Title: Quartz Crystals...
Post by: jtalbot0001 on September 26, 2012, 11:38:24 PM
Hi Rob (and everyone else),

Here are some crystals I found a few weeks back, the one crystal is a hexagon shaped one, shame it came away from its original matrix. I'm always looking when I'm out walking, it's amazing what you can find out there. I'm hoping to hopefully one day stumble upon a nice geode :)

Cheers,
Jon

I found some really nice Crystals, which were 'out of context' and someone said they had read that burial mounds were sometimes decorated with them. I have since found a similar reference to one in Wales.
Doing some browsing I came accross this site. Have a look, it's amazing.
