    so in order to mine cummingtonite, do you need other people or can you just pan for it by yourself?

    Any properly schooled Geologist will tell you that there are times when cummingtonite is hard to come by, so you take it no matter how you can get it.

    I don't mean to brag about the Gem State or anything, but cummingtonite is guaranteed if you are looking in Idaho.

    is there a certain technique to guarantee you find cummingtonite when looking for it?

    What you need is the right sized sluice box...

    You have to be careful though, the secret spot of the cummingtonite motherlode is in the midst of Idaho's most voracious cougars.

    Now I know that it's easy to find Cummintonite here on earth... if you know where to look... but how about other places in the solar system?

    For instance...

    I wonder if I can get Cummintonite on Uranus.

    I bet one day Asstronomers will find that Uranus has ample cummingtonite, and high probability of an abundance of railyatonite. But thats just a hunch.

    Efficient spelunking requires a highly trained partner you can count on when things get hard... so yes, I'm sure it does.

    I believe fracking is an appropriate way to get cummingtonite.

    Hard-core fracking is the fastest way to get cummingtonite, that is for sure...

    I heard it's not the sized of the sluice box...but the manner in which it is used.
    Idaho has cougars? I thought they only prowled the east coast?
