Just south of the town of Julian, California is the Thursday Mine.
The mine itself does not look like much at first, but it has some of the best quality lepidolite
The mine is at the top of a ridge overlooking a valley
Another view of the valley
Walking back away from the mine
...and further from the mine
There are several great valley views from here
Meanwhile, back at the mine...
Stepping down into the mine
Another valley view with a shaker table
The miners revel in their finds
