Here's a little item I found on another forum.
http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id...onds_to_surface  This thin slice of a kimberlite rock from northern Canada, seen through a microscope and in polarized light, shows colorful minerals caught up in magma that rose from deep within the Earth. Leonard |

Snow? LOL Diamond miners are made of sterner stuff..... Road to work!
Build in cooler box!
Cleaning the windscreen a light snow dusting.... GMF
As you can see we don't care much about a little bit of ice....The only good ice is them ones you can put in Whiskey The rest one ignores! Get out there and do the thing! lol DD |

Love the pics! Too good! I think it's safe to say you're much further along in the process than me, but just as crazy lol! I'm just getting on the scent. It's funny because I've been wondering if you are in SA or the states and that answers that question. I was out and panning/sampling just last week after work.
