocket off the Sky Hawk. This pocket has super color and lustrous smoky quartz. There are still no groups but hopefully in the back there will be. Enjoy. #pinnacle5minerals #pegmatite #glacierpeakmining #amazonite #coloradominerals

From yesterday’s pocket. There were some nice Amazonite groups. #glacierpeakmining #pegmatite #amazonite #pseudomorphs

From today’s small pocket of amazonite, fluorite, and smoky quartz are these unusual pseudomorphs of goethite after some unknown mineral, possibly calcite, but what sharp crystals they were. We have found these in the past but not this fine or large. #pseudomorph #calcite #goethite #pegmatite

Here is a new pocket on the Sky Hawk. We’ve been following this pegmatite for several days and it is finally opening #pinnacle5minerals #glacierpeakmining #pegmatite #coloradominerals

Gonna have to make small rocks out of big ones. Remember the one the size of a mini-bus? It’s still in the hole and we need to dig under it. #pinnacle5minerals #glacierpeakmining #coloradominerals #skyhawkclaim #smokyquartz

We are working a really hard pegmatite in solid granite (very little decomposition). It has produced a couple of small bubbles but has rich teal blue-green color. We may not be able to follow much farther. We are going to keep trying because of this top color. Even a small group is special. #pinnacle5minerals #pegmatite #glacierpeakmining #amazonite #smokyquartz

Here are three clips of a small pocket off the Sky Hawk. Yes it does have amazonite. This is just the way they are found #pinnacle5minerals #pegmatite #glacierpeakmining #smokyquartz #amazonite

We did find a couple of promising groups in the small pocket we found on the Sky Hawk. Good color too. The amazonite is the first one we found. #pinnacle5minerals #pegmatite #glacier peak mining #amazonite

Found a small pocket on the Sky Hawk. What is most interesting is the zircon mass in the quartz. Usually minerals like zircon and columbite are indicators for amazonite #zircon #pinnacle5minerals #glacierpeakmining #pegmatite #coloradominerals
