CEREMONIAL RICHOLITE

Samples of Richolite carved and polished.

Back somewhere in the '20s  I think Tiffany had a claim on this mine, and produced some very finely hand crafted products from this material..  Collectors this is one of the rarest materials that I have ever mined or used it's quality can only be described as high grade.  If you have never been to Richolite Canyon I'm going to take you there now. As we enter the canyon reptilian life is present  everywhere you look. Lizards, frogs and snakes everywhere. A hawk  perched high above keeps an eye open for all movement on the floor of the canyon . As if to be shopping for dinner. Time seems to stand still ,as your eyes take in everything, your mind and spirit  feel the presents of life as it was meant to be.  As you stand there all things come into focus .take a deep breath, look around you it is incredible. Funny how animals take on the color and the formation of their surroundings. The animals did exactly that, taking on the color and look of the canyon, In the rock related books they call Richolite the reptile stone because of its extraordinary color. Nature, one of God's great gifts to be enjoyed by all .

Imagine a Canyon that's approximately 3 blocks wide at the entrance and narrowing down to 1 1/2 blocks wide at the back..  The walls of the canyon are approximately 700 feet high of both sides and goes straight up, very steep walls. The bottom of the canyon is filled with sand and big boulders that have washed down throughout the years of hard rains. The color is from a translucent yellow to an opaque green and yellow with black lines, extraordinary to see veins of rock that are approximately 500-2000 feet thick  coming right up out of the ground and shooting  up into the sky. The first time I saw Richolite Canyon I couldn't quite believe my eyes . I've mined rock for quite a few years and have been to allot of different mines ,this one stands out ,to be truly unique  it's probably the most beautiful deposits of stone that I have ever seen. I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing what a beautiful place to spend the day and the plus is to mine some rock too. At the back of Richolite Canyon there is a beautiful waterfall and when the monsoons come in  the  canyon turns into a paradise. located in the middle of the desert, what a wonderment this is for the senses. There we are a visit to Richolite canyon smelling the wildflowers and feeling the natural beauty of the stone, we definitely have to plan another journey to the canyon.

Now that we have traveled to Richolite Canyon  the beauty and extraordinary formation of this rock is truly incredible. Sometimes it's hard to express in words how beautiful and magnificent some places are here on earth. I am looking forward to talking to you all again, remember the sun rises and sets all around you every day no matter how difficult things may seem, have a great day see you on the trail.

The color varies from yellow to translucent green. Richolite is about 4-5 in hardness on the Mohs scale. Richolite is a high-grade carving stone and is a pleasure to carve.
