Mining Majestic Maine Minerals in the Free and Fantastically Famous Frank Perham Quarries of Oxford County

I know, I know...the title of this blog article is a bit of an amazing amalgamation of alliteration, but, as I sit in this hotel room in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on a late morning, it's the best that I can do.

My faithful fellow rockhound-son, Chase, and I headed to Oxford County, Maine on a quest to the quarries of Frank Perham...in pursuit of the crystal pockets in the pegmatites of this mineralogically-rich region. I will be posting a longer field report in the next few days, but for now, enjoy PART ONE of this TWO-PART (eventually) video about our experience.
