A close-up image of the McHone Mine pegmatite. The greenish-white opaque crystals are microcline feldspar (amazonite). The blue arrows point to yellowish, weathered, spodumene crystals. The black arrows point to pods of bluish-green chlorphane fluorite. Mica and quartz crystals (no arrows) are scattered throughout the pegmatite. For scale, in the center of the photo is a U.S. quarter dollar coin. |
