Hi all, Although I dont join in on many contests, I do like offering them.....the sharing is the best part of this hobby! What we have here is a small lot of Azurite/Malachite in Chrysocolla from a CLOSED LOCATION. It is your job to guess the name of the mine that this material came from. I will start with just one hint. Each day that no one guesses correctly, I will offer another hint. There is no closing date on this contest........I will offer hints until there is a winner. This could be easy and end quickly......or it may be difficult, we shall see. ;D I have very little of this material......most is just chips. What I am offering are the biggest pieces so that they can be cabbed. I purchased this material because I just love historical things and to have material from a now closed mine is just too cool!!! PLEASE NOTE: There are a couple of people that CANNOT join in on this contest. "Whats mine is yours, what's yours is mine". This material also belongs to wolfden so obviously he cant guess LOL ;D tonyterner cannot join in because I already sent him some of this material. Although, his short term memory is pretty dang short so he has probably already forgotten the locality HAHAHAHA If he happened to remember and he told Amber, Amber would also not be eligible to join. HINT #1 This material is from Arizona. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!! Shannon

Man, that's gorgeous stuff! I'll guess the obvious ... Ray Mine, although I doubt it's correct.
Thank you VERY much for this contest!

Well shoot! I leave for 90 minutes to go for a bike ride and I come back to a winner LOL I had a feeling this one would be easy. The winner is..........wyobrian with The Bluebird Mine!!!!! Congratulations on winning the shortest contest ever LOL pm me your address and I will get this sent out to you this week. Amber, yes Tony should have to share with you.....especially after calling you a smart a$$. He SAYS he remembered the name but I dont believe it. I KNOW what his memory is like, Im surprised he remembers your name actually. Shannon
