I'm hoping to take our rock club to the Opal Hill Fire agate mine near Blythe, CA during the Pow-Wow weekend in Jan. It's listed in the Gem Trails of So Cal book. The phone number provided is disconnected. A web site I found said it may be under new ownership. Does anyone know if the mine is offering fee digging? Contact info?
I went south on Wiley Wells Rd last Jan and hunted the non-fire Desert Chalcedony that is found all over the desert. I found 2 pieces with fire. I'm sure there's more up in the hills to the east of WW Rd.
Even if there's no fee digging available, does anyone know of the best area to hunt Fire agate in that area?
