Foxtail, No I wouldn't say we found high grade material. Mostly the Chrysocolla is veins. When you break a rock, it breaks on the vein & appears that the whole surface is Chrysocolla, but it's a coating that's less than 1mm thick. I did find a couple of pieces that are mostly Hematite with Chrysocolla veins running through. When I slab some up, I'll post pictures. Lynn
