This 37″ x 25″ pocket of over 100 aquamarine and other crystals is called Diane’s Pocket and was discovered in 2004 near the summit of Mount Antero. It is the largest aquamarine find in North America, discovered by amateur Steve Brancato. It’s on permanent display at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
