DMC Field Trip, Willis Mountain, Virginia
Willis Mountain is a favorite collecting location in Virginia. This huge quarry opens up to clubs occasionally and those who are lucky enough to go there are rewarded with minerals including white kyanite, blue kyanite, rutile, hematite, pyrophyllite and a rare mineral called trolleite that has only been found there and in Sweden.
