The Rucks Pit Crystal Clam Festival

Incredible! – is the most common term used when people see this unusual combination of crystals and fossils. And for good reason: nothing compares to these fantastic specimens that bridge between the worlds of paleontology and mineralogy.

History – Discovered in the 1990s in Rucks Pit, an aggregate quarry near Lake Okeechobee, Florida, these fantastic crystal-lined fossil clams quickly became famous in both the mineral and fossil world. Alas, a dozen years after they were discovered, the mining played out, the quarry flooded, and the site was closed for good.

Several years later, Pacific GeoLab researched this rare occurrence and arranged exclusive access and rights to the fossils at the old Rucks Pit quarry. Since then, we have discovered and opened several sites on the old quarry property, where we excavate the crystallized clams that made Rucks Pit world-famous.
