Here are some pictures of the Calcite finds that Dave and I found this last weekend in southeast Colorado.
Unknown mineral found in a Calcite vein. It it very fragile and made of tiny red cubes. Our best guess is Hematite after Pyrite. -------------------- |

Thanks Mike. Great pictures you guys.
You made me jealous to miss the trip so I went outside of Pueblo Reservoir and collected a good amount of calcite out of about 4 nodules. Two of them were about 2' in diameter and 2 were over 5' in diameter and then I collected some random pieces from some nodules that rolled out of the side of the hill and broke up on the way down. All in all I gave myself back problems but I didnt pick up anything near as good as the ones you guys brought back. That's high quality. -------------------- "Life's hard.
