Craig, you're doing it right! You often reflect back and mention how your Grandad worked hard to get this all started, his initial efforts were paramount in a family legacy that continues to this day. Imagine if you will his enjoyment knowing you are continuing that lineage and passing it down to the next generation. It speaks well of you that you are not simply harvesting the material and focusing on the profit margin. We all know that Mt Antero Aqua is the standard by which the rest of the gem world measures by, but riches can come from more than just money. I envoy you sir.. not only in the awesome finds, but also in handing down a lasting heritage that will be well documented and remembered for a long time to come.. you're doing it right! Take care, Woody.

The fact that you are not leveling the mountain with shake charge the way most people would approach getting to the treasure is beautiful. Y’all have respect for the land and are keeping it that way!!! I truly believe that is why your experiencing great rewards! Your love and passion shine as bright as those crystals.

I am dying and faced with hard hard decisions I drove to mountians to think. I made fun of a guy for getting mad cuz of all the cars at a 4 way stop and I m sorry I think that's childish I laughed hard and then he followed me for an hour I finally lost him turning on dirt paths off roading. I found rubies cuz I ended up a river bed all dried up. I had a friend with me because it was intense it was crazy. I also found an antique cup made from a 6,000 year old giant clamshell. One the most beautiful days ive ever had. I try hard to find it and I havent found it.
