Beryl In the Pocket Zone

A recent trip to the state forest #1 quarry yielded several interesting beryls within feet of the last big pocket. A small cavity with several microclines and smokey quartz was opened as well .
 This is about as gemmy as beryl gets at this locality, and most aren't even tranperent in the slightest bit.
 Like this.

A very fine columbite was found down the road at the Nathan Hall Quarry.
