You're right, that is interesting! Some iron and/or copper, and that other mineralization is worth exploring further (almost looks like stuff associated with datolite and greenstone in the UP).

Excellent find and a very cool rock!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Do me a favor- after you cut it, post the pics in this thread (if you can find it again). That's a really cool rock. I'm dying to see how it cuts. Lots of potential for slabs and cabs.

Yeah! What rockjunquie said!

If I found a rock like that it would "bother" me until I could take a slab off to see what's inside.

Robin will vouch for that - she's the one who suffers through me speculating about how it might turn out until I finally get it cut.

I will definitely post what I find from cutting. Hopefully sooner than later. Thanks!

I think I found another good sized one.
