‘Treasure’ found
in old mine

From page 47

Nagel said those two features
make it extremely valuable to pco-
ple who are interested in crystals.
In fact, it’s so valuable that Nagel
says it should be a_ national
heritage site.

Crystals are formed when water
containing minerals trickles down
the walls of underground open-
ings. As the chemical nature of the
water changes, the crystals change
in color and shape.

“At Rock Candy mine these
underground pockets are unusually
large and there are many of them.
That’s why it has produced thou-
sands of specimens,’’ Nagel says.
“I've seen an underground pocket
that’s four feet wide and 35 feet
long lined with crystals.”

Under terms of the agreement,
the university retains access to the
mine, first marketing rights to the
best crystal specimens, and a per-
centage of the profits.

“The best specimens from Rock
Candy Mine could be worth thou-
sands of dollars,’’ Nagel said.
