| THE BEST PLACES TO HUNT Regions can have multiple good spots to go — add details to build a complete guide. |
| Location #1: Mount Apatite I Would suggest this place to anyone comming to the area. It is a town park that was once a feldspar mine. It is loaded with treasures if your willing to do a little work General description:Lots of minerals, Tourmaline, Beryl Quartz crystals ect... | How to get there:It is in Auburn Maine, Near the Auburn Suburban little league fields off of Garfield road. |
| Grade this location: (A to F):A | GPS coordinates: |
| Handy to bring along: 1.Shovel 2.Sifter 3.Small Hammer and Chisels | Helpful notes to newcomers:This location has a lot of minerals to be sifted out of the dirt. As you go up the hill, the first pit was the Greenlaw Quarry. this spot still has a lot of Tourmaline and Beryl. I would suggest picking a spot that doesn't look like it's been worked in a while and stick with it. |
| Location #2:Trenton, Havey, and Square Pit quarries General description:The main pit of the Trenton quarry has been flooded, but well formed smokey quartz crystals, green tourmalines and beryls have been found here. At the Square pit quarries, well formed almandine garnets have been found here. I have recently found very good heliodor beryl crystals at this location. | How to get there: |

Massive topaz crystals, some weighing over 50 pounds have been found here. Serious digging in the mine dumps could yield the mineral collector fine specimens. | How to get there: Rock in mineral clubs in the New England Region will sometimes host trips to these mines. |
