Very Rare Mineral found in Colorado Astrophyllite!!!!

in #nature7 years ago

Here are some photos of a rare earth mineral I found while hiking and rockhounding in the Pikes Peak area. Astrophyllite is a very rare mineral and has only been found in a few places on the earth. Russia is one source and one mountain in Colorado is the other. The first hike and attempt to find Astrophyllite was very successful! The rocks look like they have Gold Needles all over them. I also found Flourite and Zircons.
