History
Crystal Peak Mine was discovered in 1845 and operated during World War II for electronics grade quartz crystals. The mine has been known and mined for over 150 years and still offers a generous allotment take of 5 gallons a week per family--it's up to everyone to T.R.E.A.D Lightly to ensure the area can be enjoyed in another 150 years.
