Almost every color of the rainbow can be found throughout the easily accessible site of Gemfield, just outside of Goldfield, Nevada, an old gold boon town now almost a ghost town.  We met Sharon a year ago in Beatty, Nevada and discussed the Gemfield chalcedony claim, which she now holds.    Drive into Goldfield from Beatty and on the left is a small building with a big sig, “Official Gemfield Headquarters.”  Sharon is usually there and eager and friendly to tell you what to see and do in Goldfield, along with visiting the Gemfield claim.  This year we had the opportunity to explore Goldfield and dig for the treasure of the Gemfield claim.  Rockhounds and adventurers alike will find something of interest in this little town, once big, between Beatty and Tonapah.

Had fun today working with some of the new rock we collected.

You must have the sun behind you and the rain in front of you to see a rainbow.  We snapped this the day we left Logandale last month.  Ancient people believed wealth could be found at the end of a rainbow.  The Bible tells us the rainbow is a sign of God’s promise that he would never again destroy the earth by flood.

Today we head home to domestic tasks and hopefully some time to work with the stones and other treasures  we have collected, along with some great memories, new friends and more.  Hope your week is blessed.

We experienced massive earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, and windstorms.  We saw early people, pioneer settlers and miners, gold, silver and more.  We are finishing a seven week tour through parts of Nevada and California, celebrating the best of the West in six western towns.

The people, the history, the geology, mineralogy and more!  A big thank  you to Shoshone, Beauty, Logandale, Pahrump, Goodsprings, and Joshua Tree.  It has been a great trip.
