Digging smoky quartz out of decomposed granite. As the granite breaks down, it exposes quartz that formed from silica-rich fluids deep underground. The smoky colour comes from natural radiation over time. Crumbly feldspar and iron staining are good signs you’re close to a crystal pocket. #Quartz #Smokey #pocket #prospecting | Wild Earth Treasures
