On Saturday, September 26, we went to Amethyst Hill,
north of Wickenburg Arizona. Ed Davis took us to the Purple Passion Mine and the Monarch Mine, where we found Wulfenite, Fluorite Octahedrons, Fluorescent Minerals, Chalcopyrite, Malachite, and who knows what else! Ed and his friends did a bunch of work to make sure we had a successful and enjoyable collecting trip, and it sure payed off for us! Ed even hired two rattlesnakes to do the Lambada for us, just across the street from the Geode locality he showed us!
