Chrysacola can be polished if you stabilize it. It has to soak for at least two weeks in a combination of epoxy and napha in cool conditions. Refigerate in summer while soaking
They're different minerals. The ones in the video are chrysocolla, which is softer than turquoise. Both have copper in them and can have similar color.
It's true about mica schist getting softer in water just use a hard plastic pick like a tooth brush handle to pick off the mica while it's submurged in water. Don't use steel as it can scratch the garnet crystals. Garnet is a 4 on the hardness scale steel is a 5.
Not sure. I went with a mineral club who had permission. I couldn't get a straight answer about whether you're allowed on your own without explicit permission. I personally wouldn't risk it.
I went with a mineral club, who got permission to go. I'm pretty sure it's not just open to the public, although things might have changed since I went.
+Nancy Graham I almost always go on trips with a club so that I don't have to worry about trespassing. Based on what I've seen, the local mineral clubs are careful about ensuring they have permission before setting up any field trips. I'm surprised by Donald G's comment that this was trespassing. I'd trust that the club had permission through some authorized entity. As for liability, club members sign waivers for such things, so I'm not seeing how that's a big issue. Either way, I recommend playing it safe and going with a club.
+r0b0d0g Well you had better start checking yourself because permission wasn't given. You have one trustee owner telling you that and now I am telling you that... and I am one of the owner trustees. Y'all trespassed on private property. And you stole the samples that you took. Like I said, in the future it would be in your best interests to get permission for yourself or not post videos of you trespassing.
I'm sorry, I don't even know who you are and you want me to prove something to you? My dad was Swede Hanson and yes, he was one of the trustees to the mine. When he passed away, that went to me. The mine was sold this past January, so I am no longer in that position. The other trustees were Donald Goodheart (its was his mother's trust) and Joe Dodge. See any of THOSE names in your research? Don Goodheart also told the guy to stay off the property... and that was after I had sent a link to the video to Don. Good enough?
No, as a trustee owner we cannot give permission for rock hounding. There are too many liability issues. This Flatirons mineral club was trespassing and I am surprised they even posted a video showing their illegal activity. DO NOT GO THERE WITHOUT PERMISSION OR YOU MAY BE PROSECUTED FOR TRESPASSING!

That's term policy is that better by using grip grip will always work the best with type a rock
What is the difference between turquoise and those blue polished rocks you showed in the end?
They're different minerals. The ones in the video are chrysocolla, which is softer than turquoise. Both have copper in them and can have similar color.
Send one for me
Cool I might go there some day
I did not know you could find chrysocolla in Colorado.

How it works? People can go without permition?.

nice finds! some of that stuff looks like gem silica.
I have a kind of stone, what is the price in the market?
You didn’t even go inside lol
from Castle Rock - native
It looks like a garnet at 3.45
Is this location public to rock hound or on private property/claim?

@@r0b0d0g yeah definitely not going to risk it thanks for check bro.

do you have to pay to go dig there or can i just go ?
I went with a mineral club, who got permission to go. I'm pretty sure it's not just open to the public, although things might have changed since I went.

+Nancy Hanson Graham lol. You sound like a great time. Good video!
Nancy Hanson Graham can you prove you're a trustee owner???? I don't see your name anywhere on the website or in any of my research.
