| You will probably need to make reservations for this site. For more details go to the Morefield Gem Mine website. Here is some information from their website: "The Morefield Mine is a highly mineralized pegmatite dike having a length of 2,000 feet and a depth of 300 feet. It produces over 70 different minerals, with more new ones being discovered. The mine produces mica, feldspar, beryl, phenakite for a few popular ones. It produces minerals of the tantalum/columbite series too. Customers love finding topaz and garnets especially. The children's favorite would be the purple amethyst. The microcrystals are popular with the collectors of micromounts, also. The Morefield is world-famous for the Amazonite, and more can be found on the ground here, than anywhere in the U.S.A." | The directions are at the bottom of the Morefield Gem Mine website.
