The road out to the Planet mine is a good road. Easy compared to some I have been on throughout the year.. I wish I was able to make it out there with you all this year. I passed on some directions so you all should get to some new areas this year!! I hope you all have fun and find some nice stuff!!

There is a site about 100 miles North of where I got this where they are mining silicified variscite, which is much harder than normal variscite. The color range also fits variscite as does its color change in response to high heat. Therefore, I am pretty sure it is a variscite, but I am trying to get it analyzed to make sure. I checked with two places that do XRF, but both places stated that their testing does not include aluminum. That would be worthless since variscite is an aluminum phosphate. I found a lab in Canada that does various tests on minerals including testing by atomic absorption spectrometer for a real reasonable cost. So I plan to send them a sample of this along with some other minerals I need testing on anyway. Hopefully I will have a definitive answer as to what this stone is soon. [/quote]
Would you mind sharing the name of the company doing the testing? I have some material I would like to get tested also
