Braathen Min
Braathen group, Tyndall Mining District, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USAWe drove to the GPS co-ordinates for Uncle Arnt Braathen' mine, but couldn't find any mine opening. Walking along the road (it goes to the observatory at the top of Mt Hopkins) we found large quartz crystals and a 5 lb rock with turquoise in it (small patches scattered through out the rock). Well worth the trip.
