Overview
A rarity to find in the modern era of prospecting. Located deep in the Carson National Forest the Kyanite Outcrop 002 Lode covers 20.66 acres of a known Kyanite Gemstone deposit. Featuring blue, gray, and iron colored kyanite intermixed within a sizeable outcrop of metamorphic rock.
Mining can be done with simple rock hammer and chisel as the sheer volume of Kyanite creates a great location to extract this valuable mineral. Fresh Kyanite can be chipped from the outcrop or there are several small tailings piles left over from the 1940's era miners to pick thru.
The claim features several pits, open cuts, and outcrops still containing Kyanite.
The benefit to mining is New Mexico is of course the mining friendly regulations and relatively cool summer mining season. Add in a long 7 month mining season and this claim is the perfect mining getaway.
