Tim,

I figured  you were teasing, or at least "mostly" teasing. There is 
rutilated quartz at the  epidote location north of the road to Paddy 
Flats, NE of Donnelly (for those who are lost, we're talking western 
Idaho). Haven't seen much, only found fragments myself, so don't know 
how good it is. These crystals from Golden are quite nice and make me 
drool. Too many places to explore and way too little time!

Regards,

Lanny
