3. I went one year.

one of the mines my BIL had an interest in ( a gold and silver mine ) near tombstone had a collection of wulfenite crystals.



I went 300 feet underground and crawled on my hands and knees through some very nasty tight passages... and got quite a few samples.

Took them to the gem show and tried to sell them... i think I got $120 for the lot. Sad. Wulfenite is fairly rare. Maybe if I had registered and bought a booth there... but I really only had the wulfenite and maybe only a dozen decent crystals

Oh well, the show is fun to go to if you like rocks
