    I will never complain about mining again

    I just spent all day at an old feldspar mine breaking boulders to look for pegmatites, mica books and garnets. I am exhausted. I will say I hit the rock a few times and was thinking maybe that was HQ lol. I did find a long tourmaline crystal.

    Anyway, intersection of virtual and real life and all that...

    Vacation in N.C. and wanted to do a legit rock hunt (not a seeded sift bucket lol). Found a local who used to teach geology to take us to an old mica mine where all the tailings were feldspar.

    Found some apatite, a few neat pegmatites, lots of mica, some moonstone, and iron stained lepidolite mica. Nothing marvelous but it was fun.
