Basically a bunch of images of places I was prospecting above Creston. Some nice black tourmaline - massive and in crystals, most pieces shattered when trying to get it out of the host rock, some tiny green beryl crystals, gemmy, but too small, and following the vein of pegmatite couldn't find the source, and other photos taken in the field...
Beautiful exposure of pegmatite, quartz, black tourmaline, fine mica,
Massive black tourmaline (in boulder next to log)
Finer tourmaline crystals, garnet
Small pale green beryl in shadow at center of pic.
Pegmatite.

I've a hundred pounds of this or so, Galena - Silver Ore, with Pyrites, Sulfites, freshly broken it displays the cleavage, cubic crystal structure on black mirrored faces, over time they quickly oxidize and turn orange or rust brown. But a pretty rock, and you can usually guess it by it's weight.

I didn't get a picture, sorry, but earlier in the day had spotted a red smear upon the road, roadkill, that went from the right side to the left, something had dragged it over the embankment down towards the lake.
And that evening, in the headlights, beside the road, a cougar and 2 cubs, the first one I've ever seen, and the next morning and evening I see glimpses of it again. It kind of makes you a bit nervous about spreading out your blanket and sleeping, this is a little bit close to where I've been spending the night, never one to set up a tent I just might have to start...

An old discovery, sharing now, I'd forgotten I'm sorry...
There will be a lot more "old discoveries" as I sort through everything. I've been a long time away from technology and am just catching up...
