Went out to the peridot area last week to double check for a field trip I lead on June 23 and found some realy good stuf in the magma.
here I am on the hillside banging on the basalt where I see some
one of the first I found about 1/2 inch diameter
bit better about 1 1/2 inch across
if I want i could get a facet piece from this group - but I like the way ma nature did it
kinda neet how mush Peridot( all the green spots) is in there however how do I get it out basalt is really hard
just for giggles I was standing by the spot I unloaded the peridot and noticed it was next to my Colorado KImberlite and almandine dirt( on the right,( weed and grass wont grow in kimberlite dirt- only d--- dandelions ) from the pipe-- it is diamondnific but unfortunately almost all are microscopic. Above the blue spoted rock is IOLITE crystals
Hopee you enjoyed
