Blog : Finding Minerals in the Mournes
« on: September 04, 2015 »
A fascinating blog with pictures of a day collecting mineral rocks at Diamond Rocks in the Mournes. I can't work out exactly where Diamond Rocks are, though it does seem to be through Hares Gap from the Trassey. If anyone knows post a reply.

Here it is, there's also a litle cave up there (marked by pink spot below the D of Diamond).

I came across three different types of mineral last time I was in that area
