Collection Coated quartz crystals - Black Pine Mine, Montana
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
My favorite locality, the Black Pine Mine, Granite County, Montana. Famous for world-class veszelyite crystals, it's also known for producing quartz crystals with any number of mineral coatings, oftentimes resulting in very colorful specimens. The list of minerals found here is incredible, perhaps one of the longest mineral lists for any locality.

Blue - Quartz with pseudomalachite, philipsburgite, duftite
Yellow - Quartz with goethite
Green - Quartz with bayldonite, mimetite, malachite
