Hello,

This was a huge vug that extended way to the right of where the camera was aimed aimed. Amazing spider web like material (Mesolite) that we found covering the Chabazite. You could actually blow on this material and see it wave around.

My partner heard about Mesolite taking a form like this....I will post close ups of the material we found with my 35mm which will show it up much better....look back for posts in a few days for those.

Here are some pics with the bad camera on location.

The moon as we hiked really early;


Here is the sunrise overlooking Denver from the top;


Here is the vug still in the massive boulder;










And here is the material from mainly the vug we chipped away;





Finally, here is a boulder just hanging out in the area;

Looks like it was a great day Hawkewind! Beautiful finds. Good thing you went out looking for them before the snow flew......Those look like they would be hard to find in the snow. wink.gif

Thanks for the report, and keep those cool pictures coming.
