Is the moss translucent?

depends on the moss. Some is, some isnt. Here's a great example of what it can yield

There really isn’t much of this kind left. And what is, is of lower quality. In that first pic, on the lower half, that’s the main stuff that’s left. It’s a dense material with no real variation in color. Just drab. I did a lil excursion a year or so back and located a nice vein of this stuff. Absolute pain in the ass to get it out. Dynamite would’ve been nice 😂. I prefer the stuff with the moss in it. I do know one more hidden spot that has some of the dense material that has a better play in colors. However it’s almost like opal and just shatters when you try to get it out f the vein. If I could go in with a mansonry saw it would be easy work. But I know if blm found out I did that, they would poop their pants and probably lock me up.

Pick out the best ones and probably throw some other stuff in to fill out a small flare rate. Probably this week or next week I’ll send it out. I can’t think of anything I want in return atm. So don’t worry about it. I just enjoy getting stuff I personally mined out into others hands.

I was just going to throw this crap in the junk pile, but since MsAli wants it, its hers lol In the second pic. You can see that the white stuff has orbing similar to misty mountain. Thats pretty cool I suppose.
