MISC MARKET NOTES

Most weeks our M@D newsletter is about food and farming. This week will be a bit different as I’ve had SO MANY questions about my mining trip last week that I’m exercising a bit of self indulgence and sharing a few things.

For starters, I’ve not cleaned up my rocks yet! That’s another story. Suffice to say my fragile Black Tourmaline will be hardened by the time I get to it.

Mining is WORK. Whatever the YouTube videos show you, they don’t include all the time and dirt you have to invest and dig through to find something worthwhile. Our group found three of the four gemstones at Hogg Mine along with many beautiful pieces of quartz.

This photo shows a gray quartz that turned out to contain aquamarine once it was cleaned up.

And here we have three generations of women digging in the dirt and loving it.

We were fortunate to have one experienced miner in our group. One niece has been bordering her porch with plain quartz pieces from the mine as well as making yard art/electroculture plant stakes utilizing quartz she gets from the mine.

All in all it was good clean fun. The kids found the best place to dig for Black Tourmaline and found soft clay that they sculpted into forest animals. Thank God for the guys who pulled the wagon after it was heavy with tools and rocks. We all got really dirty and were really sore at the end of the day.

And yes – I would do it again and hope to some day.
