Went out this past weekend with Laurie and got some very nice kyanite. We are only going to say Yancey county since we will want to go back and hopefully get some more. We managed to pull out several flats. I have got to say it is the best stuff that I have ever collected. Laurie has a bunch as do I. If you would like to trade send me a pm. I will mix in the kyanite with some other specimens. Enjoy.
