Fieldtrip Report:

Crabtree Emerald Mine,
Grassy Creek Township, N.C.
August 16th, 2008

Official Fieldtrip of the Henderson County Gem and Mineral Society

Jack King brought this nice matrix specimen he collected about 50 years ago.

Ken hit the jackpot again with a big boulder full of golden and lime green beryl.

Everyone I saw had at least a small sample of emerald and many nice big beryls were found. Overall a great trip for the club.
