Here, the grandeur of the lake; Here, the truth as from the hillside
posted in Collecting Locations, Filming |Before leaving, Tom told us about a stauralite and garnet location in Lisbon, New Hampshire, beside Pearl Lake. Justin had directions from an old publication, but the area had changed quite a lot over the years, so the roads weren’t exactly what we expected. After a little bit of back-tracking we finaly found the location, across the road from a pull off.
We were shocked to see huge plates of stauralite and garnets in mica jutting out of the dirt, and loose smaller pieces scattered everwhere.
Justin wasted no time, and immediately set to removing a nice large plate.
After loading the car up, we drove just a little further into nowhere to collect pyrite crystals in shale from a road cut.
We collected specimens from the ground and the wall.
Then we crossed the street to collect in the shale beside the stream that paralels the road.
Justin made sure to wrap his best one up so that it would be secure.
