[QUOTE="Jesslentil, post: 672806, member: 22490"] I am still absolutely learning as well and I think I share most of your questions! But I’m slowly slowly building my understanding by hiking in granitic areas and just getting up close and personal with granite boulders and bedrock 😂 I’m always looking for signs of crystal points popping up in the earth and then trying to follow them to more concentrated sources. The one time I’ve had success finding a spot to dig where no one else has dug before was when I found a big Quartz vein that opened up into a crevice within a boulder which I’ve started prying open. I’m not sure if this is a pegmatite I found? Or if pegs and veins are different? I’m still learning and finding it hard to hold all the new words and concepts in my brain 😂 [/QUOTE]
