Phil, List,

I put a couple slides of this material under the 'scope and found only very
small bits of metal in the blue lithology - and then, only in brownish areas
of it. (Yeah, but the slice is from a distinctly blue sample.) The brown
lithology had small, but naked eye size blebs of metal. It sounds like
brown, metal and magnetic are closely related. And that the blue lithology
started out with very little metal.

I just added three pictures to the bottom of this page:

I find it interesting that the blue material is usually mentioned as being
less weathered but I've never seen any with visible metal but I have found
shiny iron flecks in the brown material.

My small blue stone was encased in more of a "rind" than any of my brown
stones if that fact is interesting at all.

Anybody have the blue material with visible metal?

Regards,
Phil
