Pyromelana Collecting Records

Most of our efforts at pursuing Arizona Mt Kings have been in conjunction with the monsoons in late summer. However, in recent years we have begun to make some attempts at searching from them in the spring under rocks. Specific localities have been omitted in order to lessen impacts on sensitive rock piles.
