I got this slab years ago and it was not ID'd. I know it's from the Owyhees but don't know the name of the mine. I've searched Hans Gamma's first book and came up with some "possibles: Painted Desert, Bonanza and Shadow Mountain. Does anyone know for sure?  |

Maybe rockjunquie can look in his 3rd book that she just got and posted about and see if it's in there.  |

Yeah, I can look it up.  |

According to the images in the book, it isn't Bonanza or Painted Desert and I couldn't find Shadow Mountain. It looks most like Cripple Creek.

I agree that it is most likely Cripple Creek.

Thanks for your help rockjunquie , hummingbirdstones , realrockhound and QuailRiver . I agree it looks like Cripple Creek, which I've cut a lot of over the years. To my eye it has some differences. But I'll accept the "juried" consensus and call it Cripple Creek. Thanks all! |
