Reference only localities - Following are localities from which specimens have been available from dealers, but the localities are not open to collecting at this time. These are provided here for reference to provide information on specimens that you may have in your collection. Generally they are not available to collecting, but are being actively mined and specimens are available. Katie Belle claim This breccia body is high on the ridge line on the north side of the valley a few miles east of the Spruce claim, and has been commercially mined for specimens. There are three quartz bearing breccia bodies, the uppermost has produced the most specimens and is exposed in cliffs at the top of the ridge.
Cavities are common in areas of the breccia and are generally lined with quartz crystals.
Many of the them are scepters, sometimes with nearly every crystal in the cavity having a scepter form. Most crystals are less than 3 cm long, but some very fine plates of crystals with 30-40 scepters have been collected. There are minor amounts of pyrite and subhedral chalcopyrite crystals. Malachite is uncommon as thin coatings or tufts of acicular crystals. Pedro claim Pedro is located below the Katie Belle breccia in a very steep cliffy area.
