Take a look at this vug filled with chalcopyrite, pyrite, and a variety of quartz crystals discovered by one of our guides the other day. Even with over a hundred years of history at the Phoenix Mine, we're still finding things that make this place ROCK!

We had the awesome opportunity to give a tour to our fellow Colorado tour mines as a part of this year's Tourist Mine Workshop, which was hosted just down the road at the Edgar Experimental Mine!

It was great to see everyone this year, and huge thank you to the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Satey and the Edgar crew for putting the meeting and tour opportunities together!
