Planet Ranch itself has recently been purchased by Freeport McMoran and is no longer open to the public, but there are several mines located on public land outside Planet Ranch boundaries that are accessible. Swansea is the site of a former min- ing town. This ghost town boasts the remains of a railroad depot, a smelt- er, several mine shafts, two cemeter- ies, some restored miner's quarters, many stone foundations, and inter- esting tailings piles. Swansea is open to the public. For directions and information about Planet Ranch and Swansea, visit Rocks In My Head. We are open at Space A37 in Rice Ranch, 605-376- 8754, www.RocksInMyHead.biz. We also have a great selection of Chrys- acolla in Rhyolite from Planet Ranch, azurite and chrysacolla silicate cabo- chons, turquoise, and really cool cop- per nuggets.
