Himalaya Tourmaline Mine

Himalaya Tourmalines displayed today and tomorrow in San Francisco ! SF gem & mineral society golden gate park

Anyone going to the Tucson Gem Show? We're packing up the gems and hitting the road!

The dig site is still temporarily Closed due to the virus and the governor's Order, etc. We look forward to getting *you* back to digging soon.

Here are my teeny tinys. Picked on June 8th, 2019

Nic has been on the pile and processed three ore bags since 10:00 AM today. He just found this under just feet at the table he was working at - smoky quartz with green tourmaline bolts - thus making him the first adult to qualify for the hashtag... #WhoNeedsShovels

looks like someone found a "Good One "

A couple of our own findings from two visits to the Himalaya Mine where we came from the Czech Republic.

Had a blast again at the Himalaya. Larissa and Terry are so nice, knowledgeable, and encouraging! The greens were out for me this time (pics in comments). Well worth the dig fee!

http://www.rockygems.com/april-mineral-show.html We are here! April 15-17... Denver! The theme is "how has mining changed your life?" Mining has been my life. Opening our mines to the public has been the most interesting change in my life, being a small part of the big treasure hunt! Seeing where it goes for others. Watching the journey of the gems! Hearing the stories of what the treasures have become and the flat tire adventures and hammered thumbs that one endures to get them. I enjoy all the folks that have visited and dug with us! Thank you for supporting us! But, do tell, how has mining changed your life?

Beauty from the Himalaya! Have to agree Spring is time for green - Tourmaline that is - it's tendency towards dichroism can often show two (or more) colors on face-up :) This rare color from the Himalaya Mine in California is positively verdant!
