Specimen Size: 4.2 cm milky, double terminated, floater, crystal
Field Collected: Ralph Lingard (1915 - 2005)
Catalog No.: 599
Notes: I bought this at the June, 1988 Gilsum Rock Swap from Ralph Lingard for $1.00. I was surprised that Ralph was willing to sell this perfect, self-collected, crystal for $1.00. Ralph was a long time, most energetic, field collector. This crystal epitomizes a classic quartz crystal habit.

Field Collected: # 703, Don Dallaire - 1981
Catalog No.: A Don Dallaire photo & specimen
Notes: [dd] "The amethyst crystals were on the opposite side of 101 from the pyrite. This was the darkest specimen. The others are quite a bit lighter in color. It was a very short window to get these crystals since most of them were below the present grade of the highway."
