During the summers, I continue to explore the Lemhi County, Idaho USA mines in search of where the cyanotrichites came from, labeled as the Peacock Mine, near the community of Leadore. Lemhi County is very large and not well developed, with large roadless expanses. Lanny Ream believes the source of the cyanotrichite is in fact the Iron Dike Mine, which is located about 1/2 mile east of the Peacock Mine. He found scraps of cyanotrichite there, but not on the dumps of the Peacock mine. Most collectors concur with his assessment. He may be right, but I am still looking into other possible locations. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I think it must be an Ed Mcdole locality. Ed spent quite a bit of time field collecting in Lemhi County. He discovered a fabulous ferrimolybdite locality there. Inch long free standing plumes. I stopped in at a tavern in Darby, Montana to see if I could find anything about a locality in the area. One guy didn't know about that locality, but he told me about a guy with a black Lincoln which had dynamite in the trunk. He said he told that guy about the weird yellow crystals just across the state line. Of course I knew that was McDole, and I knew what the yellow crystals were, and my next stop was at the remote mine.
