Details: For details go to the Diamond Hill information page. There is a lot of good information there. You will need to be a small group or part of mineral club group to make reservations. Here is some minerals to collect: "Quartz (milky and translucent) crystal plates, Skeletal (complex crystal sides) quartz crystal plates, Amethyst crystals (uncommon), Smoky quartz crystals (more abundant than Amethyst). Recent micro-mineral finds: Cacoxinite (bright yellow to golden radiating fibrous masses), and Silver (native and argentite) (rare). Also, pseudomorphs of calcite and pyrite."
Here is what you would bring: "If you want to explore the dump piles, bring a scratching tool (like rake or hoe) and a probe (like a big screwdriver) to pry pieces out of the dirt/clay. If you want to work in the native veins, you can bring a pick and shovel, prybar, rock hammer and chisels. Bring your lunch, plenty of fluids, sunscreen, a hat, gloves, sturdy boots, newspaper for wrapping crystals, and buckets/boxes for carrying crystals. Bring rubber boots and a change of clothes if the ground is wet or there is a good chance of rain."
