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

Here are a few more pics from the last trip down south. My camera doesn't do closeup shots well. My UVC blub burned out, but the UVB is pretty cool on a few pieces. The nodules themselves look pretty cool under the UV. Having difficulty getting a quality pic for yalls. The headless Giraffe from earlier is now called the Bear.
I believe these are little Hematite balls on a bed of Calcite. if you look close there is Calcite growing over them and a couple over grown. more butter and some sloppy 2nds from MikeS' bday pocket. the pocket being open to the elements for a few days oxidized it a little, but still beautiful. -------------------- CP Lifetime Members
