There are some pits that are not on this map. It has some challenging terrain and some of the pits you cannot get to (by vehicle anyways) I have snorkeled 8 of them (a couple of them I will never do again) & cannot wait to get out and explore more Some idea of what it is like (Pipe Pit-the divers are hilarious) files.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/state_parks/sra00302.pdf |

Love that last one. Although the colors are different, the patterns, shapes, and overall feel remind me of Van Gogh's "Starry Night.". Beautiful! |

More Van Halen than Van Gogh, huh? Good one Rich. How about Van Morrison? It's not a matter of being refined, it is just knowing and remembering beautiful things that strike a chord with you. I've always loved this and a few others of his paintings. I'll bet you'd recognize this painting when you see it:  Do you see the resemblance I'm speaking of? If you like rocks, and I know you do, then you appreciate beauty, too. |

The colors in the white and pink are usually found on the surface and have been bleached by the sun for eons.

MsAli I liked your post. I was unaware that MEJ came in green this is good to know. The green would indicate that the Iron is not Fe2O3 (Hematite - red) and Fe3O4 (magnetite -black) but also (K,Na)(Fe3+,Al,Mg)2(Si,Al)4O10(OH)2 (Glauconite -Blue-green, yellow-green, green, rarely colorless.)

If you like rocks, and I know you do, then you appreciate beauty, too. Ok , maybe refined was the wrong term , an undeveloped appreciation of (some) arts . But yes , a huge appreciation of beauty in so many things around me every day . Wow , there is a striking resemblance between Van Gogh and my rock . Guess my coloring lessons paid off after all .  Sorry , but had to look up Van Morrison . Back to being unrefined . |
