This is what a "dry" pocket looks like! This sort of a crystal pocket is called this because it's not filled with clay, the way a normal pocket of crystals would be covered in clay.
This happens over time as rain water trickles through the quartz seams and dissolves the clay and brings it lower down the seam into larger pockets and cavities. This trickle effect also helps to create the golden iron coating on the quartz.

Here we have a couple golden Healer clusters being pulled from a dry pocket at Quartz City Mines
There were a few larger ones that came out after these we will bw showing soon!

As we head to Tuscon, here's another one we will definitely come across. It's called smelting quartz. But there's nothing quartz about it. This is just glass, colorful glass but glass all the same.

Here's a few things you can look for when you want to start finding your own crystals! The first of which is crystals or chunks on the ground. When you see these yoy are going to follow them uphill to to where they disappear and then dig in, there is probably an eroded vein that you can dig out. The second thing to look for is large fallen rocks or outcroppings with tiny veins in them . When you find this, keep looking, and as you find larger veins, you will start to search down towards ground level and in a little bit this is the fun part where you might start finding really exciting stuff! At this point, it's just a matter of time!
If you enjoy this sort of content, please give us a like or a comment to let us know what we are doing is valued, and we will make sure to do more posts like this! Thank you so much for taking the time to tune in, and we hope to see you next time!

Cute little tabby from a dig at Twin Creek a couple years back. Love everything about this piece!

#omearthcrystals this piece was dug from Quartz City Mines in Arkansas.
The 2 types of crystal veins we are going over today are dry pockets and clay pockets. ⛏️
In a quartz vein, it's common for the top portions of the vein to have the clay filtered down over time into the lower portions of the vein. This filtering effect causes the top crystals to be much more visible and, at times, create a very nice oxide coating, creating the golden healer effect you see in the video. ✨️
The second type of vein is less dramatic to look at but produces larger crystals due to their protection from the clay and elements. This was a really short amount of time to go over a very lengthy topic, that even after years of mining I'm still learning so much about! Feel free however to ask any questions, and I will do my best to answer them! We are here to help🙏⛏️✨️

Little Herkimer magic, I just love how these pieces come out as perfectly formed "diamonds". These crystals were first named this in the late 18th century when workers found them in rather large quantities while cutting into the dolomite. Geologist then began exploring dolomite outcroppings and named these gems after the county they were found in.
While this formation is not unique to the Mohawk river valley, whether they be pakimers, arkimers, or payson diamonds nothing in my opinion compares to a Herkimer in quality and clarity
