Last Saturday, the fair was taking advantage of mineral Oviedo, and taxes are coming from Galicia Rodrigo Fresco, stayed for a good morning Berbes stonemason, which also Roi is said Sampedro, who picked up the other morning by Roi de Oviedo. We had fixed the areas where we were going to chop, so we went to a fixed shot, after greeting us, the first stop was near Cueto 1, where we have a good time chopping, even to open a geode but the crystals of Fluorite altered. Taking some time and already there without much luck, we go to the Quarry of guinea pigs to have if we had more luck in that area, we set out to there and up the mountain, we planted in the so named "firing squad", where there was any news from the previous month which had already been there, saw a hole where there was a small cave within it, so extreme caution and carefully, I went inside with the flashlight to look around and see if there was anything there that was worth in there. He saw nothing but clay and rock until a part of that gap could guess a quartz vein, and after a couple of shots with the pot and the pointer, I left it a Druze Quartz crystals with a millimeter Barite crystal and fluorite cubes that did not exceed half a centimeter, but with a very aesthetic color, I took a few pieces not too large but beautiful. After taking a few pictures of the area, I began to pick up all the material to go going, because when I came over and had to go for morning to go to the Fair to browse some stones. We had a good day which is important, although the rain threatened a few times, accompanied us a day of sun and quite hot. Geoda and removed, although there were some crystals.
Here you can see the fear of that pocket.
