Well i threw a whole bunch of this stuff in my tumbler (rough grit) and this is the best piece i think... might even cab it. Easy to get and i can get a whole truckload in a matter of picking up or cracking the boulders. Thought i'd share. It comes in a few different colors but mostly browns tans blacks and sometimes white that i have seen thus far.

Cool piece! Looks like trees in winter. I would definitely try to cab it an see how it turns out.

Well I got a few more oieces out of my tumbler and it is great stuff depending on the piece... One piece was like a green / blue color and had some bornite in it (which i thought was strange). It was the only piece i found like that but i will be exploring that area more next year. I will cab this stuff up i think... probably rough tumble first to show me the designs if it isn't too large. Its rather soft as well.
If i really get bored not finding stuff i might go explore what i can during winter..
If anyone wants some feel free to pm me.. It is possible (if theres still not much snow) that i might go up this weekend to check it out.
