Rustic Red Smokies & Microcline Crystals | Pocket Play

All of the work in tracking this pocket was shown in a previous video titled, “Lustrous Blacks & Carlsbad Twins | Tracking Smokies and Microcline.” Link:    • Lustrous Blacks & Carlsbad Twins | Trackin...  

Therefore, this video is purely play in the Rustic Reds Pocket. Mineral specie found here include healed smoky quartz crystals with surface inclusions of red hematite, microcline (with some very pale amazonite), and five goethite specimens occurring on the quartz. After getting an understanding of the vein and filling a backpack with crystals, the hanging wall was collapsed for the next rockhound to enjoy. I hope this overflowing pocket fills the next person with joy.
