Steve picked out a new spot for us to rip and tear into the ledge and contains single water clear crystals and clusters.  We started caping early in the morning chiseling out a 1" tall by 6" wide by 6" deep hole in the rock close to the floor.  Once the cape was in place, anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour later the hole would be adequate enough for a piece of steel to be inserted.  Once the steel was in place we could form a steel wedge that would eventually break the rock apart or away from the rest of the rock.  The crack that formed in the rock was a lot bigger than either of use invisioned and soon we had several 3 ton boulders to break up into smaller pieces.  Mining at the Ace of Dimaonds mine is certainly not for everyone I've heard out of several of the regular miners here.  I soon understood why.  Mining here is HARD work, and if you're not careful you could easily injure yourself and those around you.  Then there are the tourists that come here you'll see all kinds of mishandling of tools.  One tourist was swinging a axe with the axe head turned around so the flat side was hitting the rock.  Everytime he swong the axe would bounce back towards his face and he would pull the axe a certain way so it wouldn't split his head open.  We try to minimalize the amount of danger we put ourselves in because hands do get hit with sledge hammers, and fingers do get crushed, but we certainly won't be a contestant on the TV show '1000 ways to die'.  Day 2 we found a sub pocket that contained around 6-8 water clear crystals that are a part of a cluster.  We will reconstruct the crystal cluster tonight after we finish our grilled samon dinner.
