Spruce Claim has become famous for producing some of the best pyrite and quartz combination specimens in the world.

The claim is located on the steep north sides of the rugged valley of the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River, northeast of North Bend. Access is gained by driving a rough, but scenic, route up a forest road, then hiking a very steep route through the forest.

Collecting is allowed on a fee basis only. The claim is owned and mined by Geology Adventures.
