Colorado Minerals
Come see our Colorado "Rock Stars". Amazonite, smoky quartz, pyrite, barite, garnet and much more. Admire and maybe pick up your own "Rock Star".
We would love to show you the recent find of blue beryl that is NOT from the Antero complex. Occurring with molybdenite and muscovite in the matrix and some beautiful blue color. Some are showing gemmy aquamarine! Exciting.
Exceptionally large garnets from Ruby Mountain. Collecting is no longer allowed at the site as it is inside Brown's Canyon National Monument.
Lots more Colorado minerals including tourmaline from The Brown Derby and several other lovelies.
Join a Club
Clubs are the best way to get in the swing of things. Check one out in your neighborhood or contact the Columbine Gem & Mineral Society to join up with our local rockhounds for some collecting fun. And for gold prospecting look into the Gold Prospectors of Colorado.
Mount Antero - Travel Channel Episode
We hope you saw the "Rocky Mountain Gems" episode of Treasure Hunter on the Travel Channel. We escorted Kirsten Gum and her crew up to Mount
Antero. Weather interferred with our aquamarine hunting but Kirsten unearthed a great smoky quartz from the Subway Pocket. See photos of our trip
