Fieldtrip Report:

Crabtree Emerald Mine
Mitchell County, N.C.
Thanksgiving Dig!
November 28th-30th, 2008

Crabtree emerald in matrix.

Kens daughter Michelle found the largest green beryl crystal I have ever seen from the Crabtree Mine. It is a huge translucent glassy beryl on matrix with some small emeralds in the matrix with it.

Joe Moylan brought his cleaned emerald he found at the mine a couple of trips back.

Nice twin beryl crystal.
