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. -------------------- |

What about using a cordless hammer drill in addition to your current arsenal of hand tools? From my years of demo these things are handy. You can use various chisel bits to pinpoint what you're trying to open up.

That and a couple extra batteries and it might be good for a few days if you only use it on the tough spots! -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558
