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

Just weighed my pack with my second load in it... 70 pound... plus a bucket with these 2 pieces weighing 46 pounds and a few smaller pieces. I could have done a little surgery and pared them down a bit, but it was dark already and having them still attached to a large chunk of matrix is pretty cool.
Washing them up now with a little soap and water. -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558
