frank c Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Wish those pics were smaller then I could see better, looks like you might think about cutting that bad boy in half an see whats inside ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haderly Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 That sure looks like the Apatite in jasper from Brazil that I bought awhile back. The location sure does not match unless you were target practicing in Brazil. Other then someone clearing out there rock pile I have no clue what else it could be. I sure would cut it up if I was you…it would make beautiful cabs.Here is a link to the picture of mine.http://www.nuggetshooter.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=18456&view=findpost&p=145352 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The matrix in the photo doesn't resemble the jasper in the link. An exact location of where it was found might help... I also agree it could be from someone clearing out their rock collection.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haderly Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I would have a better chance shooting at a rock then trying to identify one from a picture. I did do a little research and found a blue beryl occurrence 15 miles south of Peach Springs called Blue Bird prospect (Bountiful Beryl prospect). The location maybe off but by the looks of the rock beryl seems to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Pan Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'd sure like to see inside. Could reveal to enlighten, amaze, or confuse. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
