This rockhounding site offers crystal mining in a primitive setting. There are no facilities or mine supervisors so be considerate of safety protocols and embrace a leave-no-trace mindset.

This mine offers areas of virgin ground that you can explore and find good quality crystals. This location has not been actively mined or maintained with machinery for many years, so be prepared to do your own prospecting which includes physical labor. Make sure to bring appropriate tools, such as a pickaxe and a heavy-duty crowbar to get down into the ground. 

Before heading to the actual mine, you need to sign up at the Crystal Seen gift shop on Highway 270. Parking for the mine is at the bottom of the hill and you will still have to hike into the actual collecting site unless road conditions and your vehicle will allow for a drive closer to the collecting area.
