We use a rope to lower ourselves down a decline mine shaft (very safe) to the 125' level called the "Blue Room" because the walls are blue from natural mineralization. You can find an area you like to hammer and chisel minerals or ore off the walls. This mine is very unique for many reasons. One is that many of the ceilings are natural caverns. When finished collecting your specimens, we will walk out a horizontal shaft to the outside, and climb back up to the top where we started. 

While other mines and caverns tell you "Do not touch the walls", I want you to touch the walls and ceilings with a hammer and chisel, so you can take home beautiful minerals along with silver ore.  Most Arizonans don't realize that 300 million years ago, the state of Arizona was at the bottom of a sea.  You may find fossils with sea creatures, trilobites and such which have been extinct for over 300 million years.
