Six members traveled to
Anderson Ind. On July 14th for a visit to the quarry where we
hoped find the usual honey calcite that had been plentiful in the past.
We joined with members of the Tulip City club and four other clubs, a
total of 25 rockhounds went into the Quarry at 9AM , the Weather was
perfect, just like one of George’s trips. It has
been several years since we had been to the site and nothing is as
constant as change, they have removed a great deal of
material including the massive honey calcite vugs that we
found before. New members Doug & Janet
Sjoquist
found the largest calcite vug. It took both of them to lift
the block, that has two crystal vugs, Neil Snepp and I and Marie and
Gordon Lewis all found material for the children’s table. Our
finds did not however include large blocks of the honey calcite.
