Now you have me wondering about emeralds........lol.
Nothing wrong about downsizing your ambition's when it comes to finding minerals and gems.

You may have more skills then many out there so it is not just luck.
Prospecting is “like a box of chocolates”…

If gems were so easy to find…Everyone would be out there looking for them…lol

One can still find small boxes of chocolates as others can't look every where.
I prefer Easter eggs.......lol

Finding a "Chocolate gemstone" can be really nice. Don't think I will be that lucky though.
Golden Easter eggs will do for now...........lol.

I still believe that one day I may try to retrace my steps to Tayopa,or Santa Fe, or maybe even El Naranjal…Only time will tell…

I personally don’t believe I will be doing any more prospecting though…

What else is left for one to do?

I am still pretty depressed that my prospecting partner has passed…I already knew he was going to be moving on…I had a premonition that I just did not want to accept…I believe he is in a much better place and I’m certain My Father needed him much more than I…I will always cherish the special adventures that we shared…

IF I ever get to live my dream…I just may begin to apply some of the knowledge I have locked away in my warped mind…

I have even been given permission,by a small rancho, to buy a 3 bedroom house for $100,000 pesos…Maybe…Just Maybe…I might buy said little house…Only time will tell…

3 women missing in Mexico after crossing from Texas on trip

https://apnews.com/article/mexico-missing-women-texas-8fe318a7c4a7ef649a18385f15ee7337

Two sisters from Texas and a friend are missing in Mexico after they crossed the border last month to sell clothes at a flea market, U.S. authorities said Friday.

The abduction of four Americans in Mexico that was caught on video last week received an avalanche of attention and was resolved in a matter of days. But the fate of the three women, who haven’t been heard from in about two weeks, remains a mystery and has garnered relatively little publicity.

The FBI said Friday it is aware that two sisters from Peñitas, a small border city in Texas near McAllen, and their friend have gone missing. Peñitas Police Chief Roel Bermea said their families have been in touch with Mexican authorities, who are investigating their disappearance.

Penitas is actually closer to Mission than McAllen…It is between Mission and La Joya…I remember we used to visit some of my dad’s friends there way back in the 1970’s…

Oh well…Another day is coming to a close…Goodnight everyone…I hate losing an hour…I can hardly wait until this daylight savings cra* ends…And I don’t even have to worry about going to work…lol…My Father has given me a job…It is pretty hectic at times…But that’s ok…

By the way…What’s up with all of this crazy weather???

Texas authorities warn against travel to Mexico after deadly violence
https://nypost.com/2023/03/11/texas-authorities-warn-against-travel-to-mexico/

Texas authorities are warning Americans, especially those planning spring break trips, to avoid Mexico after the recent uptick in violence that left two dead.

“Drug cartel violence and other criminal activity represent a significant safety threat to anyone who crosses into Mexico right now,” Steven McCraw, the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said in a statement.

Lt. Chris Olivarez of the DPS told Fox Saturday that the department was gearing up for spring breakers who might be seeking to cross the border.

“Right now it is too dangerous with the increase in violence and kidnappings that are taking place in Mexico,” Olivarez said, adding, “I can’t stress enough to those that are thinking about traveling to Mexico, especially for spring breakers … to avoid those areas as much as possible.”

Good night people…I will be dreaming of royal water and ammonium chloride…

I wonder IF the platinum ore is worth more as specimen ore than it might be as working it for the PT value??? I May never know…I still have not received an honest assay on said ore…lol
