The one in picture 2 is to die for. That is one heck of a sweet rock, it has it all. That one should be in a museum.  |

Ray:
Now that is what I call great skeletal clusters. It has been a while since I saw pictures of such nice pieces posted on this board I always enjoy seeing pictures of skeletal points. Thanks for your postings.

These were found in a pocket in a large boulder in the skelatal pit. The boulder weight was about 400 pounds. I poped these out of the pocket. The rest of the crystals were small. This first one is 2 inches tall and 2 inches wide at the base. The crystal is just over 1 inches wide.  This one is 1 inches tall and 1 3/4 inches tall at the base.  This one is 1 inches tall and 1 1/2 inches at the base.  The skelatal crystal formation on these are different than most other skelatal that come from Diamond hill. Thanks for looking. Ray |

That does have some interesting, rather unique growth patterns. I also like the way it sits up so perfectly for display. What sort of coating did they have on them when you found them?

Steve, there were only a couple of iron oxide spots on them. I soaked them clean in super iron out. The white is very shiny.
