Well Dave, I wasn't sure where to stick these pics so I
thought I'd stick 'em here, in Scotts' way. Wink
It does come from the same spot and we were looking for
Ilmenite when you found it.
But this looks more like the "Speclarite" Hematite. I thought
there might be Ilmenite coming out of it in the last 3 pics?

Agreed, Fire, they are all pretty awesome!
I really like the internal and external staircases in the 4th pic. Smiley
Very glad to see you re-visiting these crystals, Scott.
Great pictures!
Beautiful job capturing the "swirls" in the last close-up.
BTW, What's up with that?  Huh
