Also, The Crystal Circle at the Inn Suites may have specimens, The elder of the company Jack Heckscher
has a kick-ass collection of Spruce Claim in his "showroom".

I still do most of the marketing of Spruce specimens. We had a banner season last summer, so there is presently a good supply. PM me if you'd like to see some of what I'm bringing to Tucson. Joe George of Cascade Scepters should have a good stock at the Tucson City Center (former InnSuites), and Stan Esbenshade always has some at Midwest Minerals. Jack Heckscher collected with us at Spruce several times, part of how he and Pete built their excellent collection.
Cabinet specimen in my hands, collected August 2015 Note drill hole visible just behind specimen, how we discovered that vug.

Back in the late 70’s I think that I recall reading that at the base of the mountain there was a hot spring and you guys could come down after a hard day’s work and soak for a while in the spring. I can remember thinking “how cool was that”. The most recent article didn’t tell that story and I was disappointed. Is that true or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Larry & Matt, my apologies if that image now resides in your impression of Spruce. Like most hot springs, Goldmyer is still 'clothing optional'. Would you prefer I replace it with this generic one of how the springs looks today?
