    Thank you for the fresh content post sir, much appreciated! The weather looked to be quite decent and Daisy was just loving the pond. IMO those were some beautiful specimen offerings in that tailing pile. Orthoclase feldspar, quartz, pyrite(iron&chalcopyrite), malachite, copper, jasper, "speculite?" That's a new one to me! 👍Looked so fun to be out on the hunt, am so stir crazy and chompin at the bit myself to get back out for a good hunt soon~ Was nice going along with you and your faithful companion for the adventure, thanks again! Hope you have a nice week!

    Great rockhounding vid! Love that you were able to get some nice Northern Lights viewing at that beautiful spot. I've only seen the faintest Northern Lights where I'm located once in my life, but one day I'll make my way up north enough to see them on full display 🤩

    I think what you are calling malachite is actually chrysocolla.
