Pinnacle 5 Minerals | Amazonite and Smoky Quartz

D-Day Pocket from Smoky Hawk. Progress is very slow since discovery but Tim has completed fits and we are moving into next phase. With only two weeks to Tucson, Joe works morning lab shift, and Tim works evening. Hope you can see this finished piece in Tucson #pinnacle5minerals #amazonitecombos #smokyquartz #amazonitecrystals #glacierpeakmining

Trying to post a couple before and after photos from the Chandelier pocket. I’ll figure out this posting bit yet. Cheers. Joe #pinnacle5minerals #pegmatitepockets #glacierpeakmining

Merry Christmas. We hope all is well and the new year is glorious and joyful. May you find lots of treasures. Joe and the troops

Holy Smokes pocket from the Sky Hawk claim. Largest smoky quartz pocket yet from this pegmatite swarm. It also has some fluorite and microcline in association. We are slowly getting some of these pieces into the lab for prep. #glacierpeakmining #smokyquartz #fluorite #coloradominerals #skyhawkclaim

Here’s a clip from our recent season. Working on the Sky Hawk claim in a microcline and smoky quartz zone. We believe there is an amazonite zone beneath it. Hope you enjoy this. We are getting ready for Tucson now #smokyquartzwithmicrocline #glacierpeakmining #pegmatite

Lots of times pockets infill with goethite making recovery of specimens difficult. This is an example. It is way too dense to be able to remove. We do get a few single specimens. #pinnacle5minerals #amazonite #smokyquartz

Gonna be hard waiting for summer to go digging again. This is off the Sky Hawk from the back portion of the Holy Smokes pocket. We are presently working on some of these pieces. Like Tim is saying, they are a lot more rare than what is assumed, especially of this potential quality. #glacierpeakmining #smokyquartz #pegmatite

From the summer. Next generation. All pretty good miners this is at Sky Hawk in the Blue Cap Amazonite pocket #glacierpeakmining #pegmatite #amazonitecrystals

As here is an amazing Amazonite group from the Icon pocket. You may have seen the display at the Hardrock Summit. This pocket produced some of the best color for size and best formed crystals yet found. It was about 20 feet down and ended up being 8 feet by 6 by 3 feet. #pinnacle5minerals #glacierpeakmining #amazonite
