Field Trip December 21, 2012

Friday, December 21, 2012 Field Trip Leader: Rick Bickman (928-754-3386) There will be a trip directly west of Searchlight, NV to find Pearlite, Apache Tears (Obsidian) and Ryolite geodes. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is necessary for this trip. Simple rock hammers should be enough for tools. We will leave the Golden Nugget in Searchlight at 9:00 AM (AZ time) sharp. It is approximately 15 miles to the dig site from Searchlight. I’m sure there will be rider seats available if you do not have access to 4-wheel drive vehicle
