Slabs from some of the material. The matrix is quartz with malachite veins and in turquoise in these slabs.  A cab from an earlier piece collected from the mine:  |

Pretty amazing!
I've never been in a turquoise/malachite mine with veins like that

What a haul! That made a lovely cab, with the combo of brecciated matrix and turquoise veining.

Made another trip back to the mine. While there I decided to climb up to another nearby mine that is harder to reach. Worth the trip up though. Here are some of my favorites I collected from that mine.   |
