This past weekend, we did some mining on a topaz claim. Very interesting and amazing day. Hot with searing sun, but I was covered from head to toe except for hands. I don’t want to think about the sunburn that others in the group of 25 had, who walked around without a hat or long sleeves.
We saw antelope, wild horses and of course the mine. VERY steep climb up the mountain to get to the mine. I closed my eyes while sister drove the big Ram truck up the rocky 45ยบ grade.
We found some topaz samples,
most contained in rhyolite or cassiterite.
