Your welcome ryan . On Mindat read the first pinned post about info you need to provide for an ID. You find some pretty cool stuff. Thank you I'm starting to find out why I don't find anything online about my area or the gore range mountains. And on mindat I read the part on clear photos which made me feel sorry for the crummy pics I've been posting I'll get my pictures straight and clear from now on and I'll replace old fuzzy pics sorry. Also I got thumbs up to showing Id makes everything that much more credible. Thanks again MrMike |

Hopefully you can get some good info on your specimens. You've definitely got a knack for rockhounding. |

That's really cool to hear! What im usually finding is shistocity in the mica allowing the epidote to bleed through the stone turning the mica green. So when I saw clean epidote veins I had to ask why. Here's a picture of what I usually find the width of the stone is 8" thanks again glennz01 flic.kr/p/PUoKhQ |

Here's a picture of what I usually find the width of the stone is 8" thanks again glennz01 flic.kr/p/PUoKhQlooks like feldspar which is also common in diorite areas It's got pink and white feldspar, dark green is chlorite, light green is epidote and it's got bead size chunks of quartz. And I'm sorry I do find diorite just not with any epidote or chlorite. Here's a picture of a few chunks flic.kr/p/PdkQJS |
