Dealers in pretty rocks

[tamrock]

This last week I was down at a place I do some business with. I deal with the folks who operate a mine that seeks the mineral Rhodochrosite, but they also deal in rare mineral specimens they search all around the globe for. Its always a fun place to stop by and veiw these natural wonders they deal in.

That's awesome, where is that place Fairplay? I'll be heading there with my family soon. When I was young and you could get into those dumps... I had found one nice piece of rhodochrosite!

I believe the tailings are now off limits, due to liability reasons. This warehouse with all the other specimens is in Golden. The mine did recently hit a valuable deposit of Rhodo specimens. I believe they told me I could check out the story about what they found on their website. but I haven't looked at it yet

Thanks Tamrock, do they let the public into that warehouse?

Rhodo and Aqua are 2 of my top favorite minerals next to gold.

Thanks Tamrock, do they let the public into that warehouse?

Yeah I believe they do, as I've always just walk in the door. I do know at times its locked and no one's around though.
