In 2015, Kyle Warrington (Sacred Geology), former Delaware resident and then a Colorado transplant, discovered a promising 1-meter pocket that he named the Astro Pocket. It would later become Astro Pocket No. 1. It produced smoky quartz and fluorite. It is best known for its cubic fluorite that is mostly colorless but purple on the four corners of the cube. By July 2019, this pocket was exhausted.
