The PC Mine ahs minimal history beyond is specimen production, which first dates to 1983. At that time, the privately owned land was partly lease from Forest Klies by W. C. Van Laer, until 1987. In 1988, Pete Knudsen, Bryant Harris, and Elvis “Buzz” Gray acquired the mining lease and Knudsen would later assume full ownership in 1990. By 2005 any workable breccia was considered mined out. The deposit sits at river level on a private land cabin site. The mine was most well known for its production of Japan Law twin crystals, and tourmaline included quartz crystals. In addition, excellent gem quality sphalerite was also present, with galena, anhydrite and pyrite as well.
This specimen is a cute example of clear quartz with minor associated tourmaline and plenty of muscovite! Excellent natural display, this is a great representative cluster of a now closed, and classic Montana locale!
