The Amos Cunningham Farm is known for its beryl crystals, amethyst, and smoky quartz. Collectors dig in trenches and through piles of material.
Though I was not there, I heard from many people that they had a great time. Many thanks to Sarah Timm for pictures from the trip and to the Western South Carolina Gem & Mineral Society for another successful DMC trip!
