Showing off my cracked open rocks from Graves Mountain
Most of the great finds at Graves Mountain are large boulders, though they are nearly impossible to move without heavy machinery which is not allowed to be used at the Graves Mountain dig site. So the biggest rocks are ones that will fit in a hand cart or a backpack.
This video is my content for #fridaysrock
Since it can be quite a hike out of the dig site most people only try to find little rocks. Leaving large specimens all over. I brought some home and tried to knock off the lesser rock formations on the specimens with mixed success.
Some rocks had nice formations inside and others turned into dust when trying to work with them. There is alot going on in the ground at Graves mountain so some of the store is more like charcoal than hard rock.
Addresses below to help me buy better camera equipment and support me to travel to locations to do photo and video and overall great blogs in new places. I would be happy to list some of the contributors in my posts for donations that help me along the way.
