Fluorite Dyke & Pocket

Years ago I had George dig a road to the bottom of the Dome Rock. To the east of the dome bottom we dug out a turn around and parking area. During the process of digging we noticed several places that appeared to have dykes including a hill that had crystals exposed.
In the summer of 2015, Sheila discovered a large well-formed smoky quartz crystal sticking out of the ground in the parking area. This created the impetus to have George come out again and create a new turn around and parking area to the east of where we had a rise in the road and the old parking area.
This then allow me to dig around the area where Sheila discovered the large smoky quartz (Founders Crystal) and continue east where a suspected large dyke was. We were not disappointed.
