Such sad news. Bob Whitmore had the Government contract to extract Beryl crystals from the Yuhas Mine discard piles. In South Acworth NH.

What cool news this is. Hey Amy Stewart have you caught this yet?

Artifacts dating back approximately 9,000 years, discovered in the thawing ice patches of northern British Columbia, showcase the ingenuity of ancient populations. More than 50 perishable items, including birch bark containers, wooden staffs, and a stitched-hide boot, have been recently unearthed. These artifacts, preserved for millennia under ice, along with obsidian prismatic blades indicative of early mining practices, demonstrate the advanced craftsmanship and utilitarian innovation of the region's former inhabitants. The findings emphasize the significance of materials such as wood and obsidian in their everyday existence.

A great illustration . . .

This is what grains of sand look like when magnified 100 to 300 times. Dr. Gary Greenberg's photographs magnify grains of sand 100 to 300 times, exposing swirling microscopic shells, eroded crystals and colorful coral fragments.

Today's adventures included finding Museum Founding Father Ed Ross and having a very good time together!!! We both got to witness a release from the power plant, the power cannel was full to the brink! #JimPecora #photographer #EdRoss NEMMrocks

Opening days at the museum were fantastic. Here is just a smattering of photos.

So cool that nature can make crystals like this!

Some History, spring flowers, and some rocks & sand. Revolurionary War veteran, the Benjamin Pierce homestead in Hillsborough NH, childhood home of our 14th President Nathaniel Pierce. Factiod: Of the original 21 mills on the Piscataway River only one remains in the 21st Century! Same situation as in #MillHollow on #LakeWarren #NH #NewHampshire only one Mill remains standing, #ChasesMill

Videographer Jackson Stone and I had a real treat today, during our one on one personal tour with Curator Brian Robertshaw of the Bead Museum at Beadnicks in Brattleboro, VT. If you wish to visit this most unusual and eclectic mix of gemstones, glass, silver, and global antiquities you can visit on Saturday afternoons 12 to 4pm.

Ice mines are the coolest. This VT locality shot courtesy of "Green Mountain Metal Dectors" The first 12 minutes is trying to find the mine ff if you want to. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=hD6eN6XPwo0

A recent Museum purchase, a rare deformed 18 sided Beryl var. Aquamarine (liken to triplets) from McGinnis Mine in Wentworth, NH. Only one of two source locations - other being Madagascar. Last line of text: "... Because the crystals are well developed and have an unusual combination of prism faces they probably are of more value as laboratory and Museum specimens than as a source of beryllium." If anyone is good at deciphering old handwriting, there are a few words I have difficulty with.
