Barrel Cactus




I went up to Hatch today to meet some guys with the Deming rock club and do a little field trip to do some collecting out in the wild.

-

East of Rincon on the East side of I-25 there is an old quarry that is very nice and quite productive.

-

I got some fluorite, barite, and calcite there at the quarry. This is where I saw this really beautiful barrel cactus

-

Later in the day I went over South of the Hatch airport looking for some common opal and did indeed find some!
