I figure we more than got our money's worth in crystals but we had a lot of fun as well. The only downside was a few stiff back muscles. Oh there was also all of the nasty red clay we had to wash out of our clothes. 
And yes rose quartz comes in clusters as well. AFAIK all quartz varieties can be found in clusters including clear, rose, amethyst, smokey, rutilated, elestial, citrine, dendritic, and enhydro quartz.

Yeah I suspected they all grow in clusters, since they are the same thing in essence. I just never see a rose quartz cluster sold in stores. Usually, they are polished or carved into ornaments etc. So, do you sell these to make it worth your while or keep them as souvenirs? I mean, they'd all sell either polished or unpolished. Ever come across Tigers Eye? Or the rarer, Hawks Eye? Just wondering - I hear they don't have that hologram effect until they are polished but would love to see 'em in raw form. Reading up, they are mostly found in Africa or Asia. I am curious if there are ANY places to mine them in the US at all.
