Nice slabs! I'm fond of Mariposite too as the type location was just over the hill from my old ranch, the John Fremont Pinetree and Josephine gold mine. A buddy of mine took me down there once and it was amazing to see all the beautiful boulders of Mariposite all over in the creek bed. Mine is posted now but man it would have been cool to gather up a pile of those boulders even if just for yard decoration......Mel
