Great rough in Tucson shows Sonoran Sunrise similar colors. Cuprite/Chrysocolla many times with a black line between the two. Finding a new location for this material is pretty cool.

Ok, that sort of looks more like the color... but it's not got the same patterning at all... none of them do.

But I can see why you say it. Maybe it is a new source for Sonora Sunrise... would be nice for James if it were, since Sonora Sunrise is pricey stuff!

If it is I would have no idea where it came from. My last trip I went to maybe 9 mines.

Great, looking forward to seeing the final spheres.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
