THIS IS OLD OUTDATED INFORMATION :   Ivey Farm pay to dig amethyst site is located in Warrenton , Georgia.      I have recently re-opened the place after pumping all the water out and bringing in some serious machinery .  This place is the best place ( maybe the only place ) for people to reasonably expect to come out and find amethsyt crystal , their first day  and every day .    Usually If I am  there I am willing to help !                                                                                                                         Lots of clear quartz and lots of scepters ! Most all amethyst that is not scepter is euhedral or double terminated.  These are mostly big fist size or better .  A lot of the xls are etched or have a heavy white coating but a lot are nice and some are super.  About 10 percent of the crystals are enhydro  . That is to say they have a 2 phase inclusion - a liquid (water) and a gas ( co2 ) . This means you can tilt the crystal and see the bubble of trapped gas move around.  This is way cool !        Since running the equipment I have found a whole bunch of scepters and large crystals . Without a doubt theese same type things are in teh tailings piles.   Always fresh material brought up  ! Over the years I have found ,bought and sold hundreds of pounds of this material .  I still feel a burning desire to dig more , and the only way possible for me to afford to dig  is to allow pay-to-dig activities .  If you are a fieldtrip leader ( if not pass it on ) you'll want to book early on this place  .  If you want to get in on the new/old tailings you'll want to book early .  I will be shortly dragging up so new material .  I ain't telling when !  But if you've booked a day and your there I will  proably be nice and bring you a fresh scoop of material .    I know you are wondering what some of the material looks like . I will be posting a picture of amethsyt from the site on the page titled 'Farm pix ' . Please forward this to any fieldtrip leaders or rockdigging buddies you may have .  Your going to like this place.  For most people it is going to be the best ever , or , at least the best in a looooooong time .  Thanks , Rodney  770-380-8917
