Here's some stuff that I found while coming out of my hoot owl done the chicken spot last summer. It was getting late and when the sun goes down, it gets blacker than shade in a coal mine, and is not an area you want to be wandering around in the dark, so I didn't have time to search for more. Too much snow up there now, so I will have to wait until early summer to prospect the area some more. Anyway! the pic's were taken with the material dry, and they are close up pic's, the actual size of the pieces are 2 to 2 1/2 inches wide. Robert.

Thanks GB kid. I'm not set up for polishing or cabbing, all I do is slab for now. Even though a couple of these samples look like they were slabbed, they were not! other than washing them off they were photographed exactly how they came out of the ground. Robert.

Should cut some nice cabs.
