Excellent.! Not sure why I didn’t think of the pens? That would have made my printing more legible Ha  Not sure these are the ones Butte add a splash of color to mohstheme I went to Harbor Freight and bought some inexpensive brushes Used some of the paint I had when I fixed my windshield crack with epoxy Anyway good idea! If I do another one for fun & games I’ll be interested to know if the leaverite been moved ...  thanks fernwood Beth ! |

Yep there are lots of huge chunks of chryscholla and/or copper complex type of rough The embankment is probably from a dynamited rock blast of some mine Dumped there to preserve the Salt River bank I have found 2 of these river embankments in the Salt River separated by many miles. Most of that chrys is heavily weathered. Butte I have found some solid pieces. Finding that copper heart is the real find for me. Not sure anyone else know about it. Or would even care? But its unique natural occurring formation.  Anyway I keep hounding around the 2 areas … |

mohs I was finally able to sharpen the painted rock you posted.  Isn't it funny that certain rocks, like the above Chrysocolla, are used as fill near where they are common? In the Wisconsin Blue Hills, the County used Baraboo Quartzite as fill around some boat landings. There is a large deposit of the Quartzite nearby that was being mined at the time. It was mostly being crushed for road gravel.

Hi fernwood The leaverite rock is still in place !  So maybe the person is getting the clue  Random fine rock specimen are cool left in place.  I was talking to the lady who takes care of the rose bushes She out there tending the plants all the time I got to ask her if she likes polished stones? Been dropping a few ha ha Other wise it was gneiss cruise after a rainstorm The other side of the praying monk  |

 Salt River Project is releasing water From their higher mountains reservoirs Due to overflow from snow melt.  The normally mostly dry Rio is really flow rapidly For miles & miles. Like probably 70 miles  A week or so it will bottom out  see what was uncovered… |
