Microcline var. Amazonite & Quartz var. Smoky Jack...
Microcline var. Amazonite & Quartz var. Smoky Jack Rabbit Mine, Lake George, Teller Co., Colorado, USA "This specimen was dug by Bob Bartsch and myself during six weeks in the summer of 1986?[sic] At that time we dug .624 tons of amazonite and smoky quartz and a few other specimens." - Rock H. Currier Just like Rock: ".624 tons". He couldn't say 1,248 pounds or just round it off. Oh, no. Had to mess with you. He and Bob did a very good job digging the Amazonite, as well as, cleaning and repairing them after the fact (that process took years ... literally years). Needless to say, but we'll say it, anyway, Rock kept the best for himself (and if he didn't, Bob did.) Overall Measurements: 3.1 x 4.3 x 2.2 inches (8.0 x 11.0 x 5.6 cm) Offered at no reserve Provenance: Collected by Rock Currier and Bob Bartsch, summer of 1983 [RHC #5661] [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
