A cache located at the entrance of the Bumpus Mine in Albany.
The Bumpus Mine became famous in the 1930's when it produced the world's largest Beryl Crystal, now resting at the Museum of Natural History (in N.Y.C.). The crystal is nearly 4' in diameter, 6' long, and weighs two tons!
When our kids were in 3rd grade, they took a field trip to the Bumpus Mine. They learned all about mica, feldspar, quartz and beryl. They got to experience digging for minerals and gems and took a tour of the mine.
Please observe the Private Property signs posted and do not cross the stone wall property marker. There is no need to.
