This website or the contributor can't guarantee the information here to be accurate or to be up-to-date, although that is the intention for the data. Illegal activity or property damage is not the responsibility of this website, but each visitor is encouraged to review the Rockhound Code of Ethics. Each website visitor is advised also to consider reference sources listed and outside sources in their research before visiting the location.
Location Type: Private Property
Details: I assume this is a private site, but sometimes it is open to the public. You can find information on page 163 (site 67) in Rockhounding Colorado. The prize here is mainly green epidote crystals.
Directions: I used the GPS coordinates from mindat.org. The book has directions, but to save time I'm just doing the GPS coordinates.
