I like to get up here at least once a year. This year I was able to locate another, new mineral locality, magnetite. It's actually spread across three different mountain ranges and I was only able to make it to one, but it paid off. ![IMG_6248.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeyWovLbxepQGmypafQcSWfkKdv2qDuBuipExvNPsA7bH/IMG_6248.JPG) ![IMG_6265.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZgT5e39oHX35VhCnAfABzLhaAujtptKXwrE5RJ4CGifH/IMG_6265.JPG) The magnetites from Utah are different than most others around the world except Pakistan. The magnetite here forms 2 different crystal types, octahedral and dodecahedral. The specimens I found today all belong to the octahedral group. The dodecahedral are very rare and as far as I know are found in only one mine, which I don't know the location of yet. There is also apatite, siderite, barite, amethyst and calcite I found. ![IMG_6267.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaEDVogtBLHYFhCivvDjyPhrFiJcCv5mF5Q4udNfuGk4F/IMG_6267.JPG) ![IMG_6264.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmesBeJs2kNeMCkdb9Gk7UwuG17Js1fcmJXH6u9uYfhFqw/IMG_6264.JPG) One other benefit of being up here is checking out land. I was able to drive by a few of the parcels I was looking at. I'm seriously considering it as Utah promotes rock hounding for tourism. I'm also thinking of offering mineral hunting tours to my Japanese dealers & friends. Gotta stay positive in these crazy times. No time to stop when there is work to do. ![IMG_6235.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYSZGPLNRpi12c8Tu8k1Ctxz5SrhZMxwZJZwGZYbvcDAM/IMG_6235.JPG) Tomorrow I'm going to hunt Red Beryl, one of the rare gemstones in the world. Wish me luck!
